1. A set of hairpin legs that'll ~elevate~ your current decor to a whole new level. You can add them to any “meh” pieces of furniture to give them a stylish upgrade.
2. A set of shower curtain hooks that'll enhance your bathroom's aesthetic. Thanks to the double-sided design, you’ll be able to change out your curtain and liner without having to dismantle the whole thing
3. A bold and eclectic art piece that'll add a striking layer to any wall that could use some livening up.
4. A hanging accent mirror with a leather strap that'll dress up your entryway, so you can peek your good looks before dashing out the door. It’ll make any small hallway or galley kitchen looks a lot bigger (who doesn't love a good optical illusion?).
5. A sheer curtain panel that’s way breezier than your heavy insulating ones. It has a hatched texture that’ll add some character to your space if things are looking a bit uninspired.
6. A retro Bluetooth speaker that’ll give your space a bit of old-school charm. It’s perfect for anyone obsessed with all things vintage, but who isn’t ready to ditch the convenience of Spotify (listen, I’ve spent a lot of time curating these playlists).
7. And this retro-style toaster with extra-wide slots that’ll fit even the chunkiest slices of artisanal bread. You’ll feel like you’re dining at a cute ’50s diner without ever having to leave home.
8. A pair of vegan leather cushion covers that’ll dress up your boring sofa pillows. They’ll look great solo or paired with all your fave blankets and other movie marathon ~accoutrements~.
9. A set of nearly-invisible floating shelves that you can use to display your smallest bits and bobs. Try mounting one by your bed to hold your phone, alarm clock, or glasses.
10. A set of faux potted succulents that’ll jazz up your entertainment unit or bathroom countertop. Reviewers say the plants are velvety to the touch and look just like the real deal.
11. A framed collection of modern art prints that'll take your walls from drab to fab in a heartbeat. They’ll add a touch of sophistication and a pop of colour to any space.
12. Or, if the look of oil-on-canvas is more your style, these simple orchid paintings that’ll add a bit of flower power to your room.
13. A set of hanging window planters so you can display your fresh herbs and flowers without sacrificing valuable counter space. You can adjust each pot individually whenever you wanna change up your decor vibes.
14. A stylish sofa slipcover that’ll breathe some new life into your old couch. It’ll protect your seating from spills, pets, and household debris and has a built-in elastic that’ll keep it locked in place.
15. A pair of rose gold towel rods that’ll help you keep your washcloths where you need them (instead of just draped wherever). Reviewers say you can even use them to upgrade old cabinets or to give your appliances a set of chic new handles.
17. And lastly, a frameless clock if you’re sick of traditional timepieces. If you’ve got a big wall, you can easily adjust the spacing between pieces (or even ditch a few if you’re tight on space).
