Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds, which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith

Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in 14 roll sizes and four colors).

Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support.

Promising reviews: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere

"I bought two of these in 2010, and in the last 10 years, I've used them in three different apartments. I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away by how awesome they look. Every time I put them up it's like 'WOW WOW WOW these are AMAAAZZINNGGG!!' If you love decorating with books, this is a must-buy!" —Jlands

Get a set of three from Amazon for $32.16+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

This set includes one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two standard pillowcases.

Promising review: "Great percale sheet set! Aside from the color vibrancy and fun print mixing, I like the crisp and cool percale fabric, but what's nice is that it still has a smooth finish. If you like a sheet with a little more structure and is cooler to the touch, I would recommend this." —Anthro Insider

Get it from Anthropologie for $148+ (available in six sizes and 15 prints).

P.S. This works as a humidifier, too! Simply pour water into the dome (rather than water and essential oils) to get that effect.

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.

Promising review: "I recently purchased [this] essential oil diffuser with a glass reservoir and wood base, and I couldn't be happier! The design is stunning and adds a touch of elegance to my home decor. The glass reservoir is not only beautiful but also easy to clean. The wood base gives it a natural and warm feel. It diffuses essential oils perfectly, filling my home with calming and refreshing scents. It's also super quiet. I highly recommend this diffuser to anyone looking for both style and functionality in their essential oil experience!" —V k

Get it from Amazon for $57.99 (available in two colors).

Be sure to grab some best-selling essential oils, too!

Promising review: "I have owned huge, real hides in the past and paid $500 to $700. I ordered this hoping it would be cute, but I worried a bit that it would look cheap. Well, it is Amazon, so I knew I could return it and made the leap. SOOOOOO HAPPY I did! It looks real, and the gold adds such whimsy! I sprayed with a water/stain repellent and laid the little beauty in my kitchen. Looks AWESOME! My home is mid-century modern with gorgeous high-end pieces and art. This lovely gem on my tile floor adds such warmth and joy. When the light comes through the windows and lights up the gold, I cannot help but smile! Amazing and fun! LOVE!!!!! Would ABSOLUTELY purchase over and over and over! Perfection!" —Frog Hop

Get it from Amazon for $38.23+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

Leily Cloud is a small business aaallll about mushroom decor. They hand-make mushroom shelves, hooks, vases, and more.

Promising review: "I purchased all three sizes, worth the wait. Absolutely obsessed with this purchase. It's my favorite thing. Not only because I know these are handmade and totally unique, but they were so easy to mount to my wall. They add such an interesting vibe to my room. Not to mention they are EXTREMELY high quality. They also really do wrap and package these to ensure 100% safe arrival." —Thomas

Get it from Leily Cloud on Etsy for $47+ (available in three sizes and as a set of three).

People also use this for storing those kinda-dirty-but-not-dirty-enough-to-wash-yet clothes you normally toss onto that chair (you know the one).

Promising reviews: "I was a little hesitant to spend this much on this product, but glad I did. Now, my tiny bedroom looks a little more polished because I have eliminated the not-quite-dirty-clothes pile-on-the-chair-or-floor, and instead have this stylish ladder where I can neatly hang my clothes...and it looks lovely. It literally took a little anxiety away." —Diane

Get it from Amazon for $66 (available in three colors).

I've had this chair for about a year now, and it's in the top 5 for everyone's favorite pieces of furniture in my house — me, my partner, and my cat (the boucle just calls to her). It looks just like the photos and is gorgeous in person. Plus, it has held up pretty well despite daily body flops and cat naps. The chair is also incredibly comfortable. It's sturdy but something you can still sink into. I'm 5'3 and can sit in it comfortably with my legs crossed (it's so great, lemme tell ya), and my partner, who's 6'3, says the chair is comfortable for him, too, and that the back isn't too low and is a good height. The super soft boucle material = perfect. It easily matches the other furniture and decor I have because of the neutral color. On top of aaall of that, it took no more than 5-10 minutes to put together!

Get it from Cozey for $295 (available in two wood base styles, three fabric types, and nine colors — that chenille sage is a stunner!).

Promising reviews: "I needed a pop of color on my bed, and this coral pillow did the trick. I love the round shape and softness, and it really is the perfect addition to my bedroom. I think it would look good on a couc,h too." —nancy miele

"Just what I was looking for! A cute, soft, small accent knot. It adds a pop of my favorite color to my neutral bed. I am pleased with the material and quality. I would definitely buy again!" —Jordan

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and 20 colors).

Psst, these are pillow covers. You can grab a set of pillow inserts for $14.99.

Promising review: "These are gorgeous, soft, and well made. I chose the orange and teal combination. Perfect! No loose strings at all, which is rare in itself when you order textiles. I want to get some more. Just luscious!... They are a different color on the other side, which adds more interesting contrast. I definitely recommend these. They can work in a casual or more formal setting. The colors are unique as well. I suggest getting inserts the same size if you want a soft pillow, and size up the insert if you want a firmer, puffier look." —A. Jerry

Get it from Amazon for $32.50 for a set of four standard 18x18 covers (also available in six other sizes and eight other color combos).

Promising review: "So beautiful... My expectations weren't very high, but I loved the design, so I took a chance. This cover is incredibly soft. Not just the decoration but also the solid part — both sides. It has a zipper enclosure all along one side [and] six ties inside. This looks so high quality over my down comforter... I'm not sure I'll ever find such a great cover for such a great price." —Jacqulyn Hicks

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in five sizes and in 16 colors).

Promising reviews: "Stunningly gorgeous!!! I am in love with this seat floor pillow; very detailed when put together. Soft and comfortable. Don’t think twice, worth the buy." —Anna

"I ordered two of these for my hall tree instead of doing one custom cushion. I’m so impressed with the craftsmanship of these and the quality of the fabric for this price point! Saved me a lot and shipped fast! Highly recommend!!" —Heather Maydian

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two shapes and eight colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE these neon ropes by Govee! They are so amazing! The quality can’t be beat! There are so many lighting options, the brightness is fantastic, and the customization is only limited by your imagination! These can be put in any design that you want with the included clips (but you may need to purchase more clips for some designs to ensure that they stay adhered properly and in good design!). The installation is very straightforward and pretty easy! These lights are so amazing! Connectivity is great using 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth. With the Govee Home app, you can use the many preloaded scenes or customize your own creations there as well!" —Jxbxjnke

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in 9.8- and 16.4 ft).

Promising review: "Very impressed. They feel risen like shallow real tiles; they shine and have a great overlap! True to color, thank [goodness]. Super easy to apply. Easy to cut if needed. The edges blend right into the wall. We did this in our rental, and the landlord freaked out… in a good way! She asked if we could do it for other units! Haha. We’ve had them up for a few months now; they are blasted with steam and heat from our dishwasher and electric tea pot every morning and are right up against the stove top; nothing has changed, no damage or lifting. Like I said, buy these for sure. They’re good!" —B Frost

Get five 11.43" x 9" sheets from Amazon for $37.98 (available in 10 colors).

Promising reviews: "This table is SO CUTE! Obviously, it looks great in the sun/direct light, but it still looks good at night. I was worried it'd look cheap, but it definitely gives off a classy vibe (with lots of fun character)! It's great quality and really sturdy, so I don't have to worry about the size or weight of what I put on it. Excellent side table for the price!" —KayJay

"I'm in love!! This is absolutely a compliment piece to my entire living room and is always a conversation starter! It came assembled and scratch-free." —Tiffanie

Get it from Amazon for $170.99.

Promising review: "After looking at other home stores, I decided to go with these from Amazon because they had the best price. These are sturdy and lightweight, and I love that they can be nested/stored together if needed. We are using them as end tables with blanket storage, and they work great! The top is more of a faux/plastic-like wood, which is great for drinks, etc., but it looks like real wood from a distance, so it doesn't bother me that it's not real wood. Easier to wipe and clean." —kwood

Get a set of two from Amazon for $92.40+ (available in five styles).

This felt letter board comes with 300 letters, a bag to put them in, and a hook for easy hanging.

Felt Like Sharing in a small, family-owned business started by husband and wife duo Ryan and Pam.

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things! The board is super cute and perfect in my kitchen. I was surprised and thrilled with how many letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc. came with the board. I thought for sure I would need to order more, but that is simply not the case; Felt Like Sharing was more than generous with them! The board itself is sturdy and well-made, and the ribbing is tight enough that you don't have to worry about letters falling off. Felt Like Sharing is a super responsive and pleasant company to work with, and I have a feeling that I will be ordering many more boards from them in the future!" —Lisa K

Get it from Amazon for $20.95+ (available in 27 colors and five sizes).

Promising reviews: "This quilt is my favorite purchase in recent memory. I have always had the basic white bedding, but I pine for a touch of romance and moodiness for my bedroom, and this is it. I thought I was just giving it a try on sale, and oh my, jackpot. It is exactly what my bedroom has been missing. I am excited to make my bed every morning! No wrestling with a duvet, and machine washable, dream come true! Highly recommend!" —SaltyKat

"Excellent quality. Beautiful, rich color. I get hot at night, so this is a perfect weight. I can also wash it at home, which is ideal for someone who has a dog." —Emipods

"If you are looking for the perfect bed blanket, look no further. This velvet is so soft and looks super luxe. The weight of this quilt is just enough to use alone or use with another layer in cold seasons. I love all the colors, but the slate is my personal favorite and is easy to style with most decor." —SherriW

Get it from Anthropologie for $228+ (available in five sizes and four colors).

Grab the matching pillows shams, too!

Promising review: "I got these after seeing something similar on the Anthropologie site for almost four times the price. These are super cute and better quality than I expected for such a low price." —runningdiva89

I have two of these chairs in the olive green velvet style, and I absolutely love them! On top of looking great, they're very soft, cushiony, and comfortable. I've spent many WFH days sitting in these chairs at my dining table and I've got no complaints! Easy to put together? Check ✅. Classicly stunning cane back? Check ✅. Velvet!? Check ✅!

Promising reviews: "I was planning to get chairs that had rattan on the back and the seat. However, the prices of those chairs were way outside of my comfort zone, so I ended up finding these, and I AM SO HAPPY I DID! Not only are they amazingly affordable, but they are also beautifully made and extremely comfortable! Also, I have rattan and boucle in other pieces in my place, and these chairs match them perfectly!" —Emmanuel Pineda

Here's why BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves these:

"I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home. (Though I have several purse packs?!) It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago. But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting.

Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look...kind of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose."

Get it from Amazon for $8.

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 $86.99+ (available in 10 sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "My daughter put this table together by herself within 45 minutes. I love the fact that it’s made of real wood and very sturdy. The fact that it lifts up so that you can have a table to work from is amazing. I would definitely recommend this. It works well with a large sectional." —Marta

Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this item — see for yourself. *Clenches heart* I even took it upon myself to paint the nails to match the mala beads I put inside. Do not hesitate on this purchase!" —Mari

Get it from Amazon for $17.90.

Promising review: "I love this so much. The detail is excellent, and it just looks stunning sitting on my counter. Looks like I just got home from the farmers market with a bag of fresh flowers!" —Angela Hartfiel

Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed, and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —Amazon customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Bought these because my old coasters left puddles of water from the condensation on drinks. These really work and absorb everything! Very pleased.

Promising review: "I bought these napkin holders because I was looking for something more fresh and modern than the regular napkin rings, and I’m glad I did...The item arrived nicely packaged, with the green stems and some napkins to start off with. Napkin size is the average dinner napkin you get in the store, not the cocktail size. It comes with easy instructions for all kinds of folds that create different flower designs, which my daughter enjoyed making. The product itself is sturdy and holds the napkin well. Overall very happy with the product. It adds a cool twist to our dinner table." —Zuri Guterman
