Few figures have influenced the modern American home quite like Martha Stewart. The founder of the first multi-channel lifestyle company, author of 99 (to date) books, and Emmy Award-winning television show host has solidified her place as the ultimate home guru – and in true Stewart style, no room is left out.
Over recent years, Stewart has lent her good name to a series of homeware collections – from Amazon's World of Martha collection to her partnership with POLYWOOD, which brings her unmistakable style outside.
Reaching more than 100 million devoted lifestyle enthusiasts, Martha Stewart's collections have already shaped thousands of homes, but in her empire, some curated pieces remain our favorite. Here are H&G's current top picks for each of her collections – selected for their beauty, versatility, and unwavering timelessness.
Martha Stewart Collection
The most significant of all, 'Martha Stewart's Collection' is the basis of almost every homeware branch or brand collaboration.
The anchor collection, available at Walmart, Macy's, and Amazon, is central to everything Stewart creates – from outdoor furniture to the best non-stick pans.
The true extent of the Martha Stewart Collection is hard to grasp, and stand-out products depend on the season. However, currently, we can't get enough of her curtains (yes, despite her not having curtains in her Bedford home, she's done a good job of designing some for ours). We also love her pillows, which bring a sense of comfort and freshness to every bedroom.
Hailing from Stewart's Lily Pond Coastal Window Collection, these curtains promise to filter sunlight for a light and airy look softly. We think they'd look particularly beautiful on a kitchen window alongside our favorite flowers or in a window of a breakfast room or coffee corner – the perfect morning coffee setting.
Purposely designed to fulfill our bedtime routine needs, this pillow is a combination of Tencel with Cotton Fabric that offers 'perfect moisture management.' It's soft to the skin, smooth to the touch, and luxurious in shine and flow. We'd say they're almost too good-looking to cover with a pillowcase (but the choice is up to you).
Lightweight, versatile, and effortlessly chic, these sheer curtains subtly filter the sun's rays to create an airy, spacious room that celebrates natural light. We can use these curtains as a standalone window treatment or as part of a layered set-up (depending on whether we want a minimalist space or something that feels even more dramatic).
The World of Martha
A branch of the wider Martha Stewart Collection, World of Martha, is available exclusively on Amazon. 'The most beautiful things are simple and functional but not always easy to find,' the guru shared when launching the branch in February 2023. 'Now you can shop all the simply beautiful home essentials you need to elevate your living spaces at my curated Amazon store.'
Much like the wider collection, our favorites continue to change, but these three pieces always seem to have a permanent place in our carts.
This Dutch Oven is an asset to any colored countertop – but in true World of Martha style, its qualities are far beyond its aesthetic. The piece, constructed from cast iron construction, is designed to distribute and retain heat evenly. It's perfect for slow simmers, braising, stews, and casseroles, perfect for when fall comes around again.
The set comes in several colorways, but this white and blue combination is a timeless choice, making the art of tablescaping simple. The set includes four 11-inch dinner plates, four 8-inch dessert plates, and four 28oz bowls – perfect for intimate dinner parties (or larger affairs, if you take two sets).
This block print design (available in mint and gray tones and paired with white for a sleek look) is an eternal bedroom classic. The quilt and shams exhibit subtle vertical quilt stitching and have bound edges that offer a tailored look without a big investment. The pillow shams include an 'easy-to-use center overlap' that opens to secure the contents for longer.
Martha Stewart X Safavieh
For over a century, Safavieh has built a reputation as the finest curators, designers, and manufacturers of exquisite area rugs in the industry – so, naturally, it was Stewart's go-to. The collection, available on Amazon, often enjoys generous discounts, meaning we can bring some Stewart-approved style to our flooring for a surprisingly accessible price.
Handcrafted from pure wool, the intricate construction (and consequently long durability) of this rug ensures it will be a favorite for years ahead. We love the vibrant poppy pattern that will just the right amount of boldness to a neutral room.
As mentioned, Safavieh has crafted rugs of the highest quality for over 100 years, and this piece is an example of its ageless style. Crafted of wool, it will withstand foot traffic in even the busiest rooms (including the entryway or the center of our living room).
This refined machine-woven construction ensures easy care and is sold as a 'virtually non-shedding rug.' However, durability aside, its simple yet contemporary design is a stylish addition to any space, including an outdoor living room. It is the season, after all.
SleepComplete by Martha Stewart
The most recent of Martha Stewart's collections, the SleepComplete sees the designer partner with Ubique Group, an industry-leading merchandiser of furniture and décor. The 20-piece line, which launched in May this year, consists of innovative, feature-rich mattresses and an assortment of elegant, stylish bed frames. The most significant pieces are available on Amazon now.
A more restful slumber awaits with the luxurious style and innovative dual-action cooling technology of the SleepComplete premium mattress perfect for back and stomach sleepers; This is the brand's firmest option that offers the most support.
Softer than the firm option above but firmer than the brand's 'medium' mattress, this piece is ideal for side, back, and stomach sleepers. It's made from CertiPUR-US Certified cooling gel memory foam and comfort foam to provide contoured comfort and motion isolation (ideal for co-sleepers).
This premium green tea mattress is perfect for side, back, stomach, and combo sleepers and is softer than our medium-firm option. It has ventilated memory foam and cooling gel with highly resilient foam layers to aid with cooling and comfort – for a comfortable sleep around the calendar.
Martha Stewart X POLYWOOD
Named the Acadia Collection, Stewart's garden furniture range (made in collaboration with POLYWOOD) draws inspiration from her Skylands estate in Maine, a bucolic beauty built in the 1920s. The range signals a return to the traditional forms of Craftsman furniture, defined by strong vertical lines that lend a subtle sense of grandeur.
Available in a range of colors, POLYWOOD created this piece from their special lumber that's infinitely recyclable and sustainably made from recycled and reusable plastic. It's the perfect accent chair for our front porch or back patio – wherever the sunniest spot falls.
There are chaise lounges, and then there is this quintessential piece – designed to turn our yards into our own 'personal paradise.' It features an adjustable backrest for every way we want to rest, recline, and bathe for many more summers to come.
This farmhouse-style set includes two Acadia Dining armchairs and a 36" Round Dining Table, perfect for an intimate breakfast or dinner. The leg design allows for ample legroom and offers the opportunity for an umbrella to stay protected from the extreme sun rays.
