www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super easy assembly, perfect size, does come with a bulb (huge plus), nice length for the cord, and a convenient on-and-off switch on the cord. Will buy more and def recommend! It is so much more affordable than other brands that sell the same style. The dimensions make it seem small, but honestly ,it’s pretty big and brightens the room with a warm yellow glow." —Sam

Get it from Amazon for $23.71 (available in various styles and sizes).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget. I was worried at first because there weren’t any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size, so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things I’ve gotten from Amazon. It’s beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics." —McKinlee Mayer

Get it from Amazon for $90.22+ (available in four sizes and five finishes).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So beautiful and so happy I found this sconce! I have it hanging above a picture. The light is not overly bright, more like a nightlight. But that’s exactly what I wanted it for, more decorative. So many compliments on it. Simply beautiful, wireless, and easy to hang up." —Mac

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in nine styles and individually or in pairs).

4. A ready-made gallery wall set with eight frames and matching prints because if you're anything like me, you LOVE the look but get super anxious thinking about curating one on your own.

The set comes with two frames and art in 12"x16", 8"x12", 8"x10", and 6"x8" sizes.

Promising review: "These photos are so nice and great quality for the price. My family room needed a little changing, and these photos were awesome! I also love that the seller provides a sheet of different ways to hang the photos." —Critic

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two sizes and six styles).

5. A set of two nesting drum tables that look like they'd be featured in one of Architectural Digest's celeb home tours. While they're pretty low-profile as is, if you ever need to free up additional space you can tuck them inside of one another like a Russian nesting doll. 🪆 

Amazon

Promising review: "Stylish, affordable, and a perfect upgrade for my space. Highly recommended." —Priya

Get it from Amazon for $159.76 (available in 26 colors).

The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation your self. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

PS: If you're going for an antique look but don't have the budget to buy vintage, I saw a TikToker DIY these with some gold Rub 'n Buff metallic finish and an old makeup brush, and it looked truly incredible!

Promising review: "For the price, you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over, and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

Get it from Amazon for $23.59+ (available in three colors).

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This was the first purchase of my new apartment and totally the best purchase. I looked up all the reviews and pictures before buying it, and I'm 100% satisfied with it.

Promising review: "Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! I did a lot of homework on finding the perfect curtains for our new home. I needed a lot of them, something pretty, full, and good insulation. It could get very expensive. These were more than I could have wanted, and at such a great price...I ended up getting the longer ones because they cost less (I needed 12 panels). As a result of longer ones, they are fuller on the bottom, look so lovely, and I get all the compliments. My mom is a designer, and I grew up being particular about fabric and how things are made. These are well-constructed and have gorgeous lining, lots of detail put into these, thank you!!" —Mrs

11. A contemporary sling chair you can add to your primary bedroom or even use in place of a couch if you have a teensy tiny living room.

Amazon

Promising review: "Fabric is soft and very nice. Pillows have funky stuffing and definitely require a good fluffing, but this chair is certainly a comp for a higher-end one that costs well over $1,000. So it's still worth it in the end! They are very sturdy and took me almost an hour each to put together. I have a set of two." —Victoria

Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available individually or in a set of two and in seven colors)

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this throw!!! I love everything about it!! This is the second one I have bought and, to be honest, it will not be the last!! I love the color and I love how warm and comfortable it is without being overly warm. It washes and dries wonderfully. I love that it is made of 100% cotton." —mona & lauren

Get it from Amazon for $22.89+(available in four styles and eight colors).

Get a set of two covers from Amazon for$12.97+ (available in 7 sizes and 14 colors).

15. A set of solid ash wishbone chairs that look a hell of a lot like way more expensive options — but for a fraction of the cost. Perhaps the best part is that they come fully assembled, so you don't have to spend even one second sweating or cursing as you get your dining area together. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Perfect chairs for my round dining table. The color is exactly as in the pics, natural wood and no lacquer, which I like. No assembly needed, and they were very carefully packaged and delivered. They are very light and so comfortable. Moves easily across the room. If I were in a bigger apartment, I would definitely purchase another set. So elegant!!!!" —Christina

Get it from Amazon for $319.99+ for two (available in four colors)

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this rug! I wanted a farmhouse look, so I ordered this rug for my dining area. I am pleased that it is softer than I imagined it would be. I thought it would be coarse and scratchy, but it's not! Love love love it! I got the 6-foot round rug, which will eventually sit under my new dining table. It has been down for two days now, and the rug has almost completely relaxed, too, which none of my other rugs have done so quickly." —Vicky Barboza

Get it from Amazon for $29.56+ (available in dozens of sizes and six colors).

17. A simple framed printyou can hang over the commode or balance on a windowsill in order to create a prettier focal point in your bathroom. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I didn’t think I’d ever say my bathroom is a cozy space, but this canvas gets me many compliments from guests! It is SUPER affordable and incredible quality. It really does look like a painting in person. The wood framing is very realistic. Highly recommend" —Sarah Gawronski

Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in 7 sizes and 36 designs). 

18. A candle-warming lamp if you're the type who avoids overhead lighting like the plague. If you place it in your kitchen, it'll help dissipate food smells, too, which is a major win! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've had the ugly plate-style candle warmers before and they don't even come close to this one. This one gives off the nicest glow, and the different styles are so pretty. I love that it has a timer feature, and I feel much safer having this instead of lit candles. This would make a great gift for anyone. I will definitely be buying more for other rooms." —Catherine Vorce

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This rug is more beautiful than I expected. Good quality, gorgeous pattern and colors. I was looking for something to help blend both warm and cool tones, and this rug did that beautifully." —Misty Eversmann

Get it from Amazon for $39+ (available in dozens of sizes and five colors).

21. Or a faux cowhide rug with playful flecks of gold that catch the light wherever it's put. Just want to emphasize again that this is a *faux* option, so it doesn't smell, doesn't shed, and — most importantly — doesn't harm any adorable cows named Bessie or Buttercup!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have owned huge, real hides in the past and paid $500 to $700. I ordered this, hoping it would be cute, but worried a bit that it would look cheap. Well, it is Amazon, so I knew I could return it and made the leap. SOOOOOO HAPPY I did! It looks real, and the gold adds such whimsy! Looks AWESOME! My home is mid-century modern with gorgeous high-end pieces and art. This lovely gem is on my tile floor and adds such warmth and joy. When the light comes through the windows and lights up the gold, I cannot help but smile! Amazing and fun! LOVE!!!!! Would ABSOLUTELY purchase over and over and over! Perfection!" —Frog Hop

Get it from Amazon for $49+ (available in three sizes and colors). 

22. A modern waterfall bench if you're purposely looking for options that lack storage so your room can't collect clutter.  

Amazon

Promising review: "I was nervous buying this, but it’s perfect! Perfect height, feels so soft, and it's durable! Love that it comes as one piece in a box rather than having to put it together! I also like the height of it. Not super tall, but not awkwardly low either." —Mercedes McKay 

Get it from Amazon for $207.50.

23. A lightweight, easy-to-install plastic ceiling medallion that will make you feel like you live in a French chateau and not a postage-stamp-sized apartment where your kitchen, living room, and bedroom are all one and the same.

www.amazon.com

The lightweight medallions can be cut, drilled, glued, or screwed to fit your space. Many reviewers note that they attached the medallion with double-sided tape before installing their light fixture which is what ultimately holds it in place.

Promising review: "This is amazing. It looks SO beautiful in my dining room. It's lightweight and easily held up by the light fixture we chose but could be stuck on with double-sided tape if you wanted. I love this. It adds so much character! I found others in big-name hardware stores for around $50+... this was a great price and super quick shipping! Better than I imagined... would order again for SURE!! It's perfection!!! We get so many compliments on it!" —Jade Frost

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 50 finishes).

24. A velvet ottoman with a tassel rope fringe you won't be able to resist running your fingers (or toes, tbh) through. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Omg! I love this ottoman, beautiful. It's the perfect match for my sofa and chair. I've been looking for months to try to find something to match, so I took a chance on this one. PERFECT!!!! I couldn't be happier." —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $77.99+ (available in 14 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in seven colors).

"I love, love, love this pampas! I was skeptical when I first bought them because I figured nice-looking pampas for this price would be a complete sham. I was proven wrong because they look/feel amazing. Not one person comes over without saying something about these!" —Talhia R.

Get three large stems from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

A La Maison Ceilings is a small biz that sells all sorts of moldings, ceiling medallions, and ceiling tiles. 

Promising review: "If you’re even considering doing it, JUST DO IT!! I can’t even begin to tell you how easy this was, and the end result is mind-blowing! When people come over (we’re remodeling our newly purchased home, built in 1865), their jaws drop. When you actually get them on the ceiling and look at your finished product, you’d never guess it’s Styrofoam. My advice (from watching hours of YouTube videos and doing research) is to find the center of the ceiling and work your way out. It took us two hours to do a fairly large space. We definitely overestimated how many it would take, but I’m glad we had extra on hand in case we messed one up. Also — make sure your blade is SHARP!" —Steven

Get it from Amazon for $22.96+ (available in packs of 8, 48, 96, 144 and in eight colors).

29. A faux book display that actually hides cords and cables in its hollow interior. If your router is ruining the aesthetic of your bookshelf or media stand, this is the solution!

Amazon Handmade

Not every display will have the exact books shown above but if you want to check out the titles ahead of time, select 'YES, preview books' when checking out and enable Amazon notifications so the seller can send you a pic!

Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one, and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

Get it from Amazon for $29.

30. A fancy new switch plate cover cause if you live in a rental like me, chances are your existing ones are covered in what TikTok likes to call the "landlord special" — approx. 46 coats of chipping paint.

Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "Buy this! Don’t hesitate! I bought multiple styles from this seller for different rooms of my house. I’m obsessed and get so many compliments on these light switches. They add such character to my home and they have such easy installation." —Becca

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in 12 plate sizes/styles and seven finishes). 

31. A multi-globe floor lamp if you have an empty corner that could not only use a little bit of light, but some mid-century modern-inspired flair. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After seeing an orb lamp at West Elm, I went looking for one that wasn't $500. This lamp is definitely a shiny, brassy gold and not a satin, champagne-color gold, but I actually love the color! My new house has a much more vintage, Art Deco vibe than my last place, and I think it fits right in with that. The milky orbs are beautiful and make the light nice and warm. It is pretty bright, but that works for me. I have it in a corner of my office that I don’t look directly at very often, and think it will be the perfect alternative to overhead lights." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $86.49.

32. A faux leather tissue box cover guaranteed to make your Kleenex a work of art instead of an eyesore.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This tissue box holder is lovely, it looks and feels like leather, but if you get a stain on it, it cleans up beautifully. I cannot believe a tissue box can make a statement, but everyone who has seen it or used it says it is very unique and such a smart design." —saf

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 13 colors). 

33. A beautiful bath mat that'll match all of your beloved Persian rugs. You may have had to painstakingly source the latter from vintage emporiums and Facebook Marketplace, but this baby will ship straight to your door in two days.  

Amazon

Promising review: "Super soft and cushy, the colors are great and it is super easy to clean. About once a week, I just throw it in the washer. I've had it for a couple of months now and it still holds up!" —Storm Pierre

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors). 

34. A decorative fruit bowl or catchall dish if your style could best be described as "looks like Joanna Gaines picked it out."

Amazon

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for a friend. The packaging was very cute and well secured to prevent the product from breaking. I love artsy, minimalist, yet cute house items. So this bowl was the perfect choice for an entryway keys, wallet, etc holder. Will definitely buy one again for myself!" —evelinxt

Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in two colors). 

35. A floral wall mural that'll make you feel like you're waking up in a chic Parisian apartment. Brb, gonna go watch Amélie again and dream of being in Montmartre.

Amazon

Promising review: "Absolutely stunning and everything I wanted, looks way better and more vivid IRL. Took two of us to install and three-ish hours with breaks. Took the advice of previous reviewers and bought premixed paste. Definitely don't go easy on the paste, you need enough on the wall to make it easier to adjust and align. Don't worry too much about the bubbles, once it dries down, it all adheres nicely. The quality of this paper is thick and not sheer at all. For the price, this is definitely worth it and then some. I would have paid much more for this had I seen it in person. You won't regret it: )" —Almond Joy

Get it from Amazon for $82. 

36. And some peel-and-stick stair riser decals if you're a beginner DIY king/queen, so sanding/refinishing wood or installing actual tiles is still a bit outside of your skill set.
