Nordstrom is known for their wide selection of clothes and makeup, but don’t limit your shopping spree to those two categories. We’re big fans of the mega-retailer for items that add serious style to your home too—this is The Spruce, after all.
We’re not the only ones who shop Nordstrom for home products. Interior designers are just as jazzed about their home selection, so we tapped a few for their top product picks.
Scroll on for 12 products that home designers love—and you can add everything to your cart today before the Anniversary sale begins.
Maison Balzac Coucou Set of Tall Glasses
“Why have standard glasses when you could have these rad pink hexagon glasses?” asks interior designer Allison Garrison of Allito Spaces. No matter what you’re sipping—whether simple lemon water or a fizzy cocktail topped with a fresh sprig of herbs—these geometric glasses from Maison Balzac would brighten up any dinner party and can double as small vases too.
Bed Threads Linen Placemats
“The best part of summer is the parties, and that calls for beautiful tablescapes,” interior designer Sarah Storms of Styled by Storms says. So send out invites to a summer soiree—that is, only after you add these oh-so-fun two-toned wavy placemats. They're Storms’ new favorite and come in a coordinating napkin version, both of which you can add to your Nordstrom cart.
LSA Pleat Vase
Interior designer Meredith Owen of Meredith Owen Interiors is a self-proclaimed sucker for fresh flowers in her home, so she loves this pleated glass vase from LSA. It's versatile, elegant, and in the words of Owen, "it's absolute perfection."
Le Creuset Salt and Pepper Mill Set
When Ashley Macuga, the principal designer behind Collected Interiors, styles kitchens, she selects functional items that add to the design aesthetic—like this salt and pepper mill set from Le Creuset.
“These gorgeous white marble salt and pepper mills make seasoning your meals a true act of beauty, and their traditional shape means that they can be used across design styles,” Macuga says.
MoMA Artist Wooden Doll
To instantly add serious charm to any vignette, Storms recommends one (or more) of these wooden figures, which are inspired by Japanese friendship dolls. Choose from cultural icons including Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keefe, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
“Decorative accessories have the ability to add a lot of personality or kitsch to a cocktail table, console, or shelf,” Storms says. “I love the playfulness of these pieces and they mix well with books, ceramics, and trinket trays.”
Cloudnola Flip Top Glass Vase
Both Macuga and Garrison give a fervent thumbs up to this versatile and sculptural vase. Use its narrow vase opening for just a few blooms or flip the top upside down when you need space for a large bouquet. Best of all, it looks just as striking on its own as it does when filled with a bouquet of peonies, so you can use it on an entryway table or nightstand—no flowers necessary.
“I love going to Trader Joe’s for a floral haul, but the reality of life is that I can’t always get there,” says Macuga. “So when I am selecting vessels or vases, I want them to have visual impact on their own.”
Liberty London Maxine Double Sided 500-Piece Puzzle
Puzzling has seen a resurgence in the last few years—so much so that Macuga is installing more game tables in living spaces than ever before. For a design-forward option, add this Liberty London design to your stack. Its eclectic graphic design is two-sided, so it’s twice as much fun.
“Puzzles and board games bring families together and away from their screens, so this trend is as good for the soul as it is for the functional design of a living room,” Macuga says.
Ferm Living Grain Jacquard Tea Towel
Chances are your kitchen’s tea towels have seen better (brighter, cleaner) days. If it's time to upgrade, how about this Garrison-approved towel with Jacquard-woven stripes?
“I would use them as oversized napkins for a dinner party in addition to having them hang on my stove to give the kitchen some extra style,” Garrison says.
The Conrad Shop Hand Painted Pasta Bowl
Consider Garrison a big fan of The Conrad Shop’s hand-painted dinnerware collection, including this lavender pasta bowl. She recommends pairing it with white dinnerware for individual settings or on its own to serve side dishes. Either way, it's sure to delight you each night for dinner.
Nest New York Himalayan Salt and Rosewater Scented Candle
You may have the look of your living space nailed down, but don’t forget another sense: scent. That’s why you should shop Nordstrom for a light, joyful aroma, like this Nest New York candle—one of Storms’s favorites.
“Rose can sometimes be an overwhelming scent, but this candle has a light floral, balanced, and joyful aroma,” she says. “It is the perfect warm-weather mood maker.”
