1. A cloud-shaped coffee table that looks like it'd be from one of those furniture stores that's SO expensive, you need an appointment just to go inside and look around. Really, though, it's less than $300 and from Amazon. 🤯
Promising review: "I love this coffee table 10 times more than I expected to. It's exactly what I wanted. The rounded edges and shape make it so unique. Such incredible quality for a very, very, reasonable price." —Barbara Cooker
Get it from Amazon for $254.69+ (available in four sizes and two colors).
2. A pair of battery-operated sconces you can post up over the side of your bed, no electrical work necessary. If sitting upright in bed to read a book under the light of your new fixture doesn't make you feel fancy, idk how to help you. 🤷♀️
I just got these for my bedroom and they're simply gorgeous. I am a renter, so I needed an option that didn't require any electrical work and beyond that, I HATE cords, so I wanted to avoid those as well. IMO, the best part about these is that they have rechargeable lightbulbs — so no outlets necessary! I also love the remote control which allows you to set them to a cool or warm tone, dim them, and set a timer if you want them to turn off after a certain amount of time. I consider myself pretty handy, so installing these was no big deal, but I will say, even if you're not Bob the Builder, I think it's pretty simple! All you need is a screwdriver, drill (if you want to use the wall anchors), and 20 minutes. All of the necessary hardware comes included!
Get a set of two from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two finishes).
3. A floor-length arched mirror so when the time comes that you have to dress your whole body again (and not just the part that your colleagues see on Google Meet), you'll be able to gauge if you still understand fashion.
Promising review: "This was the first purchase of my new apartment and totally the best purchase. I looked up all the reviews and pictures before buying it, and I'm 100% satisfied with it. Everyone visiting my apartment tells me it's great, and they take mirror selfies with it. I highly recommend it. I like the size, gold color, shape, and quality." —Beyza Calis
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in five sizes and three finishes).
4. A velvet tufted chair and ottoman if there's quite literally nothing you love more than sitting. (I mean, maybe your pets, but that's a close call.)
Promising review: "This is a great chair. It’s just perfect for reading and is very comfortable. My calico is a big 18-pound cat. When I’m not sitting in it, she is. Easy to assemble. The velvet is of good quality. For the price, you can’t find a better swivel chair and ottoman. Very pleased." —sandee
Get it from Amazon for $189.99+ (available in 17 fabric colors).
5. A set of two nesting drum tables that look like they'd be featured in one of Architectural Digest's celeb home tours. While they're pretty low-profile as is, if you ever need to free up additional space you can tuck them inside of one another like a Russian nesting doll. 🪆
6. A wireless library light you can position over your impressive book collection or favorite family portrait. This thing costs less than 30 bucks, but it'll transform your den into a museum-worthy exhibit.
The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation your self. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
PS: If you're going for an antique look but don't have the budget to buy vintage, I saw a TikToker DIY these with some gold Rub 'n Buff metallic finish and an old makeup brush, and it looked truly incredible!
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
Get it from Amazon for $23.59+ (available in 14 colors).
7. A sculptural coffee table with a wavy wood base SO stunning, I'd consider selling my firstborn for it.
Promising review: "If you’re thinking about it just do it!!! Love this table, super stable and is the perfect size. Just a really freaking cool table" —Billylibba
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $399 (available in two finishes).
8. A modern waterfall bench if you're purposely looking for options that lack storage so your room can't collect clutter.
Promising review: "I was nervous buying this, but it’s perfect! Perfect height, feels so soft, and it's durable! Love that it comes as one piece in a box rather than having to put it together! I also like the height of it. Not super tall, but not awkwardly low either." —Mercedes McKay
Get it from Amazon for $144.04+ (available in four colors).
9. An etagere bookcase where you can display your succulents, tchotchkes, and all of the books you've bought but never cracked open. One day, you'll get to them!!
10. A four-poster canopy bed that'll make you feel like an absolute queen or king even if the only person waiting on you is your cat, and it's because you're five minutes late feeding him dinner.
Promising review: "This bed is absolutely beautiful. It surpassed my expectations for sure. I did see a few reviews that made me skeptical, BUT I decided to go with it. SO GLAD I DID! This is easily my favorite bed I’ve owned. I have a 12-inch mattress. No box spring needed. The bed doesn’t squeak at all if you just tighten the screws all the way. I’m a woman who doesn’t build much and was able to put this together myself in about an hour 30. This is a KING. It fits so well in my apartment. Beyond satisfied with my purchase!" —Dyimand
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in sizes Twin–King and in two finishes).
11. A ready-made gallery wall set with eight frames and matching prints because if you're anything like me, you LOVE the look but get super anxious thinking about curating one on your own.
The set comes with two frames and art in 12"x16", 8"x12", 8"x10", and 6"x8" sizes.
Promising review: "These photos are so nice and great quality for the price. My family room needed a little changing, and these photos were awesome! I also love that the seller provides a sheet of different ways to hang the photos." —Critic
Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in eight different styles).
12. A candle-warming lamp if you're the type who avoids overhead lighting like the plague. If you place it in your kitchen, it'll help dissipate food smells, too, which is a major win!
Promising review: "I've had the ugly plate-style candle warmers before and they don't even come close to this one. This one gives off the nicest glow, and the different styles are so pretty. I love that it has a timer feature and I feel much safer having this instead of lit candles. This would make a great gift for anyone. I will definitely be buying more for other rooms." —Catherine Vorce
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in 11 styles).
13. A contemporary sling chair you can add to your primary bedroom or even use in place of a couch if you have a teensy tiny living room.
Promising review: "Fabric is soft and very nice. Pillows have funky stuffing and definitely require a good fluffing, but this chair is certainly a comp for a higher-end one that costs well over $1,000. So it's still worth it in the end! They are very sturdy and took me almost an hour each to put together. I have a set of two." —Victoria
Get it from Amazon for $90.13+ (available individually or in a set of two and in seven colors)
14. A set of solid ash wishbone chairs that look a hell of a lot like way more expensive options — but for a fraction of the cost. Perhaps the best part is that they come fully assembled, so you don't have to spend even one second sweating or cursing as you get your dining area together.
Promising review: "Very pleased with these. I bought six of these chairs to go around my dining room table. They arrive completely assembled, so you just have to unpack the chair. They are real wood and already have felt on the bottom of each leg which is a nice touch. They look beautiful and are very sturdy and comfortable to sit in. Shipping was pretty fast. Each chair comes in its own box, so each shipped with their own tracking number, but all arrived together." —MotherOfCats
Get it from Amazon for $319.99+ for two (available in four colors)
15. A set of barstools with comfy saddle seats where you can park your butt when it's time for breakfast. Now, if only your oven popped out fresh blueberry muffins all on its own...
16. Some beautiful wall-mounted amber bottles because waking up at 6 a.m. to get ready for your office job sucks, but these at least make you feel like you're getting ready in a hotel.
You can see how one TikTok user styled hers in this TikTok video by Miriam Gin. PS: They come from MaisoNovo — a small biz!
Promising review: "We have a narrow bathtub/shower with little space. I love this product, it’s so easy to install. I used a level to keep them aligned. Wait 24 hours before you use them. Great price, great quality, I highly recommend." —Karen Kopecki
Get it from Amazon for $24.70+ (available in six different styles and quantities of one, two, or three).
17. A 100% jute rug made from super durable plant fibers, so if it's in an area that gets heavy foot traffic or just happens to be your pup's favorite place to lay about, no one will be the wiser.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this rug! I wanted a farmhouse look, so I ordered this rug for my dining area. I am pleased that it is softer than I imagined it would be. I thought it would be coarse and scratchy, but it's not! Love love love it! I got the 6-foot round rug, which will eventually sit under my new dining table. It has been down for two days now, and the rug has almost completely relaxed, too, which none of my other rugs have done so quickly." —Vicky Barboza
Get it from Amazon for $29.56+ (available in 52 sizes and 11 colors).
18. Some lush velvet blackout curtains if the only way you can get any shut-eye is What We Do in the Shadows–style pitch black quarters.
Please note that these are sold per panel and not in a set of two.
Get a closer look at these in this TikTok from @happilyinspired.
Promising review: "Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! I did a lot of homework on finding the perfect curtains for our new home. I needed a lot of them, something pretty, full, and good insulation. It could get very expensive. These were more than I could have wanted, and at such a great price...I ended up getting the longer ones because they cost less (I needed 12 panels). As a result of longer ones, they are fuller on the bottom, look so lovely, and I get all the compliments. My mom is a designer, and I grew up being particular about fabric and how things are made. These are well-constructed and have gorgeous lining, lots of detail put into these, thank you!!" —Mrs
Get a panel from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in 29 colors and 10 sizes).
19. A simple framed print you can hang over the commode or balance on a windowsill in order to create a prettier focal point in your bathroom.
Promising review: "I didn’t think I’d ever say my bathroom is a cozy space, but this canvas gets me many compliments from guests! It is SUPER affordable and incredible quality. It really does look like a painting in person. The wood framing is very realistic. Highly recommend" —Sarah Gawronski
Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in nine sizes and 36 designs).
20. A wood and rattan accent storage cabinet capable of hiding all your living room electronics and board game collection so they don't interfere with your carefully crafted aesthetic.
Promising review: “This cabinet is exactly what I needed for my entryway! It's the perfect size, plus the storage underneath is great, so I can hide my clutter. My husband and I built it together relatively quickly and with ease. It matches my decor and colors in my home and is neutral enough to look great anywhere. This will be a great piece to have in our home for many years.” —thelittleredcardinal
Get it from Amazon for $226.59.
21. A quilted chenille floor pillow if you love having company over, but space is at a minimum, so extra accent chairs are out of the question.
22. A bundle of faux pampas grass that totally nails the au natural, bohemian look you've been longing to achieve. Plus, you don't have to water them! Win win.
Promising reviews: "Loved this faux pampas, such good quality. The best thing is it doesn’t shed like real pampas. I highly recommend this product, it’s so on trend and makes for beautiful statement and decor." —jazG
"I love, love, love this pampas! I was skeptical when I first bought them because I figured nice-looking pampas for this price would be a complete sham. I was proven wrong because they look/feel amazing. Not one person comes over without saying something about these!" —Talhia R.
Get three large stems from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).
23. A set of mid-century modern dining room chairs I could honestly stare at for a good hour. The rattan! The velvet! The cantilevered design! ::swoon::
Edloe Finch is a Black-owned small furniture business based in Houston, Texas. The brand comes from husband-and-wife duo Darryl and Jessica Sharpton. The former NFL linebacker is also the man behind Albany Park.
Get a set of two from Edloe Finch for $313.
24. A baroque-inspired mirror — with a gorg gilded frame — if you've long dreamt of owning ***that*** Anthropologie mirror but don't want to take out a second mortgage on your home in order to do so. This baby starts at just $90!!!!!
Promising review: "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget. I was worried at first because there weren’t any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size, so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things I’ve gotten from Amazon. It’s beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics." —McKinlee Mayer
Get it from Amazon for $90.22+ (available in six sizes and five finishes).
25. A stark white duvet cover sure to make your space feels uber bright and clean even if there's a week's worth of laundry hiding on the side of your bed.
26. A faux olive tree that'll bring a little life to your space even if it isn't technically living...
27. A multi-globe floor lamp if you have an empty corner that could not only use a little bit of light, but some mid-century modern flair.
Promising review: "After seeing an orb lamp at West Elm, I went looking for one that wasn't $500. This lamp is definitely a shiny, brassy gold and not a satin, champagne-color gold, but I actually love the color! My new house has a much more vintage, Art Deco vibe than my last place, and I think it fits right in with that. The milky orbs are beautiful and make the light nice and warm. It is pretty bright, but that works for me. I have it in a corner of my office that I don’t look directly at very often, and think it will be the perfect alternative to overhead lights." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $87.99.
28. A lightweight, easy-to-install plastic ceiling medallion that will make you feel like you live in a French chateau and not a postage-stamp-sized apartment where your kitchen, living room, and bedroom are all one and the same.
The lightweight medallions can be cut, drilled, glued, or screwed to fit your space. Many reviewers note that they attached the medallion with double-sided tape before installing their light fixture which is what ultimately holds it in place.
Promising review: "This is amazing. It looks SO beautiful in my dining room. It's lightweight and easily held up by the light fixture we chose but could be stuck on with double-sided tape if you wanted. I love this. It adds so much character! I found others in big-name hardware stores for around $50+... this was a great price and super quick shipping! Better than I imagined... would order again for SURE!! It's perfection!!! We get so many compliments on it!" —Jade Frost
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 50 finishes).
29. A velvet ottoman with a tassel rope fringe you won't be able to resist running your fingers (or toes, tbh) through.
30. A beautiful bath mat that'll match all of your beloved Persian rugs. You may have had to painstakingly source the latter from vintage emporiums and Facebook Marketplace, but this baby will ship straight to your door in two days.
Promising review: "Super soft and cushy, the colors are great and it is super easy to clean. About once a week, I just throw it in the washer. I've had it for a couple of months now and it still holds up!" —Storm Pierre
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
31. A spacious accent chair with enough room for you to sit criss-cross applesauce, aka your comfiest form.
Albany Park is a small biz from husband-and-wife duo Darryl and Jessica Sharpton.
Promising review: "Decided on this chair after lots of research and measuring. We have a small 600-square-foot house and needed a couch/chair that could hold two people if needed but not be huge…This chair is so comfortable and you can sit in many different positions. I love to lay across it, curl up in it, lounge, read, study, play video games… It’s perfect." —Ashleigh H.
Get it from Albany Park for $749+ (originally $789; available in seven fabric colors and two leg colors).
32. A wall-mounted coat rack that doubles as an art piece when not in use because sometimes it's weirdly embarrassing to have practical pieces. A coat rack tree? No thank you.
Check out a TikTok of the coat rack in action.
Promising review: "I bought one and was so in love with it that I immediately ordered a second one. I love the design when not in use, and when in use, it is sturdy and versatile. I get a lot of compliments from visitors." —Femke
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in three colors).
33. And a chic scalloped divider so you can cordon off a corner of your bedroom to use as a dedicated WFH space or create a changing area (it's great at concealing your "clothes chair.")
The Inside is a small home furnishings brand that partners with heritage design brands like Scalamandré and Old World Weavers.
Promising reviews: "I’m obsessed with it. We have major home renovations going on — house expansion and my office is being painted, so this screen is my saving grace for WFH/virtual styling calls! Excellent quality. Love it!" —Shaye S.
Get it from The Inside for $411 (originally $549; available in 117 patterns).
