I have been a freelance writer at BuzzFeed Shopping since 2025, covering everything from fashion must-haves and beauty staples to home decor gems worth adding straight to your cart.

1. A faux olive tree, because even the smallest of living room corners can look *ultra* interior-designed with some tall and elegant greenery. Sure, you could get the real deal, but who needs to struggle to keep a plant alive when fake looks this good? 🤷‍♀️

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love this tree! The leaves, branches, and vase all look nice! The vase also has a green mossy base! Great quality for a really reasonable price!" —Katie

Price: $52.99+ (originally $89.99+, available in four sizes)

2. A washable flatweave rug from Kelly Clarkson Home so you can define and carve out your seating zone. Top tip: go for as big a size as your space can take, as anchoring your sofas with a large rug can weirdly help a room feel bigger. This one has a faded finish, so you get a cool vintage feel, without having to scout endless flea markets.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This rug is gorgeous! It has a vintage look, but is so soft! Using it to add a pop of color to our neutral room." —Michelle 

Price: $31.99+ (available in eight sizes)

3. A solid wood side table for a cool, sculptural moment in your living room that will add bags of character — while taking up minimal real estate. It's crafted from an acacia tree stump, so the wood grain is ridiculously stunning.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Elegant rustic. This table has a small footprint but a big presence. It was the perfect piece for our small space between a loveseat and a chair. I love the natural wood!" —Glenda

Price: $126.99 (originally $154)

4. A metal bar cart you can fill with beautiful glassware and your favorite tipples for your very own mini cocktail station — mine's an espresso martini, please. 🍸 Not a drinker? Use it as a quirky display shelf for your books and other knickknacks. Its slim profile is ideal for not overwhelming a space. Love!

Wayfair

Promising review: "I’ve had so many guests think this is a vintage piece and they’re shocked to find out it’s Wayfair! It fits nicely in a small space in the dining room and looks beautiful loaded with matching barware and glassware. Absolutely love it." —Kelsey

Price: $84.99+ (originally $285.99; available in eight colors)

5. A Grecian-style vase, because filling your living room with textural, lived-in pieces that look like you hand-sourced them on far-flung travels is *perf* for bringing big impact to a compact space. (Nobody needs to know it took literally two seconds to add to cart.)

Wayfair

Promising review: "Wow! I love this vase! It’s large and very well made. It’s the center piece in my living room now. Many compliments on it." —Camelot

Price: $23.99+ (originally $41.99+; available in two sizes and five colors)

6. A pair of arched wall candle holders for adding a 3D, architectural element to a boring wall — without taking up precious surface or floor space. The natural wood tone goes like a dream with boho interiors, but it works in a minimalist, Scandi-kinda way too. 🌿

Wayfair

Promising review: “Super cute! hung up really easily. good quality.” —Karryn

Price: $88.99+ (originally $99.99+; available in four colors)

7. A gold-toned rechargeable wall sconce because wall lighting is a godsend in a smaller home — especially when there's no spendy hardwiring required! Create a moody vignette by mounting it above a side table and an accent chair for a cute little reading nook, or buy a pair to flank a piece of artwork.

Wayfair

Price: $77.99 (originally $86.99)

8. A pair of thermal blackout curtains because no matter the size of your room, your window absolutely needs a floor-sweeping, dramatic statement to take it from "OK" to "omg!!" The faux linen finish is SUCH a vibe — no one will even guess these aren't the real thing.

Wayfair

Promising review: “Very nice weight. Love the texture and room-darkening effects of these curtains. I’ve always been happy with the curtains I’ve purchased from Wayfair. There are also many ways you can hang them, and I’m choosing just to put them on the rod on the tabs behind the curtain.” —Sheri

Price: $26.99+ (available in nine sizes and 12 colors)

9. A swivel accent chair by Orren Ellis if you're looking for something super-modern with a small footprint — and the ability to make a *really* make a big design impact. It comes in both bouclé and rayon finishes, with a dreamy spectrum of jewel tones to choose from. Hubba hubba.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Perfect for a small space or bedroom, I love since I have an open concept room that the chairs swivel and they compliment any style of living spaces." —Alfreda

Price: $239.99+ (originally $399.99; available in 10 colors)

10. A narrow bookcase that comes in classic wood tones as well as colorful finishes, so you don't need to faff around with paint. This is perfect for making the most of underutilized space and proves you don't need expensive built-ins to get a high-end look.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love it! Fit perfectly in a small and narrow space. Not hard to assemble either." —Candace

Price: $69.99+ (originally $87.99+; available separately or as a pair, and in seven colors)

11. A cute little floral tapestry crafted in Italy, so you can make your walls feel like they're in a grand, sun-drenched villa... rather than your 450-square-foot apartment. Bellissima!

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love it. A few strands to cut on sides but easily trimmed. Love the colors!" —Barbara

Price: $22.99 (originally $37)

12. Or a tall pair of framed abstract black and beige prints, because going vertical with your art is a genius way to draw the eye up and make a room feel bigger. I literally can't get over how high-end and curated these mid-century-esque guys look.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Really high quality materials and assembly. While the canvas doesn’t have texture from brush strokes, the finish is clean and crisp. Looks great over the platform adjacent to our staircase." —Devon

Price: $296.99+ (available in two frame colors)

13. A circular coffee table so you can introduce softness and curves to a boxy space — a must for making your living room look thoughtfully designed. The legs fold flat, and the tray can be lifted off, so it's easily stashed away if you need to free up floor space (hello, living room dance floor).

Wayfair

Promising review: "Great table design. Perfectly folds up and out of the way when we need the pullout sleeper sofa. It is sturdy and appears well-made. The mirrored tray top is hefty enough that it sits firmly on the base and is secured by a magnet on the top of each table's legs. Nice addition that doesn’t seem like an afterthought for the coffee table. Perfect for our small apartment. Nice gold burnished color." —Dana

Price: $145.99+ (available in one base color and six tabletop colors)

14. A five-tier storage cabinet if you're running out of space to store those odds and ends, and need to sneak a practical solution into your home that *still* looks beautiful. It's designed to fit 20 pairs of shoes, so it's ideal for dealing with overspill from your closet — or just stashing away those “where does this even go?” items in one place.

Wayfair

Promising review: “Gorgeous discreet shoe cabinet that appears to be a regular stylish decorative cabinet. I love it so much!” —Jessica

Price: $166.99+ (available in five finishes)

15. A chic, mid-century style 4-in-1 coffee table that's the ultimate space-saver if your living room is on the small side. The hidden compartments inside give you loads of storage space, while the lift-top means that when fully extended, it can be used as a dining area for up to six people. Mind. Blown.

Wayfair

Promising review: “This table is awesome, I mean for the price it’s just lovely and functional 100 I love that it opens up to a bigger table, for boardgames and eating especially. And the color of the table is accurate” —Iryna

Price: $235.99+ (originally $499.99; available in two colors)

16. A timeless stackable accent stool because when space is at a pinch, you can't go wrong with having a few of these classic pieces on hand for extra seating, footrests — or even to use as casual side tables with a few books on top.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Very nice looking stool! It feels comfy and sturdy. Has a classic look. Very easy to assemble by myself." —Joshua

Price: $139 (originally $158.40) 

17. A kitchen island with stools for making the most of that awkward empty space in the middle of the room — or creating a visual divide in a studio apartment. Not only will you gain extra prep space, but there's heaps of storage too, thanks to a cabinet, drawers, and an open side compartment. Talk about a hardworking piece of furniture!

Wayfair

Promising review: “This item is great for our small kitchen in our apartment! it’s functional and gives us more storage space for our dishes. was very easy to put together as well!” —Robin

Price: $266.99 

18. An adjustable-width closet organizer, because getting dressed in the morning is infinitely easier when the interior of your closet is organized like a designer store. All the sections can be cut down to size, so it's *perfect* for maximizing storage and getting the most out of your space.

Wayfair, Natalya / Wayfair

Promising review: "Such an easy fabulous way to get the maximum amount of space from a small closet. Best decision. Really happy!" —Lynn

Price: $289.99 

19. An over-the-toilet storage cabinet because your tiny bathroom just needs to work smarter, not harder. It's giving quaint country cottage vibes, plus I love that it has a shelf for a cute candle and florals-in-a-vase styling moment. Vertical storage for the win, people!

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love it. Exactly what i was looking for. I wanted a taller cabinet to maximize my space because i have a small bathroom. The knobs step up the look of it." —Wendy

Price: $102.99 (originally $144.99)

20. A mail holder with key hooks for carving out an 'entryway' in even the tiniest of spaces. It's sleek, it's organized and you just *know* that shelf is gonna double up as a decor moment.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This shelf is perfect for our small entry way, clears all the clutter and looks great." —Sarianne

Price: $30.99(originally $49.99; available in two colors)

21. A gilded mirror for adding grandeur and opulence to a space that needs to do a lot... with a little. The antiqued, gold finish is giving "I sourced this from a Parisian flea market" energy, which I'm SO here for.

Wayfair

Promising reviews: "I leaned this on a buffet in my dining room And it totally elevates the space. Couldn’t be happier." —Robin

Price: $84.99+ (originally $125.09+; available in six sizes and six finishes)

22. A dining table and storage sideboard in one that is actually *blowing* my mind to see how far multifunctional furniture has come. You know how when the folded-up version is usually pretty clockable and looks a bit rubbish? Well, not with this beauty. It's genuinely chic in both setups!

Wayfair

Price: $420+ (originally $445+; available in two colors)

23. A wall-mounted, folding desk so you can WFH in your not-exactly-palatial space and then tuck it out of the way when it gets to 5pm — because who needs to see a constant reminder of the 'office' anyway?! Once again, this bad boy looks just as good when it's in its folded position, so it gets interior design points all round.

Wayfair

Promising review: "I’M SO HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE OH MY GOD exactly what I needed for my small space! Very spacious and sturdy! Love love love!" —Anonymous

Price: $104.99+ (originally $169.99; available in two colors)

24. Or a foldable desk made from bamboo if you want to add some wooden pieces to your space — always a great way to inject some warmth and character. The slim profile can even tuck behind a door or slide into a closet if you only need it out some of the time.

Wayfair

Price: $124.99+ (originally $148.99; available in two colors)

25. A mid-century style loveseat that proves good things really do come in small packages. Clean lines, twin bolster pillows and a choice of fabrics and colorways give this *just* as much impact as any big sofa.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love this coach it’s perfect size for our smaller living room. Great quality." —Vicky

Price: $259.99+ (originally $499; available in two sizes and nine colors)

26. A narrow console table, because practical furniture totally deserves to look beautiful too. Elegant curves, sliding tambour doors, a lower shelf for styling... I mean, puh-LEASE, this is small space perfection!

Wayfair

Promising review: "I eyed this piece for a while before pulling the trigger. So happy I did! It’s the perfect console for my tv and works great in small spaces. ❤️" —Jimmy

Price: $124.99+ (originally $138.99+; available in three colors)

27. A pair of wooden nightstands so you can add some high-end, luxury hotel vibes to your bedroom, stat. At just over 18 inches wide each, they have a pretty petite footprint but give you some seriously handy storage for all those bedside bits and bobs.

Wayfair

Promising review: "I love it. These nights stands look like expensive furniture. Great quality. 1010. Functional design." —Alena

Price: $147.99+ (originally $169.99+; available in four colors)

28. A compact vanity desk, because every skincare-and-makeup girlie needs a place to actually sit and get ready — and no, the edge of the bed does NOT count. Made from bamboo, this one looks ultra-chic, while packing in loads of storage.

Wayfair

Price: $179.99 (originally $300)

29. A queen size murphy bed if having a sleeping situation for guests is an absolute non-negotiable in your studio or small apartment — but you need floor space for, like, you know: living. Just add a foldable mattress (not included) and voilà: instant guest room when you need it, and (what looks like) an elegant dresser when you don’t!

Wayfair

Promising review: "Perfect fit for a small loft area! Loving it for when guests come to visit!" —Anonymous

Price: $370 (originally $420)
