The Best Home Products of the Year, According to Apartment Therapy Readers

This is the kind of vacuum that turns “Ugh, I have to clean” into “Honestly … this is kind of fun.” The Dyson V11 has powerful suction, a lightweight frame, and smart features that adapt to different floors, so you can run from rug to hardwood without missing a beat. The cordless design means no dragging, no tripping, no excuses — just genuinely satisfying cleaning sessions that leave your space feeling fresh and under control.

If perfectly seared salmon, fluffy omelets, and effortless weeknight sautés are on your 2025 inspo board, these pans belong in your kitchen. They heat beautifully, wipe clean like a dream, and are sturdy enough for everyday use without feeling precious. Plus, they’re Le Creuset, so they look stunning on the stove, too.

Even if you never make tea, this is one of those pieces that instantly elevates your kitchen just by existing in it. The enamel finish, whimsical design, and just-enough drama make it feel like functional art. Use it for your nightly wind-down tea ritual or let it simply live on your stove as the charming, personality-packed moment your kitchen deserves.

These were a massive crowd-pleaser this year — and it makes sense. They’re sleek, rechargeable (so no hunting for fuel refills), and way more stylish than a disposable lighter rolling around in your drawer. Stock up for candles, fireplaces, grilling, or gifting. They’re one of those things you don’t realize you need — until suddenly you can’t live without them.

This Roomba doesn’t just vacuum — it mops, too. It navigates around furniture, keeps floors consistently tidy, and handles daily mess so you don’t have to. Perfect for pet owners, busy households, or anyone who wants to outsource at least one life task.

This is the heirloom piece. The Sunday sauce pan. The winter stew pot. The “I finally invested in something I’ll use forever” purchase. Deep enough for big-batch cooking, beautifully weighted for even heat, and made to last literal generations, it’s the definition of a kitchen staple — and it’s the one readers kept coming back to again and again.

If you love the feeling of a freshly swept floor but hate bending down with a dustpan, this gadget is about to become your favorite thing. Sweep debris near the base and like magic, it sucks everything inside: no bending, no spilling, no extra steps. It’s especially great for kitchens, entryways, high-traffic areas, and homes with pets.

Another Dyson favorite: Lighter, incredibly easy to maneuver, and equipped with detangling tech that helps keep hair from clogging things up (pet owners, rejoice). It’s powerful but approachable, making it perfect for apartments, smaller homes, or anyone who wants Dyson performance without feeling like they’re wielding a spaceship.

Meal prep? Hosting? Baking something cozy “just because”? These dishes do it all, and they look so good doing it. They go from oven to table beautifully, cook evenly, and stack neatly when not in use. Readers loved them for everything from lasagna to brownies to weeknight casseroles.

If your goal this year is “spend more time outside,” this set makes it incredibly easy to upgrade your patio, balcony, or backyard. It’s stylish, comfortable, and compact enough for smaller spaces while still feeling like a real seating area, not an afterthought. Add a throw blanket or tray of drinks, and suddenly your outdoor space becomes the place everyone wants to hang.
