3. A set of balloon animal sculptures because they're just the cutest. These metallic puppers will look incredible on your favorite coffee table.

7. A classy white throw blanket to keep you cozy at all times. This gorgeous throw adds a touch of chic decor to your sitting areas while still maintaining that modern feel you're trying to achieve.
8. A four-cube bookshelf so you can keep your home super organized *and* chic. This unit is perfect for displaying decor or you can throw some bins in each cubby to hide some clutter.
9. A wooden C-shaped side table for those who are tired of having to reach forward to grab their drinks off the coffee table. This convenient piece can easily move with you anywhere in the living room for instant drink and remote access.

13. A super cute breadbox that'll make you smile every time you see it. While it has a retro feel, this colorful, modern accessory will pair well with any kitchen decor and add a touch of fun to your cooking station.
14. A single basket air fryer perfect for meals of one or to make a delicious, healthy side for your dinner party. This sleek, contemporary machine will look great on your countertop and take mealtime up a notch.
15. A black and white canvas print that adds a minimal yet modern touch to any home's decor. The simple line drawing is the perfect balance of sentiment and style.
16. A modern dining chair so you can sit in comfort and style. The curved back and metal legs make this chair a sleek addition and probably one of the coolest things you'll own.
17. A futuristic temperature-controlled smart mug because nothing screams modern like a mug that keeps itself hot while you drink it. No more sips of lukewarm coffee after 20 minutes — this keeps your drink warm for up to an hour and a half.
18. A 16-piece stoneware dining set so you can switch up that old plate set you've had for forever with these earth-toned ones. And no two are exactly the same so your dinnerware can be as unique as you.
19. A cheeky "Wash Your Hands" sign for the bathroom because there's no better way to state the obvious than in the form of a cute ceramic sign.
20. A 15-piece KitchenAid gadget set that your kitchen simply needs. This starter kit has all the essentials any baker or chef needs and will make you feel more settled in your home.
21. A utensil holder with a minimalist modern look for your counter. This adds just a bit more style than a classic stainless steel utensil holder but doesn't go over the top in its design.
22. A standing spoon rest that will instantly modernize your home. Say goodbye to the flat spoon rests of the past, your spoons sit upright when they aren't in use.
23. A Lazy Susan serving tray you can use for decorative purposes when you aren't entertaining and then pull out for an easy access charcuterie board on movie night.
24. A vanity organizer with a metal strip so all those clips and bobby pins you keep losing stay in one place. This is the future, people.
25. A gold napkin holder for an elegant yet understated look. This gives you a simple way to display your napkins while maintaining a beautiful, modern style on your counter or table.
26. A faux fur sheepskin throw blanket that will look so refined on your bed. The geometric shape of this blanket takes it up a notch from classic throw blankets but has that contemporary charm you've been going for.
27. A wire storage basket to keep all your essentials tucked away in a super cute fashion. The gold nameplates give these sleek wire baskets that little something extra so they don't feel like cheap finds.
28. A shoe rack because modern definitely doesn't mean unorganized. Place this at your entryway or even by your back door to slip your shoes onto so you don't track dirt into the house after taking the dog for a walk.
29. A minimalist doormat that simply greets your guests for you. The classic black with gold lettering feels elevated in style but still gives off that contemporary decor look.
30. A shower curtain with a sleek understated look that still adds a pop of color to your bathroom without overwhelming the whole vibe you were going for.
31. And a kitchen conversion plaque so you can add contemporary style and *essential* information to your home in the form of a simple wall decoration. This will be so handy when you don't have to Google these conversions and can simply glance up at your plaque!
We love a good home upgrade!
