Best for Furniture: Albany Park

Raise your hand if you've ever had to navigate a too-large sofa up a too-small stairwell. Husband-and-wife duo Darryl and Jessica Sharpton have been there and decided to launch online furniture brand Albany Park after finding traditional furniture stores a hassle. While Albany Park has a limited selection of seating styles, you can customize each piece with different fabrics and leg styles. Don't miss the Ekáàbò Collection that features colorful African-inspired prints with an urban twist.

Best for Paint: Clare

In 2018, interior designer Nicole Gibbons launched a paint startup, Clare. The company offers a selection of 61 designer-curated colors, and rather than paper paint swatches, Clare sends repositionable adhesive swatches for free so you can test the color in several spots so you can see how the light hits it or how it looks next to different furniture. If you're not sure which color is right for your space, Clare's Color Genius quiz can help you find the perfect hue. Along with cans of its self-priming paint, Clare also carries paint supplies, like brushes and pans.

Best for Blankets: Goodee

Twin designers and entrepreneurs Byron and Dexter Peart founded online marketplace Goodee in 2017 to highlight products from artisans who are making "a positive social or environmental impact."
