1. Cabinet pulls to give any room in your home an instant (and affordable) upgrade. Old, dingy handles not doing it for you anymore? These will deliver *the* perfect spring upgrade with minimal effort.
Heads up that some reviewers recommend purchasing your own screws instead of using the included ones.
Promising review: "Wow!! That's my first thought on opening these. I'm in the process of updating my master bathroom and saw these online. Of course, the bargain shopper I am, I checked my local stores. They had packs of 10 for $54...very lightweight. So I was scared of what I was getting here. These are almost 5 ounces each!! Very heavy quality, all individually wrapped with the screws for each. Definitely best quality and best price!!" —Margaret
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $25.97+ (available in various sizes, colors, and styles).
2. A vintage-inspired brass wall plate cover so you can liven up the boring white ones with something much more stylish.
Promising review: "Feels quality, not flimsy. Installed in a bathroom and adds a nice classy vintage touch to my switch. The metal is not highly reflective, closer to a brushed look. Great for disguising fingerprints and blends in with other non-reflective metal hardware. When the light switch is frequently the first thing someone looks at and reaches for in a room, having a quality cover like this gets noticed and enhances a room very easily. I can't believe I'm still writing about how much I enjoy a light switch cover." —Tom Generic Dude
Get it from Amazon for $8.31 (also available in a switch plate cover design and a combo design).
3. A set of corduroy pillow covers with pom-poms that'll look darling on your couch, even if the only thing on your agenda is to rewatch every single episode of The Vampire Diaries.
Psst! These are just pillow covers. If you don't have pillow inserts or pillows to fit the dimensions, you can get inserts for $11.99.
Promising review: "Obsessed!! Wanted a cute accent pillow to make my couch stylish and this was perfect! Accurate color, fit a 20x20 pillow perfectly! 10/10 would recommend and would def order again!" —Meg
Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sizes and 24 colors).
4. An LED light strip for transforming your basic mirror into a stunning vanity that belongs in a Hollywood dressing room. You'll also have adjustable lighting for your makeup routine!
Promising review: "It looks beautiful on my new vanity! The brightness is incredible, and I love the dimmer feature. To line my mirror, I used about half the roll, and I wish it came with another plug/dimmer for the second half! I’ll definitely be ordering them. The light is strong, and shows you ALL imperfections (which I guess is the point, but wow, surprise!!) I am now hooked, and I'm telling my husband all the things in our home that HAVE to be lined with lights!" —Jenni P.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
5. Front door paint if you've watched one too many home makeover shows and now you need to update your bland door. Instead of buying a whole new one, slather it in a coat of your fave shade!
Promising review: "We had a standard door from our builder and our door faces outward toward the sun in the mornings until about 2 p.m. Our wooden door looked horrible after a couple of years and we were looking to upgrade/replace. We then took a chance on this because it was a lot cheaper than buying a new door. It made our door look like a BRAND-NEW door after two coats. I couldn't believe how well this worked." —BulldogMW
Get it from Amazon for $45.95+ (available in 15 colors).
6. Some expensive-looking, light-blocking velvet curtains when you're searching for that final touch to flawlessly tie the whole room together.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these curtains! They are a nice heavy weight without being full blackout. The fabric is very soft and luxurious, especially for the price point. They drape beautifully and are the perfect pop of color." —Jonathan Prill
Get two panels from Amazon for $46.99 (available in four sizes and 35 colors).
7. Or some sheer curtains to let that gorgeous spring daylight in. If you can't bare to spare a smidge of natural light when decorating your space, these curtains were made for you. The room will feel bigger and brighter with these babies in the windows!
If you're not ready to part with your beloved blackout curtains, consider layering them with a set of sheers and simply tie them back when not in use!
Promising review: "I’m not huge into curtains because I love natural light, but I know that I kinda need curtains. These curtains allow natural light to come through while adding to the decor in the room. They are see-through, but it’s not so see through that your neighbor can see everything." —Dakota
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.88+ (available in 12 sizes and 17 colors).
8. A macramé plant hanger because being short on floor space doesn't mean you have to stop buying plants. These are aesthetically pleasing and they won't make your living space feel unbearably cramped.
They can hold planters anywhere from 4" to 10" in size and can hand from nails or hooks in the wall or ceiling.
Olivet Co. is a woman-owned Etsy shop based in LA making macrame garlands and wall hangings.
Promising review: "I love this shop!! This is my second plant holder and it’s gorgeous! The color (I ordered the purple) is beautiful and I will definitely be ordering again." —LeeAnne B.
Get it from Olivet Co. on Etsy for $4.80+ (originally $6+; available in 27 colors).
9. A table lamp so you can live your best bookworm life without having to turn on the blinding overhead light. Not sure how to decorate your empty nightstand? Problem solved!
Promising review: "The size is perfect for a two-drawer nightstand. The bottom has a soft smooth surface. I like the switch. It is an easy push button. I used electrical tape to adhere it to the back of the nightstand for easy accessibility. It gives lots of light for a minimalist lamp. It’s very effective without taking over the room with style and light." —Delilah McCullough
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 11 colors).
10. A bottle of wood polish and conditioner for a much-needed ~spring refresh~ that'll bring any sacred antique back to life. It's made with beeswax that'll instantly revive your sad furniture, doors, and more.
Promising review: "I have no regrets with this. I have a bunch of antique wood furniture. I have three particular tables that really need some love, especially in the wintertime and, up until this point, I was using some oil stuff that worked. For a minute. So I saw this and was like, I guess it seems legit. Over the weekend, I went after those tables with this stuff, and so far it's outlasted my oil by a long shot. I didn't do any special prep of the tables and just kind of went for it. I didn't glove up, so I did get messy. And if you're a train wreck like me; you'll want to wear old clothes while doing this, but I was happy that I could get this off my hands with just some normal hand soap. I let it sit and soak up for the advised time and came back through and buffed it. The pieces have never looked so good since I've had them." —Kid
Get a bottle on Amazon for $9.98.
11. Or for smaller jobs, a set of wood repair markers to get rid of those scuffs and scratches on your furniture. This quick and easy fix will have your stuff looking 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 review: "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
Get a set of 13 from Amazon for $8.99.
12. A transformative velvet slipcover if 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 have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors).
13. A mounted stemware holder that'll come in handy in small spaces where storage options are limited. Store your precious glasses by mounting this holder under a cabinet or floating shelf.
This rack holds 9–12 glasses depending on their size! If you're looking for some recommendations for wineglasses, we've got you covered.
Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wineglasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fit the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom
Get it from Amazon for $21.93+ (available in rows of three or four, multi-packs, and in four finishes).
14. A set of glass storage canisters because opening your pantry shouldn't give you nightmares. Get organized, save space, *and* make your storage look much more appealing. That's what I like to call a 3-for-1 upgrade!
This set includes 11.8", 8", 6.6", 5", and 4" canisters.
Promising reviews: "Very simple and elegant canisters. Adhesive works great and locks the jars very well. Adds a great touch to the kitchen and exactly as pictured." —Anela
"These canisters are beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. The seal on the lids works great and the glass isn't too thin which is what I worried about when researching containers. I love the variety of container sizes in this set. We will definitely be purchasing these again. They are an organizer's dream!" —Kathy C
Get a set of five from Amazon for $29.99.
15. And some sleek spice and pantry labels to slap on your food storage canisters so they're more organized (and prettier, of course). It'll be much easier to keep track of what needs to be added to the grocery list, too.

Honestly, I didn’t do the best job installing them but you can’t see any mistakes unless you really stare at them up close! So even if you don’t have a DIY thumb, you can do it!!
