1. Satin nickel switch plates so you can replace that plain ol' white one and add a fancy-schmancy touch to your wall, because every detail counts.
Promising review: "Feels quality, not flimsy. Installed in a bathroom and adds a nice classy vintage touch to my switch. The metal is not highly reflective, closer to a brushed look. Great for disguising fingerprints and blends in with other non-reflective metal hardware. When the light switch is frequently the first thing someone looks at and reaches for in a room, having a quality cover like this gets noticed and enhances a room very easily. I can't believe I'm still writing about how much I enjoy a light switch cover." —Tom Generic Dude
Get it from Amazon for $6.89 (also available in a switch plate cover design and a combo design).
2. Or an adorable retro wall plate that'll give your home a nostalgic '90s cartoon vibe and make your heart oh-so happy whenever you look at it.
Atomic Surplus is a small business based in Idaho that handmakes atomic-age accessories.
Promising review: "These plates are fantastic, and Sam is great to work with. I placed a large order and changed out every plate in the house. They look fantastic, and I'm so happy I stumbled upon Atomic Surplus. What a terrific find." —Meg Morton
Get it from Atomic Surplus on Etsy for $30+ (available in 18 styles and nine colors).
3. A pack of LED battery-operated puck lights — stick 'em under your kitchen cabinets, in your closets, or anywhere else that could use some gentle ~illumination~. Now when you go for some late-night snacking, you won't be blinded by harsh overhead lighting.
The lights come with a remote that includes a dimmer, an auto-off timer, and an easy on/off switch for your convenience. You can also just simply tap on the lights to turn them off. Because they run on batteries, you won't have to go through the trouble of hiring an electrician, and they run for 100 hours before you have to replace the batteries.
Promising review: "Exactly what I needed! It’s super easy to install. Took me less than five minutes! I didn’t want to wire anything or have wires showing so this was it! They are so convenient and looks great! The remote makes it even better. It’s soooo easy to control them. I absolutely love it! I will be ordering more for my home office cubbies! Hope they last!!!" —SM
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in other packs).
4. Or these stick-on track lights if you want a brighter, more uniform lighting option. It comes with an adhesive backing so all you gotta do is stick 'em on, plug them in, and enjoy!
It includes a remote that can adjust the brightness.
Promising review: "This is a wonderful product; just what I wanted. It's super easy to install, and I love that it breaks off into sections so you don’t have any hanging over to hide. The remote is awesome, and there are lots of brightness settings. I’m going to use these everywhere!" —Queen Halloween
Get the six-piece kit from Amazon for $16.79+ (available in three light colors).
5. A roll of faux-marble contact paper in case years of doing makeup and work at your desk have left scratches and stains that you can't bear to look at anymore. This adhesive film will make it look like you went out and bought new furniture — don't worry, it'll be our secret!
Promising review: "So Pinteresting! I used this adhesive film to turn two cheap Ikea tables into less-cheap-looking Ikea tables because I'm not made of money but I would like others to believe I am. Super simple to use and a ton of it for the price I was really pleased overall. The pattern actually looks like marble, not a weird pixely repetitive pattern, so that's great as well." —Spencer House
Get a 17"x78" roll from Amazon for $17.10 (also available in six other styles).
6. A wood polish and conditioner to get your wooden furniture and floors back to mint condition. One reviewer said it's basically "a magical eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish" because yup, it's that effective.
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs who jumped up and scratched places. We also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were. Several other areas were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magical eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand-new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
7. Velvet slipcovers that'll turn your couch from drab to ~faaab~ — you'll feel like royalty anytime you plop down to take a nap. Bonus: It'll also hide all those tears and stains that make you go "yeesh 😬" every time you lay eyes on them. And! If you happen to spill something or your doggo has an accident on the cover, you can just toss it into the washing machine!
There are separate cushions for the covers and straps, so the cover stays in place even after lots of usage.
Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).
8. Some peel-and-stick subway tile backsplash — no need to take a sledgehammer to your very expensive home for this jaw-dropping makeover.
Promising review: "This peel-and-stick tile backsplash has completely changed the look of our kitchen. It was relatively easy to install and it was our first time using any peel-and-stick product. One thing we did learn is once it's on the wall...it's not coming off easily. I would highly recommend using the glass cleaner method — this will allow more time to fix your placement if you don't have it just right. Overall, this product is totally worth the price and little time it takes to apply. PS: It's a great quarantine project if you're looking for one! :)" —Nikki Moody
Get a 10-pack of 12"x12" panels from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in eight colors).
9. Or some peel-and-stick tile that'll add character to your bathroom or kitchen, because the walls have been looking a little too plain.
Promising review: "This brought new life to my super boring kitchen! This was much easier than I thought and was really worried about taking on this project but I'm glad I did. Took me over three hours from start to finish." —Blood Agent

10. A bottle of Star Brite Mold and Mildew Stain Remover — it must have been infused with some magical properties, because it's unbelievable how well it'll clean all your outdoor furniture that's been crusting outside for who knows how long.
Promising review: "I don't often write a review of a product. But this was so impressive, I thought I should let others know. We have a set of vinyl outdoor chairs that were constantly covered with mildew. When we were feeling ambitious, we'd take the time to power wash the chairs, which worked pretty well but was a lot of work. The problem was that a couple of days later, the mildew was back almost as bad a before. With this mildew stain remover, we sprayed the chairs, let them sit a few minutes, and hosed off with a regular garden hose. Easy. And they were cleaner than they ever got using the power washer. When we put the chairs away two months later, they were still clean." —Christine A. Simonson
Get it from Amazon for $10.48+ (available in three sizes).
11. A beautiful octagonal mirror that may make the question, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the prettiest of them all?" a little tricky to answer, because it's as beautiful as you!
It comes with two side hooks attached to the back, but you'll need to provide your own nails or anchors.
Promising review: "This mirror is elegant. I love the shape and color, it’s exactly what I needed in my bathroom. I bought two of them. I am very happy and satisfied with this purchase." —Shay
Get it from Amazon for $80.99+ (available in three sizes and three frame colors).
12. A waterfall faucet because let's be so honest, these make you feel way bougier than all the other ones.
13. A set of mid-century furniture leg replacements that'll make your dressers, couch, and bookshelves look way more luxe instead of splurging on new pieces. They're super sturdy and screw on easily!
Promising review: "These legs were the perfect addition to our newly reupholstered 55-year-old mid-century modern couches. Sturdy and beautifully finished in a gold/brass color, with nice mounting plates. After replacing the half-century-old wooden spindle legs, the couches no longer wiggle when you sit down and are ready for another 55 years." —P L Priestley
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors and four sizes).
14. A recessed light conversion kit so you can finally use those pretty light fixtures or pendants you've had saved! It requires minimal time and effort, and the transformation will be major.
Promising review: "I love this thing. It took me about 15 minutes to install this. Note: Don't try to directly drill the screws through the can. You will likely need to predrill holes in the can for the screws. I converted a recessed light into a three-light unit that hangs above my kitchen island. The unit weighs 20 pounds, and the conversion kit handles it easily. This saves so much money instead of having to convert the recessed light to a traditional electrical box. Very simple, yet wonderful product." —Pete I.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
15. A floating wooden shelf because your finest plates and cups deserve to be shown off instead of hidden inside your cabinets. Plus, this will create more storage space so there's room to put your unsightly appliances behind closed doors.
Iirntree is a small business that sells beautiful wooden furniture from shelves, to benches, to garden decor, to wall art decor.
Promising review: "Beautiful shelf at a great price and it was securely packaged for shipping. It even came earlier than I had anticipated!" —Kandi
Get it from Iirntree on Etsy for $27.97+ (available in various sizes and wood stain finishes).
16. A good old-fashioned water pressure cleaner — if you've ever been on #CleanTok, there's a good chance you've seen one of these videos and have always wanted to try it out for yourself. It'll leave your outdoor surfaces lookin' brand new, and it's just so darn satisfying to use!
Promising review: "I love you, little electric pressure washer! Oh let me count the ways...I honestly can't say enough good things about this little guy. Our deck was in serious need of a wash. I really liked the idea of a small electric pressure washer mainly for the ease of maneuverability but was unsure if it really had the power to get the job done. Oh man, let me tell you this thing is fantastic! Once I got started I couldn't stop. I was washing everything in sight. Deck, fire pit, stepping stones, planters, outside rug...I was unstoppable! I was a filthy mess from the thighs down because of all the muck flying everywhere but I didn't care, I was happy." —Larry Crouch
Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three colors).
17. Chalk paint to revamp all your old, beloved pieces of furniture that have been completely worn down. It's much better to use for furniture than typical paint because it sticks so well without having to prime or sand it down.
Promising review: "I just moved and have been refinishing a lot of furniture to match my new design. This paint has been amazing. It only requires a little elbow grease (just washing furniture clean and a light sanding), and it's ready to paint and finish! So much easier than before, which required endless sanding and preparation. I did a large dresser with just half a can of this paint and it turned out great. Highly recommend." —Christina M
Get it from Amazon for $22.32+ (available in 15 colors).
18. Interlocking Teak tiles if your floors (indoor or outdoor) have eroded or are just worn out. They're super easy to install — just snap 'em all together. Your patio (or shower floor, or anywhere else you place them) is going to look absolutely gorgeous, and you barely did any work!
Promising review: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt-proof, etc. In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adazzle
Get 10 square feet from Amazon for $81.33.
19. A set of brush attachments that you can pop onto a drill. A DRILL —what?! Just attach it to the head and let the tool do all the work for you.
The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Drill Brush is a small business based in New York that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.
Promising review: "These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." —Tom S4TX
Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six different brush stiffnesses).
20. Peel-and-stick floor tiles so you can hide that scratched-up flooring that's been there for way too long. These are perfect if you're a renter because you can just stick them on, and *BAM* — you've got fancy tiles.
Promising review: "For under $100 I redid my entire bathroom! We moved into our home two years ago, and our small main-floor bathroom had hideous orange mosaic tiles. We want to eventually gut and rehab our bathroom but wanted to give it a cheap facelift. Floorpops made that possible and a very inexpensive option! We used caulk to seal some of the tiny gaps and caulked around the tub and underneath the baseboards for a good seal. The tiles are not moving at all and have adhered okay." —Agnieska
Get it from Amazon for $14.50+ (available in two colors).
21. A cabinet painting kit that'll make your kitchen look brand spanking new and have people wondering if you got a visit from the Property Brothers because of how beautiful your cabinets look.
The kit includes two 31-ounce cans of Nuvo cabinet paint, one roller arm, two roller covers, and a 2-inch angled paint brush. Each covers 100 square feet of cabinet surface.
Promising review: "This product was super easy to use. We went with the tips in the reviews and bought nicer foam rollers specifically for cabinets and I’m so happy I did, it made it so we barely had to use a brush because of how the foam rolls over the side. We also took the doors and handles off, which I recommend also. It definitely wouldn’t have turned out as nice if we left them on.
"This took four coats and five in the larger areas (i.e. next to the fridge, etc). Our kitchen took two kits, but well worth it and still way cheaper than the quotes that we got from professionals. It totally changes the feel of the kitchen and it looks SO MUCH BRIGHTER! I would say give yourself a few days to knock this out as it took us several nights to finish. But would highly recommend." —TJ Sarnese
Get it from Amazon for $69.95 (available in nine colors).
22. Magnetic garage handles and faux windows if you can't stand to look at your barren garage door anymore. These are way, waaay cheaper than replacing the entire thing, and it'll give your garage that classic carriage house look. When people drive by your home, they'll be thinking to themselves, "Wow...that looks *so* nice."
23. Some peel-and-stick wallpaper for all the astrology babes out there. If you can't get a sky full of stars, you may as well have a wall full of 'em. It'll make redecorating your room easy peasy lemon squeezy rather than repainting your entire wall.
Check out our comprehensive guide to buying wallpaper online.
Promising review: "Love, love, love this wallpaper!!! It is beautiful and unique, refined and elegant, and heavy-duty quality. I found it super easy to install, though I opted to use it for a room border versus full wall coverage. I also found it very forgiving, allowing me to pull it back off and adjust areas without leaving permanent dents in the design. It gave my son’s bedroom a whole new look and I have gotten lots of compliments on this wallpaper!" —MB
Get it from Amazon for $27.49+ (available in three colors).
24. Removable botanical wallpaper so you can feel like you're taking a dumpy in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. The tropical leaves are so fun and fresh — it'll instantly up the tropical vibes in your house!
One roll measures 20.5 inches x 18 feet and covers about 30.75 square feet.
Promising review: "This wallpaper is not sticky, it is tacky. That’s what allows it to be removed without damaging the wall. I was able to reposition it once or twice on a freshly painted eggshell finish wall. I think people who are having issues with it falling down are either putting it on flat paint or a dirty wall. Make sure to wash off your wall before trying to put this up otherwise it will just stick to the dust then fall off. I found the pattern easy to line up, it repeats perfectly. The background of the print almost makes it look like it is made from linen." —C. Schaffer
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
25. A stone-effect spray paint that could not be easier to apply. All you have to do is spray it onto any surface, and bada-bing, bada-boom — your ugly rental bathroom just got a makeover!
Promising review: "We recently purchased a new home, and we're not gutting our main bathroom until next summer, but I just couldn't live with that 1980s green another day. So after reading a lot of tutorials, I decided to go for it and paint the counter. I LOVE how it came out! Once it was dry for 24 hours, I applied several coats of poly and let it sit for 72 hours before I let the counter go back into normal use. It's held up like a dream." —Mistella

Get it from Amazon for $10.53+ (available in six colors).
26. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray because all that sludge buildup isn't easy on the eyes. This formula is SO powerful, one reviewer even says that it works even better than a power washer — say what!?
RMR Brands is a small business that launched in 2013 creating powerful cleaning solutions for your toughest messes.
Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner
Get a 32-oz bottle on Amazon for $16.99 (available in multiple quantities).
27. Some hanging glass lights here to elevate your lighting game, especially if you pair them with some Edison bulbs for a vintage vibe.
The cord measures 10 inches so you have the freedom to adjust the height as desired.
Promising review: "I received lots of compliments and when I tell them I got them on Amazon, they're surprised! They're especially shocked when I tell them how much I paid. You definitely can't beat the price! It's a simple design with a 'WOW!' statement. I definitely recommend these pendants!" —KMags
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors; bulb *not* included), and a four-pack of Edison bulbs for $17.99.
28. Some front door paint so you can give your door a refresh, because change is always good right? You can choose a brighter color to give your house some *zhuzh* or a neutral color for a more natural feel.
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. The product is a very thick consistency that doesn't cause it to drip, run, splatter, or ruin your paint brushes. And there is very little prep work and cleanup." —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $32.97+ (available in 15 colors).
29. An oven scrub cleaner to get rid of all that scum caked on the glass pane so you can finally see through it and keep checking on your double fudge brownie.
This oven scrub is made out of 100% plant- and mineral-derived ingredients. To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths.
Promising review: "This is the first time in my 50+ years that I have actually enjoyed cleaning my oven. And no, I am not joking! This product is effective, easy to work with, smells amazing, AND I only used a tiny amount of product!!! I don't think I could imagine a way to improve this product. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Well worth any wait." —Diane Coury
Get it from Everneat on Etsy or Amazon for $19.99 (available in three scents).
30. Some brick whitewash paint if the previous owners of your home didn't quite have the eye for pretty color schemes. It'll give your living space a more modern feel without having to replace your entire fireplace!
Promising review: "This is amazing!!!!! It looks like a different fireplace. I have been looking at a horrible grout repair that the previous owners did for 20 years. I did this in about two hours!!!!!! This product is fast, it's easy to use, easy to clean up, and inexpensive." —Denise
Get a pint from Amazon for $29.95.
31. A stencil because mandala tapestries are absolutely iconic and gorgeous, but you might want a more permanent design on your wall. If you find yourself zoning out while WFH, at least now you can gaze at a beautiful pattern while doing so!
Cutting Edge Stencils is a small business based in New Jersey that creates handmade stencils for walls, tiles, and furniture. Check out their Etsy shop to find a stencil that's perfect for your decor!
Get it from Cutting Edge Stencils on Etsy for $15+ (available in nine sizes).
32. Some pre-made wall panels reviewers love for how *easy* they are to apply. They'll add depth and elegance to your home, not to mention hide that ugly paint job the owners before you somehow thought was a good idea. All you need is a nail gun and glue (a couple of reviewers even used Command strips) for that fancy molding look you've been dreaming of.
Reviewers attached these in different ways, with some just using mounting tape in apartments for no damage to walls. Others installed them on doors and kitchen islands!
Promising review: "Moldings came in well-packed and quickly. It was super easy to install. Used White Lightning Speed Grip to adhere the panels. These panels gave a high-end look to an otherwise drab wall and peninsula. So classic and affordable and it will never go out of style!" —JM
Get a single panel from Amazon for $10.15+ (available in sets and 17 sizes).
33. Rubbermaid's power scrubbing brush with an oscillating head that'll clean twice as fast as using a manual scrubber. This small but mighty brush is perfect for cleaning up grout lines and tight spaces — your tiles are about to be so shiny, you might even see your reflection.
Promising review: "Last night I was reborn. What is the cause of this renewed zest for life, you might ask? It was the use of the Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber on my shower grout. It elevated a simple baking soda-and-water solution to alchemical proportions. My pink-tiled shower, the one that came with my scummy apartment, the one that never looks clean no matter how many hours of backbreaking labor I put in, now looks bright, clean, and full of promise. An otherwise disgusting and dated purely utilitarian part of my home is now art. TL;DR: This is absolutely incredible." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

34. A wireless library light to draw attention to your beautiful wall-hanging decor and portraits that may have been overlooked. It'll turn your home into an art gallery and have your guests oohing and ahhing at your ~curated~ collection.
You can adjust it to warm or cool light settings depending on your preference. 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
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors, two sizes, and either battery or rechargeable options).
35. A stick of Erase-A-Hole putty for when you impulsively drill holes to hang up decor, shelves, and artwork. If, for some reason, you decide to take those down (and don't want your landlord to see the evidence), this baby will come to your rescue.
Promising review: "Recommended off TikTok and I love. I didn’t realize how many holes were in the walls until I got this product! Easy to use and good filling. Much better than a tub of spackle for small fixes." —Leigh Helsel
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
