For the first time ever, Etsy is running a global award program: The Etsy Design Awards. There are 160 global finalists that fall into one of the following five categories for #TheEtsies: Inventive Decor, Signature Style, Festive Celebrations, Earth-Friendly, and Creative Collaborations. We’ve done round-ups on favorite toddler products, but this is our first Etsy round-up.
Here are our top picks from #TheEtsies!
My Picks:
My top 5 choices represent items that inspire me to buy from Etsy or make myself.
Calendar Wallplanner from the shop WiLaNo (Inventive Decor Category)
Custom Painted Photo Backdrop by the shop thesmallcreative
Monstera Leaf Wood Pegboard Organizer by the shop littleanana
I think this makes a perfect jewelry organizer, although I think I’d rather have the larger version (it’s almost twice as big!). I love the versatility of the moveable pegs. The dinosaur pegboard would also be a great addition to a child’s space. My daughter would love it in her room. Plus, I’m game for anything that will encourage my kid to clean!
Paper Cut Custom Portrait by the shop PurplePaperPeople
Large Modern Dollhouse “The Milky-house” by the shop MilkyWood
Well, we already made a dollhouse for our daughter with our CNC machine. But, if we hadn’t already done this ourselves I would totally buy this modern dollhouse.
Adam chose his ideas independently of me, and all his picks were different except one. He also picked the dollhouse! I chatted with him for his reasoning behind his picks. This is what he had to share:
Adam’s Picks:
My top choices are designs I appreciate in terms of their form, function, and material choices.
ECOWOOD Table Lamp by shop TedzukuriAtelier
This lamp uses an interesting recycled veneer from a banana’s plant trunk.
Custom House Portrait by shop yeiou
The use of white paper for a 3d representation of your home results in a minimalist, elegant design. This would make a great anniversary gift for parents.
Designer Cat House by PetsandPods
I feel like my cats would crawl into this immediately. It’s a cat bed you don’t mind having in a prominent location in your house.
Succulent Wedding Ring Holder by shop Waen
This ring dish stands on its own as decor, with or without a ring.
Diamond shape engagement ring box by Woodstorming
Woodworking is one of my hobbies, and I like the movement of the lid on this uniquely shaped ring box.
From design inspiration to must-haves for your home, this round-up features a variety of designs. These top Etsy design awards picks for this year are based on our current tastes, which are ever-changing.
So, what is your favorite ETSY nominee for #TheEtsies and why?
