This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
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. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

Promising review: "If you’re even considering doing it JUST DO IT!! I can’t even begin to tell you how easy this was and the end result is mind blowing! When people come over (we’re remodeling our newly purchased home built in 1865) their jaws drop. We put this in the sunroom/eat in kitchen area. We love it so much we’ll be doing it in the bar area of the dining room. When you actually get them on the ceiling and look at your finished product, you’d never guess it’s styrofoam. Caulking between the tiles was crucial to giving its overall look. That was the most difficult part. My advice (from watching hours of YouTube videos and doing research) find the center of the ceiling and work your way out. It took us two hours to do a fairly large space. We definitely overestimated how many it would take but I’m glad we had extra on hand in the case we messed one up. Also — make sure your blade is SHARP!" —Steven

And adding soft padding to walls where your kids love to jump around (i.e. sofas, beds, etc.) may save you from dealing with head bonk tears to boot!

Get it from Amazon for $189+ (available in 31 colors and two sizes).
Promising review: "This made my room look so complete and artistically styled. I have lots of white walls and a high ceiling. I wish they were a little bigger but it’s hard to gauge size until you get them. They were easy to reposition. I would have liked the stems to have been connected to the flower tops though. I didn’t like piecing them together because the finished result isn’t as smooth. I’m sure it saves on paper for the supplier so I get why." —Kelly
Get them from Amazon for $12.80+ (available in seven styles).
Promising review: "This comes just as pictured and described. It is comfortable and looks luxurious. It's great for floor seating." —AKhan

Promising review: "As I unwrapped the safety packaging, I found myself in awe at how beautiful this piece really is in person. You can tell it was put together by loving hands. They included the sweetest note with this piece that together with the care and time this purchase took, really made you a part of the family it came from. I don’t consider myself someone who is attached to material things, but this art came with some strong positive vibes that we really needed in our household. I can’t thank the creators enough for the opportunity to purchase this piece. It is now my favorite Amazon purchase." —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $55.90+ (available in three colors).
Promising review: "My apartment gets very little sunlight, but every single night I look forward to when the sun sets so I can watch the light dance around the room. This simple little mirrored ball has brought me so much joy. Definitely recommend! Yes, there are areas where the mirror pieces are applied a little haphazardly but it’s mostly at the bottom and quite frankly I don’t care considering how affordable this thing is." —Holly
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "These really dressed up our garage door!!!! UPDATE!! It has been almost a year since I purchased these. They have faded ever so slightly but still hold on to the metal of the garage door and have not cracked with the cold of winter or heat of summer. Very pleased!!!" —Robert R
Get a set of four hinges and two handles on Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three kit styles).
Promising review: "Excellent product. Very easy to use. We were able to paint our front door with two coats and be finished all in one day. Product is a very thick consistency that causes it not to drip, run, splatter or ruin your paint brushes. Very little prep work and clean up. Really nice that they have an app that lets you take a pic of your door and try all of the colors. So you get a good idea of how your door will look when you actually paint it. I encourage everyone to try it." —JAY

Promising review: "We do not use our fireplace and we were tired of the bare look. We decided to give the fireplace area a little glam and this piece looks amazing in it.

Get it from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in birch and oak designs).
Promising review: "These are beautiful bowls. I love bright colors and patterns. I loved these bowls the minute I laid my eyes on them. They are thick porcelain with great details. They are fine to place in the dishwasher and work well in the microwave. They seems very durable, they’ve completely lived up-to my expectation." —Kawaii halstead
Get six from Amazon for $26.42+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "The rug looks just like the pictures. Pretty and a little boho. There was a bit of 'shedding' here and there but not much. I would recommend a rug pad as it does slip around on hard floors. The size is perfect for in front of my kitchen sink as it's longer than a standard mat." —JM

Promising review: "Love! I’ve been using decals to brighten up boring spaces for a while. So far these are my favorite. They're super easy to put together. They stick to the wall super well and they look great! I ended up buying five packages to cover the entire wall and had about two sheets left over. I love my new bedroom!" —Brynn Delgado

Promising review: "This wallpaper has all the looks of expensive, sexy wallpaper without the high price. I used it to cover a simple dresser which I also purchased through Amazon (pictured above, left). The wallpaper is strong and has a great texture to it. I would recommend this wallpaper to anyone. This is not a true deep black if you're looking for that. It definitely have a lot of gray tones in it." —Jake Strickland

Promising review: "Got exactly what I expected. Not a high-end, fancy fixture, but a nicely priced, fun lamp I could drop in a corner and add some lumens to my home office. Super easy to assemble. Came with extra bolts/washers/etc. and I LOVE that. Hate when a company fails to include the required hardware for assembly. Love that they included extra! I found that once assembled and positioned, I had to go back once to tighten everything. Not sure if that was because I was not aggressive enough the first time, but once I went over it again, works great — stays in place. Want something charming, unpretentious, and fun that lights up a section of room? I recommend you consider this floor-lamp." —John R.
Get it from Amazon for $92.86+ (available in six colors).
Promising review: "This is a delightful and fun book. If you've ever been to someone's home where their toilet paper is embellished, you would be thinking "how do they do that?' This is a fun, inexpensive way to spend some time relaxing and learning toilet paper origami. Who knew? My daughter and granddaughters love it as a craft. Don't bash it 'til you've tried it! You can even leave cute rolls of spare tissue around the bathroom." —Kindle Customer BGCW
