This bed accommodates me, two huskies, a lab, and a cat in a big cuddle puddle (review image above). It’s so comfortable for watching TV or naps. It folds up into a little couch to take up less space when not in full bed mode. One of our dogs just had ACL surgery, and I’ve been sleeping in this with him at night to monitor him while recovering. We are both comfy and cozy. Love love love!" —Amy

www.amazon.com

Several reviewers recommend getting a fine tip craft glueto complete this kit. It also glows! Just be sure to grab two AA batteries(not included) once you've finished.

Promising review: "This book nook took me two days to make, and I am so in love with the final result. The instructions are very clear. Some pieces broke, so be sure to be patient while cutting them out. I glued the broken ones back together with no problem. This works with a motion sensor, but you can access the battery pack from the back, which is really convenient! The most tedious part of this is making the books, but after that, it goes pretty fast! The lights are amazing, and they tell you where to place them in the instructions. This was my first book nook I’ve ever built! I will definitely be buying more in the future!" —Phoenix

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+(available in four styles).

19. And a mini disco ball to bounce light all around the room if you're still in the thick of your Folklore era — get those "Mirrorball" vibes IRL.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My apartment gets very little sunlight, but every single night I look forward to when the sun sets so I can watch the light dance around the room. This simple little mirrored ball has brought me so much joy. Definitely recommend! Yes, there are areas where the mirror pieces are applied a little haphazardly but it’s mostly at the bottom and quite frankly I don’t care considering how affordable this thing is." —Holly

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

20. A Ban.do match holder and striker, which might seem unnecessary placed beside your electric lighter, but it's daaaarling. Plus, you can store six whole matches on top! That's...useful! Okay, really, it just makes this look like a cute birthday cake. And you better believe that's all it needs to do. Because it is. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

FYI — one of the product photos says the striker is on the lid, but according to reviewers, it's on the bottom. There's also a teeny bit of storage inside. Anyway, I strongly recommend getting these pink matches to go with it.

Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I was looking for some funky decor for my kitchen and she did not disappoint at all!! I even got a custom one with Cap'n Crunch made, and the owner exceeded all my expectations; the bowl color and size were absolutely perfect, too. I don't know what else to say besides I'm in love with them; thank you so much for making weird funky sh*t. 💜💜💜" —Kalynn Vanoy

Get it from Thistle and Thread Art on Etsy for $35.99 (available in five bowl colors and six cereals).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

See it on TikTok! It comes with four bulbs, so you can plug it in and enjoy its cozy glow right away. 

Promising review: "Yes, it’s plastic. And yes, it’s a reproduction, but it looks so much better in person, especially when it’s turned on. It gives off the perfect soft lighting. Mid-century modern look without the hefty price tag. It is expensive for plastic, but if you wanted to purchase a similar style lamp from that period, it would be much more $$$, and it comes with bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so I plugged mine into a plug with a battery-operated remote, so I wouldn’t have to get behind my table to turn it on every time. Happy with purchase." —jacqueline l. gibson

Get it from Amazon for $56.95 (available in four colors).

Get it from Amazon for $13.90

25. An upholstered sofa with a cheery design you can count on when trying to enhance your entire space with one specific piece.

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "This was exactly as I expected and more. Shipping was quick, assembly a breeze and I put it together myself. The cushions are softer than they appear and are secured in place with Velcro. Keep in mind that this is a low-profile sofa. My love seat next to it looks a bit off because it’s much higher." —Gisselle

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $1,299(available in three styles).

26. A pair of battery-operated sconces that'll instantly create a cozy, romantic Nora Ephron-approved aesthetic in your living room. 

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Editor Chelsea Stuarthas this to say about the lights: "I just got these for my bedroom, and they're simply gorgeous. I am a renter, so I needed an option that didn't require any electrical work and beyond that, I HATE cords, so I wanted to avoid those as well. IMO, the best part about these is that they have rechargeable lightbulbs — so no outlets necessary! I also love the remote control, which allows you to set them to a cool or warm tone, dim them, and set a timer if you want them to turn off after a certain amount of time. I consider myself pretty handy, so installing these was no big deal, but I will say, even if you're not Bob the Builder, I think it's pretty simple! All you need is a screwdriver, drill (if you want to use the wall anchors), and 20 minutes. All of the necessary hardware comes included!" 

Get a set of two from Amazon for $47.49 (available in two finishes).

27. A cheerful flush mount so darn darling I'm about 32 seconds away from investing in it myself. This modern, perky piece is technically designed with kids in mind, but it's sure to be an eye-catching statement in your living room.

Get it from West Elm for $199.20+ (available in four colors).

Get them from Amazon for $5.52.

29. A bendable halo projector lamp with FIVE halo bulbs in total — get this, and you can make your late WFH nights entertaining in an instant. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

See it in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." —Max Ferg

Get it from Amazon for $119.99

30. A hanging fruit hook that'll help you start up a stunning secret garden aesthetic in your living room. These charming metal hangers put the "fun" in "functional," folks!

Get it from Target for $400 (available in two colors).

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $229.

34. A plush play mat with a thick quilted cushion and darling design that'll actually complement your living room's aesthetic rather than clash with those aggressively cheerful primary colors so much kid stuff is still covered in.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m so glad I found this play mat. I have been genuinely surprised at how comfy and cushioned it is. It has protected my baby’s head many times when she rolls over too quickly. It’s extremely easy to spot clean and doesn’t stain at all! I haven’t washed it in the machine yet, but I plan to let it air dry when I do, and I feel that would work best with it. The fabric is really soft, and the design is pretty! This is a great solution for anyone with hard floors and a curious baby who wants to crawl around. 10/10!" —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in three colors and five sizes).

35. A sling rack bookshelf — this has four tiers of "shelving" and enough room to store a hearty collection of tiny board and picture books. The speckled material is positively popping with personality *and* the frame, though lightweight, is balanced enough to handle kiddos climbing all around it. And it's not just for kids! This is sure to be a unique and awe-worthy way to display comics, magazines, cookbooks, and more. 

Amazon

I bought two of the version above for our living room because I love these so much (and because I have, ahem, too many books). I use this specifically for board books. My daughter has been able to get books out of this (without it toppling over on her) since she was old enough to crawl! I firmly believe that having books out and easy for her to access has made her the avid reader she is. I love, love, love this sling shelf system.

Promising review: "This is perfect for a nursery! I needed something that would display my daughter’s books while being easily accessible but also space-saving. This was just that. It’s great quality, very easy to put together, and looks perfect in the small space I needed it for! I’d recommend to anyone!" —Abby M.

Get it from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in 13 styles).

Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting this to take as long as it did; I see why people do this with someone else. But it was even more fun to do this by myself and watch my shows. The instructions are in picture form and detail which pack is which. Some of the pieces can be similar, and you have a couple of pieces left behind, but I think they’re a weird form of 'extras.' But if you’re not super messy or plan on moving these around too much, you won’t have to worry about the pieces but keep them safe. I love how these will never die, and I look forward to another set of forever flowers to build! :)." —Bri J.

Get it from Amazon for $47.95.

38. A jungle mural I am personally drooling over at this very moment. The faded, lived-in aesthetic is sure to make your wall look plucked straight out of a Victorian mansion.

Get it from Amazon for $87.14+ (available in several sizes and styles).

39. A set of floating bookshelves that'll add a lot of magic to your plain white walls while saving your minimal floor space from bulky bookshelves.

Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support.

Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately 5–7 hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere

Get a small set of three from Amazon for $30.99 (also available in a large set and individually).

40. A hammered glass ceiling light with brushed brass hardware and an iridescent glow — its diamond-like lighting effect is sure to dazzle everyone who sees it glittering in your living room. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve never loved something from Amazon as much as I love this light fixture. We call it our disco hallway! It gives off great light, and as you can see in the photo (pictured above, right), it’s like a rainbow prism on the walls and ceiling, but beneath it is regular lighting, so it can be used in all types of rooms. Seriously, get it! If the pendant style would have worked in my dining room I would have gotten it for there as well. I’m obsessed." —Jesi

Get it from Amazon for $94+ (available in four styles).

41. A 360-degree swivel chair (!!!) so you can relax at the end of the day and spin around, looking at the home you have perfectly crafted to be all your own. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I really love these chairs. They were very easy to put together. The screws and tools were provided, and assembly only took five minutes. They are sturdy and pretty and swivel very well. I think they are delightful, cozy, fun chairs at a reasonable price!" —Lori Lynn & Zeke

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in 26 colors).

42. A pair of linen café curtains reviewers use both over their windows as a way to create privacy (while still getting light!) *and* as a gorgeous upgrade to unsightly storage spaces. If you find yourself glaring down at your litter box or the unorganized shoe storage beside your sofa, set these curtains up and hide that all away *while* making your living room look cottagecore cozy! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very pretty curtains! I love how they are thick enough for some privacy yet still let the sunshine in. I chose the taupe striped so I can transition my kitchen for the fall, but think they will look pretty all year long." —Stacy

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 28 colors/styles).

43. Gorgeous felt "tile" wall art — these customizable pieces are sound-dampening and pinnable (like cork board) for creating decorated walls that have useful functions in the home.

Felt Right

This splurge-worthy art has quickly become one of my all-time favorite pieces of decor. I live in a loft that's right in the middle of a music school...so it gets loud. And not necessarily good. Ever heard an hour-long violin lesson from a beginner? It's rough. Having these sound dampeners on the wall has made such a difference! Each display is gorgeous (their color palettes are literally award-winning), and they complement so many different interior design styles (I have the Quilting Star, and if my apartment was cleaner right now, I'd show you). Owner and creator Talley Goodson has made the products from this small, Utah-based business a must-have home good.

Get the floral version from Felt Right for$199.95+ (available in six colors and various sizes and styles).
