I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer extraordinaire, as well as a film & TV critic, which is why she loves scouring the interwebs to find the best pop culture knick-knacks to rep your fave fandom.

1. A removable peel-and-stick wallpaper that'll help renters get in on the redecorating fun without worrying about losing their deposit when they move out. The easiest way to imbue a little personality in your space is with a pre-designed wall. Reviewers note that it removes quite easily, too.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "Love the colors, and it actually peels off rather easily! Now, since I didn't realize how high my ceiling was, I had to buy about six rolls! Definitely do your measurements! Still completely satisfied!" —Tank

"This wallpaper is gorgeous! I hung it myself on walls with a 10-foot ceiling, angling it at a 5-degree angle. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Yet it came out stunning!" —Kimberly

Price: $34.97 for a 30.75 sq. ft. roll (also available in double pack)

2. A large mirror with adorable scalloped edges, so you can place it in your bathroom to make the space feel larger.

Walmart

Promising review: "This mirror looks beautiful and feels well-made. The frame is sturdy, and the reflection is clear with no distortion. It was easy to install and instantly made the space feel brighter and more open. Great quality for the price." —Shawn

Price: $68.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors/finishes)

3. Rechargeable motion sensor adhesive lights to add much-needed illumination in the dark spots throughout your home. They go great under the kitchen cabinet, over paintings on the wall, or on bookshelves, too. They're rechargeable, so when they start to look a little dim, charge them up, and they're ready to light the way once again.

Walmart

Promising review: "I like the ease of installation, the ability to adjust for warm or cool lighting, and the option for always on or motion-detecting. I use them on my shelves to accent what I display there, and I also use them under kitchen cabinets to light my countertops. They are easy to pull down and recharge, which I don't have to do very often, and then they snap right back in place on their magnet." —Cindy

Price: $11.99 for a two-pack (originally $27.99; available in two sizes; also available in a four-pack)

4. A swivel accent chair, because you've been wondering what to do with that corner space in your living room. Lightbulb! 💡 Turn it into a reading nook. If you have kids, you can also use it as the ~calm-down chair~ for when they have big emotions and need a space to take a breather. Adults could also use a space like that!

Walmart

Promising review: "Gorgeous, comfy, functional chair! Color is even better in person. The swivel aspect is really smooth. The fabric is really soft. The seat is really plush, so it's great to sit on for a while! Really happy with this purchase and definitely recommend." —Nick

Price: $248 (also available in brown)

5. A modern abstract area rug in case it isn't exactly practical or economical for you to replace the flooring in your home. This large rug will at least cover up most of the floor in your living room or bedroom and give you a variety of colors to pull from while switching up the aesthetics.

Walmart

Price: $24.79+ (available in five sizes and nine colors/styles)

6. A striped shower curtain featuring a sunny, amber yellow that'll instantly cheer you up when you head to the bathroom in the morning to get ready for work. If your bathroom has no windows, consider this your own little pocket of sunshine. ☀️☀️☀️

Walmart

Price: $19.88 (available in two colors)

7. An entryway organizer for a place to host your out-of-the-door essentials: shoes, bags, jackets, scarves, and an umbrella. This is also a great addition for *no-shoes-allowed* homes. When guests come over, they can place their shoes on the rack at the bottom of the organizer before getting too far inside the house. 

Walmart

Promising review: "This hall tree is very sturdy and well-made for the price. The metal frame feels solid and holds coats, bags, and shoes without wobbling. It's perfect for the entryway — great for storing shoes and hanging jackets we wear outside when coming home. Assembly was easy, and it looks clean and organized by the front door. Excellent value for the quality. Highly recommend." —Ming

Price: $43.99 (available in two colors)

8. Daisy shelf liners you can use to make the inside of your drawers and fridge look stylish. But these liners aren't just pretty to look at; they also protect your surface and are nonslip, even without adhesive.

Walmart

Promising review: "This is a sturdy product. It works great in my pantry. I wanted to protect my shelves with something inexpensive, but durable and stylish. It's exactly what the seller described in the description. I like the daisies. I recommend this product." —Anonymous

Price: $10.99 

9. A chic rolling bar cart — the quickest way to add *I host parties* energy to your space. And yes, the parties for one that you host on the couch count! Obviously, if you're hosting friends and family, being able to load up this cart and wheel it into the next room is convenient. When not in use, you can also load it with your prettiest kitchenware to serve as an additional focal point, showcasing your glassware and wine collection. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Wow...Unreal quality for the price!! This is such a nice addition to my dining room. It looks great as a movable serving cart for a dinner party or a bar cart. Goes great with my way-more-expensive dining furniture. Perfect black color! Plus, the wheels seem safe to move across my real wood flooring. I would absolutely buy again!!" —Melissa

Price: $139 (available in three colors)

10. Agorgeous vase, a cheat code for leveling up a bare shelf. This painted glass vase is so pretty that you don't even need to put anything inside it. Feel free to display it in all its glory solo, especially when you're in between bouquets. 

Walmart

Promising review: "This vase is beautiful and nicely made. Very pretty accent with or without flowers! The painting on the vase is a very pretty accent. The pink colors are soft with small touches of a light teal blue swatches here and there." —Trudy

Price: $16.97

11. A sweet wooden cabinet with pull-out drawers and shelves that you can think of as a ~bathroom bookcase~ because you fill it with all sorts of useful bathroom essentials and top it with knickknacks. It can hold your towels, your beauty and skincare products, and other decorative items like plants. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Beautiful cabinet... Well worth the money spent. I just put this together. It took this 66-year-old woman about three hours, but the picture instructions were easy to follow. I completed one step at a time and felt a sense of accomplishment. The cabinet is beautiful — much nicer than I anticipated. The wood is heavy and well-made. The hardware used to put it together made me feel that this piece of furniture will not fall apart. It's sturdy! I am very pleased and wholeheartedly recommend." —Sueb22

Price: $79.99+ (available in two colors)

12. A charming petal desk lamp ready to use its flower power to give you just enough light to read a few chapters of your new book before bed.

Walmart

Promising review: "Gorgeous lamp. The floral detail of the shade is well done and doesn't get hot. The gold base has a good weight to it, isn't easily knocked over, and doesn't look cheap. It's bright, but I like that for a bedside lamp for reading. Also, you can always use an amber or lower-wattage bulb. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to spend this much, but the moment I set eyes on it, I was so glad I purchased it." —Suzannenga

Price: $37.88

13. A faux plant for people who love plants, but don't have a green thumb. Enjoy this large plant that'll never die. One reviewer said the only problem was figuring out where to put it, since it looks so great in every room. 

Walmart

Promising review: "The tree looks great and is the perfect size for my space. I placed it in a larger planter, which makes it look much better than it did in the small planter it originally came with. Setup was simple — just fluff the branches to give it a fuller look. I definitely recommend it!" —Panasa

Price: $39.99+ (available in two sizes)

14. A new fluted nightstand, more than just a pretty face. This nightstand has built-in outlets and USB ports so you can charge your devices. Now you can save the room on top of the nightstand for other important items like your 9 p.m. bag of Cheetos. 😏

Walmart

The built-in power station has three USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and two standard power outlets. 

Promising review: "I am very impressed by the quality of these nightstands, given how inexpensive they are. The velvet-lined top drawer with built-in charging is an amazing detail. The size is perfect, and I love how large the top area is for placing things without it looking crowded. Assembly instructions were very easy to follow, and they even included a ratchet to make attaching the legs and gluing the dowels extra sturdy. Took only one hour to assemble each, and they are very well made." —Taylor

Price: $208 (also available in a set of two)

15. A three-piece comforter set so lovely, each time you enter your room, you'll feel as though you just walked into a small cottage.  

Walmart

Promising review: "The comforter arrived and was very small in its vacuum packaging, considering it was king-size. But as soon as I removed the packaging, it began to loosen and expand. I washed it, and it was absolutely beautiful. I was so pleased that I ordered two more. I highly recommend this comforter. It is not thin, but rather surprisingly thick and fluffy, with a lovely print. Could not be more pleased." —Ann

Price: $24.99+ (available in sizes Twin/Twin XL–King and four prints)

16. A matte black waterfall showerhead with three modes, two jets, and eight hand sprays in a handheld combo that features angular elements that'll allow the water to be distributed more evenly and across a wider area. Hello, rainshower.

Walmart

Promising review: "I love this shower head combo! The water flow is super strong and feels amazing — way better than the one I bought at Costco. The 12-inch rain head covers my whole body, and the handheld is so easy to use with the magnetic dock. Lots of spray options, easy to install, and showering is just more relaxing now. Definitely worth it!" —Anonymous

Price: $49.99 (originally $99.99; also available in seven other finishes)

17. A set of flameless candles, if you want to usher in those Hallmark Movie Channel romantic cabin vibes without fear of forgetting to put the candles out before you get too comfortable and fall asleep.

Walmart

Promising review: "This may sound silly, but I have nine of these lighting my living room, dining room, and kitchen. They are all on when I get up in the morning. They make the rooms look so pretty. They go off at eight via the timer. No smoke, no fussing with wax candles. Love them." —Donna

Price: $17.99 (available in four colors)

18. A bouclé storage ottoman in case you're looking for a fun and homely option that looks like a cloud landed in the middle of your living room. It's a surprise piece of furniture. One moment, you've got your feet kicked up rewatching an episode of Severance. The next, *surprise,* you're pulling out a little blanket to throw over your feet when it gets chilly. It's also great as a mini toy chest that still fits your home vibes.

Walmart

Promising review: “Such a cute, trendy ottoman! Perfect for additional seating in my small college apartment! It also works great for storing our blankets! I will definitely be buying another color.” —Susie

Price: $49.94 (originally $58.97; available in four colors)

19. A prismatic window film (perfect if you're looking for a privacy screen) for a whimsical addition to your room that'll double as decor. Depending on where your windows are, adding this film will cause the sunlight to shine gorgeous rainbows on your wall. Two birds, one window.

Walmart

Promising reviews: "I’ve wanted something to put on my windows to create a suncatcher effect, and this was absolutely perfect. Not too difficult to put up (just separating the protective covering from the window attaching side is a bit tricky after cutting the first piece off), and the rainbows all over my apartment have brought me so much joy. :)" —T

"This is such a beautiful reflective pattern. I am in love with the little rainbows it creates throughout my house. Also, it was incredibly easy to install. It adheres to water rather than a sticky adhesive back. I am usually horrible at installing any type of contact paper, but I was able to apply this product by myself." —Julie

Price: $8.99+ (available in 10 sizes and four styles)

20. A waterfall bench to sit at the foot of your bed, ready to serve by providing you a place to sit when putting on your shoes, holding your jacket and purse when you've come home from a hard day, or just to serve looks because it adds an elegant touch to your bedroom.

Walmart

Promising review: "Love this bench! Fantastic, looks classy and chic, is so soft, and comes assembled. Just take it out of the box and put it where you want! Highly recommend." —Makaila

Price: $98 (available in three colors)

21. Some striped ceramic planters, which are like the equivalent of taking your plant babies ~back to school shopping.~ They'll love their new outfit and so will you, as it adds a new attitude to the room. The planter can hold over four quarts of water, and reviewers note that it looks far more expensive than it actually costs. A win!

Walmart

Promising review: "This flower pot with the black stripes on it is exquisite. It is so striking. I got the pink, and it is lovely, but this one is beyond words for its richness. Looks like a very expensive flower pot. I placed a lovely plant in it with tones of red and pink, and it is a real eye catcher when you enter my living room. I think any plant in this flower pot would be fabulous. I highly recommend it." —Carolyn

Price: $12.44+ (originally $17.88; available in three colors) 

22. A Paris Hilton heart-shaped knife block because despite your all-black wardrobe, you ~love~  adding practical yet pretty items to your kitchen, so it's only right that you opt for this pinky knife set instead of the standard black. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Okay, first of all, this knife set is iconic. Like, if Barbie had a personal chef at the Hilton, this is what she would use to slice avocados before brunch. The pink handles give Y2K glam meets Gordon Ramsay realness. And the gold blades? Babe… They do not just cut, they slay. I honestly bought them thinking they would just sit on my counter looking cute (which, obviously, they do). But then I actually used one and realized these are legit sharp. Like, “slice through a tomato like it is air” sharp. I felt like I was starring in my own cooking show called Cooking with a Queen. 👑 And the little heart-shaped block? Stop. It is everything. Every time I walk into my kitchen, I say, 'That is hot,' and then immediately want to make something just to use them again. Even my toast feels fancy now. Basically, these are not just knives. They are a vibe. They are camp, couture, and culinary all at once. If Paris Hilton herself were a kitchen utensil, this would be her. 💅💖" —Marie

Price: $49.77+ (available in two colors)

23. A 12-piece ceramic nonstick cookware set to give that one singular fry pan you've been using for all your dishes a break. This set is gorgeous, you'll be looking for ways to display all 12 pieces around your kitchen like works of art. The only thing more beautiful than this cookware is the sight of your food sliding out of the pan without sticking to them.

Walmart

Set includes 8-inch and 10-inch fry pans, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, a 2-quart covered saucepan, a 5-quart covered casserole, and four cookware protectors.

Promising review: "I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this cookware. Heats evenly, food slides right out, and clean up is effortless. The slotted lids and pour spouts are phenomenal. If you're debating whether to purchase, DO IT. Purchased a black set for myself and blue for the MIL's upcoming birthday. Noted that I have an LG glass top and leaves no odd marks or anything on burners. Don't place hot cookware into water, allow to cool, per instruction manual." —Lisa

Price: $99+ (originally $149; available in 10 colors)

24. A six-piece dishwasher-safe silicone kitchen tool set with a variety of cooking utensils to ensure you have the tools you need to whip up a nice dinner when your family comes to town for a visit.

Walmart

Set includes a silicone turner, spoon, slotted spoon, slotted turner, spatula, and a ceramic crock.

Promising review: "Love these! They feel substantial, work well for all my cooking needs, are easy to clean, don't stain, and the color is very muted and neutral. Leans more toward gray, but it's very nice." —Cynaper

"These are really beautiful! The longer-than-average handles are especially nice. These are heavier weight, and the crock they go in is gorgeous! I love these!" —Kan

Price: $29.98+ (available in seven colors/styles)

25. A set of weatherproof patio string lights you can drape along your gazebo, fence, or patio door to set the mood for a chill fall evening.

Walmart

Promising review: “We have a brick-in privacy patio that is partially covered, outside of our sunroom. I bought these lights, and they are the perfect length. Hung them above the three windows, under the overhang that covers the two fans. Puts a smile on my face every time I see them. Brings warmth, coziness, and personality to our patio. Would definitely recommend!!!” —Tamara 

Price: $29.99 for 100 feet (also available in another length)

26. A wood-burning firepit here to be the centerpiece of your backyard shindigs. This firepit is ready, willing, and able to warm you and your guests up on a chilly evening, roast some dogs or toast some 'mallows, and add ambiance for ghost stories when your nieces and nephews come over for a slumber party. 

Walmart

Promising review: "I had a 32-inch square Mainstays fireplace for three years — hundreds of fires before the bottom rotted out. I never covered it; water settled, and it would have lasted many more years if I had cared for it. So I bought another one, and it is even better than the last one. Easy assembly and great height, and the round shape allows for easier traffic flow around the fire. It is on our deck and fits perfectly for s'mores and night swims!" —Lynne

Price: $67

27. A two-seater daybed so you can post up outside and bask in the sun. Grab a friend and your beach read, secure the snacks and bevs, throw on your sunnies, and you're all set. No need to take a trip over to the cooler or kitchen to reup. Lounging never looked better... 😎

Walmart

Promising review: “So impressed with the quality! I think we are going to get another one!” —jill

Price: $422.22+ (available in four colors)

28. Or, a four-person conversation set that includes a wooden coffee table, giving you everything you need to relax and entertain this season. 

Walmart

Price: $447 (available in three colors)
