Promising review: "We added this to a smaller downstairs bathroom in our Airbnb, and it made the space feel way more fun than a rectangular mirror. The template was decent, you just had to know how you wanted your mirror to hang prior to throwing the template on the wall. The good thing is that because it's asymmetrical, the imperfect hanging adds to the funkiness of it." — Chris Scherr

5. An LED floor lamp, which will definitely be a conversation starter because of how futuristic it looks. Plus, it's dimmable, so you can switch from a bright influencer ring light to a soft glow when it's time to unwind.
Promising review: "The light is nice! It's a unique-looking light. I love how it has three different settings so you can adjust the brightness. It fits perfectly with my reading chaise and goes well with the rest of my living room decor. The only con I have is I wish the cord was clear instead of black, it sticks out. Other than that, I love the light. I'd definitely recommend it to others." — Carmelita Joy

Promising review: "I absolutely love this rug! I wanted a farmhouse look and 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 course and itchy, but it's not! Love love love it! I got the 6-foot round rug which will eventually sit under my new dining table.

Promising review:"Rug is stunning!! Our kitchen has accent colors of cobalt blue, and it's perfect (we got the blue medallion) and really ties everything together. Great wide runner, true to size.

I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed as shown in the display photos and am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the gray/white color scheme I was going for and have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they've visited.

Chelsea Stuart on our BuzzFeed Shopping team says:"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!"

Promising review: "Immediately, out of the box, it makes any room more aesthetically pleasing. It's such a simple but beautiful light to make your room feel cozy. The warm color also adds calm and serenity to your space. I am so satisfied with it, I will be buying another. My space has weird geometric angles and this light makes them feel even cooler." — -jordan_
Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in three styles).
20. Or, a mushroom table lamp to really lean into your mid-century modern aesthetic. It'll make your home look so snazzy and definitely puts the FUN in funky home decor if that's your style.
Lotus Atelier is a small business that sells lighting for the home.
Promising review: "I was so excited to turn this lamp on that I placed it on my couch instead of making room on my shelves. The lightweight lamp is funky, and the fun pop of orange adds character to my living room. It's always a cozy night in with this lamp. A great find to start your lamp collection or add to your existing one." — dana

My daughters and I had fun decorating the wax with the toy bees. I lit them for the first time because the lights went out and I was scared at first because I didn't think they would go out, they 100% go out and I was so relieved I lit some more and went to bed. I am just so glad I got these." — Melissa Gray

24. Or perhaps a dimmable candle warmer, which adds a vintage-inspired look to your desk or nightstand. It comes with not one but two halogen light bulbs, so you don't have to go out and find the right light bulb for this awesome decorative piece. As Kacey Musgraves once said, I'm alright with a slow burrrrnnnnn.

Promising review:"I was looking for bookshelves, and I'm so happy we came across this. It held all my books and still has room for more, about 45 books total right now, and still has room. Very sturdy and stylish. The dark brown color makes it more elegant. Definitely worth the value. Very easy to assemble." — Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in seven colors).
27. A pair of wood and marble bookends that will keep your books upright and your bookshelf looking right. Reviewers loved the mixed material and say they have a really good weight to them!

Get the pair from Amazon for $21.98.
28. A super cool ribbed pillar candle — they aren't regular candles; they're ~cool~ candles that will look fantastic on a shelf or a side table. These are so pretty that you might hesitate to even light them. Either way, you'll love these!
