Whenever I leave on a trip, I try to clean my house properly. I’m talking sheets washed, beds made, every room vacuumed, surfaces wiped, you get the idea. I tell myself that “Future Jess” is going to be very happy. And surprisingly, Future Jess is always extremely grateful that Past Jess made her life so easy and nice when she got home. This same principle can apply to you right now. There may be some things you wanted to add or upgrade, but they’ve been pushed down the list. Now think about eliminating those things before the new year begins while also saving money! You will be incredibly happy and grateful in the future. So today, we’re looking at Wayfair’s Amazing End-of-Year Clearance Sale Some of these simple but very impressive easy home upgrades to accomplish. I mean, up to 60% off and fast shipping, while checking off the “want to do” boxes is a Christmas gift in itself. Let’s join in.
There aren’t many of us who couldn’t benefit from some more storage… especially really pretty storage. I love both of these cabinets, and if I had the space, I would happily have one in my home. Also, both of these cabinets are open And closed storage. This means you can show off your beautiful things and hide the things that should be kept out of sight until needed. I know arches have been very popular, but these two look so classic that they will work stylistically for years to come. Oh, and did I mention they’re on sale in bulk and each comes in three different wood colors? So yes, this is a smart (and beautiful) purchase to start your 2026 off on the right note.
Remember when Mallory had the genius idea to use a storage bench in her studio apartment as banquette seating? Well, it looked great, but they certainly weren’t cheap. Luckily for all of us, Wayfair has almost identical option For a fraction of the price! It also comes in black and white oak and costs less than $300. Look? I told you it was good! Again, the more storage the better, and these would make great dining benches, an ideal entry bench, and great in the bedroom. So many uses and options.

A new rug makes a room feel brand new, guaranteed, and we really like it This oneA little bit of color so it’s not too neutral but not so bright as to distract. The perfect modern traditional rug if you ask me.

I know we’re practically in winter, so preparing your outdoor space for spring sooner rather than later (especially if you have some time off around New Years) is never a bad idea. these wooden tiles These are a great way to personalize your outdoor space and make it more attractive. I used something similar on my balcony and still love it. The wood is so beautiful that there is no need to paint them, as I did with mine, but that is also an option if you prefer.


Go ahead, garage fridge, and hello, refrigerator drawerMy one true dream, if I ever have my own house. These are great because they can be freestanding or easily integrated into your cabinets if you’re renovating. Emily has them in her mountain home and in her farmhouse, if that tells you anything 🙂 Oh, and they’re 68% off…

Speaking of fridges, this might be the year you finally get one he freestanding beverage fridgeIf you’re like me and are renting, this might be a more practical alternative to those drawers I was just talking about, But of course, you can be a homeowner and get one too 🙂 As an avid beverage consumer, this will undoubtedly raise my 2026 levels, Did I mention it’s under $200??
And finally, if you don’t really “need” something, but you’re looking for a small but impactful upgrade (especially for those cold winter nights), warm light light bulb Is a game-changer. These are a little more decorative and have a vintage feel, but that makes them better in my book. A quick, affordable solution. Isn’t this the best kind??
