1. A string of faux ivy-entwined string lights that not only look fantastic, but are controlled via remote so you don't have to crawl out of bed and unplug them when you start to nod off.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed. I’ve given them to friends as gifts, I’ve set them up all around my house, I even have some in storage in case they stop working LOL. I highly recommend these. So cute." —samanthaww
Get them from Urban Outfitters for $16.
2. A wooden cutting board where you can craft a killer charcuterie board for any guests who come through to see your new decor. Leave a cheese cloth out on your counter, and they may even think you made the mozzarella by hand...
Promising review: "Many uses for this little board. I hang is on my accent wall and take it down when I want to use it. Great value for then money. Perfect for cheese and crackers with some fruit." —Lynn Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
3. A floating hidden bookshelf if you've run out of storage room or just want to show off your most impressive titles. If someone were to assume you read Infinite Jest in its entirety just because you have it on display...that's on them!
Also, the weight capacity on these is NO JOKE. Even the smaller ones hold up to 15 pounds, to the point where reviewers were balancing textbooks on 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 $11.99+ (available in two sizes individually or as a set of three and in silver and white).
4. An enchanting moon lamp that makes my Le Petit Prince-lovin' heart oh-so happy.
My colleague Emma Lord has one of these babies and says:
"UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top-selling products pages for so long that I was like 'Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!' And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite 'the internet made me do it' purchases."
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in seven sizes).
5. A plug-in wall sconce so you don't have to use your cellphone flashlight to find the remote that's lost in your duvet for the fifth time tonight. Plus, it doesn't require any electrical work! Just plug it in, and you're good to go.
Promising review: "These are perfect. They look great, work exactly like I need them to, and in our apartment, enable us to have reading lamps without a rewiring job since they just plug in. They also came with cute Edison-looking bulbs that fit in the sconce perfectly and match the look of the light very nicely. We're super pleased." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.45+ (available in two finishes).
6. A tasseled throw you can cuddle up underneath when the world is just too much to bear. Then, when you're done, you can artfully arrange it on the arm of your sofa.
Promising review: "I ordered the black background with white nubbies. Arrived timely and packaged well. It is beautiful and exactly as described. It is light weight and really not suitable for snuggling up and keeping warm, but I will be using it on my bed as accent decor only, so it is perfect!" —Baby It's Cold Outside
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four colors).
7. A twisty macrame plant holder so dang cute, it'll take your visitors a few extra minutes to realize that your philodendron has seen better days. (Oops 😬)
Promising review: "I love it! It's eye-catching and unique. Honestly, if they were in a boutique, they'd probably be priced $50+." —Stephanie C.
Get it from Amazon for $18.20+ (available in two sizes and colors).
8. A set of airy linen curtains that'll provide ample privacy but also let in ALL the light so you don't feel like you live in a cave. If you've been dying for linen ones but just don't have the budget, these are the next best thing.
I have these in white, and I just adore them. They let in SO much light (but still offer privacy), and I love that they have visible texture. I was originally searching for real linen curtains but didn't want to shell out the $$$. When I found these, I wasn't really expecting much but thought I'd give them a shot and wow — the quality is pretty incredible given the price. They're also rather lightweight. I have them strung up on a $2 rod I got at Ikea and so far so good!
Get a set from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in seven lengths and colors).
9. Or set of room-darkening velvet curtains if the only way you can get any shut-eye is What We Do in the Shadows-style pitch-black quarters.
Promising review: "Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight (which in the winter is a significant amount, especially in the northeast). Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" —Noname
Get them from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in five sizes and 18 colors colors).
10. A magazine/book rack where you can display the titles you *want* people to think you read. The New Yorker, Architectural Digest, and National Geographic? Why yes, ::adjusts bowtie:: I am that well-read.
Promising review: "I didn’t want anything too bulky on my nightstand but I like to have several books I like to read in bed. I previously had them stacked on top of each other and found this and was afraid it might be cheaply made but it is sturdy and beautiful! I’m such a bookworm and I am in love with this added piece to my room." —SP
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three finishes).
11. An acrylic dry erase board if you've got a long list of to-dos but hanging up a run-of-the-mill, aesthetic-ruining calendar or notepad isn't one of them.
1801 & Co. is a Minnesota-based, family-owned Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in family wall calendars, chore charts, wedding signs, and more.
Promising review: "I love it! I got it so fast after ordering and it’s perfect. I love the sleek design for my small home office space. 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 LOOKING like an office in the bedroom is challenging but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it has 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).
12. A faux-leather tissue box cover that makes your Kleenex a work of art instead of an eyesore.
Promising review: "This tissue box holder is lovely, it looks and feels like leather, but if you get a stain on it it cleans up beautifully. I cannot believe a tissue box can make a statement, but everyone who has seen it or used it says it is very unique and such a smart design." —saf
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).

15. A woven seagrass basket where you can store potted plants or just your Pokémon collection which is very much not your decor ~aesthetic~, but you're not ready to part with them!!!
Promising review: "I am really happy with this basket! It's exactly what I was looking for! I absolutely love the way my fiddle-leaf fig looks and fit in it! My pot is a 10 inches so I ordered the large basket. It was a little snug going in but it fits perfectly! The basket seems to be well made and sturdy. I definitely recommend it and will most likely order more!" —Jennifer M

Promising review: "Love love love these!!! They arrived quickly and packaged really well — which was a concern of mine. But they are sturdy and actually have a lil' weight to them. Looks great as a good accent in my bathroom but I could order more to put around the rest of my house!" —Rachel Knight
Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five finishes).
19. A delightful lil' cat planter if you (and I mean you... totally not talking about me) started out decorating your apartment with feline designs in an ~ironic~ way but have now just fully embraced your true cat-loving self — decor and all.
20. An egg-shaped bath mat that'll prevent any Humpty Dumpty-style slips or falls post shower so you can go earn that bacon! 🥓

The lightweight medallions can be cut, drilled, glued, or screwed to fit your space. Many reviewers note that they attached the medallion with double-sided tape before installing their light fixture which is what ultimately holds it in place.
Promising review: "This is amazing. It looks SO beautiful in my dining room. It's lightweight and easily held up by the light fixture we chose but could be stuck on with double-sided tape if you wanted. I love this. It adds so much character! I found others in big name hardware stores for around $50+... this was a great price and super quick shipping! Better than I imagined... would order again for SURE!! It's perfection!!! We get so many compliments on it!" —Jade Frost

24. A hammered gold moon phase garland if your space could use some witchy (think a la Stevie Nicks) energy.
Promising review: "Everything you’d expect it to be. Such a delicate and elegant feature for all us moon children out there. This shop is also exceptional in everything they do (at least from the three products I’ve bought from them so far they are extremely thoughtful in everything from packaging to follow-up, plus knowing I’m supporting a woman-owned small business is really the cherry on top of personal satisfaction besides the great product itself. Highly recommend 👌🙌👍" —fernanda kaufmann

27. And a three-drawer jewelry box that's so trendy, it doubles as decor. I'm v, v into acrylic furniture, and if you're looking to dip your toe into the trend, this is an affordable foray.
I have this jewelry box and I find it soooooo cute. I *love* that the top is clear so you can see your rings and whatever else is stored in the first drawer. I'm currently storing about 10 rings and three pairs of hoop earrings in the top tier, and six-ish necklaces in each of the bottom drawers. For roughly $20, I think the quality is also top notch. 👌🏻
