    Amazon

    Promising review: "I took a chance and bought this originally as a 'Band-Aid fix' to refinish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that... paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl(?) with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and re-finished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don't have the money for a full remodel just yet. It can be cleaned with dish soap and water just like a real countertop." —Ezra Boyd

    "My husband and I both love this blanket! I mostly got it for the look, but it's so soft and cozy! We've always used fuzzy blankets while sitting on the couch at night, but now we both prefer this one! It's perfectly light weight, a good size, and all over very nice. 10/10 would recommend!" —Cori

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes and 25 colors).

    5. Or a plush blanket that is so unbelievably soft reviewers are comparing it to the fan favorite version from Barefoot Dreams — you'll never want to remove it from your body. You might as well go ahead and quit your job and become a Professional Snuggler.

    6. square iron firepit table you'll pat yourself on the back for investing in come Sunday morning when you're sitting with your feet up, enjoying the warm while sipping coffee. Bliss.

    Reviewer image of the black fire pit with flames
    Reviewer image of the black fire pit with flames

    Promising review: "This has changed our outdoor living. Love spending time just sitting by it and watching the flames. It’s made very well and I love how easy it is to use. One 5-gallon tank of propane lasts about four to five hours. I use it for about 30 minutes at a time in the morning and evening having coffee or winding down...I enjoy it mainly for the ambience it creates on my back porch. I would definitely recommend it if you want an attractive, well-built fire pit as a spot to gather around on a cool evening and make s’mores or just talk. Would buy again for sure." —Derek S.

    Get it from Amazon for $119.99.

    7. Or a wall-mounted electric fireplace you can count on to add a comfy-cozy vibe to your home — it has various brightness and flame speed options, as well as 12 color options for the flames and flame bed. It has touch screen buttons and a remote control, too, allowing you to customize it without getting up from the warm spot you've claimed on the couch.

    Promising review: "Installation was quick and easy; it's very, very slim to the wall profile-wise. The heat output is great, and it's quiet. It's heating approximately 1,000-sq.-ft. basement to comfortable levels. I was frozen down here; now I just set the fireplace on low, and it's 72 degrees. Plus, it looks awesome, and the remote is easy enough to use. I've had tons of compliments on it." —m.code

    8. A Voluspa candle in a gorgeous jar that'll make your home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle scent....this is the one I'd want to cover myself in from head to toe.

    volupsacandles / Via www.instagram.com

    I would sell my soul for a French Cade Lavender Voluspa candle — no joke. It's absolutely one of my all time favorite candles. I typically buy one for my sister once a year because they're easily her number one fave. There's something that feels so elegant about the design of the glass jars and scents of these candles that keeps me coming back to them time after time. They're known for being a bit pricey but, honestly, they're worth it. Additionally, Volupsa is considered a small business!

    Promising review: "This candle smells INCREDIBLE and lasts FOREVER! I’ve purchased this exact candle several times over the years and plan on continuing to do so so in the future. The lavender scent isn’t too strong but does make my room smell heavenly almost immediately after lighting it. I would like to eventually try other scents but I can’t tear myself away from this one!" —Cassie

    Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in 24 scents).

    9. And decorative jar filled with 135 matches (you can strike 'em on the bottom!) so you can stop hunting around your junk drawer for that lil' matchbook you pocketed the last time you were out at a bar.

    Promising review: "Beautiful to display and the matches work great! I’ve bought other decorative matches and the striker or matches haven't worked well — this one is perfect!" —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

    10. A duvet set complete with a buttery soft cover and two shams that'll make you want to lounge in bed for days (if only). Whatever color you choose will look (and feel!) divine and will help transform your room into one out of a fancy resort.

    You can get a duvet insert here.

    Promising review: "It works awesome, the corner ties save me from having to adjust it every morning. It’s soft and cozy. I tried this duvet cover with a single duvet insert and with two duvet inserts (if you want your bed to feel like a hotel bed, that is the move), and either way very cozy." —Rhiannon M.

    Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin–King and 10 colors).

    11. A set of velvet pillow covers you'll love for the way they'll feel oh-so-soft on your skin when you face plant directly into your pile of pillows at the end of a long day. They're also super easy to swap out when you inevitably get the itch to redecorate your room (again).

    I have these velvet throw pillow covers! They hold up very well in the wash, really are extremely soft, and look great on display!

    Promising review: "This is the second set of these I've purchased (bought two different colors to change out when one set is in the laundry), and I completely love them. They are so soft, easy to put the pillows into, and they come out of the laundry looking brand-new. Get a couple of different colors and switch out for holidays, or when desiring a quick easy decor change. I highly recommend them." —Melanie Mastin

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 12 sizes and in 49 colors).

    12. Motorized custom shades that'll help you make even the sunniest of days into cozy ones fit for movie marathons — all you'll have to do is click your remote or ask Alexa or Google to lower them for you!

    Promising review: "While a bit spendy, these blinds are great! The customer service is impeccable, and they are very responsive and were able to work with my poor measuring skills to get me sorted with a new set that only required a motor swap! After doing it twice because I put the reset button the wrong way, I'm back installed, and they work great!!!! Thank you!!" —Johnny X.

    Get them from Amazon for $153.99+ (available in 12 colors; all orders are custom sized).

    13. A quilted chenille floor pillow you can use to turn your window into a snuggly place to lounge — no magic wand required! You can (and should) also plop one of these pillows on the floor to provide extra comfy seating for whoever chooses to join you in your cozy kingdom.

    One side is faux-fur, and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.

    Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it, and it's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this...do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft, and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK

    Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin—King and 34 colors).

    15. tiered plant stand to provide your plants with a stabilized home instead of scattering them all around your apartment — it'll also make it WAY easier to water 'em! Is there anything more lovely than being surrounded by greenery? I think not.

    Promising review: "This is amazing! It is so comfy! Right now it is really cold for us, and stepping out of the shower is a lot easier with this mat. It feels wonderful and very well-made. We got the gray one that matches our bathroom and will be purchasing a white one for our other bathroom." —Aritopia

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

    17. An arc floor lamp that'll add the perfect amount of light to your space without making it as bright as the sun (yikes). It'll illuminate your go-to reading spot and ensure you're good to go whenever you finally get around to tackling that ever-growing TBR stack.

    Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee

    21. Faux-marble tile that'll help you transform your not-so-cute bathroom into one you'd likely see as an "After" on one of those HGTV renovation shows. They're peel-and-stick, so if you've ever decorate your laptop case you can likely apply these tiles without a hitch.

    Just make sure you avoid the actual sink, as these are flexible and humidity resistant but not waterproof. 

    Promising review: "Really made my bathroom stand out and it was super easy to apply. Adhesive seems very strong. I recommend making sure everything is lined up before pressing down firmly. Once it's down it's hard to peel back off." —Andy

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99.

    Promising review: "I bought this to do a little update to a dishwasher I didn't want to replace since it is fairly new. I simply added a piece of it to a black dishwasher and it really helped to tie it in with our other new stainless/black appliances. It's been on for over a month and is holding up perfectly." —KFran

    We chose our wedding venue specifically around the fact it was filled with incredible wallpaper — just like this print. It's really easy to apply (peel-and-stick!) and can be removed, so don't stress if you're renting. It can also be used to jazz up other items like bookcases.

    Promising review: "Amazing reading chair/lounger. If you're one of those people who needs to change positions often while reading, this chair is the bomb. I leave a charging cord in the arm for my phone and headphones, slide out the foot, and grab whatever book I chucked under there. I can lay down, recline, sit straight, etc. with ease. The foot stool part, being collapsible and held up with thin bars, did kind of sink a little after awhile but nothing that makes the chair feel broken or look lopsided. It's a solid little guy and I plan on picking another one up eventually for another room I like to read in." —Calvin Andrews
