The Most Joyful Finds at Ban.do’s Summer Sale
This summer, maximalism is in, baby, and we’re seeing the more-is-more aesthetic play out not only in our closets but in the kinds of decor pieces we choose to invite into our homes. After all, how you dress your space is a representation of who you are as a person… so why not be the brightest version of yourself possible? With Ban.do’s The Stars of Summer Sale, you can do just that: dolling up your abode with vases, coaster sets, recipe boxes, glassware, and other interior staples that are perfect representatives of multiple home trends this season. The best part? Everything included in the sale (we’re talking products you’ll instantly snap a pic of for your Instagram) is 25 percent off for a limited time.
“Dopamine dressing” experienced a few viral moments on TikTok in the past few years, competing with runway-generated trends to become one of the hottest ways of amping up personal style. The concept is simple: Wear bright clothing that makes you happy and speaks to what your personal style is, not anyone else’s or the latest trends. In essence, it’s the antithesis of quiet luxury and the push towards all things neutral. In the world of interior design, “dopamine dressing” has shape-shifted into “dopamine decor,” and thousands of content creators online are sharing ways they were able to turn their rooms from drab to dazzling by using more colors, patterns, and quirky objects that feel unique.
If you can’t seem to find a way into this latest-and-greatest home decor obsession, Ban.do will make it easy. The founded-in-2008 brand is all about optimism, after all, and creates products across categories like stationary, apparel, travel accessories, and candles that spark joy. We especially adore its home decor section, where everything is cutesy and never too serious: perfect for all the girlies who’d rather be drinking out of a mug illustrated with dill pickles than an off-white one with no character. “Buy the weird stuff,” an on-screen caption on one of Ban.do’s TikTok videos reads, showing off its apple planter that looks so true to life (fruit sticker and all) that it’s tempting to take a bite. We couldn’t agree more.
With the code HEATWAVE, you’ll be able to unlock all of the brand’s summertime bestsellers for less. There’s something for everyone, and all trend-forward shoppers will also be happy to know that a majority of the on-sale picks fit key trends for summer 2025. Whether it be the Giddy Up Vase that unlocks fond memories of your time at the “Cowboy Carter” tour and is cowboy core–coded to the max, the Butter Rug that takes the butter-yellow interior design fascination literally, or the Cherry Wine Stopper that puts a cherry on top of your love for food-themed summer decor, grabbing just one thing from Ban.do’s The Stars of Summer Sale will initiate a chain reaction of sorts: prompting you to smash the “add to cart” button over and over, while regretting absolutely nothing.
The sun is shining outside, our sartorial choices have been streamlined to only the airiest linen pants and summer sandals, and now the only thing left to do is to channel all this lightheartedness in a place you spend most of your time at (if that happens to be the office versus the home, there’s nothing wrong with grabbing three different Feel Better De-Stress Balls from Ban.do for those times when it could’ve been an email).
Ahead, our editor-picked home pieces to shop for 25 percent off during Ban.do’s summer sale. Just don’t forget the magic code at checkout, and watch as your home turns into a dreamscape.

Ban.do Giddy Up Vase
This ain’t Texas, but you can pretend: thanks to this hand-painted ceramic vase that takes your favorite footwear style and makes it something that can house a bouquet almost as bright as its own color palette. All those greens, yellows, reds, and pinks will shine in a more subdued room setting, and the precious creation just might inspire you to start taking line dancing lessons. Our advice? Buy the vase and take the lessons.

Ban.do Beach Please! Sardines Giant Towel
The Pinterest Predicts 2025 trend report said it best: The fisherman aesthetic is finally sea-ing the light of day, but in case you’re not into Fair Isle sweaters and the whole “nets as table decor” thing, we have just the solution for acing the trend but doing it your way. This terry cloth, sardine-printed towel measures 72 inches by 40 inches and is made for beach days, but it could also be used to infuse a bit of fishy flair into your bathroom. Sardines are trending right now in fashion, too, so you can’t go wrong with this Mediterranean-inspired must-have.

Libbey Vintage Juice Glasses, Set of 4
Staying true to the food themes dominating interiors right now (citrus fruits, cherries, and strawberries being chief among them), this set of four juice glasses will also be a trip down memory lane for those whose grandparents owned a seemingly endless supply of vintage glassware decked out in color-happy designs. Everything — from that gingham border to the detailed illustrations — feels like it was designed with your happiness in mind. So drink your juice and be merry, like it’s your only job.

Ban.do Tomato Plant Mister
“No tomatoes were harmed in the making of this plant mister,” Ban.do writes, and we’re grateful for the disclaimer because we could’ve been fooled. This summer, when life gives you tomatoes, don’t just make bruschetta: Buy a tomato-shaped plant mister and start growing your own. No matter if you’re a green warrior who’s never killed a houseplant, an aspiring gardener, or someone with a single pothos plant in their apartment, you’ll find many uses for (and squeeze much pleasure out of) this ceramic-and-plastic plant-saver with a chic, gilded misting handle.

Doiy Purple Glass Seashell Vase
She sells seashells by the seashore, and Ban.do sells perfect little seashell vases for adults who still love playing mermaids. This one’s ridged glass and gentle purple hue will signal to all houseguests who come through your door that you have great taste — and that, in your past life, you might’ve used a fork as a hair brush and had a best friend named Flounder.

A Shop of Things Butter Rug
This rug is here to butter you up every time your feet land on its soft surface. Ideal for the kitchen, we urge you to mix things up and find a home for it in a less obvious place: a bathroom floor, say, or by your front door in lieu of a welcome mat. It’s not enough to wear butter-yellow coordinates this season, after all. You need a rug that captures the creamy, golden indulgence of this household staple. (Size not to scale!)

Ban.do Cherry Wine Stopper
Let the good times flow and, once they’re over, cork the bottle with a wine stopper topped by a cherry. Sure, you don’t need this hosting accessory. But do you want it? We thought so. The stopper features a rubber ring for preventing accidental spills and is the kind of thing that works well as an add-on to a housewarming gift. Wine not included, unfortunately.

Egmont Toys Duck Lamp
Finally, a duck lamp. Because at some point, you’re going to look at your newly purchased Ban.do spoils and think: All that’s missing is a duck lamp. Obviously. This one takes harsh overhead lights out of the equation and instead basks your house in a muted, veiled glow. Made in Germany out of resin (and hand-painted, like most of the brand’s delights), this is a lamp you’ll be tempted to place on your dinner table, fireplace mantel, nightstand, or desk — reminded each time you gaze at it to just keep paddling on.
