Looking to add a pop of color to your home this summer? Markatos said she recommends Target's Ellie Bistro Dining Chair (Set of 2) from Ace Bayou. The classic chairs are made of steel and feature 16-inch by 16-inch seats. Plus, you can easily stack and store the chairs when needed.
"These chairs are a modern nod to a Thonet bistro chair and the classic shape has been made fresh with a beautiful blue," said Markatos. "These chairs would be great in a sweet little kitchen or around the table in a playroom."

Sitting on the floor isn't always comfortable, even with the addition of a rug. That's why Markatos said she recommends this stylish floor pillow that hails from Target's colorful Opalhouse collection.
The pillow comes in eight different colors though some are out of stock. Markatos said she personally recommends the orange version of the pouf.
"Poufs are a great accent to add to almost any room but we picture this one looking perfect in [a] closet space for a pop of color," Markatos explained. She said it's also a great piece to tuck into the corner of a small room because you can sit on it as you put your shoes on.
Markatos said she suggests ditching a traditional mirror for this uniquely shaped Uttermost Migiana one. The mirror has a nickel-plated finish and the glass features a beveled edge to freshen up your wall space.
"This shield shape adds some interest to an entry console or in a powder bath," said Markatos. "It's a funky enough shape to spice things up but transitional enough to pair with most pieces."
