9 Best Filing Cabinets For Stashing Stylishly (2026)
These stylish office staples are a far cry from clerical
By Julia HarrisonOctober 18, 2026In the office of this 1920s Tudor revival revived by AD PRO Directory designer Bethany Adams, the sharp angles of a Tudor gable form the room’s roofline, while a large balcony skylight ushers in natural light.Photo Justin Jordan, Styled by Kimberly SwedeliusSave this storySave this storyThe filing cabinet was built for the 20th-century office, where sameness was the point and a row of gray vertical file cabinets meant everything was perfectly organized. At home, the same piece of office furniture has a harder job. It sits beside a sofa, slides under a desk in a studio apartment, or stands in as a nightstand. It has to look more intentional and aesthetic than Enron might have it.
7 Best Murphy Beds That Are Stylish and Space-Saving (2026)
These frames help you make space for overnight guests without sacrificing your room’s style
Bespoke cabinetry reveals a Murphy bed in the guest bedroom, which doubles as a workspace, at AD100 designer Mandy Cheng's Los Angeles home.Photo: Yoshihiro MakinoSave this storySave this storyA guest bedroom is a wonderful space to have, especially if you love hosting, but dedicating an entire room to a bed that only gets used a handful of times a year isn't always the best use of square footage. A Murphy bed offers a clever alternative. Originally touted as "The Disappearing Bed" in the early 20th century, the foldaway design eventually took on the name of its inventor, William Lawrence Murphy. More than a century later, it's still helping homeowners turn home offices, playrooms, and other hardworking spaces into comfortable guest rooms at a moment's notice.

7 Best Down Pillows, Tested by AD Editors (2026)
Our writers stand behind these fluffy picks for a good night’s sleep

Just look at the competition: Memory foam pillows? Sometimes on the super-firm side. Throw pillows? Designed for decor instead of sleep support. Down pillows are different all around because they’re incredibly plush and tend not to deflate over time. The not-so-secret stuff is down filling from goose or duck feathers that gives them their soft, fluffy feel.
Jon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad’s Anthropologie Collection Gives You 46 Reasons To Throw A Dinner Party (2026)
The artist couple’s first home collaboration includes a fringed piano stool, a painted record player, and a chair upholstered in Jaouad’s artwork
AD toured the couple’s 19th-century Brooklyn town house back in 2023.Courtesy of AnthropologieSave this storySave this storyJon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad created a name for their home-decor style: Tunisiana. It’s a portmanteau inspired by their fatherlands, Tunisia and Louisiana, and the French and African roots the two places share. Back in 2023, AD readers got a look at the couple’s then-newly renovated Brooklyn town house in a piece Jaouad wrote for the magazine. Much of the updated decor came directly from Jaouad, a writer and painter, who reupholstered furniture and taught herself how to do fresco painting and plasterwork. Now, the couple is bringing Tunisiana to homes everywhere with a new 46-piece collection for Anthropologie Home that spans furniture, tabletop, decor, and entertaining.

10 Best Cotton Sheets for a Classic Bedscape, Tested by AD (2026)
We walk through our top choices, including smooth sateens and crisp percales
By Yelena Moroz AlpertOctober 14, 2026Photo: Jeff HoltSave this storySave this storyMy mother always told me that the best cotton sheets are an investment I would not regret. She is right (as always)—the unfussy fabric is anything but one-note. But not all cotton sheets are woven from the same cloth. After testing countless sets, I’ve learned that the weave, makeup, and finishing technique of the cotton fibers make a huge difference in how sheets look and feel. I rely on brushed flannel sheets to get me through Cleveland winters, but switch to smooth sateen sheets during fall and spring when transitional bedding is a must. Come summer, I pull out airy percales with a crisp, matte finish. Breathability is the one thing all these cotton sheets have in common—imperative for anyone who sleeps hot, like my husband.
The Best Dash Cam
Life moves pretty quickly. If you don’t have a dash cam to record an incident, you could miss it. Accidents — even small ones — can be frightening and frustrating. Being blamed for a crash that’s not your fault can add a whole additional level of annoyance — or worse. That’s why a dash cam…
The Best iPhone Screen Protectors
Using a glass screen protector isn’t a guarantee that you’ll never break your iPhone’s screen. But a protector can prevent screen scratches, which affect the structural integrity of the glass and make cracks more likely.

The Best Men’s Jeans
The very best jeans tell a story, with every frayed edge, whisker, and fade a plot point.

7 Best Trundle Beds That Are Modern and Space-Saving (2026)

Trundle beds date back around the 1600s, but they are far from traditional. You can find them in a variety of modern forms and finishes, and there are thoughtfully designed options integrated into daybeds, bunk beds, and captain’s beds to boot. For adult couples who could use more space to stretch out, some trundles also pop up to give guests extra room.
The Best Travel Pillow
With narrow, lightly padded seats and inadequate recline, airplane seats will never be comfortable. But on a long flight, minimizing discomfort is key, and a travel pillow can help.

6 Best Bed Frames of All Kinds, Tested By AD Editors (2026)
Featuring a bamboo platform that goes up without a single tool and a lift-up storage bed that stores a winter wardrobe
By Julia HarrisonOctober 13, 2026A bamboo pendant by Ay Illuminate hangs in a guest bedroom of an Ibizan getaway by designer Faye Toogood, featuring her art above the bed.Photo: Tobias Alexander HarveySave this storySave this storyA bed frame is one of the few pieces of furniture you’ll see every single day, which is a good argument for choosing one with a distinct design. Sometimes that design helps the bedding, art, and the rest of the room’s style carry the look, like Thuma or Nectar’s low, minimalist platforms. Other times it’s the opposite, and a frame like Interior Define’s velvet wingback becomes what the whole bedroom is built around. Either way, the design has to sit on good bones, meaning a solid slat system, support legs, and a weight capacity that accounts for two people and a heavy mattress.
