  • Vibrant colors elevate interiors
  • Cohesive, minimalist scandinavian design

Hay earns strong reviews for design-forward home goods that work well, with standout pieces like Colour Crates, Palissade outdoor furniture, Woody shelving, and lighting praised for durable build, clever functionality, and vibrant palettes. Reviews also flag inconsistencies—textiles and some finishes scuff or pull, occasional form-over-function missteps (e.g., watering can flow, limited neck support on Mags), and mixed perceptions of value—making Hay ideal for those prioritizing aesthetics and modular organization over uniform, across-category durability.

  • Have a few pieces from Hay. Simple and well made, really love all the color options.

  • Love the stackable crates amongst other colorful home accessories.

  • Discovered Hay while living in Denmark, and I've been obsessed ever since!

  • I love the look and feel of the Hay products I've tried, including: - insulated bottles, which both look cool and keep my liquids warm and/or cold, depending - cardboard storage boxes, which come as a flatpack and are easily put together - small metal geometric trinket trays - brightly colored metal tins, which we use in the kitchen The colors are rich and deep and all items seem very well-made.

  • HAY is like if IKEA were actually cute, innovative, and colorful, and of course more expensive. I have HAY crates all over my house, their blue metal catch-all dish, a lamp, and a coat hook system. They're adorable, fun, whimsical, and give your home a pop of color for a (sometimes) good price. I'd say the quality is pretty good, depending on the product you buy and how you use it. They'll always be a staple in my design choices.

  • I love this brand’s Danish aesthetic. I’ve used their colorful tins, crates (in multitudes) glass containers, and bright yellow mugs. It’s high quality and you can also find them at Design Within Reach outlets for a more affordable option!

  • Curating a unique look by combining pieces from various Hay collections is a breeze, thanks to their flawless coordination.

  • HAY is such a beautiful brand who make the loveliest homewares. Over the past year I've added some HAY furniture to our house and they are my favourite pieces. They feel so luxurious, well designed and contemporary. The outdoor Green Palissade range is so beautiful and it makes me want to enjoy our outdoor area more. The neon light tube is so vibrant and adds the best ambient light and colour to our space. This is also a great brand for gifting.

  • Really affordable and fun home decor! The quality can be up or down but hard to complain for the price

  • Hay is the best thing to happen to tiny NYC apartments! The stackable crates are stylish and incredibly versatile. Just found out you can add wheels (??!) I use the large crates to store out of season items, mediums to store socks etc, and smalls to store bathroom products. Such a good alt to clunky plastic dorm-esque tubs and drawers!

    Contemporary, and still fun. I've had the PC Task Double Arm Table Lamp Soft Black on my bedside for two years and I think I'll never get tired of it. No switches or buttons! Just a light tap on the top to turn light on/off.

  • I have used their colour storage containers and they are very pretty. I also enjoy that these are sold at all of my favourite art galleries - it is a great indication of how pretty and colourful their products are.

    The price is a bit expensive for tools which function the same way as many other tools - but the design is what you're paying for I guess.

  • The addition of chopsticks is a delightful detail that enhances the overall authenticity of the experience.

  • Hands down one of my favorite design company's. The products are qualitative and functional, but also beautiful. It's just good design. I'm a huge fan of the crates. I own multiple in different sizes and they have made storage much easier — and nicer. They make messy corners tidy again and help organizing. Will be buying more for sure. I visited their store in Copenhagen and it was one of the nicest places I've ever set foot. Very well designed, I have no better words.

  • Love the Hay crates as we all do! Not super expensive but good quality and gives your home a cool vibe. I use them to organize everything, I love the way they look!
