1. A chic over-the-door towel rack that saves major space in your bathroom and makes even the most affordable towels look fancy.
Promising review: "In my new apartment, there was only one towel rack, which made it frustrating for me and my roommate (and our boyfriends) when multiple people showered in one day. So I searched on Amazon, looking for something cheap, that would hang over the door, and could ideally hold at least two towels. This was perfect! It fit over my door, fits three towels, and the only frustrating part was putting the screws in. My screwdriver was a bit too big. However, once I set it up, it was good!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.53 (available in three colors).
2. A essential oil diffuser and humidifier to help moisten dry air in the summer, plus help freshen up the smell in your tiny apartment after cooking. It comes with the option to switch between seven different LED lights, all while letting out a light humidifying mist.
Promising review: "I love this oil diffuser humidifier! My apartment is so dry and this diffuser puts the right amount of moisture in the air for a very comfortable night's sleep. I use lavender and lemongrass essential oils with it and the place smells heavenly! Very easy to set up and clean, nothing to screw off and on. Just lift the top off, fill with water and oil and turn the unit on. I've been using it back and forth between my bedroom and living room. I will be purchasing another one very soon." —Ms Anne

5. A rain showerhead attachment that will make you feel like you're under a waterfall in a tropical rainforest or in one of those Herbal Essences commercials from the '90s.
Promising review: "I’m SO impressed. I wasn’t really expecting much, I thought for sure my shower wouldn’t have enough power to make the water run well but thought it was worth a shot for the price...holy hell! It’s literally like being under a waterfall, it took me no more than five minutes from unboxing to assemble and it looks chic, luxe and is the best shower I’ve had in a long time!" —Jackee

6. A faux-fur throw blanket that adds character to even the most bland furniture. It's soft, warm, and will give your living or bedroom quarters a chic instant facelift.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness, this throw has been sent down from Heaven, surely. It is the most luxurious throw that I have ever had, and I have quite a few, plus I wish that I could get it in the size of a king-size comforter. I have not washed it yet, but I bet that it launders very well. This is a PERFECT gift for a college student, grandmothers, or anyone that loves feminine items. I give it 5 stars." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $4.00 (per book).

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

Promising review: "Excellent, simple, chic. This magazine holder definitely adds a chic modern touch to a room with being so simple. It could be used anywhere and fit in perfectly. It holds a good amount of magazines and because of the design of the holder, the magazines sit on both sides without touching each other. I love this holder and love how it looks in my house. It is lightweight yet durable. It is perfect and I definitely recommend purchasing." —Mindy

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).

Promising review: "I love these pillows! I've had two since 2020, and they've held up wonderfully. The covers are nice and thick feeling, which gives them a more high-end feel, and the fabric is very well-stitched. We have a dog, and they have had no problems with her nails or the everyday wear and tear. I was super surprised to find that her hair also doesn't seem to stick to these! I'm hoping this brand comes out with solid-green covers in the exact same material so I can replace them. I highly recommend!" —Mary Alston
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes and nine colors).

Promising review: "I bought this tray to use in my bathroom, to hold various creams, serums, etc. It’s a perfect size for that, it’s lovely, and it's very sturdy — not at all light or cheap feeling. I’m super pleased with it, especially for the price!" —Jocelyn Merkel

Get it from Lanna Passa on Etsy for $30 (available in three sizes, three colors, and multiple styles).
18. A vine wall decal that will make your home look like one of those fancy estates. Thankfully, these are fake so you won't need a gardener.
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 that 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.
19. A marble adhesive film that will make your home look like a palace. *I* personally used these on my drab bathroom and counters and it looked like a luxury apartment afterward. (Psst, when I took it off there was no damage and I got my full deposit back).
Promising review: "Used a little more than one roll for a quick makeover for an ugly fireplace in a rental apartment. Easy to cover the tiles with the film, and could stretch the film out about one mm if I had cut the strip too short; makes a huge difference for minimal effort/price. Don't think anyone would be squinting down at the floor to notice the pixelated pattern." —zhen
Get a roll from Amazon for $12.24.
20. A four-pack of decorative geometric trays so can you get organized in a jiffy. Placing your jewelry, candles, supplies, and any other miscellaneous items will instantly make them look like an interesting piece of decor.
Promising review: "I absolutely loved it! I was looking for a tray from a famous designer and I got a better product and value for less than half the price, at the beginning I thought I was not going to like it that much because it is plastic but now that I have it I like it even more since the material is easier to clean, perfect to organize my desk, the colors are beautiful, and the shape and sizes are so playful. Two thumbs up!" —Nataly Tovar
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.99.

22. A stained-glass window decal to make it look like there is always a rainbow shining through your house. Positive vibes + beautiful scenery = a home you will never want to leave.
Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith
Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (10 roll sizes available).
23. Corner shelves because even the most basic furniture can't typically fit into that space. Filling up the corners of your room will make it seem wider and allow you to use up allllll that free real estate.
Promising review: "The shelves complement my living room perfectly. After ordering one initially, I ended up buying a second because it looks so good and was able to add decoration into corners of the living room that otherwise were too small to hang anything. I get so many compliments and I’m able to store all of my little trinkets and meaningful small things that are usually bound to get put away somewhere." —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in eight colors).
24. An under-cabinet wine glass rack to save space in your cupboards and keep them organized. The installation process is quick and easy — just mount the rack to the bottom of your cabinet with the included supplies. Plus, it will make your kitchen look like a fancy Italian winery.
Promising review: "We have really loved this wine rack. We’ve bought three! Created a bar out of an old entertainment center. The coloring was a perfect dark iron. Each row holds three champagne flutes or two wine glasses. Each rack has four rows. The wine racks were easy to install with short screws and the dimensions were spot on. Would highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.93+ (available in four colors and four sizes).
25. A 70-inch industrial floor lamp because there's no denying that a well-lit room looks more spacious. This tall, minimalist piece will make your ceiling look higher in comparison.
Lightbulbs are not included but reviewers mention that Edison lightbulbs work well with the lamps.
Promising review: "I have seen these sleek minimalist floor lamps for a good deal more money than what they are charging with this one, so while I ordered one, I kept my expectations low in case it was one of those 'you get what you pay for' things and I was more than a little surprised when it arrived. It looks and it feels just like the similar and much more expensive floor lamps available for purchase. I LOVE this look (with the Edison lightbulb) and will be ordering several more of these floor lamps!" —Dalene
Get it from Amazon $34.99 (available in four colors).
26. Sheer-green vine drapes to let some sunlight in and get beautiful plant decor without having to tend to it.
Promising review: "I have extra-tall windows in my sunroom. I decided to order 10 of these panels because they were so inexpensive and because the print would add a nice touch to all the plants, white wicker, etc. I LOVE THE WAY THIS LOOKS IN A SUNROOM. The quality is what you would expect for the price; the print is great but the seams pucker slightly. But when I put the 10 panels together, that all just worked together. My windows are now bright with leaves cascading down and the whole room is just fantastic because of these curtains." —Janice Briggs
Get them from Amazon for $11.16 (available in four sizes and nine colors).
27. A floating bookshelf so you can ditch that bulky traditional storage unit. But don't worry, these can hold a lot of novels, so you can still continue your tradition of buying books and never reading them.
Promising review: "If you are running out of space for your books, get these bad boys right away. They are incredibly strong, can hold several heavy books, and give your bedroom an incredible look." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in two sizes individually or as a set of three and in silver and white).
28. A handmade raw amethyst planter that can be used to hold anything from candles to crystals or plants. The stunning pot is carved with mercury glass, cement, concrete, and of course amethyst.
Desert Stardust Jewel is a small business that sells home decor, amethyst, sage, and gift bundles.
Promising review: "I purchased this as a birthday gift for a very close friend who loves plants. My friend loves the planter and said 'I gasped when I saw it!' So I think she really loves this and now I need one for myself." —Jessica Rabbit
Get it from Desert Stardust Jewelry on Etsy for $35 (available in two colors).
29. An abstract figurine sculpture, which looks like it would weigh a ton but is actually super lightweight. You can place this beautiful piece on your bookshelf or your nightstand and it will steal the show.
Promising review: "This piece was very well-made, it's simply beautiful and exactly what I'd hoped I'd get. It's the height of my forearm and is very lightweight. It doesn't look or feel like plastic, which I was worried about when I saw the weight. This is an excellent purchase; now I want more pieces like this one." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six styles).
30. Polished geode agate bookends because these gemstones are beautiful on their own but they can also help you organize your library. If books are the whipped cream of great decor, than these bookends are the cherry on top.
Promising review: "Love it, rocks are BEAUTIFUL. Showed up on time and these are great book holders. I have this across my fireplace mantle and have had nothing but compliments. Highly recommended for the crystal quality and I’ll definitely be ordering more in other colors in the future." —Gage
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
31. Hanging flower pots for anyone who loves minimalist decor but still wants to be a plant parent. You can still keep your space green and modest with these.
Promising review: "I love them! I had found a similar item in a gift shop for $40 for just one. I was concerned about quality when getting two for less. This was a great surprise. This is bigger than expected, sturdy, and will hold larger plants than you see here. I didn't have any plants to put in so I purchased two three-inch potted plants at the grocery store. Once they grow the planters will look even lovelier." —Deb G.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $31.99 (available in three colors).
32. A pink seashell pillow to make your house feel like a ~beach house~ even if you're living in a state that is perpetually freezing. BRB, I'm currently adding this to cart.
33. A three-tier bamboo shelf rack featuring a sleek design that doubles as storage and decor. It is perfect for small bathrooms because you can stuff rolls of toilet paper, plants, electronics, and/or beauty items on top, plus it can be mounted to the wall if you have limited floor space.
Promising review: "This is a great shelf for the bathroom. I wanted something slim and really liked the wooden slats. It is really sturdy and simple to put together." —Daniel Lowe
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors).
34. A gorgeous area rug with a color scheme that'll transport you to a sandy beach. Something about a rug makes every room look fancier because they usually cost an arm and a leg (but thankfully this one does not).
35. A modern velvet plush arm chair slipcover that will make sure toddlers and fur babies don't ruin your chances of being featured in Architectural Digest. Toss these on top of worn out loveseats and it'll look even better than it did when you first bought it.
Promising review: "It's better than I anticipated. It’s a perfect fit and the fabric is much nicer than I was expecting. It took me all of 30 seconds to put on. I was worried because my chair has loose back and seat cushions but it went on very well. My chair is a small/medium size. I don’t think This would fit on a very large chair well. Great way to revamp an expensive chair that no longer matched the room." —nikki
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight colors).
36. A peel-and-stick wall mural featuring art that's beautiful enough to be in the MoMA. Perfect for tricking anyone into thinking you're a ~connoisseur~ of fine art even though you're just using it to spruce up empty walls, desks, tables, and counters.

Get it from The Black Home for $14+ (available in six sizes and three colors).
