Promising review: "Oh my god I am obsessed with this. This is literally my favorite purchase I've made on this website. When I got it I was so excited. The paint is very vibrant and pretty and it's a lot bigger than I thought. I'm in love with this vase and I think you will be too. You need to get this." —Jenna
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
4. A decorative window film to create a stained-glass effect that will cast beautiful rainbow light all around your house. It's also a great way to add some privacy on windows where you can't easily place curtains or blinds.
Promising review: "I have a weird skinny window in my house where no normal window covering works. People walking on our community trail can see up into our upstairs bathroom when the light is on and it's dark outside. Not a good plan at all. So I used this window film and cut different-sized circles and placed then on this window to interrupt the view into the house. Worked perfectly! Very easy to use." —Marsgard
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in nine sizes).
5. A retro wall plate for a pop of color in an unexpected but highly frequented part of your house. It'll leave you feeling like you're living in The Jetsons house.
Atomic Surplus is a small business based in Idaho that handmakes atomic-age accessories.
Promising review: "These plates are fantastic and Sam is great to work with. I placed a large order and changed out every plate in the house. They look fantastic and I'm so happy I stumbled on Atomic Surplus. What a terrific find." —Meg Morton
Get it from Atomic Surplus on Etsy for $30+ (available in 16 styles and 10 colors).
6. A set of two velvet mid-century lounge chairs — you can create a sitting nook that looks straight out of an expertly designed hotel lobby.
7. A beaded bohemian chandelier if you want a beautiful light fixture but don't want the traditional, crystal-heavy look. The beadwork on this still gives that wow factor chandeliers are known for, and the simple design won't look too gaudy or overpowering in your space.
Promising review: "Love this light fixture! I have it in my kitchen. Really adds to the boho vibe. If you have a handyman around I'm sure they could install it. My husband did it in about an hour or so. Beware: It is rather large and in charge, but beautiful! May not suit a small area. In addition, the light bulbs it comes with are not dimmable so you may want to purchase three of those if you need it to dim. Very happy with the purchase overall!" —Sierra
Get it from Amazon for $127.91+ (available in three colors).
8. A vintage-inspired mirror with serious Pride & Prejudice vibes — this definitely looks like something Lizzy Bennet would stare into all day while contemplating her feelings for Mr. Darcy.
Many reviewers use this mirror as a decorative tray to store jewelry or perfume!
Promising review: "I love them!!! What I was looking for were gold and white mirrors. The only ones I could find were expensive and had that cheap gold look. I use these mirrors on my wall in the bathroom. They look better than the picture, very elegant and antique and expensive. I purchased two of them because of the size, which turned out perfect. I would buy again." —Trevor Lang
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in three colors).
9. Or a set of these three decorative mirrors to liven up an entryway or add a pretty focal point to the blank wall above your couch.
Promising review: "I love how the mirrors look exactly the same in person as they do in the pictures. They're actually prettier in person and I appreciate how lightweight they are, making it easier to hang on the wall even using nailless hangers." —Y. Boyd
Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five colors).
10. A wicker hanging chair if you feel like your patio is missing something — just imagine how luxurious it will feel come summertime when you're reading your favorite book or catching up with friends while sitting in this!
The hanging chair comes with a 78.5-inch chain but you will need to buy a mounting kit or hire a professional to install it.
Promising review: "I was blown away as to how comfortable this chair is — so is everyone else who tries it. Looks great, feels great, and so far has not discolored despite being outside (under shaded area). If I had the room, I'd order several more as regular chairs seem pretty dull by comparison. Unless you're confident in locating your ceiling joists (and reinforcing if needed) I'd advise you to get a tradesman in to mount this. It's not difficult, but does need a considered installation. Think about all your weight + chair + lapdog +... being supported by a single mounting point to the ceiling..." —ConferenceKing
Get it from Amazon for $307.72.
11. A sleek serving tray that looks so sophisticated, people will think you spent so much more on it than you actually did. Look at how gorgeous that green color looks against the gold!
Promising review: "The tray is an attractive contemporary design and easy to handle. Glasses, mugs, and smaller breakfast/lunch/appetizer plates or bowls fit on it. I both got one for myself and for my best friend’s birthday. My lovely friend who has a low-key aesthetic, mid-century house in California really did love the tray. She told me she uses it to bring her breakfast out of her kitchen most mornings to a more relaxing spot." —N. Erdmann
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in two sizes and four designs).
12. A stunning 3D wooden wall map if you have a blank wall in your house and you're looking for some wall art that will truly impress everyone who walks in. This is also really great to put in a kid's room — it's beautiful and educational at the same time!

13. A set of gorgeously lush velvet pillow covers that come in over 30 colors — feel free to mix and match to create the perfect color scheme that complements your home's decor.
Promising review: "This is the second set of these I've purchased (bought two different colors to change out when one set is in the laundry), and I completely love them. They are so soft, easy to put the pillows into, and they come out of the laundry looking brand new. Get a couple of different colors and switch out for holidays, or when desiring a quick, easy decor change. I highly recommend them." —Melanie Mastin
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 12 sizes and in 36 colors).
14. A knitted, textured throw blanket — it might just be the softest, most luxurious blanket you've ever felt. Did I mention how it looks super sophisticated draped across your couch or bed?
Promising review: "If you're looking for a nice pop of color in a neutral room, this is it! I inspected the throw carefully and found no issues. No holes or messed-up fringe. Aside from the color, I absolutely love the pattern which adds a simple but noticeable texture over clean white sheets. The throw is lightweight enough that I can see myself using it over the summer but warm enough to keep me cozy in between seasons." —Rosalyn
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and 26 colors).
15. A faux cowhide rug if you want that subtly western look in your house but aren't about having a real cowhide in your house for either ethical or budget reasons. This won't break the bank, and you'll be so pleased with how much this asymmetrical rug can transform your space.
Promising review: "I have owned huge, real hides in the past and paid $500 to $700. I ordered this hoping it would be cute but worried a bit that it would look cheap. Well, it is Amazon, so I knew I could return it and made the leap. SOOOOOO HAPPY I did! It looks real and the gold adds such whimsy! I sprayed with a water/stain repellent and laid the little beauty in my kitchen. Looks AWESOME! My home is mid-century modern with gorgeous high-end pieces and art. This lovely gem is on my tile floor adds such warmth and joy. When the light comes through the windows and lights up the gold, I cannot help but smile! Amazing and fun! LOVE!!!!! Would ABSOLUTELY purchase over and over and over! Perfection!" —Frog Hop
Get it from Amazon for $48.55+ (available in six sizes and six colors).
16. Or this braided area rug to give your room the oomph it needs. Seriously — this thing is so gorgeous, you could place it in your living room and not have to add much other decor.
Promising review: "I love Rugs USA and it's the only place I buy my rugs! This new addition is so beautiful in my entryway and the colors are so vibrant and I think it's durable enough to last several years, and it was a great price, too!!" —Vanessa Z.
Get it from Rugs USA for $32.60+ (originally $81.50+; available in 30 sizes and three color schemes).
17. Velvet curtains that are as beautiful as they are functional. Hang them high and wide, like in the photo below, to make your windows appear bigger!
Promising review: "These are beautiful curtains! Certainly feel like they are from a swanky hotel. They are right in the middle of heavy to light. I don’t use them for blackout purposes only for decor. They would block light but it wouldn’t be fully blackout. For the price you can’t beat the quality and the look." —Jennifer Lou
Get them on Amazon for $29.99+ per 84" panel (available in four lengths and eight colors).
18. A dog bed, which is much more pleasing to look at than those ugly, lumpy dog beds from the pet store. These actually come in colorful, fun patterns that complement your home decor instead of sticking out like an eyesore.
You'll love the machine-washable knitted cover if your pup is accident-prone!
Laylo is a woman-founded small business that believes form is just as important as function. They update designs every few months, in keeping with global trends. Laylo is based in Brooklyn, New York.
Promising review: "This dog bed came quickly and is incredibly durable. We got this for our older large dog and have two puppies (nonstop chewers) in the house. This bed has held up so well to the pups teething on everything and the ability to clean the cover is priceless, in addition to the sleek, classy design. It has a nonslip bottom unlike any other bed I've seen, again incredibly durable. Looking forward to purchasing more for the smaller dogs soon." —malletangel2003
Get it from Laylo Pets on Etsy for $49+ (available in eight styles and three fabrics).
19. A 20-piece set of rainbow or rose-gold flatware that's eye-catching, playful, and anything but boring. It'll make every dinner you spend at home feel like an ~event~.
You'll receive four sets of flatware, each set with a dinner spoon, a dinner fork, a dinner knife, a teaspoon, and a tea fork.
Promising review: "Purchased two sets for my new apartment and have had them a week. They are a perfect weight and did not arrive damaged. I hand wash them only with fragrance-free Seventh Generation soap. If you put them in the dishwasher or use acidic soaps (with orange or lemon scents) the gold will wear. However, this is for ANY set of copper-/gold-plated silverware even if it comes from Crate & Barrel, which is quadruple the cost. Perfect value and looking forward to continued use at my new home." —Keiana M.
Get them from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in nine colors).
20. A set of geode bookends to place around your favorite books so visitors will be sure to notice how well-read you are.
They also look pretty dang gorgeous just sitting there by themselves!
Promising review: "Love it — the rocks are BEAUTIFUL. These are great book holders. I have them 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. Thanks." —Gage
Get a pair from Amazon for $28.88+ (available in six colors and four weights).
21. A minimalistic personalized pet portrait because let's be real — your furry friend is the most important person in the house, and they deserve to be honored accordingly.

22. An abstract and artsy shower curtain — you deserve to be surrounded by beauty even when you're scrubbing your pits in the morning!
Promising review: "Cute shower curtain to mix up the bathroom. The print is very cute and goes well with the light pink tiles in my bathroom. The print is very accurate to the picture, colors are just as vibrant, and the picture is clear. It is as good of a shower curtain as any; not particularly nice but it's not see-through and it dries quickly when it gets wet." —Nicole Adler
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes).
23. A colorful mechanical keyboard with a matching wireless mouse because if you're going to be typing away for eight hours a day, you might as well make your work setup a little more bright and cheerful!
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quick but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse and it's on again. I have had it for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style! It was delivered fast, packaging was great." —Nikki Bell
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 12 colors).
24. And this coordinated desk set if buying all of your office supplies in one bright color hue makes you happy. Who knew a stapler could be so cute?!

BTW — Poppy & Pour is a California-based small business that has been creating custom flower coasters, keychains, and more since 2020.
Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! It's hard to get a good photo of resin without reflections or light so trust me when I say this is even more beautiful in person! Seller gave me exactly what I requested and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Highly highly recommended!" —nlivnil
Get it from Poppy & Pour on Etsy for $14+ (available with or without golden rim).
26. An outdoor bistro set — it's the colorful addition your patio or balcony has been missing. It'll make you feel like you're dining at a hip outdoor cafe!

Winding Hills Designs is a small family business that mills their own wood, designs their own art, and assembles all of their products near the foothills of the Rockies.
Promising review: "I looked through a lot of different sets before deciding on this one. My boyfriend wanted a chess set but doesn't have a lot of table space, and he has a cat so I was afraid she would knock the pieces over or eat them. He loves wall art so this was the perfect solution! This also shipped so fast! I think I received it within two days of ordering. WOW!" —Andrea Sanchez
Get it from WindingHillsDesigns on Etsy for $69.
29. Some trendy Edison bulbs that give a cool, industrial-chic vibe to your space. Use these to replace all your current bulbs or hang them by themselves with this extension cable for a vintage feel.
Promising review: "I'm in love. These Edison bulbs are a phenomenal addition to just about any room in the home. I bought these bulbs for my bedside table lamps. They're a perfect addition to my Steampunk industrial themed bedroom. Definitely recommend these Edison bulbs. Side note: my bedside table lamps are touch lamps with three dimming levels. The bulbs work on all three dimming levels." —Zachary
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.74.
30. Or this color-changing, dimmable bulb so you can give your room a romantic rosy vibe one night and a cozy blue hue the next.
Plus, these bulbs come with a lot of super-cool features! You can set specific times for the bulbs to turn on and off, use their "sunrise" and "sunset" modes to ease you in and out of the day, sync with your music so the lights change based on the rhythms and dynamics of your favorite songs, AND you can use your camera and photos to select the specific color you want your bulb to match.
Promising review: "I love this lightbulb! The app you download for it is very user friendly, and I adapted to it very quickly. You can adjust brightness and the color all from your phone. One of my favorite features is 'scene.' It has a variety of options like 'romantic,' 'reading,' and the coolest in my opinion: 'sunrise/sunset.' Over the span of 15 minutes, it mimics the colors of a sunrise/sunset. It goes from red, to orange, to purple, etc. It’s a very cool light bulb and I recommend it to all of my friends." —Kristina Adamik
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
31. This removable botanical wallpaper you could apply to the walls of your closet to make you feel like you're shopping at a fancy designer store every time you get dressed.
One roll measures 20.5"x18' and covers about 30.75 square feet.
Promising review: "This wallpaper is not sticky, it is tacky. That’s what allows it to be removed without damaging the wall. I was able to reposition it once or twice on a freshly painted eggshell-finish wall. I think people who are having issues with it falling down are either putting it on flat paint or a dirty wall. Make sure to wash off your wall before trying to put this up otherwise it will just stick to the dust then fall off. I found the pattern easy to line up, it repeats perfectly. The background of the print almost makes it look like it is made from linen." —C. Schaffer
Get it from Amazon for $34.29 (also available in blue).
32. An upholstered bed frame with a wingback headboard if you're looking to upgrade from your simple metal bed frame and desire something bold, structured, and colorful.
Promising review: "This frame and headboard are perfect. I absolutely love everything about this. The wings on the side actually help to contain your pillows as well as give it such a unique appearance. My only complaint was the instructions weren’t in the box, but I reached out to the seller and they provided me with the PDF file within 24 hours. This thing is extremely sturdy once it’s all together. If you want a taller headboard (saw some complaints on here about it being short), do away with your box spring. This was well worth the price and I would buy another in a heartbeat." —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in sizes full–king and five colors).
33. An impressively detailed, dual color moon-shaped light that looks downright haunting sitting on your nightstand. You'll love being able to hold the light in your hand and pretend you're harnessing some very powerful magic.
Promising review: "I originally bought the 7-inch moon for my husband as a gift of 'I love you to the moon and back' for our anniversary... Well, I loved his moon so much that I kept stealing it from our bedroom and taking it to the living room. So I bought myself the 5.9-inch moon to compare sizes and have one to call my own. As it turns out, the slightly smaller 5.9-inch one is just as amazing as the seven-inch. These moons charge up fast with a cord (with a cool 'blue moon' color when charging) and then once charged, they are completely free from cords or any connection dependence. They light up with a very detailed real moon surface design in white or yellow, and it will totally mesmerize you. You can literally 'hold the whole moon in your hand' and use it as a cordless and battery-free lamp, a nightlight, a lantern or quasi-candle in the dark. The wood stand is sleek and super easy to assemble, and is a perfect accent to any room décor. These moons are the best gift for friends, family, co-workers, kids, pets and spouses. My #1 purchase pick for 2020!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes).
34. A locker-style cabinet giving me some serious Saved By the Bell energy. It would be super useful in an entryway to place your coats and shoes.
Get it from Novogratz for $289 (available in five colors).
35. These book sets you can request in whatever color you want if you're looking for that color-coordinated look on your bookshelves. These are actual repurposed books, which means you'll be giving old, forgotten novels a new life!
You might even find your new favorite book in your book set!

Promising review: "If you've been looking for decorative books, then look no more — you've found your shop! Colors are true to photos and I love how they were real books! Not those hallow, fake ones you see. This made decorating very easy, fast shipping, and quality suburb. Will be ordering more from here in the future!" —JH2

36. A faux-fur seat cushion that will not only make your plastic office chair much more comfortable, but it will also add a delightful pop of color to brighten up your work day.
Promising review: "I use this little square in my Aeron-style office chair to make it more comfy and soft. I often wear shorts (it's OK, I work at home LOL) and like the soft texture vs. the chair material on my legs. I try to rotate the furry square and shake it out daily since it's getting a LOT of use. I'll probably have to replace it in a year, but for this price, I don't mind!!! A+++++" —LAE
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 11 colors).
