1. A sleek TikTok-famous LED alarm clock complete with charging ports so you don't have to decide between plugging in your alarm clock or charging your phone and laptop. Having an alarm clock makes it easier to quickly see what time it is so you can know if you have time to roll over for a few more minutes or need to immediately hop up because you've overslept.
Promising review: “Let’s be honest. There are tons and I mean tons of clock options out there but the reality is that majority of them are hideous. I wanted a clock that was both functional and looks great. This product is exactly that. I find the second dim level perfect. The USB ports on the side make charging small devices a breeze. Guests are always complimenting the clock and asking where I got it. Highly recommend!” —Catherine

2. A three-wick candle from Bath & Body Works because what's the point in having a gorgeous candle lighter if you don't also have a gorgeous candle to light. Every time your roommate walks by, they'll wonder what that heavenly aroma is leaking from beneath your door.
I have this this candle and it smells amazing. I love a fresh and light scent and this candle, like most water-themed candles, is a great scent. The three-wick candles have a large throw and last a long time, too. I normally light candles when I'm working, especially when I'm having a particularly stressful week. Or, when I haven't cleaned in a while but want it to smell like I have. Either way, this candle is a top choice!
Promising review: "This candle has a wonderful fresh and clean scent that fills the whole room without being too overpowering; it’s gentle yet strong. It’s the perfect candle for relaxing after a long day. The throw is 10/10. I’ll be stocking up on this one." —Unicorn06
Get it from Bath & Body Works for $26.50.

3. And a rose gold rechargeable electric lighter so you're always ready to set the mood. The lighter is wind and moisture proof so you can feel free to throw it in your bag for the next camping trip, too.
Promising review: "Wow. This thing is amazing. Small and so easy to use. My husband kept saying it won’t actually light anything and was blown away when it did. We lit candles and paper to use as tinder with absolutely no effort. No fuel needed. Just a quick recharging. And no waste in throwing away those huge and never easy to use butane sticks. Love love it. Easy buying process so I would recommend everyone buy one." —Diane Bold
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five colors).
4. A plush, double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set because after a long day, you deserve to sink into your own personal cloud. With faux fur on one side and velvet on the other, you'll be able to flip back and forth between two dreamy comfort options.
Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard thing thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pompom fringe is adorable." —Sk
Get it from Amazon for $62.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 27 colors).
5. A disco ball — adding a metallic element to your home can really elevate a room with a lot of muted tones.
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 $18.99+ (available in two colors).
6. Or, a hanging disco ball planter, a psychedelic planter with a drainage hole to help you take care of your plant babies. Fingers crossed that this groovy beauty lasts longer than your last plant.
Promising review: “This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it (it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope). Every day my whole living room becomes a party :) Cannot recommend enough.” —Phil
Get it from Amazon for $29.97.
7. A frameless mirror that'll fill that empty hole on your wall shelf and allow you to take one last look at that beat face before heading out the door. You look great dah'ling!
Promising review: "Super easy to set up. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it also looks like it’s art so it doesn’t have to be just for makeup or sitting on a vanity. I put this on my office desk so I can check my teeth and stuff throughout the day. It’s a really great piece to have around without seeming like a mirror." —Tasha
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. Or, a modern mirror display to creatively dress up any bare walls. They'll also help your room feel a little bigger as light bounces off of them!
Each mirror includes a small hook on the back for installation, but a lot of reviewers mentioned they just used Command strips to install.
Promising review: "I just moved to a new place and was really struggling with what to put on the walls. I found these in a BuzzFeed post and thought, 'Sure, let’s give it a try.' They were cheap enough that if they didn’t work out I wouldn’t be mad about the money spent. They ended up looking great though! They really helped pull together some of the wall space I had no clue what to do with. They add a bit of contemporary style, without feeling like I have to dedicate all the decor in my house to that style. Plus, they help brighten up the room. I have one set up in my living room and another in my bedroom. I might buy a third set to help add to both previous sets as these walls are huge, but so far I’m loving it. I don’t know about the adhesive part. I put them in with nails." —Jennifer
Get a set of seven from Amazon for $13.64.
9. A set of closet dividers that'll make it so much easier to keep track of your favorite pieces of clothing. You can have a section for your ~shut the party down~ outfits and a section for your everyday gear.
Promising review (from someone that's obvs not me): "I wish I would have bought these a long time ago. I was using baskets to store my folded items on the shelf but I kept forgetting what clothes I had and it also didn't look too great. I switched to these and they are great. These keep your folded items upright, your pile of clothes will not fall over. My shelves now look tidy and I can see all of my clothes." —Charmaine
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $22.99 (also available in a pack of eight).
10. A window film to bring a whimsical addition to your room while doubling as wall decor. Depending on where your windows are, adding this film will cause the sunlight to shine a rainbow-esque image on your wall. Two birds, one window.
Your home is going to be your little sanctuary of (private) happiness and isn't that just great?! 🌈😊
Promising review: "I have a large window in my bathroom and you can see in from the backyard. Not very private. I like the light but needed privacy, sheer curtains were not enough. This product is very easy to install, and I love the rainbows. This is the cheapest rainbow window cling I could find and it exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be doing more windows." —Ashley Barnes
Get it from Amazon for $10.49+ (available in nine size options).
11. A wall mount shelf you can put in the corner to serve as a display and a storage space that's out of the way of everything else. This shelf is a great option if you rent a room and need to maximize every space in your room without making it feel overcrowded.
Reviewers put this shelf in a variety of places like living rooms, bathrooms, and nurseries. You can use it to hold books or do even more decorating with family photos, candles, or small sculptures.
Promising review: "I LOVE this little shelf! I needed someplace up and out of my children’s reach for my Precious Moments statues. This is a perfect size and utilizes space I never even realized we had available. I would not recommend for picture frames 5 inches x 7 inches and larger, as each shelf is not very tall. Still, for little knickknacks and things you’d like to display, it is absolutely perfect and so cheap! Assembly was very easy — don’t overthink it, LOL — and installation was even easier." —Autumn Reese
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight colors).
12. A bright, handmade turtle planter to ~shell-ter~ your succulents.
Shelby Sells Co. is an Odessa, Texas-based shop with lots of cute planters, mugs, dog bandanas, and more!
Get it from Shelby Sells Co. on Etsy for $30 (available in four colors).
13. A bedside tray for easy access to your remote when you need to throw on something to fall asleep to. Might I recommend Lord of the Rings? It also has plenty of rooms for water, fruit snacks, and other items you might need in the middle of the night.
The tray is meant to adhere to most bed frames or rails. It's perfect for holding a thin laptop, tablet, your phone, your keys, and remote controllers. The brand asserts that the tray can hold up to 15 pounds.
Promising review: "I got the white wood shelfie... It is so cute. It's very easy to clamp to the bed frame and holds all your essentials perfectly level. I can tell that it is of high quality due to the thickness and smooth finish of the wood. I am very happy that I chose this one!" –Ocean Blue Diana
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in six styles).
14. A bed canopy to add an elegant draping to your bed, making it even more of a sanctuary.
Promising review: "I LOVE this canopy! It's great for the price. It takes a minute to figure out which way it goes on the bed but don’t get discouraged, you’ll figure it out. This is meant to hang from the ceiling but you can make it work on posts. I tied the hook strings around the bedpost and it holds great. It’s a great canopy." —Teka
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
15. A set of two string-of-pearls wall decals in case you're looking for a peel-and-stick option to liven up your walls. Enjoy the ambiance of greenery without the stress of having to keep a plant alive.
Promising review: "I LOVE how beautiful these are, like hand-painted beads on my little one's closet doors. They look great on a soft sage green background. There's a tiny bit of texture in the paint which you can see through the decal at the right angle, but most often guests assume I painted them myself! The smoother the surface the better, but I would definitely buy these again." —Alexis
Get it from Amazon for $11.29.
16. A mini trash can that's cute and tiny, perfect to store in a little corner of the room so it's not in your line of site. But, it's pretty enough so that if it is, you won't really mind.
Promising review: "Exactly the shade of pink that it appears online and is sooo cute. This little trash can matches the decor in my room. Perfect tiny size for a small space." —Pieisforme
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in 16 colors and three sizes).
17. A retro Bluetooth speaker just begging to play your favorite jams so you can dance it out like they do on Grey's Anatomy. It's Alexa compatible, too!
Promising review: "It’s so cute! I got it in flamingo pink, which my little one loves. It’s a shiny glossy finish — beautifully and elegantly made! It’s compact, small and portable. Very pleasant and satisfying shape aesthetically! Large power-on, volume, and pairing up buttons on the right underside and adorable blue indicator light on the left. It’s easy to pair with a phone and a laptop by Bluetooth. The sound is incredible for such a small device! Plus the built-in mic is great for using at home or in the car. It’s very convenient to charge by using a micro usb. I’m pleased with my purchase and would recommend to my friends." —Amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six colors).
18. A set of corduroy pillow covers astonishingly simple and modern to instantly upgrade your bed, futon, or chair. You can also put them on the floor with other pillows to make a little reading corner.
Promising review: "These pillow covers exceeded my expectations. I needed to cover up some older and worn decorative pillows, so I chose solid corduroy to accent my home colors. The cool thing about these covers is that, along with fitting well, the fabric is super soft! Most decorative pillow covers tend to be scratchy; we ACTUALLY use our pillows for naps, so this is great! The coverings easily slipped over my pillows, and the zipper closing worked with ease. The color was just as shown (blue). I will definitely order these again." —zbergteacher
Get a set of two covers from Amazon for $10.19+ (available in nine sizes and 22 colors).
If you're looking for affordable pillow inserts to match the covers, you can buy a pair of pillow inserts on Amazon for $13.99.
19. A set of clear tiered storage cubes you can use in a variety of ways. You might need extra storage for your favorite t-shirts, a display case for your plants and collectibles, a bookshelf, or a combination of all three. You can even arrange the nine cubes in any configuration you please!
Promising review: "Lightweight, sturdy, and svelte. Great to combine with boxes with open tops. Requires a decent amount of force to fully attach the joints to the metal panels. Once fully assembled with joints entirely engaged, the structure is VERY satisfyingly sturdy. Can easily lift the entire empty structure and feels rigid. Highly recommend for minimalistic modular organizer shelf." —Reviewer Person
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in six colors).
20. A hammock chair perfect for nestling in a small corner. This spot will easily become your fave for sipping your morning cold brew coffee while you scroll through the TikToks your bestie sent while you were sleeping.
Promising review: "This came in great shape, it was easy to set up, and it is comfy and sturdy. As a plus-size woman, I was a little concerned about how sturdy it would be, but it is great! I've never felt nervous about hopping into it and staying there until the mosquitoes come out." —Mal T
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors).
21. A pack of crystal dresser knobs to gussy up your dresser or nightstand. Oh what the heck, buy two packs so you can add them on your bathroom cabinets, too. Can you have too many sparkly gems? Nope!
Promising review: "The big crystal vibe is so not me. However, I am repurposing a cheap dresser and needed inexpensive, but cute knobs. When these showed up, I was so pleasantly surprised! These are actually beautiful and really not tacky. It classed up my dresser even more than the paint job and other tweaks. Really pleased, would recommend and buy again." —M
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 10 colors).
22. A crystal desk lamp with a hidden port in the back that'll bring a calming ~Je ne sais quoi~ to your sanctuary. It'll blend well in any room and your friends will wonder how you can afford such luxuries.
Promising review: "I was looking for a nightlight-type lamp to have on both sides of my bookcase bed headboard and found these. They are so pretty, very decorative, and work great when you need a quick soft light in the night because the turn-on switch is right on the base of the lamp and easy to locate in the dark. The crystals on the lamps make them very sparkly and elegant looking and match my bedside lamps perfectly. A great price too, and were easy to assemble." —DD Lee
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in sets of two and two colors).
23. An elegant glass reed diffuser here to ensure that those sweet smelling fragrances continue to flow through your room all day. There's nothing like coming home after a long day, opening your door and being smacked in the face by freshness.

Promising review: "The Tobacco Vanilla diffuser is unbelievably delicious smelling and the Clean Cotton candles are making my home cozy fresh as fall hits. The elegance and simplicity of the design makes these a new must have in my home decor and the scents add sooo much ambiance to all our rooms!! Will keep buying when they run out!" —Catherine Heider

24. A fluffy area rug to tie everything together in one ultra comfy bow. Stepping out on this soft rug in the morning might make getting out of bed a little bit easier.
Promising review: "Best rug EVER!! No seriously ... it is so soft! Bought this one for our living room. We have a similar rug we purchased at Lowes for three times the price for our bedroom and my husband and I decided that we would buy this one again instead. We are actually ordering two more for the baby's room and our middle daughter's room. So many people have complimented this rug and asked us to send them the link!" —Ashley Bryan

I can’t function at work without a dry erase board but couldn’t find any that would look nice in my office space which is in the corner of my master bedroom! Having functional office space but not LOOK like office in the bedroom is challenging but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it is very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." —Dawn Powell
Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $16.76+ (originally $23.95+; available in multiple thicknesses and sizes as well as four hardware colors).

Promising review: "I wanted to get rid of an old jewelery box I had and get something more sophisticated and grown-up. I had a hard time finding something that would be big enough for all my pieces, fit on my dresser, and look good. This does all these!!! My long necklaces fit on the tallest, back hanger and all my bracelets fit on the other two. The few rings and earrings I own display well on the bottom tray. It's a beautiful piece and I'm so happy I bought this!!" —Sarah Bailey

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
30. A lightweight floral medallion tapestry that'll take up a chunk of wall space so if you're not super into decorating, this piece will do most of the work for you. It's also a great starter if you're looking for a color scheme to pull from.

31. An elegant moon cycle garland if your space needs a dash of American Horror Story: Coven vibes.
Promising review: "I was pretty nervous ordering this because there weren't a ton of reviews on the gold moon phase. When this arrived I thought I would have to assemble it but it was already put together and nicely packaged so the chains didn't tangle! The quality is so much better than I expected and you can see in my pictures the moons are pretty thick/heavy. They gave me gold matching screws to hang it but I just used a thumbtack instead. Love this!" —Holly Grote
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
32. A set of airy linen curtains to make your bedroom feel like a scene out of a romance novel. The sheerness allows sunlight to still peek through when closed, too, for those of us who aren't vampires and actually like the light.
Promising review: "LOVE THESE. I didn't want something too sheer or lightweight, or heavy and dark; these are perfect. They have a beautiful drape, weight, and body to the fabric. There's a texture in the panels that dresses them down from a voile sheer, but they're not burlap-style rustic — they're refined and soft to the touch. They're well made; there were no flaws or weird smells in my order. I gave them a quick wash, a light dry, and they came out wrinkle-free and with no shrinkage. I ordered the taupe shade, and they're a perfect dark-beige/light-café-au-lait color. I highly recommend." —RKEldon
Get a set from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six lengths and seven colors).

Promising review: "I do not have the money for a new vanity right now. Insert DIY project to cover my ugly pink bathroom vanity with marble contact paper. It looks 100% better and it’s super durable. It’s a little tricky to work with at first and then you get the hang of it. I’m buying more for my half bath! My vanity looks so great that I decided to do the tabletop in my laundry room, and that looks great, too!" —Natalie Evans
Get it from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in four sizes).
