Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
2. A floating bookshelf for a seemingly ~magical~ way to show off your favorite books. It's a smart solution for small spaces that don't have enough room for a large bookcase.
Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes and in sets of one or three).
3. Some faux pampas grass plumes to place in a vase to instantly create a jaw-dropping focal point in any room you display it in. You'll love how voluminous it is, you'll try to sneak it into every picture you take in your house.
4. A three-bowl nut caddy with an agate handle because even snacktime deserves to be luxurious.
SereinDecor is a small business based in Chicago that creates stunning handmade home decor including cake stands, trays, coasters, and more.

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.
6. A sleek custom vinyl-topped side table guaranteed to become a conversation starter the second someone spots it. Place it near where you store your vinyl record collection to really bring the space together.
Living Deadwax is a Granger, Indiana-based shop that creates vinyl displays, side tables, and jacket trays.
Promising review: "I was beyond happy with this item. I bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband to add to his record room and he was blown away — he absolutely loved it. Seller did an amazing job!" —Mel
Get it from Living Deadwax on Etsy for $295+ (available in three heights, two wood options, and your choice of record).
7. 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 $8.98+ (available in 11 sizes).
8. A set of two velvet mid-century lounge chairs for putting together a sitting nook that looks straight out of an expertly designed hotel lobby.
9. 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).
10. 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 $21.89+ (available in three colors).
11. 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 $14.99 (available in five colors).
12. 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 $308.32.
13. 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 $32.99+ (available in two sizes and four designs).
14. 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!
Enjoy The Wood is a family-founded small biz based in Ukraine that makes gorgeous housewares and accessories crafted from wood and leather.
Promising review: "This is a beautifully crafted puzzle, really well made, wood is amazing!!! The packaging is really great, packed like an expensive gift — it was so much fun to put together!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Enjoy The Wood on Amazon Handmade for $49.20+ (available in three sizes and three design options).
15. A knitted, textured throw blanket that 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 $19.99+ (available in three sizes and 26 colors).
16. 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 $42.85+ (available in six sizes and six colors).
17. Or this braided area rug that'll 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 $29.60+ (originally $74+; available in 30 sizes and three color schemes).
18. A ceramic lips planter so dang cool, your lips won't be able to be sealed because you'll keep telling everyone how much you love it.

Get it from Shelby Sells Co. on Etsy for $22 (available in three colors).
19. Blackout 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: "I am beyond thrilled with these curtains, they are very soft and solid material (think heavyweight upholstery). LOVE THEM!!! They do keep the light out and help keep the room noticeably cooler — the windows get full sun all day; this room gets hot in summer and the curtains make it so much nicer. I'd give these curtains a 10 if I could." —Angelia Olson
Get them on Amazon for $29.99+ per 84" panel (available in four lengths and eight colors).
20. 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 $75+ (available in eight styles and three fabrics).
21. 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~.
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 $23.79+ (available in six colors).
22. A framed art print from the Jungalow collection at Target that gives off a sophisticated abstract vibe. Place it on your wall by itself to make a statement or use it as the main focus of your gallery wall.
Because it comes already framed and ready to be hung up, it's much more cost-effective than framing art on your own!
Jungalow is a Black-owned brand founded by Justina Blakeney. It started as an interior design blog focusing on maximalist style.
Promising review: "Colors are great and it has a nice texture that gives it just a little more something. The frame mimics walnut and it's really a nice addition to the print. We hung this up near the laundry closet to brighten up the space and it really makes that area just a little more pleasant." —LMKodat
Get it from Target for $50.
23. 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 $29.99+ (available in six colors and four weights).
24. 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.

25. An extremely classy Diana the Huntress bust to trick yourself into thinking you live in a fancy Grecian mansion overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. She makes a beautiful addition to any bookshelf or mantle.
Promising review: "This is perfect in my entryway and was exactly what I was looking for! It’s beautiful and sturdy in person and also a perfect size that doesn’t appear too over the top but really elevates the aesthetic of my home. Highly recommend!" —Deanna Smeragliuolo
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
26. A handmade floral coaster that will look positively stunning even just sitting there on your coffee table. It's equal parts pretty and practical — it'll protect the surfaces of your house from water stains while making you feel like you're in the middle of a garden.
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).
27. 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 $9.99+ (available in four sizes).
28. 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 $35.99+ (available in 12 colors).
29. 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?!
What's included: Pens, pen cup, stapler, tape dispenser, and desk tray.
Talking Out of Turn — also affectionately known as Toot — is a woman-led small business that creates most of its stationery and lifestyle goods in-house right outside of Dallas, Texas.
Get it from Talking Out of Turn for $40 (available in eight colors).
30. 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!
Get it from Novogratz for $249 (available in four colors).
31. A cool magnetic chess set if you're someone who likes for their decor to be multi-functional — not only does the 3D effect of the set look super cool on your wall, you can make a move every time you pass it in the hallway!
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.
32. A set of modern-looking geometric trays that you can use for special occasions or leave out all the time because of how attractive they are.
Promising review: "Nice serving tray! Like the color and size. Good for serving hot beverages. Also nice to display snacks and nuts during a party. Highly recommended!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $13.49.
33. A Samsung Frame TV if you don't want your living room decor to be taken over by an ugly, bulky TV. Just put on the "art mode" function and watch in amazement as it transforms into a beautiful (and very believable) piece of art.
Promising review: "It's 100% worth it. I know this TV is about $1,000 more expensive than its competitors. Yes, it has the same picture quality and functionality to other Samsung and LG TVs but the differentiator is the Art Mode function and yes, that's what you're paying for. Is it worth $1,000 for a 'screensaver' on your TV? Absolutely. Because unlike a screensaver, the Art Mode is completely matte and the quality is impressive. Everyone who has stepped into my living room has said 'nice painting' before I told them it's actually a TV — it's REALLY fun watching their facial expression as their brain comprehends that what they're staring at is not a painted picture. I am in love with this TV and would recommend it to anyone who wants a TV that doesn't look like a TV. Our goal was to purchase something that didn't take away from our stone wall fireplace, and this was just the thing." —Masha
Get it from Amazon for $545.43+ (available in six sizes and four frame colors).
34. 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 $15.99.
35. A retro wall plate to add 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).
36. 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 $28.27 (also available in blue).
37. An indoor/outdoor daybed cushion to make your outdoor space positively pretty in pink. They're perfect for lounging your Sunday away while reading a book.
This is designed to be used with Urban Outfitters' daybeds, but of course, it can also be used in a variety of ways. This is made with polyester and has a cotton lining. It's safe and easy to spot-clean and slightly over 26 pounds, so it's a heavy-duty piece of furniture.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $249.
38. 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 $14.44+ (available in four sizes).
