If you've ever wanted your home to look like it belongs on the cover of a magazine, your dreams are about to come true.

    Promising review: "We love our new strip lights so much that I decided to buy a second set. The first one was installed above the kitchen cabinets where we placed some artwork and vases. The second set was placed under the kitchen island top. Grandkids love speaking to Alexa to change the colors of the lights. Set up was extremely easy and it works with the Alexa app." —junin07

    Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five colors and two sizes).

    Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall." —J.B.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 12 sizes).

    8. A shelf floor lamp that does exactly that — it gives you a place to store small items and illuminates your space. It comes with USB charging ports and electrical outlets, so you'll have another place to charge your electronic devices.

    Promising review: "As an Airbnb owner, I have found that it's very important that we give off a clean and cohesive look and feel for all of our guests.

We highly recommend these!" —Mary C. B.

    Promising review: "I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something that seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." —Rebecca Morea

    Promising review: "For the price, you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that.

    Promising review: "These curtains are beautiful! They’re even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch, plus the emerald color looks so elegant. Before you hang them, I would advise you steam them to get the wrinkle out. I can’t wait to get another color! You’ll be happy with your purchase." —Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in five sizes and 21 colors).

    15. An antique-inspired mirror that will make you feel like royalty and have you asking, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" while you stare deeply into your reflection — just like a Disney princess.

    BTW, it's plastic and super lightweight, so no need for heavy-duty hardware when it comes to hanging it.

    Promising review: "This was everything I had hoped it would be. It is light, easy to hang, and just beautiful! The weight really helps in the installation as I have plaster walls and can use those Command strips on this. Some mirrors are so heavy — this one isn't. It's just beautiful. Highly recommend.

    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 reviewer-beloved vintage-inspired patchwork quilt to warm up your always-cold friend and to add a pop of color to your couch or recliner. I'm 100% sure that once you grab this quilted masterpiece, you'll take the best nap in the history of naps.

    Promising review: "Love the look of these. Glad I ordered these candles. They look like real candles. Great value for the money and the remote control timer works great. You can set them for two, four or six hours and they will go off and come on at the same time the next day!" —Lynda Johnson

    Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four styles).

    20. Or a super cool candle lamp warmer — to fill your home with the rich aroma from your candle, without a lighter. Reviewers say this lamp will help your candle last longer, since it never burns. 

    Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer

    Promising review: "This product is not only visually appealing in a design aspect, but also works great. The candles I place under it melt quickly and the scent is much stronger than by just lighting the candle. The wax also lasts much longer. Overall a great product and an awesome price. P.S. It also came with an extra light bulb!" —Braydon S.

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in nine colors/styles).

    Promising review: "OK guys. Here’s the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TL;DR: This is an amazing little product, and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago, and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 has changed my life and I’ve only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you, Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting while I’m journaling, reading, watching TV, anything really! I would pay two or three times the price for this thing. It’s 100% worth it." —KatieM

    Get it from Amazon for $32.88+ (available in three designs).

    23. An anti-fatigue kitchen mat that'll compliment the aesthetic in your lovely kitchen. It's non-slip, stain-resistant, and made with layers of foam so your feet won't get tired while washing dishes.

    Promising review: "It took me forever to find a good mat, and I’m so happy I found this one! The color and pattern are nice. It’s comfy to stand on while I’m prepping and cooking; it’s definitely reduced my fatigue and knee pain by a ton. Firm but cushiony. ... It’s really easy to clean, and looks great still after a few months of use! We have a very active kitchen, and it’s been through a lot so far, and survived unscathed, so I’m looking forward to a long life from it. I’ll probably buy a longer one to go on the other side of the kitchen!" —Cora Baker

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in five sizes and 16 colors/patterns).

    24. A set of metallic shower corner shelves — not only will they add some much-needed storage in your bathroom, but they'll also instantly up the the sophistication of your bathroom decor. Look how gorgeous that gold looks against the marble tile!

    Promising review: "We installed these shelves using the epoxy in our tile shower at home, and we liked them so much, we bought them again when we were remodeling another house. They hold the right amount. They have never come even a little loose." —Marsha dePuy

    P.S. The labels are included! 

    Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of Q-tips and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" —tara savage 

    Get the set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99.

    27. handmade ceramic soap dish featuring a built-in drainage design so you'll never touch another disgustingly slimy bar of soap.

    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 three sizes and 34 colors).

    29. A floating bookshelf that'll hold up to 15 pounds and allow you to cleverly decorate your bedroom while showing off your personality — or your impressive book collection. Plus, it will look like magic is holding things up on your wall.

    Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere

These scratch-resistant tiles are easy to install, durable, easy to clean, and have a super strong adhesive. Grab a few packs and take your bathroom from drab to fab!

    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

    Promising review: "I really like this rug. It is soft depending on the type of rug pad you place underneath. I have none, but it is still comfortable to walk on. I have concrete floors and it is partially under a queen size bed so it does not move around. I have three large dogs and they do not shuffle it around either. You can change out the colors in the room by season with this rug as it has so many beautiful but not glaring colors." —Adam J. Sank

The rug being made of recycled plastic is a great plus. Good for the environment and great looking on my deck! What more can you ask for? Oh, and the price is very reasonable." —arwenabelle

    Get it from Amazon for $61+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

    33. An over-the-toilet storage cabinet so you can declutter your sink and make your bathroom look much more put-together!

    Promising review: "I searched for weeks before deciding on this particular bathroom storage unit. I wanted a cabinet on the top with doors. I love that the panels in the door are actual glass and not plastic like some others. I put this together myself, and it was very easy! It took me a couple of hours, but I took my time to ensure I put everything together correctly. The instructions were easy to understand, and everything went together quiet smoothly. This is very well made, and sturdy! I have no doubts that this will last a long time!" —dolge.

    Get it from Amazon for $111.99+ (available in two colors and two styles).

    There are separate cushions for the covers and straps, so the cover stays in place even after lots of usage.

I got a bigger size, and it actually pulls the room together, making my tiny bathroom look rather chic. Honestly, I think it's great and better for the environment because I don't have to launder it every week." —JamieJo
