There are tons of things for the home on sale during Amazon Prime Day’s two-day event, and as the Strategist’s home and design writer, I’m highlighting the best deals on everything from décor accents and furniture to small appliances like fans and dehumidifiers. Some of my favorite deals include this round mirror that an interior-design duo has used over 600 times, the bidet I cannot live without, and the air filter that I own multiples of. Other products below are things we’ve written about before — or are from brands we trust — across all categories, like office, baby gear, bedding, and even gardening. Based on my years of covering the home beat, I can tell you that Zinus makes inexpensive but reliable bed frames and some of them are on sale, including the solid-wood platform bed that’s in my guest room at home.
Be sure to check back often, as I’ll be updating this story with all the actually good home deals I come across over the next two days. For even more deals, head to our Amazon Prime Day hub of all the best deals, where you’ll find discounts on fashion, beauty, tech, kitchen, cleaning, and more, all vetted and curated by the Strategist staff.
Clear the air with a zingy grapefruit-scented candle from Nest (that would also make a great housewarming gift).
As mentioned above, the round mirror that a pair of professional home stagers swear by.
An arched full-length mirror that can also go just about anywhere — entryway, bedroom, hallway — for almost half off.
A jute rug will feel softer underfoot than sisal, if you’re looking for something made of natural fibers. This one is a good size for under $100.
This rug (and its many variations and sizes) has over 32,000 positive reviews on Amazon for being durable, easy to clean, and a great value.
I recently tried these brushed microfiber sheets and must admit they feel as soft and comfortable as cotton sheets.
Try a silk pillowcase for $10. (One side is made of 100 percent silk, and the reverse is made of Lyocell.)
If you’ve been curious about trying a weighted blanket, here’s one of our favorites on sale.
Or, here’s a cozier option: A 15-pound weighted blanket with a fuzzy sherpa side for extra warmth.
This is a great price for a 100 percent cotton throw.
Here’s a lovely hand-blocked tablecloth in a salmon-pink floral pattern.
I’ve owned this solid-wood bed frame from Zinus for over five years and use it in my guest room.
Also from Zinus, this metal bed frame has a lovely farmhouse look …
… While this nice-looking wood-and-metal one has a more industrial vibe.
But if you just want the most minimal frame possible, there’s also this simple metal platform bed frame for under $60.
I own this laptop stand and love how simple it is. It’s also super-easy to put together.
For the DIYers out there, this set includes a cordless drill and impact driver.
This small but mighty fan can easily go on top of a table. (I own several of these in the larger size and can attest to how efficient they are.)
This blade-less Dyson tower fan is over 30 percent off.
If you aren’t ready to splash out on a Dyson, here’s another on-sale tower fan.
I have one of these in every room of my house.

For smaller spaces, this air purifier is a little more compact.

This one comes with a slide.
If you’re expecting, this crib from Babyletto is a very popular choice among new parents.
This rocker glider is one of my top picks in the category — and one of the only ones with a power-recline feature.
No power recline on this less-expensive option, but its sloping arms give it a similar look, and it comes with a storage ottoman.
If you want something a little more traditional-looking, this one from Storkcraft is nice.
Here’s a cute wooden table set from Melissa & Doug, great for meals and art time.
