This former catalog-only home furnishings outfit has become a one-stop shop for sleek and trendy furnishings. With upholstered modular seating that starts at $199 per piece, stained wood coffee tables for under $200, and jute boucle rugs that are $19 and up, it's perfect for the hip urbanite on a budget (and a favorite of the Queer Eye's Fab Five). For under $300, you can turn your bathroom into an oasis straight from the pages of Elle Décor complete with linen shower curtain ($39), embroidered towels ($20), and chic, glass-doored cabinets ($169). A flat-rate delivery charge of $65 to the five boroughs sweetens the deal.
