1. A gold-tone bar cart from Novogratz to bring a little Jazz Age glam to your home. This portable, wheelable piece has three shelves ready and is waiting to hold all of your favorite cocktail accoutrements — and hey, if cocktails aren’t your thing, you can use it as a bookshelf, a display space, or the fanciest cleaning supply storage you could possibly imagine.
2. An elegant, velvet-upholstered barrel chair with a flared, seashell-like back that’ll zhuzh up any room you put it in. Speaking of, it works just about anywhere, and for any purpose: dining chair, accent chair, vanity chair, you name it.
3. An industrial-glam accent mirror, because who says utilitarian has to be boring? This round, wall-hung pick is framed in tones of rustic bronze and antiqued gold for the perfect badass-but-still-beautiful look — and besides, nothing helps open up a space like a mirror to bounce around a little light, right?
4. A faux leather ottoman that looks pretty darn close to the real thing, so you can put your toesies up with panache. A combination of curved edges and clean lines make this little footrest simultaneously contemporary and timeless, which means it will never, ever go out of style.
5. A trio of brightly colored elephant statuettes that’ll bring a fun pop of color to your favorite side table or mantlepiece. Made of polyresin, each elephant is hand-painted, so no two are alike. Also, they’re adorable.
6. Some playful, palm frond-patterned peel-and-stick wallpaper, because you don’t have to spend your days staring at plain, white walls just because you rent. This self-adhesive wallpaper is easy-peasy to install and comes in four colors. You don’t have to use it just for your walls, either — this stuff can easily spruce up a nightstand, a dresser, or the back of an open shelf, too.
7. A mid-century modern-inspired loveseat in a bright, bold color to bring some structured whimsy to your living room. With solid wood legs and linen upholstery, this cute little sofa is just right for two.
8. A 25-pack of sleek, modern drawer pulls for the easiest, most impactful kitchen cabinet upgrade ever. It’s truly astonishing how much of a difference just swapping out the hardware can make when it comes to modernizing a dated kitchen — and the clean lines on these bar pulls will keep them in vogue for years to come.
9. A set of dishwasher-, microwave-, and oven-safe stoneware dishes that’ll dress up your dining table with understated elegance. This 16-piece service for four includes dinner plates, salad plates, soup bowls, and cereal bowls — and, I mean, let’s be honest: We all deserve to feel fancy even when dinner is cereal. No judgment.
10. A pair of wicker Papasan chairs, because sitting inside a giant basket is both classier and more comfortable than you would expect. Dress ‘em up with a couple of colorful throw cushions and voilà — your home has become a resort paradise with only the barest minimum of effort on your part.
11. A throw pillow adorned with a metallic, abstract design, because sometimes, a teensy bit of shine is all you need. Bonus: The cover is removable for easy washing.
12. A faux marble desk with hairpin legs from Novogratz, so you can give yourself the mid-century modern WFH space of your classiest interior design dreams. With a streamlined silhouette and two cubbyholes, this pick is perfect from compact spaces — and it’s multifunctional, too. Reviewers have used it not just as a desk, but also as a console table, a makeup vanity, and more.
13. A trio of pastel kitchen canisters to dress up your countertops while also giving you a place to stash your beloved tea collection (or sugar, or cooking utensils, or whatever else you feel like storing in ‘em). Note: The ceramic containers themselves are dishwasher-, microwave-, and oven-safe, but the bamboo lids aren’t, so make sure you take the lids off before you try to stick 'em in any of those appliances.
14. A rattan coffee table tray, because somehow, the simple act of placing items on a tray makes them look intentional, rather than random and cluttered. No one has to know that the only reason that pile of paperbacks is in there is because you forgot to move them back into your bookshelf after your last readingstravaganza.
15. Some peel-and-stick subway tiles that’ll transform your outmoded kitchen backsplash into the on-trend focal point you’ve always wanted. Self-adhesive and easily installed, these PVC tiles can give your space an entirely new feel in only a day’s time.
16. A tufted velvet chaise, because a ~fainting couch~ will never NOT look fancy. With its rolled arm and swooping back, this pick is perfect for perching on while drinking tea and imagining you’re taking society on by storm à la Bridgerton.
17. A mid-century modern-style nightstand with a gold-accented honeycomb pattern that’ll give your bedroom some flashy flair. A closed drawer gives you somewhere to stash lip balm, your retainer, and other bedtime necessities you might want to keep out of sight, while the open shelf lets you display your favorite knickknacks. Plus, the piece is made of solid acacia wood, so you know it’s going to last.
18. A plug-in wall sconce, so you can light up your life without needing to mess with your apartment’s wiring. Just mount this chic gold number near an outlet, plug it in, and turn it on – no electrician required!
19. A sleek and sophisticated metal headboard that’ll add a huge amount of visual interest to the wall behind your bed. The open, angled design is modern enough to avoid looking dated, while simultaneously being classic enough to go with just about any style or aesthetic.
20. A geometric-framed coffee table to anchor your living room without weighing it down, visually speaking. Because the metal frame is wire-style, it’ll keep your space looking light and airy – and at the same time, the mango wood top will give you something solid to rest both your eyes and your coffee cup on.
21. A rustic trestle dining table that makes a statement without being overstated. Made from a combination of rubberwood and manufactured wood, this eye-catching piece seats four – perfect for apartment living, and just what you need to give your dining area an upgrade.
22. And a pair of solid wood dining chairs with a classic yet modern silhouette, because your butt deserves somewhere chic to sit when you’re chowing down. Reviewers are particularly taken with their versatility; they work with virtually any aesthetic, while also being, y’know, not boring. The opposite of boring, in fact.
23. A geometric bookcase that turns your favorite reads into a piece of art. Your shelfies will never be the same with this angled piece in the frame.
24. A set of four cloth napkins with silvery polka-dots, because your table deserves better than folded squares of paper towel. These playful napkins are made of cotton, so they’re easy to care for — just throw ‘em in the washing machine when they need cleaning and you’re good to go.
25. Some peel-and-stick floor tiles in an elegant, gothic print, because changing up your floors doesn’t have to cost a proverbial arm and a leg. Laying these suckers out over worn or dirty flooring can do wonders to transform a space; heck, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even use them to makeover furniture, like the front of your kitchen island. Talk about versatility!
26. A rice paper room divider screen with a gorgeous plum blossom print that looks way more expensive than it actually is. Whether you use it to split up your space or place it along the wall for some visual impact, this four-panel, pine-framed screen adds a ton of pizzazz with almost no effort.
27. An abstract-print area rug, because nothing dresses up a room like something to cover up your sad, bare floors. The distressed, white and navy pattern on this pick is basically modern art you can walk on — and you will want to walk on it. Reviewers say it's super soft on toes and feet.
28. A three-door dresser with mirrored, filigreed doors that’ll glitz up your home in a flash. Whether you use it to store your clothes, as a sideboard in your kitchen or dining area, or as a media console, its reflective front will add both sparkle AND storage. Heck yes.
29. A ceramic soap dispenser, because something this pretty — and reusable! — definitely beats the dingy plastic bottle you’ve had sitting next to your sink for…let’s call it far too long and leave it at that, shall we? Whether you look at the glaze pattern and see big ol’ flowers or just artful blobs, there’s no denying it’s a huge step up from a single-use dispenser.
30. A storage bench with a mini barn-style door, because a thoughtfully-designed entryway goes a long way towards creating a welcoming environment to come home to. If the cottagecore aesthetic is your jam, this bench’s sliding door should be right up your proverbial alley — and you move it around to reveal or hide whatever you decide to stash on the six cubbyhole shelves below.
31. And a set of soft, Egyptian cotton towels, because nothing says “I have my life together” like walking into a bathroom and seeing bath sheets, hand towels, and wash cloths that all match. This eight-piece set has two of each of those, plus two “fingertip towels” (how luxurious!).
