Promising review:"So cute, so easy to install! Literally like four hooks and tie-backs, and you're done. Jazz it up with some twinkle lights (not included), and you are golden. I swear, laying in bed at night, I feel like a princess. Especially because I always wanted one of these as a little girl. 😇" — Krystle
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors and a square or dome shape).
2. Plus, a stunning velvet tufted headboard that looks like it belongs in a bougie Parisian hotel. Pair it with a chic matching bench at the foot of your bed, and suddenly, sipping your morning latte becomes an elegant affair. (If you squint hard enough, you can *almost* see the Eiffel Tower outside your window.)
www.amazon.com, Amazon
This is def a more expensive upgrade but worth considering if you feel like your bed setup needs a little extra oomph.
Promising review:"You know how you hate buying something online because you're not sure if it's going to be crap? Well let me tell you, this is one of the best purchases I've made. It's excellent quality. The foam is nice and plush and you can't feel the board. If you ever need to move, the whole thing folds in half and the legs and all the part fit in a zipper compartment in the back for easy transport. Would be perfect for some one who stages homes because of how portable it is but the quality is A+." — T. Sayer
Get it from Amazon for $167.25+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
3. A pair of plush velvet pillow covers just perfect for adding a pop of deep emerald green, royal blue, or a sumptuous burgundy. These covers also sport large ruffled edges for some dramatic flair that says, "Yes, I live in a Pinterest board, and yes, it's fabulous."
These are just pillow covers, so grab some pillow inserts, if you need 'em!
Promising review:"Far exceeded my expectations – the feel and rich depth of the cover makes me want to get them in every color! They're stretchy and could fit 18x18–20x20 pillows. Mine are 20x20. They're buttery soft. If they've been sitting in your cart, get them while you can!" — Amazon Customer
Get a set of two covers from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
4. A wireless crystal table lamp that'll glimmer like a precious treasure on your desk or nightstand, throwing mesmerizing light patterns around your space. With a gentle tap on the base, you can switch between white, warm, or natural light — and to adjust the brightness, it's as simple as holding down the button. Since it's battery-powered, you can move it around freely to brighten up a dark area without outlets (or during power outages)!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
*Highly* recommend checking it out in this TikTok!
Promising review: "The light looks so magical. My favorite part is that you can place it anywhere without having to plug it in. Comes with a USB charger to recharge the battery. Also dimmable. Perfect night light for reading." — Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two styles).
5. A beautifully crafted Baroque mirror people will think you found at a vintage auction.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It's heavy and not cheap looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it's done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don't hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" — Celeste C
Get it from Amazon for $82.99+ (available in 10 sizes and five colors).
6. Or a full-length irregular mirror here to blend functionality with a statement-making design. It's framed in plush fabric that elevates any room to a whole new level of chic. If you aren't afraid to express your unique style, bag this bad boy uh-me-di-ate-ly. 👏👏
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" This is exquisitely made. It's heavy-duty, and the mirror quality is premium. Feels high-end. Highly recommend. Pictures do not do it justice." — Jessa
Get it from Amazon for $114.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
7. A ceiling medallion if you've ever walked into a room and felt like it was just missing something. This beautiful, ornamental centerpiece is made to frame your chandelier (or any lighting fixture) like a crown jewel. Imagine the grandeur of a Victorian home, even if your apartment was built in the early 2000s and lacks any discernible architectural charm. Trust me, this is your ticket to Bridgerton -level opulence!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is available in a large collection of colors, but several reviewers mention that it's easy to paint if you'd like the color to be just so.
Promising review:"These medallions were much prettier than I expected and were super smooth for reception of paint. It took me a few days to decide on the color placement and style, as they will be in rooms that are visible to one another. Pre-colored medallions are expensive; doing it myself saved me money I used to upgrade my chandeliers." — Cris
Get it from Amazon for $62.05+ (available in various colors).
8. Battery-powered picture lights (no wiring needed!) to elegantly draw attention to wall decor, creating the feeling of an intimate art gallery in your home. Now you can stand back, glass of wine in hand, to gaze at the picture of a cat driving a fire truck that your 5-year-old drew for you, all lit up to really reflect the emotions of the artist.
You'll need three AA batteries!
Promising review: "We have a 160-year-old home with 12-foot plaster ceilings! These lights were great because we didn't have to tear up walls to run wiring and also because they are powerful enough to illuminate the whole length of the wall. Very aesthetic! Highly recommend!" — Ameila Von
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and a rechargeable version).
9. A bunch of faux tulips I'm sure will have people wondering how you have the time (and money) to *always* have a vase of fresh flowers. These artificial flowers are made out of a silky material that mimics the look and feel of real flower petals. The best part: They never need water and will stay "alive" and beautiful forever.
Amazon
Promising review:"They look so real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and are shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" — Abbey S.
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in many colors).

Amazon

It'll keep everything perfectly balanced and safe from any accidental spills, and the soft silicone top is both waterproof and easy to wipe clean!
It also has nonslip pads on the bottom for added stability.
Promising review:"I'm so happy with this purchase. I used to keep my drinks next to me on just a tray, but then if I moved or something, it would lose balance. This thing keeps everything in place. Not only that, but it also looks nice and matches my furniture! I'm glad I went with this one instead of the other listings. This is made of wood boards, and the top is silicone, which makes it easy to clean any spills or cup condensation. Get this!!!" — Daniela
Get it from Amazon for $28.46+ (available in five colors).

Get it from Amazon for $37.49+ (available in eight colors and another style).
15. A faux olive tree just begging to be added to that lonely corner in your room. This is a perf alternative if you want to add a little greenery to your space without having to deal with a real tree that needs to be watered. It's so convincing that you might find yourself reaching out to pluck those olives off the branches, only to realize they're not quite the snack you were expecting.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I am glad I bought this olive tree and not the one from Pottery Barn that was double the price. It looks great in my den. You will need another pot though. I used a bigger one and added rocks around it. The moss is real and removable, which was a nice surprise. The olives look real and the leaves can be fluffed out and turned depending on how full you want it to look." — Love Reading
Get it from Amazon for $89.85+ (available in four heights).
16. A popular checkerboard throw blanket giving Barefoot Dreams cozy vibes but at a fraction of the price. Not only does this chic throw add the perfect pop of personality to any room, but it's also soooo soft that one reviewer compares it to the feel of fuzzy socks (that you can wrap your entire body in).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5'10" tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven't experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket." — JH
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors and three sizes).
17. A set of multifunctional velvet ottomans that function as plush extra seating, but flip the lid and you'll reveal a stunning wood tabletop — perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a mid-day snack.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: " Love this light fixture! I have it in my kitchen. Really adds to the boho vibe. If you have a handyman around I'm sure they could install it. My husband did it in about an hour or so. Beware: It is rather large and in charge, but beautiful! May not suit a small area. In addition, the light bulbs it comes with are not dimmable so you may want to purchase three of those if you need it to dim. Very happy with the purchase overall!" — Sierra
Get it from Amazon for $110.88+ (available in three colors).
21. A luxuriously soft duvet set, complete with a 100% jersey knit cotton cover and two matching shams, that will revamp your bedroom and make you want to lounge in bed for ages. (Seriously, who could resist?)
Amazon
Be sure to snag an insert for this duvet cover if needed!
Promising review:"It works awesome, the corner ties save me from having to adjust it every morning. It's soft and cozy. I tried this duvet cover with a single duvet insert and with two duvet inserts (if you want your bed to feel like a hotel bed, that is the move), and either way very cozy." — Rhiannon M.

Amazon
Promising review:"I bought this tray to use in my tea bar area next to my Keurig. The fact that it is round really compliments the curve of the front of my Keurig and fits very well in a squared off corner space. Just an FYI that the inside dimension excluding the 'lip' is roughly 10.5" in diameter. So, keep this in mind as you are trying to stage it. it looks great when set up with other rounded-edge decor...especially something made of clear glass and acacia to match." — TheRealGirlGenius

24. Or an antique decorative mirror tray offering an elegant way to show off your favorite perfumes, makeup, or jewelry.

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 to steam them to get the wrinkles out. I can't wait to get another color! You'll be happy with your purchase." — Alex

Brightech is a California-based small business specializing in contemporary lighting.
Promising review: "I am very happy with this lamp. I was a little worried about the quality because of the low price but I really had nothing to worry about. It is an excellent-quality lamp. The base is very heavy so it wont easily tip over, which is a problem with another similar-style lamp I have in my living room. You can adjust the light to just about any direction, which is also a nice feature. I purchased this to light my desk area. It turns off and on via a touch sensor and also dims to different levels. The light itself is very bright and I can see this being an ideal lamp for crafting while sitting in a rocking chair or on the sofa." — Happy in the OC
