23. A retro lamp that’ll shine a light on your vivid, crayon-inspired color scheme brilliantly. 

See it on TikTok! It comes with four bulbs, so you can plug it in and enjoy its cozy glow right away. 

Promising review: “Yes, it’s plastic. And yes, it’s a reproduction, but it looks so much better in person, especially when it’s turned on. It gives off the perfect soft lighting. Mid-century modern look without the hefty price tag. It is expensive for plastic, but if you wanted to purchase a similar style lamp from that period, it would be much more $$$, and it comes with bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so I plugged mine into a plug with a battery-operated remote so I wouldn’t have to get behind my table to turn it on every time. Happy with purchase.” —jacqueline l. gibson

Get it from Amazon for $64.95 (available in five colors).

Promising review: “Never have I been a person who saw a light fixture and been excited about the look, performance, etc, but I LOVE the tulip amber fixtures. It just brought everything in my living room together beautifully. I saw the reviews about it being heavy. It is glass, so it is front-heavy, but if you mount it with the piece that they gave you, it’ll hold up just fine. Worth the purchase 1,000% for me.” —Hillary

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in three styles, seven colors, and as singles or packs of two).

27. An ultra soft faux fur rug sure to feel luxurious every time you get out of bed and have this fancy fuzz between your toes instead of the cold wood floors beneath your feet.Amazon

Promising review: “My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside too.” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “I absolutely love the look of these storage containers (pictured above, right)! They are so unique and modern. The quality is great, the glass is pretty thick, and they seem very durable. The reason I’m docking one star is because some containers don’t quite seal air tight correctly like the rest. Not sure if it’s the glass container or the cork but I did come across that one issue with some of the jars. Overall though, I would recommend these containers.” —Mig and Les

Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.49+ (available in four sizes). 

29. A floor lamp (with a dimmer!) so you can adjust your lighting in a way that matches your many different moods. You have RANGE. 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

Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four colors).

30. A stained glass lighthouse night-light that’ll be a quirky addition in your home if you don’t just want to be the main character, you want to be the Maine character. Stephen King…anything new in the works??

Promising review: “Love these decals! I’m in a rental space and wanted to spruce things up for the summer without breaking the bank. It took me 20 minutes to do, super easy to stick and smooth out nicely, even on my textured walls. Makes my space so much cozier and is a very budget friendly option, especially for renters. I will say that two of my decals did rip when I was removing them from the paper… cutting the torn pieces off and using on the edge of the wall made for an easy fix. Completely worth the money!!!” —Casey

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (includes 32 leaves).

Promising review: “Incredible addition to my bathroom! They’re relatively small (see picture to compare to standard tissue box size), but they work perfectly for cotton pads, etc. I was worried when I realized that they were plastic, however, I have come to love that they are! I don’t have to worry about them breaking and I can even throw them into a suitcase for long trips. The lids fit perfectly, and I like how tightly they pop on and off. There are some small imperfections in the plastic but I’m a neat freak and it doesn’t bother me at all. You will not regret this purchase!” —Amazon Customer

Get two from Amazon for $6.49 (available in four colors and multiple pack styles).

They are made of substantial, high-quality materials, and look and feel “high-end.” The rainfall shower is amazing with perfect pressure combined with beauty. It encourages standing for long, relaxing showers just enjoying the water as it falls over you. The handheld is magic for sore muscles or just to enjoy the massage like water. The diverter is easy to use. The price for such high-quality products is more than reasonable.” —linda33

Wayfair has similar light fixtures for triple the price. I have been looking for the right fixture for quite a while. This really brightens a room and pulls it together. The 12-bulb version is quite large, it works very well for a vaulted and sloped ceiling. I am so impressed with the quality, it looks fantastic in person and not to mention expensive.” —Kim Andrew

Get it from Amazon for $76.99+ (available in two finishes and two styles).

Their paper bags have got nothing on these. 

Amazon

These are also microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

Promising review: “I saw these containers for the first time on one of those aesthetically pleasing TikToks. I thought to myself, ‘I need these to be my best organized self.; When I came to Amazon and saw how much they were, I was appalled. Because, quite frankly, why would I spend that much on ONE little container? I was so curious as to why it was so expensive, I went ahead and bought one to see what all of the fuss was about. When I got the package, and took that sleek heavy duty bad boy out, I knew immediately why it was on the higher side. It’s sleek, durable, adorable, and excellent quality. It’s microwave safe, which is nice. It’s also dishwasher safe, which is even nicer. I realized that I do, in fact, need these in my life. I plan on purchasing more of them and I definitely recommend giving them a try!” —Ally

Promising review: “I picked up this little timer on a whim after reading about the Pomodoro technique for the 100th time, and vowing that this time will be the time that I actually follow through instead of lapsing back into flitting from thing to thing, starting tons of projects, and never getting any done. I don’t know what it is about the timer, but having it beside me has worked like a talisman. As long as it’s in view I find it very easy to stay focused and stay on track. It’s like a mini personal life coach that just stands there and taps her toes while you work.” —chandra orr

44. A peel-and-stick wallpaper to brighten up your home with its marvelous, Mediterranean tile touch.Amazon

Promising review: “I am IN LOVE. I bought this to use as a backsplash in my rented studio apartment kitchen, which has potential to be pretty but really needs some help. I ordered two rolls thinking that if I liked it in my kitchen, I’d order more to use on the wall behind my bar cart. I loved it so much when it came in that I decided to go ahead and put it up on the big wall and deal with the kitchen later. The pattern is so easy to line up and it looks so good! My tiny, dark apartment instantly looked bigger and brighter. Even up close I can’t tell where the seams are. It was super easy to put up by myself, though I would recommend having another person to help if possible because it would have taken a lot less time if I’d had someone to hold it steady while I lined up the edges. If I could give six stars I would. It’s expensive but worth every penny!” —Lizzy

46. And finally, a very boring banner to show that even if your life looks ordinary on paper…you (and your home decor) are something extra special. FunCult / Etsy

FYI most of the products from this shop are made to order and thus, they take a little extra time to ship — keep that in mind when making your purchase! 

FunCult is a woman-owned small business run by Caitlin Holcomb from Aurora, Illinois.

Their Instagram is a ton of fun, and their logo is so great I want it…tattooed to my body.
