There are closet staples like a white tee or a denim shirt and, similarly, there are home staples. As I was looking back through my order history on Wayfair the other day, I noticed that there were several items that I had ordered on multiple occasions because they happened to work perfectly in multiple rooms. I thought it might be helpful to share a list of items that I consider a “home staple”, items that work in different rooms. These items aren’t necessarily the most exciting to shop for but they can still make a big impact.
My Go-To Curtain Rod
Whenever I decorate a room and need a curtain rod, I find myself just re-ordering this one. It’s simple but feels elegant and just works anywhere. I love the antique brass finish and the price-point isn’t bad either!
Ceiling Medallions I’ve Ordered More Than Once
I’ve used this specific ceiling medallion in at least 3 different rooms in our current home and previous apartments. I love the floral detailing and, if you paint it, it can look like it’s been there forever. If you’re looking for a smaller option, I really love this one.
Wooden Moulding to Add Character
I’m always adding trim to walls around the house and, when I do, there are a few that I frequently gravitate towards. I like to use this one or this one for a chair rail and then this one for any picture frame moulding above or below the chair rail moulding. It’s also nice to just get it delivered sometimes rather than going to your hardware store and cramming it into your car.
A Classic Floor Lamp
I love a timeless floor lamp that feels traditional but you can swap the lampshade for something more fun or keep with the classic one that comes with it. I have this floor lamp in multiple rooms and it’s just a good option that has an antique-inspired look.
Timeless Dishware That Works For Multiple Holidays
I have these dishes and, once fall rolls around, I find myself using them for everything. The floral pattern is fun to mix with other patterned napkins or table linens and the brown coloring feels a little more fall/winter than the blue/white.
Garland That Never Goes Out of Style
I have used this garland year after year. Some garland can feel like it’s too trendy but this one is simple enough to dress up differently each year with different color/textured ribbon and lights.
A Tray for Anywhere
This marble tray is stunning in person and is perfect for organizing jewelry on a dresser, items on a nightstand, or on a coffee table. It just works in so many different places and the details really feel more expensive than it is.
Bedroom Details That Feel Classic
These details technically really only work in a bedroom but they felt classic enough to include in this list!
