1. A faux-sheepskin rug you can throw on your ugliest arm chair and turn into your throne where you'll wield the most important of decisions, like which series to binge-watch this weekend.
2. A seashell pillow for MUCH cheaper than you'll see in a cool vintage shop. Seriously though, your other throw pillows can use a new bud.
3. A bidet toilet attachment for a spa-like experience to get you squeaky clean. Just think of all the closet space you're going to free up when you require FAR less TP!
4. Lighted curtains you can layer with some sheer curtains for an ethereal look indoors or outdoors on the reg. Staying inside and getting your money's worth on your rent or mortgage is going to feel way more glamorous.
5. A velvet futon so impressive that no one will believe it's a futon because we're all so used to those unsightly metal behemoths. Folding it out into a sleeping surface will be your new fave magic trick.
6. Peel-and-stick wallpaper to help you get a snazzy DIY look 'til you're on an interior designer budget. It'll happen for ya' one day.
7. A velvet slipcover to give your ragged old couch a complete new look. Plus, the slipcover comes with straps to keep it in place so you don't have to futz with it all the time.
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 $32.49+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).
8. And a stretchy arm chair slipcover to help transform that perfectly fine (but hideous) chair you found on Facebook Marketplace for a song.
Promising review: "Before and after putting it on. I couldn’t be happier. This chair has been through and lot and I just wasn’t ready to pry with it. The cover was easy to put in and so soft." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 21 solid colors).
9. Or perhaps some washable dining chair slipcovers so you can make actual use of that dining set your aunt is offering up for free but isn't quite your style. Reviewers say they're super easy to use and work on various sized chairs.
Promising review: "These arrived yesterday and they was so easy for me to put on. Only took about 10 minutes for six chairs. From nasty white chairs to a nice gray and white cover. I LOVE THESE SO MUCH THAT I WILL BIY MORE TO CHANGE OUT MY COLORS FOR CHRISTMAS TIME AND ALL HOLIDAYS. Well worth the price we payed. I’m in love with my new chairs now. IT WAS MY HUSBANDS IDEA FOR ME TO BUY MORE. ❤️" —lisa browning
Get six from Amazon for $28.79+ (available in dozens of solid colors and prints).
10. An enviable Dutch oven to match your kitchen, but won't break the bank like the holy grail Le Creuset. Some day. Some. Day.
11. A 12-piece non-stick cookware set so you live the dream and hang up all your pots and pans for display in your kitchen. Martha wishes.
Each piece is diamond-reinforced, has a non-stick coating, Made Without PFOA, and dishwasher-safe. Includes 8” fry pan, 10” fry pan, 2-quart saucepan with lid, 5-quart Dutch oven with lid and stainless steel steamer basket, 4-quart deep sauté pan with lid, 10” square griddle pan, bamboo turner, and spoon.
Promising review: "I bought this set 3 years ago. I use them all the time, and they’ve held up beautifully. No scratches, no weird stains, no food stuck to the pan. I was thinking that I wanted new pans (for the color, nothing more), but these work so well that I’m not replacing them." —emmyson
Get them from our Goodful collection on Amazon for $67.91+ (available in two colors).
12. A grout pen you can use to work some *cheap magic* so you don't have to stare at the stained grout and imagine what it used to look like. Grout takes up a teeny bit of space but, as you can see from the pics, makes a huge impact!
13. A peel-and-stick faux-gel tile backsplash that's mold-, heat-, and moisture-resistant — and will give your kitchen the ultimate easy makeover montage.
Promising review: "We did a kitchen facelift this summer, repainting and making everything look fresh. We were looking at The Home Depot version of these, which are more than double the price. We decided to go for these instead and they are amazing!! I put them up myself in about two hours. I did buy the adhesive spray just in case but it wasn’t needed, even for the few I had to peel off and re-stick to center correctly. These aren’t too difficult to apply but definitely require patience. It is 100% worth the buy for a DIY affordable update!" —Hope Consilvio
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $25.16+ (available in two colors).
14. Some chalked paint that'll transform all sorts of furniture and surface eyesores. That dresser with the horrible stain color? Np.
Promising review: "This paint works marvelously for staining interior brick! I researched for a long time and looked at many project reports for staining a raw brick fireplace. Finally, I committed to this chalk paint and my fireplace looks better than any I have seen elsewhere. I diluted it to a half paint, half water ratio, applied one coat with a brush, and worked it into holes and crevices with a sponge. Very easy to do, especially if surroundings are appropriately protected from the very thin splashy paint." —maina donaldson
Get it from Amazon for $18.84+ (available in 15 colors).
15. A scratch-off state map as a cool reminder to finally take that road trip out west to commune with nature, far FAR away from other people.
16. A cat tree (an actual faux tree) so your fave felines can frolick in a fixture that fits in with your house plant collection. We love a multi-functional piece!
17. A set of soap dispensers you can decant your shower products into for a spa vibe. (No one has to know that's 99 cent-store shampoo!)
18. Or a set of reusable dispenser bottles (with nice labels!) that give the same vibe as some of the outrageously expensive toiletries you've probably seen in a fancy restaurant bathroom.
19. An indoor-friendly hammock chair (you could also hang up on a covered patio) that'll give hanging out a new meaning. Add a throw pillow and you'll never want to leave.
20. A super adaptable sofa you can take apart piece by piece and then swap out covers for over the years. Aka, you can buy one couch and build onto it as you build your life! Awwwwww.
21. A *washable* boho area rug that, tbh, would be easier to vacuum in high-traffic areas but still be SO stunning. Can you believe?!
22. A graciously sized storage ottoman for storing blankets or stuff you just want outta sight.
23. A Selenite skyscraper to dress up any ole bookshelf or tabletop. (It's going to look like you spent close to $50 on it!!! And I say that because I recently saw one in a boutique priced that.)
24. A modern tabletop mirror that'll give you a glimpse of your visage while making an interesting focal point. Truly the best of both worlds.
25. A plant-watering bird that'll keep your plant babes hydrated and looking like their best selves, even if you currently can't be described in that way.
26. And a juniper bonsai to add to your plant horde. Just because!
27. A compact desk large enough for your computer and some accoutrements but small enough to avoid it becoming a dumping ground.
28. A gorgeous office desk chair so you can sit pretty while banging out a report or two before logging offline for a long weekend. Byeeee.
29. A professionally framed photo for a budget-friendly price.
30. Or perhaps a gallery wall kit complete with pro-quality photos, hanging hardware, and paper guides — so that naked wall can finally get dressed in something special.
31. A linen bedding bundle so you can fully realize your fancy home self while keeping your cool. You don't have to sleep hot to love these, but that'll make you love them even more!
32. Garage magnets for achieving a desirable carriage-door style with your existing doors. (*Actual* carriage-style doors are very pricey.)
33. A divine candle set so you can finally set up your Golden Girls shrine.
34. A mini fridge that'll be the perfect spot for your skincare! Or stash of soda. I guess that's between you and this lil' fridge.
35. A canopy bed befitting your royal lifestyle (with plenty of space underneath for storing all your civilian things).
36. A set of room-darkening velvet curtains for a super dramatic look on the cheap. Mount the rod ABOVE the window frame and measure the curtains correctly so you can get a glam floor-skimming look that draws the eye upward.
37. A wordy pillow any bibliophile will adore. Nancy Drew solved the mystery of who lives in the gorgeous home. It's you!
38. A pretty yoga mat (that's legit v good) so you can finally make a lil' exercise nook to help find your center and then 'gram it.
39. Some bamboo toilet paper wrapped in pretty packaging to help you express yourself in the bathroom. Oh and if your dream home contains a replenishing stash of TP, you'll wanna sign up for the subscription!
40. A countertop painting kit that'll transform outdated surfaces into a granite look for considerably less dough than actual granite.
41. And if you want a total kitchen transformation, a kitchen cabinet painting kit that requires ZERO stripping or priming *might* make you wonder if you're in someone else's house before you've had your coffee.
42. And some under-cabinet lights to make your kitchen look so much more expensive and help set a mood that'll actually make you wanna cook.
43. A piece of wall art with a major jewelry upgrade that'll kick up your collection.
44. A ~reversible~ indoor/outdoor rug you can hold onto as your design tastes change.
45. Oversized Turkish cotton towels that are super absorbent, quick-drying, and large enough to qualify as a bath sheet.
46. An industrial-style table lamp in case you're after that Edison bulb style but don't want your kids bumping up against a bare bulb.
47. An incredibly glam bar cart people won't believe you got on Amazon. It can be your new party trick!
48. Or a crystal decanter set you can empty your mid-shelf liquor into and park on a shelf in case you can't afford the floor space of a bar cart.
49. An undercover dog bed for your furry lil' angel who gets to do what you'd like to do, lounge around all day while someone else works for the chow. At least with this, you'll have a luxe-looking, machine-washable surface they won't get in trouble for drooling all over.
