    27 Cheap Things That'll Make Your Apartment Look Fancier

    Coasters are now definitely required.

    1. A wood polisher that'll get rid of the wear-and-tear your table or wardrobe are starting to show. A session with this will get rid of scratches, water marks, you name it, meaning all your old furniture is about to look brand-spanking new.

    2. A duo of velvet pillow covers so you can give your living room some sophisticated flair while still staying well under budget. We need money for all that takeout we swore we wouldn't order.

    3. A cotton storage basket for allowing you to still toss clothes, laundry, whatever away carelessly, but now they WON'T stare you in the face for the next three weeks. Tl;dr: this'll replace The Chair.

    4. An extra-fuzzy blanket, because all it takes is you to *throw* this on the bed and voilà: you live at the Ritz.

    5. A set of gilded desk organizers that'll keep everything clutter-free and make your workspace look like you're already a CEO. Feel free to say that's true.

    6. A roll of gold adhesive paper to easily upgrade old furniture into Versailles-level decor. Are you changing your name to Marie Antoinette? Obviously.

    7. A set of faux flowers so you have a fresh bouquet waiting for you every day — no need to budget in fresh ones every week.

    8. A hanging shower caddy for not only keeping your bathroom seamlessly nice and neat, but making everything look sleek and modern. Win, win.

    9. A chic geometric table lamp, because you probably need a lot more light than what's naturally at your place — and this'll do just that without taking up too much room.

    10. A roll of marble contact paper that'll transform the same old pieces of furniture you've had forever into high-end pieces of decor. We are on a BUDGET.

    11. A brass and glass terrarium set you can fill with fake plants and still look like a sophisticated grownup. I won't tell anyone.

    12. A faux sheepskin rug for greeting your tired feet with much-needed fluffy relief at the end of a long day. Whose idea was it to pay rent, anyway?

    13. A duo of hanging glass terrariums, because these'll *freshen* up your home with minimal effort. AND caring for plants has been proven to be therapeutic, which will come in handy after .05 seconds of living in a city.

    14. A mason jar organizer that'll keep things like bathroom items chicly organized off of your counters *and* get major decorating points. Why yes, I DO secretly work for HGTV.

    15. A set of microfiber cloths so you can keep windows and mirrors impeccably clean and shining with merely a few swipes. Can we say "low maintenance" all together?

    16. A sleek toilet brush and holder for not only keeping your toilet clean (a must), but staying disguised so your bathroom can stay as pretty as you'd like.

    17. A set of brass cooking utensils, because these'll gild your kitchen without spending your weight in gold. Do you cook? No. Do you look like Ina Garten? YES.

    18. A faux fur sheepskin throw that'll instantly update the chairs you've had since college into insta-worthy decor. Feel free to humblebrag while showing off your own living room.

    19. A cloud-like alternative quilted comforter so your bedroom always looks bright and clean thanks to this simple white design (white decor = seemingly bigger room). More importantly, this'll make your bedtime routine feel *plush* as heck. Let us say ahhh together.

    20. A heavy-duty metal clothing rack so you can both humblebrag your favorite outfits and effortlessly add a polished flair to your decor.

    21. A vintage-y area rug for revamping your home in one step without flooring your credit card bill.

    22. A styling tool organizer, because your bathroom will stay nice and mess-free — you know, like how you usually try to make it when mom comes to visit? Now it can be like that all👏 the 👏 time 👏. Plus, a little gold is always good for a small upgrade — IKEA shower curtain included.

    23. A duo of brass candle stick holders that'll shed a light on your *polished* taste. Now all you need are some coasters.

    24. A felt letter board so you have an easy way to always keep your new home cheerful and on-trend (and maybe even stylishly leave yourself reminders).

    25. A detailed metal wall plate for polishing every room with just a flick of a switch — or at least when they're decorated with this.

    26. A set of bathroom accessories, because these'll let you indulge in a little *vanity* and decorate your bathroom with gilded trays, mirrors, and brush organizer.

    27. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper that'll instantly upgrade your space with extremely little commitment.
