1. A transformative velvet slipcover when you're so completely done with your old sofa but you're not prepared to spend a fortune on a new one. Don't worry, it comes with straps to keep it secure so it won't slip off!
Promising review: "I never thought I could get so excited about a sofa cover! This IS THE one that had me filled with joy. It was easy to put on and fit great. It looks great, too. I had a really ugly sofa that was in great condition. I tried other sofa covers over the years that were fine and did the job. They would come off, fall apart, were difficult to put on, etc. NOT this one! This is a great product. It's soft and comfortable to sit on and looks great. Easy, durable, and attractive." —TGtoo

Check out our Rabbitgoo window film review for more on why it's worth buying!
Promising review: "Easy to use, installation was a breeze. Follow the instructions and the output is great. I love the colors when [the] sun rays pass through the window. This works as a privacy screen and [is] also decorative and ornamental. Highly recommend." —Shan

One roll of wallpaper measures 17.7 inches by 9.8 feet, which covers about 14.5 square feet.
Promising reviews: "This paper is super thick and durable. The texture feels like a luxury paper and hides all of the texture in my wall. I’ve never installed paper before, but it was super easy to do and adjust. It took me about three hours to do this wall not counting my breaks." —Amazon Customer
"I’m quite surprised by this wallpaper overall for our bathroom update. I will say that this wallpaper was definitely more beautiful in person and well worth the money.

One roll measures 20.5 inches by 18 feet, which covers about 30.75 square feet.
Promising review: "Our backsplash was granite, and I hated it. We plan to remodel the kitchen in a few years, but I needed a quick solution to update the kitchen for the time being. This wallpaper did the trick. It was easy to install, especially on smooth granite, and it looks real. I didn't tell anyone we applied it, and it fooled my best friend and Mom. They thought it was real until they touched it. I would love to have real brick eventually, but this wallpaper gave me the look I was going for." —Kendalynn
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
5. Front door paint for anyone who's watched one too many DIY shows and officially needs to give their door a makeover. Rather than buying a new one, slather it in a coat of your fave shade!
Promising review: "Quick and easy! You get a lot of paint in this one jar! I purchased the green, and it didn’t take more than two coats to cover my bright orange door. Very impressed with how quickly it dried and very happy with the end result of my front door! I even have half the jar to save for touchups." —Nicoleb
Get it from Amazon for $37.48+ (available in 15 colors).
6. A truly easy-to-install studless TV wall mount — you should be able to hang your television flush against the wall without paying a contractor to do the job. It can support up to 100 lbs, and it doesn't require studs, so it's a match made in heaven for renters.
Promising reviews: "This is one of the best products I’ve purchased on Amazon, period. I was not able to use a full motion mount like I wanted to because the interior drywall in my condo didn’t have wood studs, only thin metal beams. I ended up returning that mount (which was considerably more expensive), and I’m so glad that all happened because this worked out well beyond my expectations and looks so great and flush!! It’s high quality, the instructions are beyond clear (and funny-a theme with this brand), it’s super sturdy and strong, way more than the more expensive mount I had purchased before! I’m a user experience designer, and everything about this product is designed incredibly well, even the packaging, the attached leveling system that doubles as a locking mechanism is genius! The 32 nails are holding up my 46-lb 65” LG TV more than enough. If you’re looking for a drywall mount, look no further, you won’t regret it!" —Alfredo Diaz Suarez
"This product is amazing!!!!! I’m not mechanically inclined! I just watched the video and did it!!!! Very, very easy to do ALL BY MYSELF!!!! Very, very sturdy as well!!! For $40, you will not regret getting one or two or three!!! I just got it yesterday, put it up today, and already recommending it to everyone who’ll listen!!!" —Angela Ervin

7. Plus, a sound bar mount if you've *finally* made the leap and mounted your TV but now you have nowhere to put your sound bar. The depth can be adjusted to almost 7 inches, and it can support up to 20 pounds!
The sound bar mounting brackets can support up to 20 pounds, and the depth is adjustable up to 6.6 inches. It can easily be mounted on drywall OR wood studs and includes the hardware needed for both installation types!
Promising reviews: "I am so glad that I purchased the Soundbar Wall Mount Bracket for my Vizio M-Series Soundbar. The fit was perfect, and the brackets are extremely sturdy and heavy-duty. I have no doubt that this bracket will hold my soundbar securely for a long time to come. The installation process was also very easy and straightforward, and the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the Soundbar Wall Mount Bracket to anyone in need of a reliable and sturdy way to mount their soundbar." —Eddie Espinal
"Great mount! Sturdy. Easily adjusted. I had a hefty Bose center channel speaker that I could never quite figure out how to handle other than to put it on a cabinet. I thought about building a custom shelf but wasn’t loving the options I came up with. This is hefty and stable and clamps my speaker firmly. Super happy with the end result. Easy directions and ships with all the hardware you could possibly need for a solid installation. Would buy again!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99
8. Some life-changing cushion supports when your poor couch has seen better days. If yours is feeling lumpy or sinks in to the point of discomfort, try adding some cushion supports!
It's basically a piece of thick foam that you insert into the bottom of each cushion to plump up all the other layers, and a piece of thin foam that goes near the back of the cushion for extra support. So your couch will feel equally comfy but look brand new.
Promising review: "The sofas are sturdy and only three years old but several cushions were sagging. I ordered two of the large size for our live seat to try them out. I easily cut an inch off to have it fit with an Exacto knife. Easy to slide in, easy to close with my husband's help. The difference when sitting on the sofa is amazing. Firm and they feel like new cushions. I just ordered three more for the large sofa." —doris
Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ per kit (available in two sizes and as a two-pack; each kit fixes one cushion).
9. A fireplace mantle because you can love your old home to bits but hate the fact that it's missing a mantle. Installing your own is easier than you might think!

The covers are very easy to wipe off. They're also durable; I only have had to replace one after spilling wax on it. Highly recommended." —Mary R.

14. A wow-worthy leather recoloring balm to revive your sad leather furniture instead of spending a fortune replacing it. Yep, your guests will be oohing and ahhing over this upgrade for the foreseeable future.
You just rub it right into your leather. It can even help minimize the look of cat scratches, depending on how bad they are. Note that it's very important to test to see if it will work with your particular leather, because it's for absorbent leather only — you simply put a drop of water on your leather and see if it soaks in. If it does, this product works! (Here's a video; skip to 0:42.)
Promising review: "Amazing results, easy to use! Can I give it TEN stars? My hubby was ready to get rid of the set. It's SUCH a comfortable set, and well-built... scale was just right for our new home... I couldn't let that happen! I had cleaned the chair with a tiny amount of mild dish soap and water previous to the stain's arrival. I threw on some latex gloves, dipped my fingers into the gel, and started massaging it into the leather. Results were immediate and impressive!! AMAZING!!" —Muysson
Get a jar from Amazon for $29.95 (available in 16 colors).
15. Garage magnets which is, quite possibly, the quickest and easiest DIY upgrade ever. Just stick 'em on the door and you're done. You may have to confirm you pulled into the right driveway the first few times after installing these.
It includes four magnetic carriage-style gate hinges and two magnetic handles.
Promising review: "Easy upgrade. I’ve been wanting to upgrade our garage door for a long time and now I have no idea why I waited! The magnets are super strong. Purchased two sets but only used one set of handles. I wasn’t a fan of how close I had to place each set next to each other with the narrow spacing on the door itself. Paired with the magnetic windows, it looks like a brand new door!" —MrsPirate
Get it from Amazon for $11.10 (also available in four other styles).

Promising review: "It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. There is a layer of protective plastic film over the metal to keep it from getting scratched or damaged. It comes with matching screws. I pre-drilled the holes to make the installation easier. Easy upgrade project that can make your door more beautiful or is great for hiding damage." —kmr
Get it from Amazon for $37.05.
18. A touchless stainless steel faucet if you've been longing for a kitchen upgrade but don't know where to start. How about an easy-to-install faucet *with* a touchless sensor? Thank me later.
Promising reviews: "Easy install and it works great. I was worried that the sensor wouldn't work well... I was wrong. On and off with a wave of the hand. It also has an auto shutoff feature. Both spray features work perfectly as well. Great value." —Dave

19. Cabinet paint for a kitchen refresh so amazing, everyone will think you paid a pretty penny for it. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
The kit comes with two cans of cabinet paint, a roller arm, two roller covers, and an angled paint brush; it requires no stripping, priming, or top coat or sealer, and there's no need to remove your cabinet doors.
Promising review: "Amazing! Amazing! Amazing. Did take more than one coat though. My cabinets were bare wood and I still needed a couple of coats. (Five to be exact, but that was just me being extra.) My kitchen is medium-sized, not too big, and it only took up one can. But I still went over a couple more times just to get a nice coating. This took my kitchen from looking like a cheap rental apartment kitchen to a high-quality kitchen with just this paint and new knobs. The paint is perfect for cabinets — it's not too thick, so you still see the wood grains. It comes with EVERYTHING you need. I didn't have to buy a thing. The project is super easy, paint dries fast, and I did it at first by removing the cabinets but it wasn't necessary at all. Just make sure you don't leave any dripping because it would make your cabinets look cheap. I would recommend EVERYONE to purchase this and give your cabinets a chance before making a big investment in new cabinets. Wood is wood and it can be refinished." —Brandon Moronta
Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (available in eight colors).
20. Pre-made wall panels to make your home even more elegant with professional-grade wainscoting. All you need is some DIY enthusiasm, a nail gun, and some glue to achieve this lovely refresh!

21. A removable modern arch wall decal when you want to be creative in *the* simplest way possible. Adding a pop of color to the wall has never been so easy.

Promising reviews: "LOVE this decal! It is such good quality, easy to put up, and the colors really pop. Very, very happy with our purchase!" —Sierra Werner

Get it from Coloritto on Etsy for $4.27+ (originally $5.70+; available in 7 sizes and 12 colors).
22. A mini bottle of touch-up paint that'll mask any unsightly scuff marks or scratches around your home. Use it on your walls, furniture, cabinets, etc. It's no wonder renters *love* this stuff.
Promising review: "I usually don't leave reviews, but I have to with this touchup paint. I had cheap command hooks on my wall to hang up my curtains in my apartment, and they ended up falling off and damaging the wall. I brought this to cover it up since it was an eyesore, and this worked perfectly! Thankfully, I matched the right shade, and you can't even tell. It's easy to use and not messy at all. Once it dries, it instantly blends in. I'm glad it worked so well because now I can put more stuff on my walls and fix it with the paint so it won't affect my security deposit, LOL." —N.D.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in three sizes, 26 colors, and in sets of three).
23. Or for smaller jobs, a set of wood repair markers so you can get rid of those scuffs and scratches. This quick and easy DIY fix will have your stuff lookin' good as new in no time.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Abby Kass says: "I used a similar kit on my TV stand after moving it into my current apartment, and it worked great! It was super easy to use — you just color in the scratch. And you can't tell the difference. It's amazing! And next time I move, I'm def hiring movers."
Promising reviews: "I can’t believe how well these work! Much better than I was expecting. I just had my home interior painted, and the painters damaged a fiberboard medicine cabinet when they removed the masking tape. It ripped off the fake-wood veneer. These markers completely filled in the ugly spots, and the colors blended well. I love that it appears to have some clear coat in it, too, as it dries with a slight shine that makes it look more like wood stain rather than marker. I also used them to stain wood filler in two spots in my maple kitchen cabinets where a previous homeowner had hung a paper towel holder, and I really struggle to see the hole! It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this set. It’s a good value and works very well." —Shane
"These are great. I have several finishes on different pieces of furniture, and after several years, they were showing lots of scratches. Not anymore. Super easy to use and covered everything. Wasn't sure after paying such a minimal price that they'd work, but they really do." —Kindle Customer

Promising reviews: "I love this product. I moved into this house two years ago. I have a very high ceiling with recessed lighting and trying to figure out what to do if the lights burn out. So when I found this product, I immediately purchased them and had an electrician convert them with pendant lights. OMG! They improved the look of the room from a rather tired look to a designer look. Absolutely amazing product, and it took only a little over an hour to install two new pendant lights." —Amazon Customer
"Love this product! We wanted to replace our recess lights [with] hanging lights which are more modern. It looked like a daunting task, but we came across this Westinghouse item. Believe me, it is a game changer. This one is very easy to install." —KP
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $80.63 (also available as a two-pack).

Promising review: "I was redoing my kitchen and my fridge and stove are stainless steel but my dishwasher is not, and still works fine so I figured to try this to make it look stainless steel. It was very easy to do as I followed the directions. It looks amazing. People don’t even realize it’s not real stainless steel. So a cheaper quick fix and I love it." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $89.95.
27. Or a jaw-dropping enamel paint because your old, tired appliances deserve a transformation, too. Use it to revamp washers, dryers, bed frames, and more. All those scratches and rust stains? Buh-bye.

Promising reviews: "Oh my goodness! This stuff is amazing! I remodeled my bathroom, and the washer and dryer looked terrible. One coat of this and they look brand new! I’m going to add another coat today just to make it extra durable." —L. Hornberger

Get a quart from Amazon for $33.35.
28. A TV cord cover — you didn't do ALL that work of mounting your very expensive television just to have the aesthetic ruined with a mess of cords. This cover blends in so seamlessly with the wall, you'll have to squint to spot it.
Promising review: "These look great and are super easy to apply. This is the perfect solution for hiding a cord! It looks like it is just a part of the baseboard. Mine is covering a cable wire only, but I think they are big enough to hide more than one cord if needed. I didn’t cut mine, and I bought two. You can tell where the two meet if you look closely. However, I do not think anyone would notice. I can’t believe I let our cable cord sit across the floor for this long. I wish I would have found these sooner!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
29. An insulated soundproofing strip for anyone dealing with noisy neighbors and is ready to take matters into their own hands. It won't make them disappear, but it'll muffle unwanted sounds so you can watch your comfort show in peace for a change.
It *also* keeps cool air in your room!
Promising review: "Very easy to install, immediately made apartment warmer and reduced sound slightly. [The] product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation, I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out, until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Hernandez

31. A handy drywall repair putty to banish all the eyesores around the house making you feel uneasy. Simply apply it in a circular motion, then paint over it. DIY project complete!
Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —Amanda

Promising review: "Easy to put on. You just have to let the base coat dry and then start sponging the colors on. I am not crafty at all and I still can't believe what my countertop looks like. I am glad I gave it a try. So far it seems very durable. I do not cut on my counters or place hot pots or pans on there I always use pot holders. I LOVE MY NEW COUNTERS. It was much cheaper and easier than replacing them." —Sharon

Promising review: "Easy to use. My husband and I put this kit on all our windows in about one hour. I was afraid it would look terrible having plastic on the windows but after you shrink and trim it is not so noticeable and it does keep out any draft and the stink bugs. I am going to try putting on the outside this summer on the cat door window to keep out the ladybugs and stink bugs which are terrible in our area." —Kat M.

Promising reviews: "Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints and so far they've stayed usable, without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker and it works okay." —Hooked on AMZN!
"I was looking for a small pen to help touch up small areas of my walls. These were easy to fill, very clean application, and they don’t leak between uses. Great quality and a fitting name. The item is clear so you could fill the two applicators with different paint colors to differentiate easily. They’re about the size of a pen so easy to store." —pckish
