    38 Affordable Apartment Finds From TikTok That Aren’t A Want, But A *Need*

    Like a cozy (and flame-free) candle warmer lamp, a disco ball diffuser, and a squiggly wall shelves that double as playful decor and added storage.

    1. A genius candle warmer lamp if you love the *idea* of candles but flames make you nervous (or your landlord doesn't allow you to light them). Just set the candle on its base and turn the lamp on, and its heat will melt the candle as if it were lit, releasing its delicious aroma into the air. It's cute, cozy, and completely hazard free.

    It includes a halogen warming bulb, and even has a dimmer so you can adjust it to your desired brightness level.

    Get a closer look at it on TikTok (it looks super cute in a kitchen too)!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: "🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need)...I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift."

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors). 

    2. A slim magnetic stove shelf, because I'm betting your counter space is minimal, especially if you live in a major city. This magnetic shelf attaches to the top of your stove with zero installation required, giving you a very handy spot to store spices, decor, and more while freeing up precious cabinet space.

    StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves. 

    Check it out on TikTok!

    I picked up the StoveShelf in the white 20-inch apartment size a while back, and I'm *obsessed* with how it uses and fills the space above my teensy stove. The magnets underneath are S-T-R-O-N-G, but you can still move them around with ease. That's a good thing, because if your stovetop is curved (or straight-up dented on top, like mine...lol), you may need to adjust the positioning of the magnets so that the StoveShelf sits flat on top and items don't slide off. (I found that positioning the magnets near the front allowed the StoveShelf to sit further back and maintain a flat level position.) As a backup option, though, I found that it works just as well when you put it on backwards so that the lip on the back faces the front — this keeps any items on top from sliding off!

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors and three sizes from 20" to 30").

    3. A disco ball diffuser — yup, the disco ball obsession is coming with us into 2024 (because when Taylor Swift sang, "I'm a mirrorball," we all felt that). It has four mist functions, seven lighting options, and even rotates so that when you place it in direct sunlight, you'll get to enjoy little light beams dancing around the room.

    Promising review: "It's more than just a diffuser; it's pure magic in a compact package. 🪩 The disco ball adds a touch of glamour to my space that I never knew I needed. The quality is outstanding — it feels solid and well-made. Setting it up was a breeze. Watching the light dance across the room, reflecting off the disco ball, is incredibly soothing and mesmerizing. The mist it emits so refreshing! Plus, it runs whisper-quiet, so it doesn't disrupt my peace and tranquility. But the best part? It's not just a diffuser; it's an experience. My friends and family are obsessed with it, and I've even had a few impromptu dance parties because of it! It's turned my patio into a disco paradise. ✨🌈💃" —Fern's Jungle

    Get it from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in two sizes and two colors). 

    4. An affordable and surprisingly chic entryway shoe organizer featuring two flip-out drawers that can store up to 12 pairs of shoes (so you stop tripping over that pile by the front door when you're running late to work). Plus, you can make it a one-stop shop for other essentials like your car keys and dog leashes — and place cute decor on top!

    Check out an unboxing and get a closer look at it on TikTok! Of course, you could also position two of these side by side if you have the space.

    These feature interior shelves that can be adjusted or removed, depending on the type and size of shoes you want to store. The graphic above (and on the listing) shows what shoe sizes can be accommodated!

    Promising review: "Obsessed with this cabinet. The quality is great for the price and it’s so stylish and doesn’t take up much space for the storage it provides! I added little hooks on the side to be able to hang dog leashes. The only con would be if you have large feet you aren’t going to be able to fit as many pairs of shoes in. My size 10s fit just right, but my husbands shoes sometimes have to go sideways so can only fit 1–3 pairs in the bottom drawer. But still better than on the floor!" —Nancy

    Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (also available in four other styles). 

    5. A set of cat and mouse hooks so adorable, they almost make me mad?? When not in use, the box will remain closed, but when you place weight on the hook, the fur ball's head will pop up — almost as if it's saying, "Welcome home!" 🥹

    the hooks used to hang six mugs on a wall

    They're best for hanging light items! They're designed for peel-and-stick application, but you could always use Command strips — safer for your wall and likely sturdier / able to hold more weight anyway!

    Check them out on TikTok

    Promising reviews: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy

    "Bought this for college kiddo and it’s received rave reviews. Loves them to bits, but swapped out the adhesive for Command strips per school policy. So cute!!" —at the lake

    Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick). 

    6. gold decorative mirror you can hang or even use as a tray to elegantly display jewelry, perfume, or decor on your vanity or dresser. This low-key looks like something out of Beauty and the Beast and I'm here for it.

    See it on TikTok.

    Promising review: "I am forever in love with this! Very aesthetically pleasing!! Mirror hasn’t scratched and adds some *spice* to my perfume collection." —Morgan Newbanks

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors). 

    7. A compact cutlery organizer cleverly designed to maximize drawer space with stacked, angled compartments that take up waaay less room than the typical wide, flat organizers. So if you have one of those ridiculously tiny drawers in your kitchen, now you can actually fully utilize it.

    See this "life-changing" drawer organizer on TikTok.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has used the cutlery organizer to make her kitchen feel more organized: "Just got this, and it has freed up SO much space in our cutlery drawer that we can now store teas, small Tupperware, etc. vs. before it was just a mess of utensils."

    Promising review: "I had never seen this before I bought it, and holy crap it changed my life. So. Much. Room. There is so much room left in my drawer now that I moved stuff from another drawer and I have an entirely empty drawer in my kitchen now. Now only HALF the drawer is silverware and the other half is spatulas and cooking utensils. It is great. It also seems very sturdy. Highly recommend." —van31050

    Get it from Amazon for $9.60+ (available in three colors and another style). 

    8. A super-sleek velvet ottoman — pop open the top for some sneaky storage for your candles, remotes, and other junk, because with apartment living, sometimes you gotta get creative. Plus, it makes a great footrest, vanity chair, or extra seat when friends are over!

    One TikToker has bought several and says they have lasted 2+ years! You can see it in action on TikTok here

    Ornavo Home is a small business that makes stylish home furniture and storage solutions. 

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in, and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute. (And it comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)"

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in five colors).

    9. A raining cloud essential oil diffuser made for anyone who loves the sound of rain. This diffuser is basically 2-in-1 relaxation, since you can add essential oils for aromatherapy *and* it makes a trickling sound like little raindrops — perfect for adding calming vibes to your space.

    It features seven different colors for customizable mood lighting, three levels of brightness, and five water flow speeds. You can hear how the trickling water sounds in this reviewer video!

    See it in action on TikTok!

    Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy it. This may be my favorite purchase yet. The rain sound is so relaxing and you can add in any oil to have any sound. It’s easy to use and has various light settings so you can dim it or turn it off if you prefer. I love it!" —Michele F

    "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me." —Violet

    Get it from Amazon for $56.80

    10. A wavy full-length mirror giving you the coolest spot for outfit checks and selfies, and a showstopping piece of decor that'll elevate your space. The wood frame is actually wrapped in padded flannel and feels like velvet, which adds to its upscale aesthetic.

    Watch an unpacking and styling video of the mirror on TikTok. You can lean it against a wall or mount it if needed! (BTW, this has a similar vibe as the famous Ultrafragola mirror for a whole lot less $$$.)

    Promising review: "I was nervous to buy this when it first came out but it arrived perfectly intact and is absolutely beautiful. The border is like a velvet suede and looks SO nice." —Elizabeth P. Galvis 

    Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in five colors).

    11. A Grosche moka pot, aka a stovetop espresso maker if you've been *dying* to whip up some delicious lattes and other ~fancy~ coffee drinks at home but don't have the room (or the budget) for an espresso machine. It's super easy to use, has a durable stone finish, and comes in some gorgeous shades, including speckled pink, gray, and mint.

    Check it out on TikTok! The reviewer demonstrates how they use it on the stove for making espresso for their lattes. 

    Promising review: "Greatest purchase in the last five years!!! I have always been a coffee drinker but I recently purchased a moka pot to make iced espressos during the summer. Quickly it became an everyday thing! I love this moka pot more than any other item in my kitchen other than my actual coffee pot brewer! I had bought a cheap one elsewhere and that lasted about three weeks before falling apart. I spent a little more money for a quality product and have never looked back! I recommend this particular moka pot as it was slightly more than the cheap ones but less than some of the bigger name brands. It has lasted me two and a half years now without ever giving me a problem. Definitely a customer for life." —A. Arvy

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 12 colors and five sizes). 

    12. mini projector to turn your bedroom (or living room) into a cozy cave for watching movies and TV or playing video games, just by taking advantage of a plain white wall. It means you don't have to have a bulky TV, and it can connect to phones and laptops, streaming devices like Fire TV Stick and Roku, gaming consoles, and more!

    gif showing the projector and an anime projected on the wall with it
    reviewer watching a show on the projector

    This comes with a 100-inch projector screen to use if needed! It has built-in speakers for audio but can also connect to Bluetooth speakers or headphones if you have them. (Note: The Bluetooth is only for audio device connection, not smartphones.)

    Check out an unboxing on TikTok!

    Promising review: "Omg I love this so much. It’s compact and the internal audio and picture are both great quality. I decided to project directly onto my wall and it’s saving me so much space in my bedroom not having a TV on a stand and I didn’t want to hang one on the wall and fix those holes again. I plugged a Fire Stick directly into the projector and use my cable app to watch TV along with the streaming apps. I just love this." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99

    13. Stunning ceramic book vases from Chronicle Books' Bibliophile collection that are absolutely brimming with literary charm — why would you store fresh flowers or kitchen utensils in anything else when these perfect pieces exist?

    See it on TikTok!

    Promising review: "I bought all three vases in this collection and love them all. They were all securely packed and in perfect condition. The gold foil beautifully accents them. I might buy more as gifts because these are so good! The perfect home decor piece!" —Katie

    Get all three vases from Amazon: Collected Curiosities for $26.96, A Compendium of Flowers for $34.95, and The Writer's Companion for $17

    14. Or a transparent book vase, appropriately titled The Mystery of Growth, that'll inspire you to treat yourself to fresh flowers — because whether you're single or in a relationship, you don't need to wait for anyone else to surprise you with a bouquet (*cue "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus*). 💐

    the transparent vase filled with a bouquet
    the book vase tucked in between other books

    Peep this gorgeous book vase on TikTok! I also highly recommend looking through the Amazon review images because every single one looks like it belongs in a magazine.

    Promising review: "I love all things books — so when this popped up in my feed, I had to have it. I ordered it ASAP. It arrived ASAP. I bought tulips ASAP. And it's PERFECT! This is the latest addition to my home office and I love staring at it! 😄 Save time — buy at least two!" —ED

    Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in five transparent colors).

    15. Plus, a realistic-looking bunch of silk tulips if you don't always have the time or money to keep fresh flowers around — they'll have the same mood-lifting effect and give you an excuse to keep your prettiest vases out all the time. 

    I recently bought the "shades of pink" set for this exact reason: to keep them out 24/7 in my beloved book vase (the same one as above). They look absolutely gorgeous and definitely very real from a distance, and the stems are the perfect length; I didn't have to trim them to fit. I could definitely see myself picking up another set!

    Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy. Obsessed — these look so cute and real, I couldn't recommend them more! A must have :)" —Sydney

    "They look real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and are shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S.

    Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in dozens of colors). 

    16. A popular checkerboard throw blanket — I'm absolutely *living* for the sage green shade, but it comes in other beautiful colors as well. It'll look gorgeous in your space, but more important, it's luxuriously soft, making it the perfect accessory for your evenings spent reading or catching up on shows.

    Also, reviewers consider this a great alternative to the popular Barefoot Dreams throw (which is p-r-i-c-e-y). See it on TikTok!

    Promising review: "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5-foot-10 tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven’t experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket." —JH

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven colors and four sizes). 

    17. A "flaming" humidifier that's not actually on fire (so you won't accidentally wake up your whole building with smoke alarms), but it'll *look* like a tabletop fireplace with its mixture of steam and light. Add a few drops of essential oils for some relaxing aromatherapy, and you've got one cozy evening ahead of you.

    Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).

    18. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" in case you don't have room for a coffee table — it can hold your remotes, drinks, and snacks so you and your roomie can gather all the essentials for your Love is Blind binge without anyone accidentally spilling their wine on the couch.

    Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. 

    Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.

    Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.  

    19. Ceramic head vases that'll bring so much whimsical charm. Maybe looking at these every day will have creativity sprouting out of you in no time.

    See them on TikTok!

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I purchased this because I have a lil' Friday tradition of going to Trader Joe's and buying the $3.99 'petite bouquets' and it is the absolute perfect size for a mini bouquet. It is a treat to look at on my windowsill, 11/10 recommend for anyone who wants a bright spot in their living room!" 

    Promising review: "I was unsure about the quality, but they’re so gorgeous and feel luxurious. I have one in my bedroom and living room and I love them! I won’t look anymore for more!" —Sunshine Iino

    Get the set of two ceramic head vases from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in black or white). 

    20. A protective sofa cover because if you're a pet parent, you know the struggle of keeping your couch clean, but most covers are such an eyesore. This one comes in beautiful shades and a bunch of sizes to fit your sofa; plus, it's comfy, non-slip, scratch-resistant, *and* machine washable!

    Adding this to my wishlist ASAP because two cats and a dark blue velvet sofa? NOT a good mix. 

    Get a closer look at it on TikTok! Be sure to pay close attention to the measurements before buying — they're presented in both centimeters and inches. 

    Promising review: "Although it seemed to take forever to ship and arrive, it is absolutely worth the wait. It is so soft, fits so perfectly on my couch, doesn’t move when I sit on it or when the dog jumps up, and looks nice too! I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and I hope it helps my couch to last a long time. I will update after awhile to be sure it holds up. PSA: Read the measurement description before you order. 

    "After one month, zero regrets! It has been worth every penny. The couch cover is a fraction of the cost of my couch, so I think it’s been very worth it to help keep the fabric on my couch intact. I washed on delicate and tumble dried it on low by itself. Held up great. Again, I love it! Worth the wait and the cost." —sgur

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in 13 sizes and 14 colors). 

    21. And an adorable flower-shaped pet bed that won't take up much space or clash with your aesthetic, but it *will* give you precious pup or kitty the coziest spot to curl up for a snooze.

    Promising review: "I have never been so excited to write a review. The beds come vacuum packed. I tossed in dryer for 15 minutes and puffed right up. They are so beautiful and elegant. An upscale look at a reasonable price. My chihuahuas love them. Wide color assortment." —Countess

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four sizes and seven colors). 

    22. A unique squiggle shelf to use your bare wall space as both sneaky organization and playful decor, letting you store plants, books, and other items off the ground while adding a pop of color.

    24. An absurdly adorable mushroom kitchen timer that'll be your buddy on cozy Saturday mornings spent baking muffins. It doesn't need any batteries!

    Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (available in four colors). 

    25. A brilliant Pizza Pack because your tiny fridge can't accommodate that extra-large box from Domino's, and you're tired of buying foil or folding slices to fit into Tupperware. These let you neatly stack up to five leftover slices in one container, with dividers to keep them from sticking, so you can stash Friday's leftovers in the corner instead of taking up the whole bottom shelf.

It's easy to keep the pieces separate from others and you don't have a large bulky box letting your crust dry out. You can use it for one piece or several — it is very easy to expand. The best part is that it is very easy to clean. Storing the Pizza Pack when not in use doesn't take up a lot of space either. Try it." —B. Cirincione

    Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in six colors). 

    26. And a space-saving yogurt organizer if your roommate's oat milk and cans of LaCroix leave very little room for your morning yogurt, and you're tired of digging in the back for it. This'll keep them easily accessible and free up shelf space in your already cramped fridge.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in packs of one or two).

    27. A minimalist fruit bowl that, brilliantly, is also a colander — the base comes off for easy drainage so your fruit and veggies dry thoroughly after washing. Plus, you can free up some space in your fridge by keeping things like bananas and onions out in this (maybe you'll actually remember to eat them).

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    28. A set of adhesive shower shelves if you're tired of knocking over your roommate's shampoo and conditioner every time you step into the bath. These look super nice and have plenty of room for all your shower supplies, so they're not haphazardly scattered around the edge of your tub.

    Promising reviews: "I saw these on TikTok and was hesitant to try them but I absolutely LOVE THEM. I live in an apartment and the shower head that I have doesn’t allow me to hang a normal caddy so when I saw these, I had to try them! They are super sticky, sturdy and do not rust!!!" —Samantha

    "Recently moved into a new apartment and not a single thing would stick to my shower wall. I was really worried that this wouldn't stick but boy was I wrong. They have not moved an inch. It seems like these shelves can handle a lot of weight and are super sturdy. I hated having all of my products on the shower floor and this has been the perfect fix, especially given the low price. Also love how it comes in black as the silver shower pieces I’ve purchased in the past seemed to get gross and rust over time." —Mandalin Hennessee

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $29.99 (available in matte black or polished silver). 

    29. A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs so you can feel *extra* fancy drinking your lattes, tea, or [insert drink of choice here]. Heck, you could even eat yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, or other little snacks out of this and I would support it 100%.

    Hello, I bought this night-light on a whim a few months ago and it might be the best $6 I've ever spent in my life. I have it plugged into an outlet near the floor of my kitchen, near my cats' water fountain and food bowls, and it surprisingly provides a good amount of light to see by — not to mention looking absolutely ADORABLE. Seriously, I have to take a moment to appreciate this light every time I walk into the kitchen at night — the way it changes colors is so beautiful! And I *love* that it adds some extra light near the ground for my cats to see their food and water, too. The light flips on automatically when it gets dark, so you don't have to remember to turn it on and off. Also, you might have to gently pull apart / "fluff" the leaves and mushrooms a bit since they come a bit squished inside the packaging, but they'll take on a good shape in no time.

    36. Michael Scott dishwasher magnet to make a pretty boring and sometimes tedious kitchen task a little more fun — and hopefully keep your roommates from adding dirty dishes to a clean dishwasher. Because it's sort of hard to miss Michael's smiling face staring up at you with the word CLEAN. 

    You can get a closer look at this simply incredible magnet on TikTok.

    Promising review: "My whole family is a fan of The Office, so when I was searching for a magnet we could use on our dishwasher, this was the hands down winner. Does it go with my farmhouse decor? Nope, not at all. But it does get the attention of two teenage boys. Had I got with something a bit more my decor style, I can guarantee you it would not be as useful. I mean, we all would much rather see Prison Mike staring back at us than suit and tie Michael Scott, right? And there is only one way for that to happen...clean out the dishwasher!" —R. Funk

    Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and automatically liked it! I love that it comes in so many different colors and the top is wood. I drink lots of water and needed a cup I could take with me everywhere. I could also put iced coffee in it too. I love that it came with two straws, a clear one and white. I will be purchasing another one for my husband and also one for my mom in different colors!" —Rose

    Promising review: "So cute! A TikToker I follow had one in her room, and I wanted one, so I ordered this. It's surprisingly heavy-duty for the price — it's clearly good quality. It was easy to hang up, and I love how it looks in my room! The phases were individually wrapped to keep them nice, which I appreciated. This would make a great gift, and it's worth the cost!" —Catherine Enters
