We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A battery-operated fabric shaver to help get rid of all those snags and pills making your furniture look tired and worn. It's like a tiny vacuum; just empty the detachable lint catcher when you're done and enjoy your revitalized sofa.
Also, be sure to pick up two AA batteries! They're not included.
It kills me inside when I see a favorite sweater start to pill, so I bought this exact shaver to spruce up some of my older knits. It's great and weirdly relaxing. When I first got it, I was de-pilling everything, from the intended sweaters to the throw pillows on our couch. It's a little loud, so your roommates may or may not come out of their rooms to see what you're doing...but it's totally worth it to make any pilled fabric look years younger.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).
2. An adjustable recessed light converter kit because now you can finally give in and get those FAB pendant lamps you've been eyeing since forever.
Promising review: "I love this thing. It took me about 15 minutes to install this. Note: Don't try to drill the screws through the can directly. You will likely need to pre-drill holes in the can for the screws. I converted a recessed light into a 3-light unit that hangs above my kitchen island. The unit weighs 20 pounds, and the conversion kit handles it easily. This saves so much money instead of having to convert the recessed light to a traditional electrical box. Very simple, yet wonderful product." —Pete I.
Get it from Amazon for $24.97.
3. A large woven storage basket for tossing everything that doesn't match your aesthetic into something functional that does!
Promising review: "Love this basket. I was looking at a $130 Room version and am so glad I found this one. It is high quality and looks expensive." —Jennifer Barnes
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
4. A dreamy dimmable candle warmer lamp that looks so darn good even when it's not releasing fresh scents from your fire hazard of a candle.
Promising review: "Serves a double duty. Turn the lamp on and put a candle in a glass on the base, and as it melts, it gives off a wonderful scent of your choice. VERY charming to the eye, and the light itself is glowing. Would definitely recommend buying this item." —Destiny fate
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in seven styles).
5. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip if you're tired of bulky plugs and tangled cords being a big eyesore and preventing you from actually pushing furniture flush up against the wall.
Promising review: "This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, and is clean-looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in 10 styles).
6. A dreamy cloud light so you can really bring your signature "head in the clouds" energy to your home. This fluffy wonder can change colors, simulate lightning clouds, and even has a smart music mode, which is unnecessarily cool if you ask me.
Promising review: "My child has been asking for a cloudscape on her wall/ceiling for some time now, and after I saw this product and the reviews, I took a risk and bought two of them. I was shocked at how many accessories for hanging these up and securing the cords to the ceiling and wall came with the product. And the options for different types of hanging and adhesion were plentiful. I was able to hang the clouds up in probably a total of 10 minutes. After fluffing the clouds a bit and letting my daughter pick the exact right spot, we were so happy with the result! The brightness, color options, pattern options, etc were endless. My daughter enjoys having the app on her phone because it makes it fun to create the mood she is looking for, depending on the occasion (she also likes to mess with me by making them blink or change when she's not in the room and I am in there picking up laundry or what have you). She also enjoys having the timer feature so that she can go to sleep with it on. Overall, I'm very impressed and highly recommend this product!" —JHay
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
7. A slender storage cabinet to transform that dead space in the corner into an aesthetic home for extra TP, cleaning supplies, and tissues.
Promising review: "So easy to put together I could put it together with my eyes closed. Fit amazingly perfectly between the tub and the toilet, and it has created so much more space, and my bathroom is no longer cluttered because of this product." —COS45B
Get it from Amazon for $14.32+ (available in 3 sizes and 10 styles).
8. A set of furniture repair markers and wax sticks because a little wear and tear doesn't have to mean a full-scale replacement. Find the right color, give any scratches a few swipes, and your worn-out vanity will be looking good as new.
They're designed for smaller scratches on wood furniture, wood laminate furniture (like the stuff from Ikea), and wood or wood-like floors. The kit includes markers *and* wax sticks in six colors: maple, oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, and black. And yes, the sharpener for the wax sticks is included, too.
Promising review: "These worked great. I had a bathroom vanity that had a few scratches on it. The markers covered them up beautifully and matched very well. There are a few color options to likely match whatever furniture you're trying to patch up." —Bri D
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
9. An acrylic book-shaped vase for making your grocery store bouquet look like a custom display, while simultaneously reminding every that, well yes, you do read. Thank you for noticing.
Check out a TikTok of the book vase in action here.
Promising review: "The vase was so pretty I bought a second! They're durable and very appealing to the eye. I will be purchasing more." —kayla
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
10. A stick-on prismatic window film that doubles as a privacy screen for a curtain alternative with big visual impact.
Check out our full write-up on this rainbow window film.
Promising review: "SO EASY TO INSTALL! I was expecting more difficulties but had none at all. The light prism effect gives my apartment a very whimsical feeling that I love. Now I don’t have to worry about people looking into my apartment. However, keep in mind at night people can probably still kinda see through. Do what you will with that info lol." —Violinanonymous
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
11. A famous Little Green upholstery cleaner if you want to be shocked and awed by this machine's ability to suck up messes and restore furniture, carpets, and even car interiors to a baseline clean you never thought you'd see again.
Promising review: "There are NO WORDS for me to truly RAVE about this product!!! My house burned down in May 😔 and this is the first and only 'appliance' I've replaced so far, and that's because I LITERALLY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT! It's an absolute MUST-HAVE if you have PETS OR KIDS! It's fast and WILDLY EFFICIENT! As well as lightweight and fairly easy to store. Bissell, I ADORE YOU and would never hesitate to re-buy this product or anything else you sell because you've got upholstery cleaning down to a freaking science! Thank you for producing a product as reliable as this! As previously stated, THANK YOU for making my life SO MUCH EASIER!!!" —Laura jackson
Get it from Amazon for $120.39.
12. A retro radio tissue box cover so you no longer have to decide between easily-accessible tissues and the aesthetic nightstand display of your dreams.
Psst — this is compatible with tissues from a small cube box, or just tissues pulled out of the box, not a full size one!
Promising review: "It's adorable! I currently have it filled with tissues from a small cube box. Works great! Perfect addition to my teal and gold bedroom decor!" —Michelle W
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
13. A luxurious bed canopy to turn your room into a fantasy suite without going out and buying a whole new four-post bed frame. This whimsical addition just might make leaving bed even more difficult than it already is — you've been warned!
The kit includes one canopy net, four hanging hooks, four wall anchors, and tie-back ribbons. Hang some vines and/or fairy lights to really add to that fairytale vibe!
Promising review: "So cute, so easy to install! Literally like four hooks and tie-backs, and you're done. Jazz it up with some twinkle lights (not included), and you are golden. I swear, laying in bed at night, I feel like a princess. Especially because I always wanted one of these as a little girl. 😇" —Krystle
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven styles).
14. Some adhesive LED color-changing strip lights because you're all about curating a mood — even when that mood changes constantly. Fortunately, the only thing between you and custom light configurations is finding the remote...
The kit comes with one roll of adhesive LED lights, a power adaptor, an IR receiver, and a remote. Reviewers note that the included adhesive is pretty darn strong (aka might peel your paint). If that concerns you, consider using Command cord clips or mounting putty instead.
Promising review: "I'm very happy with the quality of this product. It was easy to install and only took us about 45 minutes. I did have to take down one strand of lights because I miscalculated, and we were four inches short. I was surprised and pleased that the 3M tape on the back of the LED light strip stuck and held after my second attempt. The remote works great, and we've had no issues switching the color of the LED lights. Every light works perfectly, and the power cord stays cool. We're very impressed, and it added a neat light feature to the room. This would be perfect for any teen's room!" —LS
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes).
15. A wire slicker brush for reviving your beloved faux fur rugs and throw blankets to their former fluffy glory, since there's approximately zero room in the budget for a suitable replacement.
Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to brush each rug thoroughly, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
16. Some blackout velvet curtains if you want vampiric-level protection from unwanted light combined with a luxe aesthetic that'll be a joy to wake up to every morning.
Promising review: "These curtains are beautiful! They're even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch, plus the emerald color looks so elegant. Before you hang them, I would advise you to steam them to get the wrinkles out. I can't wait to get another color! You'll be happy with your purchase." —Alex
Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ per panel (available in 5 lengths, 24 colors, and with grommets or rod pockets).
17. A fast-drying grout paint pen that'll help you cover up years of dingy staining in your tile cracks without all the time-intensive scrubbing. Think of it like one of those adult coloring books — fill in the lines and bask in your ~artistic~ sensibilities.
Promising review: "Holy cow! I never thought my stained grout would look so good! These pens are so amazing. After a little priming, they go forever! They cover very well and are super easy to use and cover the darkest of stains! I am buying four more to cover the rest of the house. The tip does not get into the very end of a line due to the border, but I prime it a bit for excess paint and push it in with my finger. Also, this is great for those deep small holes or grooves that are in the tile that leave dirt spots that are almost impossible to get out. Just prime it over the hole, rub it in with your finger, and wipe off the rest. I have very light beige tile, and the beige color pens blend perfectly. I would NOT recommend white unless you have very white tile. This beige will blend well with white as well. Cannot beat it for the price and the amazing job this pen does. One pen will cover about a 3x20-foot area, no problem." —NatJH
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and additional colors).
18. A clever silicone "Broombi" so you can finally eliminate the perma-layer of fur that has turned your rugs a totally different color, while also playing the roll of broom and squeegee when the rest of your floors need tending to.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilled messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable, stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom of most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" —Sandra Moyer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors).
19. A pack of rub-on furniture decals to cover up scratches or just update an old piece, even if you have zero faith in your DIY skills. These transfers couldn't be easier to use and require no adhesives, heat, or water to apply.
Maika Daughters is an Austin, Texas-based small business focused on selling all kinds of materials for upcycling projects.
They work on walls, furniture, wood, doors, and many more surfaces!
Promising review: "Love this transfer! Beautiful and so easy to apply. I will be buying more!" —Sarah
Get three sheets from Maika Daughters on Etsy for $15.99+ (available with or without a transfer tool).
20. Sturdy couch cushion support because your sofa's sagging makes it feel a little too much like you're being eaten alive after a long day, and parting ways with your butt's best friend is just not an option.
After measuring your cushions, you'll cut the large sheet into appropriately sized sections. Make your life a bit easier, and grab a utility knife for the job!
Promising review: "My husband's side of the couch has a very obvious butt indent. This foam piece makes the couch look normal again, and when he sits on it, he doesn't sink in anymore. 100% recommend." —katie h
Get one 35" x 22" sheet from Amazon for $37.99 (also available in an XL size).
21. Some stylish brushed brass handles for updating cabinet doors and vanity drawers since sometimes it's the little things that take a space from drab to fab.
Promising review: "Wow. For the price, I was not expecting such a beautiful handle. The brushed brass color was the perfect shade. Looks very elegant and high-end. I had purchased another handle to compare and couldn't believe how much heavier this handle was compared to a similar brand. Very easy to install, as screws were included. Do not hesitate to purchase this handle if you want an elegant brushed brass handle. Would look beautiful in a kitchen, bathroom or as a handle for a dresser." —ASCRN
Get a set of 10 five-inch pulls from Amazon for $58.82.
22. A full-length arched mirror that can be styled three ways: free-standing with the included kickstand, hung up, or propped against a wall. Now your pint-sized apartment can look larger than life with one chic addition.
Promising review: "Very heavy but came in perfect condition! A great size if you're looking for something not too big and not too small (cool for an apartment). The gold looks super sleek. I recommend this product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in black and gold).
23. A set of magnetic fridge spice organizers if redecorating and reorganizing are basically synonyms to you. These sleek shelves turn once useless fridge space into an easy-access stop on the way to Flavor Town.
Promising review: "These work well and solve the problem of having to dig into a cabinet to find spices. These shelves are better than mounting a spice rack as the shelves have strong magnets that easily stick to the side of a metal appliance as shown in the product description." —Michael
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $23.99 (available in eight colors and larger packs).
24. A handcrafted mushroom incense holder because it comes with 60 incense cones and creates a smoke show so mesmerizing, it won't even matter what the rest of your room looks like.
Promising review: "This product does work as intended and is super cute. I love how the smokiness filters down like a fog into the mushroom cavity." —mettaarchilla
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six colors).
25. Some statement-making colorblock wall decals to liven up blank walls with all the flair of a custom paint job with a fraction of the effort. And if you're renting or just can't commit to one look — don't worry — it's removable.
Kenna Sato Designs is a Utah-based Etsy shop selling fresh and colorful peel-and-stick decals for your walls and car windows, cool wall decor, prints, and giftables like mugs and phone cases.
Promising review: "Don’t know how I went this long without trying wall vinyls! These really do liven up boring white walls. These were relatively easy to put up even by myself and on slightly textured walls. Also great communication from the seller and getting back to questions quickly!" —Amy Cheung
Get it from Kenna Sato Designs on Etsy for $56.99 (available in four color combos and custom combos).
26. An easy-to-use leather recoloring balm so the reading chair you've spent hours in doesn't show just how many sit sessions you two have had together.
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: "Can I give it 10 stars? My hubby was ready to get rid of the set. It's SUCH a comfortable set, and well-built. The 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 (16 colors available).
27. A set of pop-up hooks for making your boring entryway into a riveting cat-and-mouse chase every time you go to hang up your keys.
Promising review: "These are so cute!! I get so happy seeing them hanging by the door, waiting to pop back down for when I leave for work. Take the car keys, and it's gone. Come back from work, hang them on its tail, and they stare at you with this unamused glare. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase! They're so easy to install; just take the adhesive backing, stick it to the back of one, and stick it to the wall. Then enjoy your new friend!" —Amazon Customer
Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick).

Promising review: "SOOO pretty. They come with little sticky adhesives — you get a lot of them for the money, and they are beautiful! They make for very cute decorations. Super happy with the purchase, and not to mention it only took like 20 minutes to put all of them up." —Haley Pelletier
Get a set of 48 from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 21 colors and styles).
29. These water-resistant adhesive floor tiles if your building's pre-war charm does not extend to those pre-war tile floors and the woefully stained grout.
Each tile is 12" x 12" in size!
Promising review: "For under $100, I redid my entire bathroom! We moved into our home two years ago, and our small main-floor bathroom had hideous orange mosaic tiles. We want to eventually gut and rehab our bathroom but wanted to give it a cheap facelift. Floorpops made that possible and a very inexpensive option! We used caulk to seal some of the tiny gaps and caulked around the tub and underneath the baseboards for a good seal. The tiles are not moving at all and have adhered okay. All in all, I am very pleased with the end result!" —Agnieszka
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in black and gray).

Each tile is 12" X 12", and it's waterproof and heat-resistant! You'll also need a utility knife to cut the pieces as needed.
Promising review: "I put this up in my laundry room. It was easy to work with and install. Made a huge difference for very little money. We are very pleased and would recommend." —Amazon Customer
Get 10 sheets from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 11 colors).
31. A slatted couch arm tray table to make sofa time as relaxing as humanely possible by eliminating the need to even lean forward and grab your wine off the coffee table. (Don't lie, it's annoying and you know it.)
Ewart Woods is a Latvia-based shop that creates handmade organization and storage solutions that are simple yet visually stunning.
Promising review: "The sofa arm table is gorgeous; the color is great, and it fits perfectly on my sofa! The make of it is also great and seems like it would last. Definitely recommend." —Aubrey
Get it from Ewart Woods on Etsy for $55.93 (available in 10 colors and 3 styles).

33. And a colorful area rug with alllllll the colors so no matter what palette you've got going, this cushy layer will make a statement that still feels cohesive.
Promising review: "Quite simply, I am in love with this rug. This is one of those rare instances in which the product looks way better in real life than it does in the online photos. The colors are beautiful — warm and soft at the same time. For such a flat rug, it's got a luxurious, cushy feel to it. And there was absolutely no shedding whatsoever after I unfurled it. Fantastic rug at an incredibly reasonable price. I am delighted." —Adam J. Sank
