One of my favourite places to shop for one-of-a-kind products for my home is Etsy. The seller promotes small businesses and offers a wide range of pieces from talented entrepreneurs that can't be found anywhere else. If you're attracted to Etsy for this reason, know you're not alone. The retailer is a gold mine for statement decor that gets a lot of "hey, where'd you get that?" questions from visitors. One of my favourite ways to discover new brands on the site is through its Design Award Finalists, which is done annually. This is when Etsy picks 100 sellers whose talent goes unmatched.
From categories like home decor to kitchen and dining to furniture and art and more, there are so many creative and unique items to discover. Whether it be for your bedroom, living room, or even your kitchen, prepare to unveil some quirky and fun items that you never thought you needed. This year's finalists are filled with as much talent as we anticipated — a lot — so we picked out our top ten favourite items from these talented sellers to shop for yourself. From unique mirrors to colourful furniture pieces and wall art that can't be replicated, we're in love with these Etsy picks. Keep reading to shop our favourites.
A Unique Mirror: Extra Large Leaning Wavy Mirror
The Extra Large Leaning Wavy Mirror ($2,889) will make a statement in your home. It's inspired by the famous 'Ultrafragola' mirror by Ettore Sottsass and is made from five layers of plywood and painted in millennial pink. Its unique look and large size will capture the attention of passersby.
A Modern Office Desk: Sawyer Desk
Equipped with two dovetail drawers and a solid wood frame, this modern Sawyer Desk ($2,599) will make your home office look chic and pristine. Its real wood frame is subject to changing colour in sunlight, so if you're placing it near a window, be sure to move your desktop items around to prevent staining.
A Throwback Lamp: Vintage Handpainted Yellow and Pink Ikea Lamp
Brighten up your home (quite literally) with the Vintage Handpainted Yellow and Pink Ikea Lamp ($125). The lamp is a discontinued Ikea lamp that was only sold in the year 2000. The model is called Sextett, and if you look up the original you'll be amazed by the artwork that was done.
A Post Modern Candle Holder: Candle VTG Ceramic Pink Flower Tapered Candle
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind candle holder, the VTG Ceramic Pink Flower Tapered Candle ($1,140) is your best bet. The holder is handpainted in a pastel colour with a flower design that will pop on a white mantel or shelf. The holder is slightly oversize, so prepare to use some melting wax to secure your candle inside.
An Eye Popping Bookcase: Mid Century Bookcase
We bet you've never seen a bookcase quite like this Mid Century Bookcase ($4,408). The case has a special flow to it that's unlike most furniture. Use its shelves to display small trinkets and books. The case is so wide and large that it can even be used as a room divider.
A Quilt Table Runner: Modern Table Runner
Host your next gathering with this Modern Table Runner ($295). It's a handcrafted quilted runner that looks good on both a table surface or draped across the end of your bed. Its abstract design is inspired by the night and day beauty of Yosemite National Park and blends in with a range of decor styles.
A Milk Jug: Polka Dots Ceramic Water or Milk Jug
Milk doesn't get much more boujee than when poured out of the Polka Dots Ceramic Water or Milk Jug ($110). It's so pretty, you won't want to put any liquid inside of it at all. Use it as a zero-waste refill for your drinks. Made of ceramic, this product is hand painted and is truly one of a kind.
A Bold Coffee Table: Haricot Colourful Coffee Table
If you're looking to add colour to your space, this Haricot Colourful Coffee Table ($859) is here to help. Available in ten colour options, it's up to you to choose which one best matches your home (but blue is our personal favourite). It's handcrafted of certified wood and painted in a workshop before it goes out for shipment.
Colourful Coasters: Glass Tile Coasters
Drinks will have a nice spot to rest with the Glass Tile Coasters ($18). The coasters are made of high-quality tiles that can handle both hot and cold temperatures without a problem, so feel free to drink up. Their bright colours pair wonderfully with clear glasses.
A Boucle Chair: Vintage Postmodern Boucle Bolster Club Chair
If you're looking for a unique furniture piece for your living room or bedroom, give this Vintage Postmodern Boucle Bolster Club Chair ($3,400) a try. It's made of a boucle fabric that's soft and comfortable. Not only will this chair make a statement, but its supportive back and base will keep you cosy for as long as you wish.
