1. A beautiful runner with a boho-chic feel you can add to your entrance way to give that area the breath of life it deserves.
Promising review: "This rug came rolled up in thick plastic, and the quality and colors are just perfect. For the price, this rug is great. It blends well with my decor, and I like the fact that it is soft but seems durable. It's easy to vacuum to clean. If you are looking for a nice-looking, not expensive rug, this is what you need." —Martha
Get it from Amazon for $24.34 (available in two styles and 28 sizes not under $25).
2. A rope basket to store blanket or trinkets, because your place looks nicer when it looks like everything has a place.
3. A two-tier plant stand so you have a place to display your ~growing~ collection and also any other books or trinkets that need a home. This stand won't take up a lot of space but will add a lot to the decor factor.
Promising review: "This is a nice-looking stand that was easy to put together (about 10 minutes). It does not wobble. The stand didn't have any damage. It works for my purposes. It's holding a large spider plant with multiple trails, a good-sized Swiss cheese plant, and a weeping fig that is in recovery. I would have preferred another color besides black although I guess the stand could be painted. It's a good, solid, and inexpensive stand. I would definitely purchase another." —Kristy P.
Get it from Ikea for $24.99 (available in three sizes).
4. A set of floating shelves that'll take advantage of wasted space on your walls and show off any cool books, candles, or souvenirs you love.
5. An abstract geometric wall art print to bring a bit of color to the room and make people think you might have picked it up from a fancy art gallery.
6. Adhesive backsplash tiles – people will think you spent hundreds of dollars redoing your kitchen when all you did was peel it off and stick it to your kitchen wall (or shower or wherever else you want in your home).
7. A shelf that'll add some life to your walls. Yep, your stuff definitely looks better on the wall than in a pile on the counter. I guarantee it.
8. A set of two velvet throw pillow covers because putting these on your couch will make you feel like you're basically living at Buckingham Palace, I swear.
9. An infinity vase you can fill with some faux flowers for a simple yet extremely chic piece of decor that will always look good.
10. A personalized map key holder small enough to fit right beside your door so you (and your boo) avoid a cluttered home *and* always know where your keys are. Plus, it will show the place you two first met, which will bring a sweet smile to your face every time you see it.

Promising review: "Our custom key holder is absolutely stunning! The quality exceeded my expectations, and the shipping process was very quick. So thrilled with this memento of our first apartment together that we will cherish for years to come!" —Jessica
Get it from Oakdene Designs on Etsy for $22.67.
11. Or an entryway organizer if you want a place to put your mail along with your keys. No need to keep that pile of mail cluttering your counter anymore.
12. Garage magnets meant to make your current garage door look like a fancy-schmancy carriage door without having to spend a butt load of money replacing the darn thing.
13. An LED light strip to turn your mirror into a vanity worthy of a big Hollywood star. Plus, you'll be able to do a much better job on your makeup when you have good lighting on your face.
14. A geometric wire photo frame designed to add a little dimension to your decor.
15. A sleek digital clock designed with a mirror face to be an interesting decor piece that also lets you know that you have three more hours left to sleep when you wake up randomly in the middle of the night.
Plus, it has two USB outlets, which means you can use it to charge your phone (and Airpods) while you sleep.
Promising review: "This is a pretty basic alarm clock, but the mirror finish and large blue display give this a very modern look. Brightness is adjustable and controls are fairly simple. Blue is a deep vibrant shade and looks awesome against the mirror finish." —J. Pennington
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in eight colors all under $25).
16. An under-cabinet wineglass rack perfect for holding any glasses that are too tall or fragile to be crowded into a cabinet with the rest of your glasses. These will turn heads and make your kitchen feel like a Michelin-star restaurant.
17. A grout pen to transform your bathroom (or kitchen) floor from drab to fab by restoring it to the pristine color of yesteryear.
18. A gold wire photo wall frame to showcase photos, mementos, and other small trinkets.
19. A set of peel-and-stick floor tiles designed to make it super easy to redo your floor, without spending a lot of time or money.
20. A terrazzo rug composed of different colors and textures to add a bit of whimsy and depth to any room you put it in.
Promising review: "The rug looks just like the pictures. It's pretty and a little boho. There was a bit of 'shedding' here and there but not much. I would recommend a rug pad as it does slip around on hard floors. The size is perfect for in front of my kitchen sink as it's longer than a standard mat." —JM
Get the 2x3 size from Amazon for $22.99 (also available in three sizes not under $25).
21. A flat outlet plug to help you eliminate the clutter and eyesore of the mess of cords around your plugs and give your space a sleek and clean look.
Promising review: "This was very easy to install to hide all the messy wires. This is life changing to create a nice, sleek space." —Martha Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in eight different lengths/configurations).
22. A static cling decorative window film perfect if you live a little too close to your neighbors or have big windows in rooms that probably don't need big windows.
23. A set of five petite glass vases because flowers in tiny vases are just so much cuter than they are in regular-sized ones.
24. Some sheer drapes to add a touch of greenery to your home without having to worry about having actual plants you need to remember to water all the time.
25. Some under-cabinet lights that will help ~illuminate~ your space so it looks and feels brighter, which in turn will improve your mood.
26. Or an outlet light if you want an option you can put in more places than just your kitchen. It will add a little bit of light to the room without having to get a big and bulky night-light. And when you turn the lights off at night, you won't end up running into a door you def thought was closed but it was too dark to see... Take it from me, that's no fun at all.
Promising review: "I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." —LMK
Get it from Amazon for $22.48+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
27. Some removable stair riser tile decals to add some life to your staircase because, trust me, you won't believe how much nicer your home will look when you transform your stairs. It's a small detail that can really make a big difference.
28. A pom-pom throw that will instantly add a touch of glam to your couch or bed and also give you something to snuggle under as you watch your favorite TV show.
Promising review: "So this was a total impulse buy, but I’m sooo glad I bought it! Literally no dislikes. I bought the mustard yellow in the 60"x80" and it’s the greatest thing everrrr. So pretty and comfortable. I’m obsessed. 🥰 I will definitely be purchasing as a gift for family and friends in the future." —Kassandra Emerson
Get it from Amazon for $19.54 (available in two sizes and 19 colors under $25).
29. A set of minimalist wood hooks to put your coats on rather than just throwing them on the floor.
30. An adhesive ledge shelf set that'll blend seamlessly into a white wall or cabinet and give you a place to store any items that have been cluttering up your counter space and making it feel smaller.
31. A centerpiece bowl with an interesting eye-catching design you can use to draw the eye to the center of the table (and give you a place to store some fruit).
32. A eucalyptus bundle you can put in your shower to add some greenery to that usually bare space. Plus, the eucalyptus will help reduce congestion, open sinuses, soothe a cold, and even reduce anxiety!
Eucalyptus Blooms is a Charlotte, North Carolina–based small biz that sells eucalyptus bundles as well as lavender!
Promising review: "It took a while to ship, but it was worth the wait. It looks fantastic in my shower and smells great, too. It makes an everyday part of my routine feel luxurious! PS: I saw this item posted on BuzzFeed, which is what inspired me to buy. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the shop received a ridiculous influx or orders from being featured on such a large site, which may explain why it took a little while for mine to be shipped. 10/10 would recommend!" —Breanna D.
Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $13.44+ (available in two sizes under $25).
33. A magazine rack perfect for storing any magazines, newspapers, and catalogues you've collected instead of them forming piles on your coffee table.
34. A set of plastic canisters perfect to give things, such as Q-tips, cotton balls, or even bath bombs an elegant look while sitting out on the counter like it's a 5-star hotel bathroom.
35. A rectangle tray you can put on your coffee table or actual table and dress up flowers, candles, or any other small decor items.
36. Photo clip string lights that will not only add some ambiance to the room but also give you a place to display all your favorite pictures that make you smile.
37. Some wood polish and conditioner made with beeswax and orange oil to transform any old scratched furniture that you thought was a lost cause and turn it into something that looks brand-new.
38. A marble self-adhesive film to make every surface look 100x fancier and help ensure that you get your security deposit back when you move out.
39. An oversized art print that will add some life and focus to the room without having to spend an arm and a leg.
40. A TV cord cover to disguise the cables that are visible under your wall-mounted TV. The cover will blend in with the wall and make it seem like the cords aren't there at all. And that, my friends, is fancy-home magic.
Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for hiding a cord! It looks like it is just a part of the base board. Mine is covering a cable wire only, but I think they are big enough to hide more than one cord if needed. I didn’t cut mine, and I bought two. You can tell where the two meet if you look closely. However, I do not think anyone would notice. I can’t believe I let our cable cord sit across the floor for this long. I wish I would have found these sooner!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors all under $25).
41. A floral medallion tapestry to give your walls new life, which is great if you rent and can't paint the walls — or you just don't want to.
42. A table lamp you can turn on before you turn off the overhead lights so you have a bit of light when you get into bed instead of just diving in the dark and hoping for the best.
43. Some wood repair markers to cover those scrapes and scratches that appeared on your furniture during that move you totally should have hired movers for. No need to go out and buy more furniture when this kit will restore your furniture to looking as good as new.
I used a similar kit on my TV stand after moving it into my current apartment, and it worked great! It was super easy to use — you just color in the scratch. And you can't tell the difference. It's amazing! And next time I move, I'm def hiring movers.
Promising review: "I can’t believe how well these work! Much better than I was expecting. I just had my home interior painted and the painters damaged a fiberboard medicine cabinet when they removed the masking tape. It ripped off the fake-wood veneer. These markers completely filled in the ugly spots and the colors blended well. I love that it appears to have some clear coat in it too as it dries with a slight shine that makes it look more like wood stain rather than marker. I also used them to stain wood filler in two spots in my maple kitchen cabinets where a previous homeowner had hung a paper towel holder and I really struggle to see the hole! It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this set. It’s a good value and works very well." —Shane
Get a set of 13 from Amazon for $9.99.
44. A folding storage ottoman you can fill with all the random stuff in your living room you're not sure what to do with and then use as a footrest or extra seating. We love multi-purpose items.
Your home upgrade will be almost* as great at Cinderella's glow up.
