1. Add magnetic garage handles and faux windows because those carriage-style doors can be pretty darn pricey! Luckily, these'll give your home's appearance the same charming touch for just a fraction of the price.
2. Easily install curtains with NoNo Brackets, aka curtain rod brackets that fit onto your existing blinds. This means you no longer have to struggle with all the drilling of holes and whatnot, which is *especially* a relief if you live in a rental.
3. Brighten an icky floor with a grout pen, which is just what you need for all those pesky nooks and crannies that refuse to ever look clean. This lets you skip all the scrubbing to restore your floors to their bright, clean appearance in a pinch.
4. Use a velvet slipcover to give your poor old couch a quick and easy makeover. It even comes with straps so that it stays put (no matter how much your kids or pets mess with it)!
5. And consider a stretchy armchair slipcover that'll help your beloved chair's attractiveness match its level of comfiness.
6. Or perhaps you could use some washable dining chair slipcovers, which reviewers rave about being super easy to use and work on various-sized chairs. Alas, you can transform that dining set from Facebook Marketplace to fit your home's exact style.

These make your space a little less mundane and project a whimsical kaleidoscope of colors into your room, which your roomies will probably be jealous of.

10. Keep dirt and chilly gusts of wind *out* with a door draft stopper, because that tiny space under the door can feel *much* bigger when cold air keeps sneaking in. 🥶 This is an effective — and subtle! — way of keeping the warm in and the cold out.
11. Hide those little scratches on your fave furniture with a set of wood repair markers that'll conceal those imperfections that are small yet somehow still manage to stare you right in the face. Hey, better than breaking the bank for entirely new furniture.

18. Attach a roll of faux ivy to wire fencing, railings, or a trellis to add a touch of botanical lushness to your yard. This is especially useful for those of us who want our yard to say, "I have a green thumb,"...when you, in fact, don't.
19. Keep your floors in tip-top shape by adding furniture protectors so that you can put off refinishing your floors without making it look like you're putting it off. Plus, this way, you can avoid some nails-on-chalkboard scrapes. One point for successful adulting!
20. Make your kitchen sink's corner work for its dinner with a corner sponge organizer, which fits a surprising amount of dishwashing necessities in such a tiny space. This beats having all your brushes and sponges crowd up your cleaning zone (and taking up precious counter space).
21. Invest in a lil' over-the-door cabinet organizer, so your curling iron can no longer play a game of hide-and-seek with you on those days when you're actually trying to look presentable. This'll have you locating it in a snap!
22. Stop the mess in your laundry room with a laundry-detergent drip catcher because, with detergent prices nowadays, every little drop counts! Plus, anything that lets us stay home a while longer instead of taking a trip to the store to buy more is what we call a win.
23. Graduate from your mismatched collection to a set of silicone-coated kitchen utensils with a simple look that is chic *and* makes it easy for them to pair with almost any kitchen style.
24. Revamp your undergarments storage with a sock and underwear organizer so that you can pick out your socks of the day in a snap. (And so that you can easily zero in on the pair-less ones!)
26. Toss a punchy throw blanket on your worn-out couch or chair so that guests can focus on it with some fun color and pretty pom-pom trim instead of on your furniture, which mayyy be time to replace.
27. Or if you want to give more ~luxe vibes~, take a similar approach with a faux-sheepskin rug that you can throw on a chair to give it a lil' extra comfort. You can also place it at the foot of your bed so that your feet have something cushy and glamorous to land on in the morning.
28. Create some useful air space above your go-to outlet with an outlet shelf, which is *just* large enough for your electric toothbrush and helps you free up more counter space in even the smallest of bathrooms.
29. Pour your thrifty booze into a gorgeous luxe decanter and set of six glasses to park on the top tier of your bar cart so that you can live like a Salvatore brother.
30. Mask the unsightly mess underneath your bed with a sharp bed skirt that comes in various colors so that it goes perfectly with your bedding.
31. Spiff up stainless-steel appliances with a plant-based stainless steel cleaner — perfect for anyone who misses that beautiful, shiny reflection that their stainless-steel appliances used to give off. It uses a blend of natural coconut oil to polish and remove streaks, smudges, and residue. It also leaves a protective barrier so that your surfaces stay cleaner for longer. Need we say more?

36. Corral "drop zone" stuff like keys, mail, and reusable grocery bags onto this tidy wall shelf so that the fam has a designated area for their thingamabobs that *isn't* the kitchen counter.
37. Hang a set of room-darkening velvet curtains for an extravagant look on a budget. Mount the rod ABOVE the window frame and measure the curtains correctly so you can get a floor-skimming look that belongs in a TV period piece drama.
38. Invest in a faux houseplant that'll add a beautiful pop of color and nature to your space without you having to let your... uh... ~underwhelming~ skills as a plant parent get in the way.
39. Mount a floating bookshelf if your bookworm self has maxed out on the rest of the available bookshelf space in your home. Plus, it's a super neat way of displaying your fave reads!
