Home should be a sanctuary, an escape from the outside world. And while most of that feeling of comfort and bliss is thanks to the people who inhabit a space, it also comes from surrounding ourselves with our favorite things. Everybody’s version of tranquility is different, and what we fill our space with comes down to taste and budget. For some, it’s a lavish throw blanket to curl up inside while watching movies. For others, a handmade lamp to read beside. Perhaps it’s a simple wooden vase to place in a sun-dappled corner of the room. Whether a beautiful artwork, luxurious loungewear, incense, records, cushions, a fancy martini glass—you name it—each item here is meant to be enjoyed at home. Staying home needn’t be defeatist; it can be replenishing, comforting and often provides some of the most special memories.
