    33 Super Simple Things That'll Make Your Home Look Upgraded

    If your computer can ask for updates every week, your home deserves one too.

    1. An arched mirror with the teeniest lil' shelf so you can have your go-to lipstick ready to be swiped before you head out the door.

    2. Sheer curtains that will instantly make your space look airy, fresh, and even a little bit ✨ dreamy ✨.

    3. Curtain rods because most people overlook these, but upgrading them can completely transform your windows with little to no effort from you. AKA my kind of upgrade.

    4. Marble-print contact paper to cover up those less-than-pretty countertops in as quickly as one day!

    5. A throw pillow cover so you can refresh your couch pillows without having to go out and buy *more* pillows. You save space and get to change up your place. It's a win-win!

    6. A stylish area rug that's soft enough for you to enjoy walking barefoot on it, but also strong enough to handle even the heaviest of traffic in your home.

    7. A pack of light bulbs for when you really like the "Edison bulb" look, but prefer when you have a bit more brightness than those bulbs can handle. Warm lights are fun, but sometimes you just need a good bright light!

    8. Stick-on tile backsplash to easily spruce up your kitchen space, even if you're a renter. No really! It's as easy as peeling and sticking!

    9. An adorable tea towel because sometimes upgrading your home isn't about making big changes. Switching your kitchen towels (especially to something like this lil' cutie) will brighten up your home effortlessly.

    10. A tiered shelf that is not only functional, but truly looks like a piece of art installation on its own. Not to mention it's the *perfect* place to display your quirky tchotchkes.

    11. A set of linen sheets so you can feel like your sleeping on a cloud while your bedroom looks like a literal dream.

    12. An LED vanity mirror for when your vibe is ~fancy hotel chic~. I see these all the time in nice hotel rooms and I just think it's the perfect style for the elegant and luxurious feel that'll make you *want* to spend time in the bathroom.

    13. A mid-century floor lamp because it's absolutely time to upgrade from that old floor lamp with the different color lampshades you've had since high school. You know the one.

    14. A chunky knit blanket that'll make you want to throw yourself in your bed and cuddle all day inside it. Plus, the pop of color is such an easy upgrade to your bedroom.

    15. Peel-and-stick wallpaper to create the perfect statement piece in your home — your place looks upgraded and you didn't have to do anything else. Easy peasy.

    16. Subtle cord covers because cables can look so cluttered and unsightly, especially if you have a ton of electronics sharing an area (guilty).

    17. A lighting fixture that'll replace those basic default ones that came when you bought the place, and you'd be surprised at how much of a difference just changing your ceiling lights will make.

    18. A bathtub tray to immediately upgrade your bathroom and make you feel like you're about to take a bubble bath in a five star spa.

    19. A lovely welcome mat so the second you step in front of your door, you already feel like you've upgraded your home.

    20. A hall tree to replace the dinky coat rack that's been overflowing with jackets all winter.

    21. Or wall hooks if you lack the space or just prefer a more minimal look.

    22. A shower curtain because that ducky curtain is not doing your bathroom any favors (but I definitely do appreciate it 🦆 ).

    23. A dining room table set so you can finally stop eating on the couch and have the perfect place to enjoy your take out. Okay, let's be real...we'll still eat on the couch.

    24. A shaggy bath mat that's so soft, you'll be rushing through your shower just to sink your toes in this bad boy. Ahh.

    25. A flip-up coffee table because, let's be real, eating (and working) on the couch is just so much more cozy and fun. Plus, you can store blankets inside it! Or snacks. Or both. Definitely both.

    26. A nap-approved sectional sofa that'll easily become the statement piece in your entire home, as it should.

    27. A rainfall showerhead for when your old head just doesn't cut it anymore. You deserve a luxurious shower. I mean, we all do, but especially you.

    28. A rustic-style handmade basket to store all of your little knickknacks and tools, keeping your space looking clean *and* adorable.

    29. Motion-activated LED light strips sure to add a bit of ambience to the space when you're winding down for the day. Bonus: it provides ample lighting for those (very dark) late-night bathroom breaks.

    30. A fake plant for when the idea of having real plants around that you need to take care of gives you heart palpitations (me), but you still want to have some greenery around to liven up the space.

    31. An industrial-style bookshelf to store all of your fanciest knickknacks, books, and quirkiest decor for all to see.

    32. An oh-so-sleek TV stand for storing your board games, candles, and movies (do people still own DVDs?) — all while keeping your living room looking oh-so-clean.

    33. And finally, a Samsung Frame TV so you can make your space look like your guests just walked into a fancy museum, but with a click of a button you're ready to continue watching your binge-marathon of New Girl.
