Young House Love Spring Collection on Joss & Main — Curated Favorites and a Special Giveaway
Last October we teamed up with Joss & Main to curate a selection of our favorite home decor items on their site, and it was a blast. They invited us back for a spring collection, and this time they agreed to an extra-special perk for readers — more on that below — so we were thrilled to say yes. (Side note: for years I thought the word was spelled “siked” until a friend kindly corrected me — some habits die hard.)
It feels a little funny to be called “curators” — perhaps we’re better described as Curators of Dog-Hair-Friendly Outfits and Coffee-Splattered Cushions — but we loved the chance to open up a tiny virtual shop for a short time. Over the next 60 hours the spring collection is live on Joss & Main, and we focused on assembling a variety of pieces at a range of price points, from budget-friendly accessories under $25 to statement furnishings, so there’s something for different budgets and tastes. A few of the items are things we actually own and use at home, like our cheerful yellow kitchen radio and the gray nailhead accent chair in the living room, and the rest are things we genuinely like and think deserve a little attention.
To make it easy to find the sale: if you’re not yet a Joss & Main member, you can request an instant invite through their site (it avoids the wait list). Once you’re a member, our Young House Love collection appears in their sale section. We tried to pick products that translate well into everyday life — practical pieces, small touches that lift a room, and a few fun splurges for when you’re feeling inspired.
What We Picked and Why
When curating, our goal was to balance style, utility, and price. You’ll find lighting options that add warmth without overwhelming a space, serving pieces that are both functional and pretty for open-shelf kitchens, and accent furniture that can anchor a room without breaking the bank. We aimed for versatility — pieces that can be repurposed as your tastes evolve, or that work well in a rental, a family home, or a compact city apartment.
Some selections are playful and bold while others are classic and neutral, so whether you’re refreshing a corner or tackling a whole room, hopefully there’s something to spark an idea. We also included a few accessories that are perfect for DIY tweaks — a quick coat of paint or a swapped hardware piece can turn an inexpensive find into something uniquely yours.
About Commissions and a Reader Giveaway
In the spirit of transparency: Joss & Main pays a modest commission to people who curate events on their site — it’s one of the ways we offset the costs of running the blog and producing projects (alongside other ventures like our column, book, and paint collection). Joss & Main also issues referral credits when a member refers a buyer. Instead of keeping those referral credits ourselves, we asked if they would let us pool them into a single gift account — and they agreed.
So rather than accepting those credits, we’re saving them up for a giveaway. Next Monday we’ll announce a big store-credit prize drawn from that pooled account and give one lucky reader a chance to shop the collection on us. We’ll share details on how to enter soon, so keep an eye out if you’d like to participate.
How to Use the Collection for Inspiration
Even if you don’t buy anything, we hope the collection inspires you. Look at how a lamp changes the scale of a side table, how a small tray concentrates clutter into something stylish, or how a textured pillow can add depth to a plain sofa. If an item catches your eye but feels out of reach, consider a DIY approach: thrift stores, spray paint, and updated hardware can turn budget finds into statement pieces.
Personally, I’ve been obsessed with lamps lately — apparently we don’t have enough surfaces in the house for all the lamps I want — and I’m collecting interesting serving dishes since the kitchen shelves are open now. John, meanwhile, has a surprising soft spot for accordion folders and a growing collection of houseplants. Different tastes, same enthusiasm.
Our Young House Love collection will be available for a limited time through Saturday morning. We had a lot of fun curating it and hope it gives you at least one idea to try — whether that’s a tiny refresh or a full room rethink. Stay tuned for the giveaway announcement next Monday, and happy decorating.
