If you can’t knock down a wall or redo the bathroom, these small (and practical) luxuries will go a long way.
Welcome to Someone Buy This!, a monthly shopping column featuring the fun, the frivolous, and the practical from a very discerning shopper.
Most of us want our homes to look expensive without, you know, actually being expensive. Sometimes the quickest way to elevate a room isn’t with sledgehammers and paint rollers, but with a few upgrades that punch above their weight. Think of these picks as the design equivalent of a good haircut: small changes, big impact, zero regrets!
In the kitchen
Remsen Pill Container
This pill container combines minimalist beauty with mindful functionality. Die-cast aluminum lid with integrated mirrored surface. Magnetic closure for secure storage. Dimensions: 6-¾” L x 1-⅜” H 
Last year, while seeking to replace my sad, faded plastic pill container, I stumbled upon Remsen. The brand was founded by two designers who saw a lack of well-designed products that serve an older and/or disabled demographic. They make things like shower chairs, grab bars, and my favorite, the pill container. I used to tuck my old pill container away because it would really bring down the vibe of any surface it was on. Because of that, I would often forget to take my meds and vitamins! With its shiny aluminum construction and textured lid, Remsen’s pill container is beautiful enough for a prime spot on your nightstand or kitchen counter.
Holcomb Dripless Oil Can
Meet our dripless Oil Can which features an elongated spout that ensures an even and steady pour. Furthermore, the tip of the spout is hand-sharpened to cut through the oil’s stream, reducing drips. Made of stainless steel, our Oil Can’s refined silhouette protects against light and debris to keep the oil fresh. 
I’m a huge fan of Holcomb’s entire product line, but today we’re talking about the brand’s beautiful oil can. It’s made of stainless steel, which will protect your olive oil from UV rays, preventing oxidation and maintaining its flavor. This is a great bottle to use while cooking and serving. It’ll look beautiful on both your counter and table top.
In the bedroom
Cultiver Heavyweight Linen Bed Cover
Designed to fall to the floor, with a generous heavy weight, the Heavyweight Linen Bedcover collection epitomizes refined European luxury. Thick-textured, heavy weight linen made from rustic yarns. Minor imperfections are characteristic of this linen which lends to its overall natural beauty. 
Cultiver’s heavyweight linen bedcover is a pricey but 1,000 percent worth-it splurge for your bedroom. At a GSM of 320, it’s about double the weight of good linen sheets. Each year, I am excited to swap out my down comforter for the linen bedcover. It’s intentionally oversize, pools dramatically around the bed, and looks so, so good. You will not regret this purchase!
Revival Sweatshirt Rug
As cozy as your favorite sweatshirt, this rug blends casual comfort with quiet luxury. Mill-carding, a process which separates and straightens yarn fibers, gives it a pleasant uneven texture underfoot. Made of recycled materials, this rug resembles a textural wool flatweave in touch and appearance-minus the shedding. 
A good rug is usually the answer to a room that feels off or unfinished. Revival’s Sweatshirt rug is aptly named. You know exactly what it’s going to feel like: extremely soft. This luxe rug will instantly level up your bedroom, just make sure you get the right size!
In the restroom
The Sproos
The sproos! filter is uniquely engineered to eliminate chlorine, heavy metals and large sediments from water in a sleek, lightweight design that easily installs beside your hand shower. Forget clunky filters and cumbersome contraptions.
Your hand shower stays light n’ lean with flawless flow, thanks to a sleek and discreet design. In true sproos! style, our filters are ready to roll and easily replaced in minutes. No elbow grease necessary.
Nothing turns around a sad bathroom like a new showerhead. I love a high-pressure handheld showerhead for two reasons: It makes it infinitely easier to clean the shower and I want to powerwash shampoo from my scalp. My beloved Sproos showerhead does both these things and it’s yellow! The water pressure on this thing is incredible and its matte finish means no finger prints. One caveat is that it’s made entirely of plastic, which may not exactly scream “upgrade” to some.
Hammerhead 3-Spray Shower Head
We get it, you like options. That’s why we brought you this 3-Spray Metal handheld shower head set. OK, that’s a mouthful. Simply put, it means that we’ve packed three amazing spray settings into this handheld featuring the wide spray, mist and massage. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. I mean, these are the spray settings that most customers asked for. At the industry maximum 2.5 GPM flow rate, we ain’t holding anything back! Unlike plastic shower heads and components that wear out over time, our 3-function shower head is made from 304 stainless steel and brass — that is BUILT to LAST! You’d be hard pressed to find a multi-function shower head that can say the same. 
In that case, Hammerhead’s handheld showerhead is my favorite all-metal pick. It’s got similar spray settings, really great water pressure and comes in a ton of finishes.
Quiet Town Sun Shower 2×2 – Butter
Introducing the Sun Shower 2×2, inspired by the graphic grout lines of our favorite tile—the 2″x2″ grid. Style it with stripes, patterns, or let it fill the space on its own. That’s the magic of the 2×2! As always, our Sun Shower curtains are made from 100% EVA, a non-chlorinated (zero off-gassing) vinyl with the juiciest color and crystal clear transparency. They are BPA & PVC-free. 
Quiet Town Sun Shower Curtain
Our EVA is Chlorine, PVC and BPA-free. You’ll know it’s a Quiet Town curtain by its luxuriously heavy weight and our( embossed QT logo. We applied the same thoughtful details to our Sun Shower collection as we did to our canvas curtains: 100% brass grommets & rounded corners so the Sun Showers can be used alone or as a liner with our canvas curtains. 
Want to make your bathroom and shower feel bigger? Consider a clear shower curtain. I’ve been recommending Quiet Town’s clear and tinted shower curtains for years. If you’re looking for a single wash of color, try a Sun Shower curtain. For pattern freaks like me, check out their 2×2 line featuring a sleek grid pattern in a variety of colors. These transparent shower curtains will make your shower feel so much bigger and, if you’re lucky enough to have a window in your shower, will let the light spill into the rest of your bathroom.
