Out with the old and in the new, as they say. With the new year rounding the corner, this can certainly apply to the home department. Adding an item or two may be just what you need to make your home feel like new without the need to completely remodel or move. Talk about a major money-saver! West Elm is just the resource you need to make this happen, too. From a cozy, decorative new throw to warm up with for movie nights to a brand new floor lamp to brighten up your space, we’ve crafted a comprehensive list to update all areas of your home, no matter the size of the space or your personal style. Did we mention everything is on sale, too? We know that West Elm isn’t always the most affordable place to shop, so we feel the need to broadcast every big sale of theirs. Read on to see how you can upgrade your space and get ready to add one (or a few) of these must-have finds to your cart.

After a long day, when you finally get a chance to sprawl out on the couch and relax, you don’t want anyone or anything disrupting your leisure time. That goes not just for loud roommates, but also for out-of-reach snacks, remotes that fall through the couch cushions, and food that drips onto your clothes on the way to your mouth. Side tables and coffee tables are great, but they still don’t put everything within arm’s reach. Fortunately, home improvement TikTokers are amazing when it comes to discovering and sharing cheap solutions to even the most niche problems. That’s how we discovered an Amazon find that makes your sofa even more comfortable than it already is: the Sofa Arm Clip Table.

This affordable Amazon gadget is designed to solve all your lounging woes. It’s sort of like a TV tray, except instead of balancing over your lap and shaking at the slightest movement, it clamps securely onto the arm of your sofa. If you don’t have a side table at all, this product is a great alternative — maybe even better, considering it doesn’t require any assembly. Just take it out of the box, slide it on, and you’re all set! Amazon customers also love how multifunctional it is. “Y’all this tray is a lifesaver,” one reviewer wrote. “I can get up and sit down on my couch without worrying about if my drink will fall over… Definitely worth every penny.”
Like a regular table, this tray can hold just about anything, including drinks, phones, food, glasses, remotes… you get the idea… but you don’t have to leave your comfy position to reach them. The clamps can open up to 9″ to fit even the widest sofa arms. Live in a smaller apartment and don’t have enough space for more than one table in your living room? This tray can add that much-needed extra surface area. “Our living room is smaller, and this is a great space saver!” one reviewer shared. “It’s sturdy and stays put.”
With its black finish and simple round design, this genius product will look stylish in just about any room. Snag yours now, and get ready to leisure in luxury.

From size to style to color, the choices are endless when it comes to shopping for a sofa. But even before you get into the details, one of the most important decisions to make is which fabric is right for you. Leather sofas are a classic choice, and it’s no secret that velvet sofas are currently having a moment of their own, but one upholstery style we love (and feel doesn’t get nearly enough credit) is the linen sofa. Now, while linen has a reputation for being an exceptionally strong, smooth, and soft natural material, it’s also known for being a bit high maintenance. However, when it comes to sofas and seating, most pieces are made with performance linen, an enhanced form of the fabric that’s designed to withstand more use while still retaining the elegant style and high-quality feel you’ve come to associate with linen furniture. Below, we rounded up 10 of the best linen sofas that will become a staple in your home for generations to come.

Some people get their kicks from the latest installment of the “Star Wars” saga. For others, it’s discovering vintage comic books or anticipating the latest video game. For me, I geek out on furniture — specifically coffee tables. These functional pieces are great for everything from gathering with friends and family to setting down your drinks to putting your feet up (or if you’re like me, eating dinner while watching reruns of “Law & Order: SVU”). And while the straight edges of a rectangular coffee table might be the go-to choice for many, sometimes right angles turn out to be the wrong fit for a room. This is where opting for a modern, round coffee table will save the day.
By helping you maximize every square inch of your small space, round coffee tables give you more walking room, allowing for better traffic flow. Rounded edges can also soften your aesthetic and may simply fit better with the size, shape, and placement of your sofa — and all the while, your tired feet will never know the difference. I’ve pulled together 15 of my favorite modern round coffee tables (in a mix of price points and styles) to set you off in the right direction when searching for your perfect piece. Watch out for the dangerously stunning curves ahead.
