We’re on day two of Amazon Prime Day, and as the Strategist’s home and design writer, I’m still on the lookout for the best deals on products for every space in your home. On day one, the biggest savings I found were on larger items like bed frames and rugs, as well as small appliances like air purifiers and the bidet I truly can’t live without. (I’ve included more detail on all my personal favorites, below.) There are also great discounts on some of my favorite rocker gliders and storage and home-organization products.
Be sure to check back often, as I’ll continue to update this story with actually good home deals — at least 20 percent off, if not more — until the end of Prime Day. If you see something you like, buy it while you can, because stock and prices can change at any time, and as the day goes on, things are more likely to sell out for good. For even more Prime Day deals on everything from fashion and beauty to kitchen gear, tech, and mattresses, check out our Amazon Prime Day hub — or if you want to see a curated selection of our absolute favorite picks across all categories, read our list of the 45 very best Prime Day deals, according to the Strategist writers. Prime Day ends tomorrow at 2:59 a.m. Eastern, so if you’ve got any final purchases lingering in your cart, check out sooner rather than later to be sure you don’t miss out on the discounts.
I’ve owned this solid-wood bed frame from Zinus for over five years and use it in my guest room.
But if you just want the most minimal frame possible, there’s also this simple metal platform bed frame for under $60.
… While this nice-looking wood-and-metal one has a more industrial vibe.
Our favorite sateen sheets from Brooklinen are 25 percent off. The brand’s best-in-class plush towels are also 20 percent off with an on-page coupon (though they are not technically labeled as a Prime Day deal, that’s still a good discount).
Our favorite cooling bamboo sheets — available in twin, twin XL, and full sizes — are also 25 percent off.
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 weighted blanket with a fuzzy sherpa side for extra warmth.
This is a great price for a 100 percent cotton throw.
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.
Here’s a lovely hand-blocked tablecloth in a salmon-pink floral pattern.
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 $130.
I love the scalloped edges of this small jute rug that would look nice in an entryway or on a stair landing.
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.
If you would prefer a rug you can wash, here’s one from our best-in-class brand Ruggable for 25 percent off.
Aura makes some of our favorite digital picture frames. I personally own one and have gifted two others to family members.
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.
In my opinion, you can never have too many power outlets in your home, and this is a great price for a surge protector from a trusted brand.
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 bladeless 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.
I use several variations of these cotton rope baskets to organize my kids’ toys as well as diapers, wipes, and throw blankets.
This collapsible drying rack made of bamboo is a great space-saving option for city apartments.
This plastic storage basket has perforations on the sides and bottom and can be used as a shower caddy or for storing cleaning supplies.
She also loves this 25-piece set of drawer organizers to corral the smaller items we all have floating around.
Give your bathroom a splash of color with this fun towel from Mackenzie-Childs.
For a more utilitarian look, a set of plush Turkish towels that includes two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths.

You can save a few bucks on the refills, too.
This professional-grade pellet grill is pricey, but the 20-percent-off discount is enticing.
Here’s a cute wooden table set from Melissa & Doug, great for meals and art time.
These expert-approved floating acrylic shelves would look nice in a kid’s room for books and small toys.
I bought a version of this five years ago when my younger son was a baby, and we still use it with our second kid.
If you’re expecting, this crib from Babyletto is a very popular choice among new parents.
This solid-wood bunk bed from one of our favorite bunk-bed brands is on sale for under $300.
This one comes with a slide.
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 set of cute bamboo plates that New York deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff’s kids use.
Get the kids their own bouclé chair.
This Barbie-pink trestle desk would be great for a tween.
