Through May 29, H&M Home's entire site—including the already marked-down clearance section—is 20% off. Shop our editors’ favorite deals, below, or pop on over to our running roster of the worthiest Memorial Day sales. If H&M Home is an affordable decor destination that's been chilling under the radar for you, get ready to see those flying money emojis multiply. The cult-favorite clothing behemoth's lifestyle offshoot is a well-known source among Domino editors when it comes to securing expensive-looking designs that belie their IKEA-low prices. The boldly colored linens, highly rated tabletop gems, and whimsical kids’ products are just scratching the surface of the 2,000-plus stockist's shopping allure. Another plus? According to the company, it aims to work only with recycled, organic, and other sustainably sourced materials by 2030. If you’re curious about what the best things to buy at H&M Home are, just take a cue from our editors’ most-eyed items, below. The roster features fresh picks from the brand's just-launched spring collection, a strong showing of compliment-grabbing bedding, a sale section full of even steeper scores, and some very good vases.

The first stop we always make when perusing H&M Home's virtual shelves? The sale section. Right now, we spotted 200-plus items sporting double discounts, including summer-ready wares like a striped cotton towel big enough to comfortably fit more than one beachgoer and their bags. Other extra 20% off clearance gems include a handful of Domino-vetted finds, from a glossy terracotta planter (plus this stoneware vase) to a cool cotton percale bedding set (but just in the blush pink!).

Chic, affordable planters are hard to find—unless you’ve got the inside scoop on H&M Home's trove of offerings. The retailer is brimming with an impressive mix of pots in all sizes and sleek silhouettes. Another editor-favorite outdoor staple to score on the site? All-weather lighting accessories, like metal candleholders you can stake into your lawn and rattan-accented lanterns perfect for layering atop patio dining sets.

Solids, stripes, pastels, trim—there's really something for everyone in the bedding category at H&M Home. While cotton makes up most of the sheet selection, you can take your pick of linen, muslin, flannel, and satin, too. We’re fans of its quilts, which come at a fraction of the price of other investment brands.

The jute selection is tight at H&M Home, but the shapes and textures available more than make up for it. This mesmerizing oval number, for example, would fit well under a dining table. The flat-weave cotton options come at the right price for high-traffic areas like a bathroom, mudroom, and entryway. The one pictured is machine washable (just be prepared for minor shrinking).

We are particularly enthusiastic about H&M Home's glassware, but its stoneware plates and rattan accessories are worthy of praise, too. This section is also stocked with affordable linen napkins and tablecloths as well as extremely reasonable wood serving vessels.

Soothing neutrals with a few pops of pastels is the story in the bath section at H&M Home. We’re partial to the metal and marble accents, as well as the cheerful striped shower curtain that punches above its weight.

If you asked our shopping director, Liz Buxton, what the best things to buy at H&M Home are, she would tell you, "Throw pillows and seat cushions, hard stop." The expensive-looking designs—made of stonewashed linen, tufted cotton, and embroidered velvet—are the most affordable you’re likely to find. We’re talking an average of $25 a pop, with lows dipping to $4 scores.

Bins, baskets, containers with lids—all good things. H&M Home's storage and organization accessories run the gamut in color and material, with transitional space appeal. Take, for instance, this candy dish (below); it could also be a trinket spot or cotton ball home base. Laundry baskets need not be for T-shirts destined for the wash—why not towels in a guest room or toys? Let your mind run wild.

Candles can run steep sometimes, but not at H&M Home. Taper duos are no more than $10 at the moment, and candlesticks come in all shapes and sizes without running up the tab. That goes for vases as well—whether you’re seeking something that can handle heavy branches or just a few stems. The elegant metal and colored-glass designs are sure to elicit surprise from guests who’d never guess their well-under-$100 price tags.

Children's decor brands are all over the place when it comes to price and quality, not to mention style. But we can count on H&M Home for a seemingly endless trove of adorable and durable kids’ room furnishings. We particularly like the brand's bedding, which offers some of the best bang for your buck. There's always a cheerful mix of playful patterns and colors to be found. Not to mention, hello, this stuffed beanie-wearing seagull.
