I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping contributor since 2022 and I love researching a little bit of everything while, as a mom, constantly looking for ways to solve parenting challenges, refresh corners of my home, and make time for style and self-care.

1. A rattan wall shelf where you can impress guests with souvenirs from your favorite world travels (even if those travels are just to your favorite fancy candle store).

Wayfair

Promising review: "Very cute shelf! Goes great in my bathroom, but I’m considering buying another for a different room. Great for a boho beachy vibe. Well made and sturdy, but doesn’t weigh much, so it’s easy to hang." —Jennie

Price: $111.99 (originally $189)

2. An LED corner floor lamp for those with a futuristic, minimalist decorating style. Put this barely-there light in any corner for a big impact without taking up much coveted floor space.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Fantastic, sleek, and modern contemporary design. It has a small footprint using minimal space, but gives off a massive amount of light. Highly recommend this product. It arrived on time and was simple to put together. Also, the foot switch to turn on and off is extremely convenient." —Ms. Lady

Price: $71.99+ (available in four finishes, with or without adjustable light temperature, and with or without a remote)

3. A bar cart for those post-WFH happy hours. The mirrored shelves have enough room for your favorite glassware to be paired with your favorite bottle(s) of red.

Leasing Office / Wayfair

Promising review: "I absolutely love this bar cart! I was not sure whether to purchase it after reading some of the reviews. Some people said it was very difficult to put together, but it was honestly super easy! I was intimidated before I opened the box, but once I looked at the instructions, it was really easy. The bar cart is of great quality and gorgeous! I easily recommend this purchase." —Leasing Office

Price: $74.99+ (originally $134.99; available in eight colors)

4. Or if space is a concern, a countertop wine rack that's still a stylish way to showcase all the wine you've picked up on your travels. (Even if those travels have only led to your local Trader Joe's...)

Wayfair

Promising review: "One of my favorite purchases. I love how sturdy it is. I do not have to worry about it falling over. It sits on the corner of my kitchen counter, and everyone who sees it comments on how nice it is. The real wood has so many unique characteristics and markings to look at. It is truly a conversation piece and holds my wines nicely too." —Pamela

Price: $69.99+ (originally $158; available in six- or eight-bottle size)

5. A tripod floor lamp that should be a fixture in every corner of your house. You can't go wrong with this classic shape to add soft, filtered light to your next hang.

IP / Wayfair

Promising review: "Sturdy, great quality, minimalistic floor lamp. It goes great with my Scandinavian-style home. Creates a good amount of light in the room. Definitely recommend." —IP

Price: $149

6. A kitchen cart on wheels that can give you more counter space to prep your favorite recipe or show off your stack of cookbooks (that — okay — maybe you've never even cracked open).

Alisa / Wayfair

Promising review: "Really happy with this! It’s a great size to extend storage or free my counters from some clutter, and it fits nicely as an island in the middle of my kitchen, too. Assembly was pretty easy. Some of the screws were tough to line up at first, but once I got going, it came together in about 30 minutes. Great price too!" —Dorothy

Price: $152.99

7. A blackout curtain for the night owl who doesn't want to wake up with the sun, or anyone who seeks to achieve movie-theatre-level darkness for at-home movie nights. Plus, with more than a dozen colors to choose from, these can easily fit into any decor. 

Wayfair

Promising review: "Got these as a request from my husband for a better night’s sleep. These are definitely blackout, especially in the evening. The fabric is so soft, and the length was perfect. Don’t forget, these are singles, so purchase what you need for your space. I only needed three, and I'm so happy with them. Lastly, delivery was early and on point. Thanks, WAYFAIR!" —Reina

Price: $10.99+ for one panel (originally $25.99+; available in 6 sizes and 16 colors)

8. An irregular-shaped wall mirror, because your bathroom deserves an update from those overdone squares. Or maybe your living room could use some more natural, fluid reflection.

Donald / Wayfair

Promising review: "It’s so beautiful! Nice gold tone, perfect size, easy to install, so elegant." —Araceli

Price: $72.99+ (available in four sizes and two finishes)

9. A set of white marble tiles for some practical DIY magic to make your kitchen backsplash magazine-worthy. These modern hexagon tiles will add an easy-to-clean background to your favorite decor, dishes, and more.

Wayfair

Promising review: “This tile is gorgeous! It looks so glam and high-end in a subtle way. Exactly what we were looking for.” —Rick

Price: $15.39 per square foot

10. Or if your floors need an update, this peel-and-stick vinyl floor tile is an easy DIY upgrade. Perfect for homeowners on a budget or renters who want to leave no trace of their changes behind.

Wayfair

Promising review: "These were SO easy to use, and my kitchen floors look brand new! This is great for anyone that wants to upgrade on a budget. No edges are coming up, and it really brightened up my space. 10/10" —Joseph

Price: $11.90 for a box of tiles to cover 10 square feet

11. A faux olive tree for when you want your space to feel alive, but you don't have the best track record with, well, keeping plants alive.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This is a beautiful tree, it is the perfect height, and was easily put together! It elevates any space and was perfect for the corner to give it something!" —Lea

Price: $56.99+ (originally $89.99+; available in four sizes)

12. A corner bookshelf so you can stuff every corner of your home with your overflowing TBRs or your favorite tchotchkes from your recent estate sale haul.

Arline / Wayfair

Promising review: "A beautiful piece, better than expected. Easy instructions to follow, and it feels like completing a project by hand. Very happy and satisfied with this purchase. Great item!!" —Seema

Price: $98.99+ (available in 10 colors)

13. A funky table lamp that earns compliments whether it's on or off. Add it to a side table or shelf, and suddenly the whole room has a lot more personality.

Ashley / Wayfair

Promising review: "Super cute statement lamp! The color is the same on the website, and it gives off good light! Great size for my nightstand." —Ashley

Price: $65.99+ (originally $165; available in eight colors)

14. A fleece throw blanket, because fall is around the corner and chill nights at home aren't the same without something to wrap yourself in. This comes in three sizes, so it can even be enough to share, but no judgment if you choose to be a human burrito all by yourself!

Wayfair

Promising review: "Very cozy! I ordered this blanket to match my new lounger (also from Wayfair). It is warm enough to keep you comfortable and light enough to fold at the end of the lounger. Washes easily. No pilling." —Gina

Price: $22.71+ (originally $99.97; available in four sizes and seven colors)

15. A set of three floating shelves that offer storage for small spaces without taking up any floor space. Nothing says "I'm an adult" like shelves attached to the wall.

Nick / Wayfair

Promising review: "Pretty easy to set up, and they look like real wood. They seem easy to clean. Exactly what I was looking for." —Nick

Price: $27.99+ (originally $42.99; available in six sizes and four finishes)

16. A sleek travertine book stand to give your favorite coffee table book the spotlight it deserves by turning any page into part of your décor. It's an easy way to show off the books you actually want guests to notice.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This is a very beautiful and substantial piece for the price. The texture is honed and pitted, and represents travertine beautifully. It also can handle a large coffee table book like the one I have online." —Jenn

Price: $91.99 (originally $241.50)

17. A throw pillow to give your seating an immediate makeover without having to actually buy new furniture. Reviewers rave about how soft it is, so don’t be surprised if your couch suddenly becomes everyone’s favorite spot to land.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This a gorgeous pillow! I was very pleased with the quality and the material is so soft. I would buy it again." —Joanna

Price: $59+ (available in six sizes, 11 colors, and two fill materials)

18. A glass mirrored tray for an intentional place for your odds and ends so they won't take over every surface. Your bathroom vanity, coffee table, or countertop will instantly look more put-together.

Nadine / Buzzfeed

Promising review: "This is a beautiful tray that I use for my perfumes, face creams, nail polishes, lotions, etc. I keep it on the dresser in my bedroom. It looks great and it's large enough to have enough room for several items." —Ellen

Price: $46.99+ (originally $57.99; available in four colors)

19. A piece of abstract art that can make a statement on its own, or be used to elevate a gallery wall of your favorite family vacation photos. The variety of colors makes it easy to find a match regardless of your decor.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This is a lovely piece. The size is perfect for my space. And while the colors are vibrant, it is soft on the eyes and blends in well in my home. Packaged well, easy to hang, and came promptly." —Sonya

Price: $49.99+ (available in four sizes and three frame finishes)

20. A trio of wall hooks, because even the most functional parts of your home can show you have a sense of humor. Use these to hang your guests' coats, bags, keys, and more, and you'll be answering "Where did you get these?" all night long. 

Wayfair

Promising review: “They are so cute. They can hold quite a bit of weight and are such space savers. My kids love them too!!” —Jocelyn

Price: $21.63+ (available in five colors)

21. A set ofbutton velvet throw pillows to add some curves to your sofa. These pillows are soft enough to lie your head upon but stylish enough to throw on any piece of furniture that could use a touch of color.

Wayfair

Promising review: “The perfect accent pillow! Soft and just the right pop of color. One problem, though, is choosing just one color. I will probably buy more in different colors eventually. Super buy!” —Patricia

Price: $31.99+ (available in 20 colors)

22. A shower curtain covered in a eucalyptus print that screams "fancy spa." Plus, it hides away all your shower clutter so your guests can't see all the half-empty shampoo and conditioner bottles.

Wayfair

It comes with 12 hooks.

Promising review: "Love it. Adds some color and character to the bathroom. Doesn’t have a plastic feel or look, lightweight enough to let the light through." —Kimberlee

Price: $19.99+ (available in four prints/styles)

23. A chandelier that adds all the right curves, no matter your decorating style. Make sure your chef skills get proper lighting for your next girls' night.

Morgan / Wayfair

Promising review: "Love it! The different length options are a nice feature; it’s bright, but the globes provide a soft, subtle accent. It does look different from all angles, but I think that makes it unique. I was hesitant with the installation reviews, but I hung it by myself in 1.5 hours while my toddler napped, and I don’t have electrical experience. Don’t be discouraged, it’s very doable and worth it!" —Morgan

Price: $156.99

24. A retro trash can so you don't waste any opportunity to add a little color to your kitchen. Plus, with a step-open feature, you can achieve a vintage look while enjoying modern convenience.

Kimerlan/Wayfair

Promising review: "This orange trash can is the cutest trash can I have ever owned. It's made very well yet light enough to move around. The color is adorable. The step-open feature is well-made and strong. Not flimsy. The lid falls down slowly....doesn't slam down. Buy one. You'll love it!" —Anonymous

Price: $46.99+ (originally $140; available in 12 colors and two sizes)

25. A coffee table to make your living room feel less rigid. This unique shape isn't just for show; reviewers also rave about the quality and love how sturdy it is.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Super easy to assemble! It's very sturdy and of nice quality. Great table to have around with a baby! We love it! We get tons of compliments on it!" —Natalie

Price: $370 (available in four colors)

26. An eternal loop sculpture you could pass off as a souvenir from your favorite Parisian art gallery. Add some interest to a bookshelf, or really put it on display in the center of the room.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Beautiful gold sculpture that adds a nice contrast to my dark shelving in the primary bedroom. The size and design would work in different rooms. Looks more expensive than it is. Highly recommend." —Maurlee

Price: $22.99 (originally $36.99)

27. A storage ottoman for a sleek triple-threat decor solution: Store your clutter, rest your coffee, and kick up your feet. This can easily transition into whatever your space needs it to be.

Wayfair

Promising review: "I recently added an ottoman to my living space, and it has proven to be an exceptional piece of furniture. The bouclé fabric gives it a luxurious and modern look, instantly elevating the room's aesthetic. However, its beauty is matched by its functionality. This ottoman is a true multitasker; it serves as a comfortable footrest, a convenient coffee table, and even offers ample storage space. The hidden storage compartment is perfect for stashing away blankets, keeping the area tidy and clutter-free. The sturdy tabletop is ideal for holding drinks or snacks, making it a versatile addition to any gathering. Highly recommended!" —DJ

Price: $169.99+ (originally $399; available in 17 colors/fabrics)
