    32 Cheap Products That Will Make Your Home Look ~Expensive~

    The only thing better than a well-decorated home is a well-decorated home where no piece cost over $50.

    1. A set of peel-and-stick floor tiles to completely refresh your floor without the hassle of ripping it all out. This is also a great option for renters who aren't allowed to do any reconstruction but cannot go one more day staring at the dingy tiles on the bathroom floor.

    Promising review: "These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we build a house. We wanted to do a little updating but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self adhesive flooring and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great and it's been a few weeks and we've had no issues. I love the texture and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" —Heather Wine

    Get a set of 10 tiles from Amazon for $13.32+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and a two-pack).

    2. An arched mirror you can use as a floor mirror or mounted like the picture below. No matter what you choose to do with it, this will make a gorg addition to any room.

    Promising review: "These are beautiful and worth the money. They came well packaged and undamaged. It’s the perfect look for our remodeled bathroom. If you’re considering ordering them, do it. You won’t regret it. Also, the color isn’t a bold gold but not bronze gold either…matte gold if I had to describe it. It matched our fixtures perfectly." —Anoyek H.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four sizes and either black or gold).

    3. A wireless crystal table lamp with three color settings so you can set the perfect ambiance. When it's lit, it'll cast stunning designs onto your walls. Each charge lasts for 10–12 hours of light, which means you can have it on all day to really set the mood.

    Promising review: "Love this product! So easy and convenient. As a matter of fact, I have showed a few people and two have already ordered one. They thought it was such an awesome idea and it looks fantastic at night. And I love the fact that you charge it instead of having a plug in the wall. So convenient." —kim davis

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    4. Or a mushroom table lamp that comes with an LED bulb so you can set it up straight out of the box. And this bad boy is dimmable so you can have it turned up when you're studying and turn it down while you get ready for bed.

    See an unboxing TikTok here, and another video turning on the lamp (the warm light is gorgeous). 

    Promising review: "I love mine. I look at it, and it just cheers me up. It goes really well with my white color scheme. It looks mostly white with some rainbow hints that dance across it as you move around the room. There are some bubbles, and I like them because I think the bubbles show that it is authentically hand-crafted. I'm very tempted to buy more, but I understand each one will look different — don't expect them to match each other." —C Gaudet

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 13 styles).

    5. Orrrr a leather-wrapped table lamp, which comes in sooo many colors you can find one to fit every room in your house. Nobody is gonna believe you paid under $30 for this stunning piece.

    Promising review: "I bought these lamps for my bedroom. My nightstands are fairly small and the lamps fit perfectly and the color is spot-on. I was looking at lamps that were much more expensive and I'm so glad I chose these. This product is available at other stores, including Home Depot, but Amazon had the best price. Perfect for what I needed. Very happy with this purchase." —E-Shopper

    Get it from Amazon for $27.10+ (available in 20 colors and with or without a bulb).

    Get them from Amazon for $18.19+ (available in five styles).

    13. A roll of scented liners so every time you open your drawer you'll be greeted by a delicious aroma and gorgeous pattern. This is especially great for any older pieces of furniture that may be starting to look a bit dingy but you are not ready to part with.

    Merriton is a woman-owned small business that sells rolls of scented liners for dressers and linen closets. 

    It is recommended that you unroll the paper and lay it flat with something heavy on it before installing so the edges don't curl when you install it.

    Promising review: "This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance." —Trillium

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three patterns).

    14. A 3D flower wall hanging because who says art has to be 2D?! Buy these and you'll be raving about how you ~picked~ a good piece.

    Promising review: "This is a really gorgeous piece of wall art! I appreciate that it’s very delicate, yet still stands out — it's the perfect accent for the gallery wall in my bedroom. They also included a tiny accent butterfly with my order, which was so sweet and very much appreciated. Shipping was super quick and my item was securely packed. Can’t recommend this enough!" —Andrea DiBenedetto

    Get it from Wire and Mesh Art for $27.20+ (originally $34+; available in four sizes and three colors).

    15. A sofa table perfect for an entryway that needs a skinny table for you to display some cute pictures, books, and plants. Or put it behind your couch if you just need some extra storage but truly do not have space for a large piece of furniture.

    Promising review: "This arrived sooner than expected! It was easy to put together. You don’t need any special tools and can do it by yourself. It worked perfectly for my foyer, and I was able to tuck the dog bowls under it with no problem. Clutter and crowded foyer, begone! I’d buy it again." —genabeebers

    Get it from Amazon for $42.71.

    16. A stunning ceiling fixture unlike anything I've ever seen before. You should probably go ahead and hang it in your bedroom so you can stare up at it every night while you lie in bed. And to make it better, reviewers are loving that it's super easy to install.

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two colors).

    18. A set of three modern pillow covers that'll add a little pop to your couch. The designs are different enough to make them uniquely interesting, but still go together so they can all be arranged on the same piece of furniture. You could probably fool your friends into thinking you paid well over $20 each.

    Don't forget to grab some pillow inserts!

    Promising review: "I LOVE these pillow cases. I’ve been shopping around for something with a boho touch for a while and finally found these. I love that I can take them off to wash.

    Promising review: "These curtains were everything I didn't know I needed! I used two panels in my living room on my French patio doors and they provide a little privacy, but allow so much sunshine in the room. So beautiful and make the space look really elegant! I loved them so much that I bought a second set for my dining room windows too :) For the price point....SO WORTH IT! Elegant and airy!" —Celest Rayanne

    24. candle lamp warmer so you can experience and appreciate the scents of your favorite candles without having to light 'em. Now you don't have to worry if your pets or kids will accidentally touch the flame, or worse, if you forget to blow it out before leaving the house.

    Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer

    Promising review: "This was perfect for my wife and me. She especially loves to have the scent of candles throughout the day, but because of our pets, we can't have lit candles. We tried this with both a jar candle and a glass bowl with some wax melts, and it worked perfectly for both. One of my wife's favorite features is the on/off switch on the cord, rather than having an ugly button or knob on the lamp/light itself. It's really a statement piece, like a desk lamp with a pretty wooden base. Overall, it works well for what it is and is well worth the money." —Scott Rarden

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three styles and 10 colors). 

    25. A set of removable stair tile decals because you don't have to settle for boring risers. Just peel and stick these to add a subtle but oh-so-gorgeous pop on an otherwise plain area of your house.

    Each set comes with a cover for the base and individual ones for each cushion (that number depends on which size you choose).

    Promising review: "I currently rent, and couldn't stand looking at these cabinets that have been painted 20 different times. So I decided to spice them up. And this product is downright awesome. I bought the aged color, to give it an antique look. I wasn't sure the stain would stick just because it a gloss finish and how many times they were painted before, but no problem!! The color is amazing and looks like I have new cabinets!" —Jennifer Carr

    Get it from Amazon for $20.06+ (available in 15 colors and multipacks).

    The film is made from vinyl/PVC film and is water-resistant. To apply, you cut the film to the size you need, remove the backing paper, put it on any dry and flat surface using a smoother or cloth, and it will look as good as new.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! I can't believe how much this brightened up our bathroom!! The paper is very thick and seems very durable!! It looks beautiful! It is mostly easy to install. Just takes some patience. I watched videos on how other people did it first before attempting it myself which I think really helped!! Using a blow dryer to smooth it on helps prevent bubbles from getting caught underneath the paper. This cheap update made such a difference!!!"—Anna F.
