1. A metallic-framed, full-length mirror that can open up your space in two ways: leaned against a wall vertically or hung horizontally. Mirrors are the MVPs of making rooms seem bigger — they create the illusion of more space, and amplify any available light.
2. A wooden mid-century console table with an open storage shelf, because it will increase the flow of light and air in your room. Open storage, rather than closed drawers, can make your space feel more expansive.
3. A vintage-styled Drew Barrymore Flower Home wooden floor lamp with a green velvet drum shade and 5-foot-long cord, so you can add extra light to any corners of your room that your overhead lighting leaves dark.
4. A pair of bright nesting end tables, for a pop of color that will lighten the space — unlike traditional dark wood tones, which absorb light.
5. A open-frame wood pendant lamp with built-in dimmer that will open up and illuminate your room.
6. A round accent mirror with a modern, slightly distressed white frame, because it will draw the eye to the reflected image, making the room feel larger.
7. A simple, clean-line end table, for an uncluttered look that makes everything seem more spacious.
8. A Queer Eye metal bed frame with a geometric frame headboard, so you can increase the design factor in your bedroom without a bulky headboard taking up space.
9. A sheer curtain, because dense, heavy drapes will darken the room and make it feel smaller. Sheer curtains let natural light in, and their airy texture helps things feel even more open.
10. A tall, narrow bookcase that will accentuate the room's height, making it feel taller.
11. A roll of patterned Pioneer Woman peel-and-stick wallpaper, so you can create an accent wall that will brighten your room without overloading it visually.
12. An elegant, art deco gold-finish bar cart, because glass and metallics reflect light around your space.
13. Or a glass-and-metal coffee table that will bounce light around your living room.
14. A light-colored rug, because if you have dark hardwood or tile floors, it will help make the room feel lighter.
15. Or a brightly patterned, stain-resistant area rug, so you can define space within your room — the colors help divide the floor visually, making the room seem larger than it is.
16. A minimalist writing desk that leaves plenty of space free, while also adding a rustic design flourish.
17. A bottle of streak-free glass cleaner, because the simplest way to make your room brighter is to make sure your windows are sparkling clean and letting every drop of natural light in.
18. A corner shelving unit in a light color, so you can store or display your stuff without taking up tons of precious space.
19. A piece of simple, vibrantly-colored Drew Barrymore Flower Home wall art that will help make a dark room feel lighter.
20. A set of U-shaped floating shelves, because they look airier than bookshelves, and create less visual clutter.
21. A simple, fold-down convertible sofa-bed that won't overpower your living room the way a traditional overstuffed couch would.
22. Or a white sectional sofa, because the white fabric will reflect light in the room, rather than absorb it like a dark couch.
23. A torchiere floor lamp with dimmer and reading lamp, for rooms with weak overhead lighting. The lamp directs light up towards your ceiling, illuminating the whole room, rather than only lighting the immediate area. The additional reading lamp also provides focused light when you need it.
24. A three-piece sunburst mirror set that does double duty — it catches the light, making your room seem warmer and lighter, while also serving as a wall accent.
25. An elegant pedestal table with a real marble top, because its streamlined appearance and light color will make any room seem sleeker.
26. A 12-pack of bright, energy-efficient lightbulbs that will make your current lamps and lighting fixtures shine more intensely. Though it's important to only use the correct wattage for your light, extra-bright lightbulbs will throw more light without using more energy.
27. A can of no-primer-needed white paint, for an easy, low-budget brightness makeover — true white walls will make any room instantly appear bigger, and reflect whatever light is available.
28. A tufted storage ottoman with nailhead detailing, because the simplest way to make your room look bigger is to pick up all the random stuff you have on the floor and store it away somewhere (yes, even the Baby Yoda dolls. Especially the Baby Yoda dolls).
29. A brightly colored, machine-washable throw pillow, for a quick way to inject some bright color into a dark room.
30. A farmhouse-chic linen shower curtain in a light shade, because a dark or busy shower curtain can make a small bathroom look even smaller.
31. And a set of remote-controlled, multi-setting curtain string lights that cascade down vertically from a cord, creating a waterfall of light. They're a literal glow-up from the traditional string fairy lights, providing a more sophisticated way to softly light a room.
