I am a contributor who has been writing for the BuzzFeed Shopping team since 2021, covering just about everything: home goods, beauty, fashion, gift guides, practical life hacks, tech, travel, personal wellness, and big sales events.

1. A gold-tone floor lamp with a decorative S-shaped twist and plenty of ~posh~ vibes. Just what your living room needs!

Angelina/Wayfair

Promising reviews: "Much prettier in real life than in the picture. The hardest part of putting it together was getting the lampshade on evenly. Will be ordering a second one for another corner of the family room." —Sara

"Great lamp, beautiful gold!! If putting it in your living room, do a bright daylight light bulb." —Domonique

Price: $85.99 (originally $299)

2. A peel-and-stick wallpaper, because your walls needn't be boring! This leopard print is ~très chic~ but neutral enough in color that it won't be too much or too tacky.

Wayfair

Promising review: "OMG! Easy to install and my formal dining room looks amazing!" —Joni

Price: $32.99 per roll

3. A set of 10 cabinet pulls for an easy (and affordable) way to spruce up your kitchen — even if you rent! These are quite easy to install/swap out, but will make a huge difference in making the place look more modern.

Wayfair

Promising review: "I love these, they have looked amazing in every picture I've seen. They look amazing in person. I love them on my uppers and my drawers. I just hate them on the lower cabinets. They stick out pretty far, which in all other kitchens with countertops that have an inch or more of overhang wouldn't be an issue. My countertops have a quarter-inch of overhang, so these really stand out. The install was easy, shipping was quick, and each drawer pull has a bit of variation, which looks authentic. Quality is 10 out of 10." —Megan

Price: $18.99+ for 10 (originally $38.10; available in five finishes)

4. A sculptural solid wood side table made from an acacia tree stump, if you've been trying to create a woodsy-but-artsy vibe in your home or vacation cabin. In fact, you could totally get away with telling your guests this was a commissioned piece from a local woodworker.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Beautiful!!!!! Good price and fast delivery." —Farah

Price: $136.99 (originally $154)

5. A two-light crystal chandelier so stunning and elegant that you'll feel like you're living in a royal palace instead of the suburbs.

Anonymous / Wayfair

Promising review: "This chandelier is stunning. I put it in my dining room. The bulbs it comes with aren't bright enough, but if you add your own, it throws a lot of sparkle. It's very elegant and is a real showpiece. Highly recommend; you couldn't get better at this price." —Deanna

Price: $173.99 (originally $211.20)

6. A sleek touch-control kitchen faucet for a high-tech kitchen upgrade that might even trick you into thinking you have money. All that's required to turn it on/off is a simple touch of your wrist or forearm anywhere along the spout or handle — and as if that weren't cool enough, it also has an LED light that changes color based on the water temp!

Wayfair

Promising review: "I had the faucet for well over a year and was waiting for my dream kitchen to be done. Finally, the kitchen countertop was installed, and the faucet and sink (also purchased at Wayfair) were installed, too, and they look and work great. Good quality, too! I am very happy with the faucet and sink." —Susan

Price: $220.99+ (originally $319+; available in five finishes)

7. A trio of handcrafted glass vases because it's amazing what some elegant decor will do. These glossy, ombre-metallic beauts are stunning just as they are, but even more so when they're showcasing some fresh (or faux) flower blooms.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Very impressed! Beautiful pieces." —Grissel

Price: $170.32 (originally $299.99)

8. A metal-framed distressed accent mirror so you can enter your Disney villain era and ask Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? JK JK... but in all seriousness, your reflection will look pretty mesmerizing in this eye-catching piece of decor.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This mirror was beautiful in person and very well-made. The color is a muted gold tone and was the perfect accent piece for my space. A subtle way to make a statement." —Shreenah

Price: $103.99+ (originally $190+; available in two sizes)

9. A Persian-inspired area rug to add a subtle pop of color and sophistication. It's a perfect addition for a room that needs a little extra ~something~ but not necessarily a new focal point.

Kailey / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "Such a beautiful, neutral rug. It makes a statement without fighting for attention. It does a great job of hiding stains, and it cleans up very well. It feels really soft under [my] foot. We added a pad for extra comfort. The color matches the picture on Wayfair, but it is even prettier in person. I love it." —Lydia

Price: $29.99+ (originally $75+; available in six sizes and four colors)

10. A bar cart so you can have your own ~fancy shmancy~ happy hour sans the overcrowded downtown bar and overpriced drinks. A margarita on the couch? Yep, that's way more your style.

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: $109.99+ (originally $147.99+; available in eight colors)

11. A set of elegant bronze bookends featuring adorable little birds perched on a stack of books to keep your favorite stories from ~flying~ off the shelf.

Maureen / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "Love these playful bookends. They have a nice weight and add a touch of whimsy to the bookshelf." —Sandra

Price: $49.99 (originally $55.99)

12. An iridescent coffee table that's soooo mesmerizing, especially when the light hits it and creates a magical rainbow effect.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Love love love this coffee table. It’s light. Easy to wipe down. Really cool when the light hits it." —Merrilee

Price: $203.99

13. An ergonomic office chair if you're ready to level up your WFH game. You might not be the big salary boss, but you can at least feel like you're in charge when you're Zooming from this sleek, CEO-worthy seat.

Melissa / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "Super comfortable and chic!!!! Looks great with my desk and is very modern. Rolls easily and enjoy that the arms are slim and fit easily under the desk. Also LOVE the rose gold." —Christina

Price: $157.99+ (originally $239.45+; available in four frame colors and two upholstery colors)

14. A magnificent golden vessel sink to transform your bathroom into a royal washroom. BRB, gonna go wash my hands and cosplay as Marie Antoinette.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect addition to my guest half bath." —Amy

Price: $186.69 (originally $399)

15. A stylish pet crate since it doubles as a trendy and decorative piece of furniture. No more boring, ugly crates cramping your ~aesthetic.~

Heidi / Wayfair

Promising review: "I acquired a third dog, and wanted to have a better look in my living room for the crates. These look great, and the pups love them. They were very easy to assemble, and a week in, they are holding up very well. All three of my dogs are crate trained, and are in their crates while I work." —Georgette

Price: $129.99+ (originally $164.99+, available in four sizes and four colors)

16. A farmhouse-style entertainment center is a cute and convenient way to set up your TV without drilling holes in the wall. Plus, with this, you can *also* store blankets, books, movies, and other things on the shelves and inside in the cabinets. OR! Some reviewers have also used this as an upscale bathroom vanity.

Kelly S / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "I absolutely love this piece...it's beautiful. The picture does it no justice. It's heavyweight and not made of cheap material. It should hold up for many years to come. I'm using mine as a bathroom vanity!" —Kelly S

Price: $19199+ (originally $249.99+; available in six colors and two sizes)

17. A set of two round throw pillows, since adding these velvet beauties to the couch will instantly make your living room look elegant. And yes, they'll also give you a touch more support when you're lounging.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Really, really pretty pillows! Very soft, well-sewn puckers, beautiful to look at, very pretty color. Soft, soft fabric. Bought them for pillow cuddles on a new girl-only-room couch. Won't disappoint!" —Margaret

Price: $34.51+ for two (originally $73.99+; available in 19 colors)

18. A raised-edge coffee table featuring an accent color in the tray, which makes this piece look way more expensive than it is. Plus, it's designed so you can take the top part off and fold the legs for easy storage or transport.

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. A nice addition that doesn’t feel like an afterthought for the coffee table. Perfect for our small apartment. Nice gold burnished color." —Dana

Price: $148.99+ (available in five base colors and six tabletop colors)

19. A Rachael Ray 18-piece cookware set because these beautiful blue nonstick pots, pans, and measuring cups are gonna bring both your cooking and your kitchen style to the next level. And last I checked, rich people always have an aesthetic ~matching~ set, even if they hardly cook themselves!

Jennifer / Wayfair, Wayfair

Set includes two saucepans, a sauté pan and a stockpot, all with lids; two frying pans; a large cooking spoon; a spatula; and a six-piece measuring cup set.

Promising review: "I bought the set in cranberry red. They are just beautiful. I had worked with them in a rental unit in Florida, and came right back home and ordered my own set. They clean beautifully, cook evenly, and are just a pleasure to use." —Julie

Price: $179.98 (originally $360)

20. A freestanding coat tree that looks more like a decorative sculpture than functional entryway furniture. Translation: Walking into your home will feel like stepping into an art gallery.

Marian / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "This is a work of functional art! Simply beautiful!" —Albert Norris

Price: $40.99+ (available in three colors)

21. An upholstered storage ottoman to keep all the blankets, toys, and other stuff out of sight while you sit back and kick up your feet. Nothing I love more than furniture that's functional and fashionable!

lurie / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "Love this velvet ottoman. It’s of good quality; there’s storage inside, and it’s comfortable to sit on or easy to move to another space to put your feet up. Very pretty." —Margot

Price: $87.99+ (originally $99.58+; available in eight colors)

22. A velvet wingback platform bed so you can snuggle up for a nap and pretend as if you live in the penthouse suite of a fancy hotel...even though your tiny city apartment is quite far from that.

Wayfair

Promising review: "Beautiful and exactly the vibe I imagined! Also very easy to assemble." —Aly

Price: $174.99+ (originally $336.96+; available in sizes full–king and eight colors)

23. A wrought-iron hanging light fixture with two sleek black dome lamps to bring warm light and modern industrial-chic style to your kitchen. Will these transform your kitchen into a cozy tapas-style restaurant? Why yes, yes they will.

Wayfair, Samantha / Wayfair

Promising review: "These lights look very nice hanging over the kitchen island. They’re a good size and give off a beautiful glow from the gold interior. I love the look of them and they have a retractable and adjustable cord so you can adjust the length after installation if need be." —Kate

Price: $103.99+ (originally $179.99+; available in three sizes)

24. A teak wood soap dish since it's high time you invest in an ~aesthetic~ way to store your bar of soap instead of just leaving it right on top of the sink. Not only will this look better on your counter, but it will also keep the mildew and soap scum at bay.

Wayfair

Promising review: "This has been a super cute addition to my bathroom. <3" —Alexis

Price: $20.99

25. A diamond-textured window valence perfect for windows that don't quite need curtains but still need a little something to dress them up...which is where this half-curtain comes in. It's small additions like these that will have people wondering if you hired an expensive interior decorator.

Carol / Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising review: "Perfect for covering the blinds behind my TV and still letting light in. Love the textured design, not a boring valance!" —Jennifer

Price: $20.99+ (available in seven colors)

26. A sleek and modern LED table lamp is as impressive as it looks. It has a three-way dimmer system that's completely controlled by touch AND a built-in USB port for charging up your devices!

Wayfair

PS: The 60W LED light bulb *is* included.

Promising review: "These are classy, and the metal touch dimmable feature is sooooo convenient for a bedside accent lamp. Excellent soft light for reading at the end of the day or just to give the room a nice ambiance. Splurged on two and I have zero regrets." —Lauren

Price: $43.99+ (originally $54.99; available in two shade colors)

27. A chic LED bath bar since it's a simple addition that'll make the washroom feel way more ~upscale.~ BTW, you can install this dimmable light fixture vertically or horizontally, depending on how you want to frame the bathroom mirror or vanity.

Wayfair, Jessica / Wayfair

Promising review: “Good quality light. It arrived well packaged and was undamaged. The light itself is constructed well. Super easy to install (it only took about 5-10 minutes). I really like that the LED bars can swivel so you can point them in any direction. The light itself is plenty bright and lit evenly across the bars.” —Kate

Price: $76.99+ (originally $109.99; available in three finishes)

28. A set of four agate coasters so you can protect your tabletops and counters from condensation, but also have something fascinating to stare at. Each one has its own unique pattern! Truly, these are such a ~gem.~

Wayfair, Wendi/Wayfair

Promising review: “These coasters are beautiful! They are almost too pretty to cover with your drink. I bought them for our house because when we moved, our drink coasters got lost somewhere along the way. What I love about these is that they have little rubber feet on the bottom to keep them from scratching whatever surface they're sitting on. These coasters would make a lovely gift for someone." —Wendie

Price: $29.99+ (originally $49.99; available in six colors)

29. A seashell-inspired velvet barrel chair because you're secretly a mermaid on land, so this is obviously the throne you need. JK, JK — but I'm not joking when I say it's a seriously chic accent piece that'll have you *feeling* like a Disney princess (and one who never has to worry about money). 👑

Wayfair

Promising review: "Cute, comfortable, and very sturdy." —Emmanuela

Price: $165.99+ (originally $379.99+; available in 16 colors)

30. A 2-in-1 showerhead so luxurious, you'll at least feel rich and pampered for a few minutes each day. Enjoy a steady full-spray mode, gentle massage mode, or both simultaneously — you can even detach the inner handheld part if you want. But the best part? It costs just a fraction of a trip to the spa!

Wayfair

Promising review: "I was worried that it wouldn’t work the way I wanted it to, so I’m pleasantly surprised that it works exactly how I wanted it to! Loved it so much I bought two!!! Plus, it matches my bathroom tiles perfectly!!!" —Lissel

Price: $59.37+ (originally $99.90+; available in three finishes)
