Whether you want to wow house guests or just yourself, here are the things we love to take your home to the next level.

The Kitchen
This year’s Houzz kitchen trends study found that countertops are one of the most popular kitchen upgrades of the year, with 89% of renovating homeowners planning to update their surfacing. You want it to be beautiful but also functional, so it's one of the most critical investments to make. We love Silestone by Cosentino because of its beautiful, durable surfacing, which is made to withstand everyday wear and tear for years. It’s highly resistant to stains, scratches, and etching. And it requires zero maintenance, so you don’t need sealing as you do with marble or granite. It’s also incredibly versatile. You can use it for countertops, backsplashes, even flooring, and walls. Two popular new collections are Silestone Sunlit Days, inspired by the Mediterranean, and the Ethereal Collection, inspired by marble.

When it comes to kitchen appliances, the fast-growing luxury brand is Signature Kitchen Suite. It's for the true foodies and cooking connoisseurs. Their 24-inch undercounter convertible refrigerator/freezer drawers are a first-of-its-kind built-in with two drawers that operate independently with multi-temp™ settings and six different modes. Select from the pantry, fridge, bar, seafood, meat, and the option to convert to a freezer. And the temperature can be further adjusted, ensuring that no matter what is being stored, it's at just the right temperature to keep it fresher for longer. It’s also Wi-Fi enabled, so you can control it remotely if you need to. Plus, it is Energy Star® certified, meaning it saves energy and reduces environmental impact. You can get it with stainless steel or add panels to match your kitchen cabinetry. Check it out on their virtual showroom at signaturekitchensuite.com.

The Bedroom
For all your beautiful bedroom goodness, turn to Mellanni. They are the go-to for quality, stylish bedding at the most affordable prices. Their 1800 Collection sheet set is the #1 selling sheet set on Amazon. It's made from brushed microfiber, so it's super soft and breathable but really durable. It's available in more than 40 colors and patterns. It's fade, stain, and wrinkle resistant. It comes with a fitted and flat sheet, and 2 pillowcases, starting at just $24.95.

Their silk pillowcase is made of real 100% mulberry silk. It's hypoallergenic, dust resistant, and mite resistant. It regulates temperature and is breathable and moisture-wicking. And it also prevents skin wrinkles and hair breakage. It’s about $17 to $44 and comes in 16 colors, with or without piping.

Lastly, the faux fur duvet cover set is an all-seasons duvet cover, a soft, cozy faux fur. You can drape it over a couch or chair in the living room as a cozy throw too. Even in the summer! Get them for 50 to 60 bucks, all on Amazon. All of their stuff comes with a lifetime warranty and a 100% satisfaction money-back guarantee.
