1. A three-wick scented candle with such a classy look, no one will believe you spend less than $10 on it. The scents of vanilla, jasmine, and musk will make you feel like you're at a spa, even when you're just working from your computer while sprawled across the couch.
Promising review: "Beautiful and inexpensive — two of my favorite things! I love having candles going around my house on my days off. I've been buying the regular three-wick Mainstays candles because they are only around $3.50, but when I came across these (which have frosted glass and cost just a little bit more), I was sold! They smell just as nice as the more expensive candles at a fraction of the price, so why waste your money? I love having my home smelling nice and looking nice, and this candle helps me do it while keeping with the frugal budget I like to keep! Thanks, Walmart!" — Heather Price: $5.
97 2. Or a passive diffuser if you can't trust your cats and/or children with open flames. You can use literally any scent you like, and it'll pump it out consistently for days before you have to refill it.
Promising review: "This diffuser works quickly and refreshes my entire living space so nicely with the essential oil of my choosing. I add a few drops of water when adding more oil to dilute the scent a little, as well as make it last longer." — Amber Price: $10 3.
A surprisingly chic modular sectional couch with a storage ottoman you can position wherever best fits your living room. The seat and back covers are removable for cleaning, which is for some awful reason, a rarity for couches. Promising review: "A decision which you'll never regret! Shipping was super fast, and the sofa is comfortable and suits our living room very well.
Assembly isn't a hard job. My kids, wife, and I love our new sofa. I'm so happy with my purchase decision!" — Qing Price: $335.
99+ (available in six sizes and two colors) 4. An accent chair that looks like it cost you five times more — and SWIVELS. You'll have a hard time getting your guests to leave once they settle into this bad boy.
Promising review: "As you can tell, we are big fans of West Elm's mid-century modern design catalog. However, we are larger fans of BHG's uncompromising value, quality, and design. The chairs are remarkably well made.
The swivel is smooth. The fabric is sturdy yet supple. This is a must-have piece for any home.
" — BiggE Price: $220+ (originally $248, available in three colors) 5. A pushback recliner , so you can finally replace your partner's absolutely hideous chair that they refuse to give up because "it's so comfortable." This is so enormous that they'll be able to really stretch out when they're "not sleeping" while you're watching TV together.
Promising review: "Absolutely fantastic chair, especially for the price. I've been looking for an oversized chair for over a year when I stumbled upon this one. It is an excellent size, and it is such a bonus that it reclined.
When it came in (three days after I ordered it!), and I got it assembled, it was such a wonderful surprise. It's not too hard, and I absolutely love it." — Lisa Price: $327.
99+ (available in three colors) 6. An absolutely massive TV stand with both concealed and open storage, so you can show off the good stuff while also hiding any ugly appliances or piles of random junk you can't bring yourself to get rid of. Promising review: "It took me just over an hour to put this together myself.
THe hinges were hard for me to do alone. Otherwise, it was very easy to put together and looks great! It arrived quickly and was very well packaged. Great buy for the price.
" — Heather Price: $142.48+ (originally $222, available in two colors) 7. A five-shelf bookcase if you've got loads of books you want to display, but don't have the space for anything bulky.
The open shelving and tapered legs lend it an airy look that ensures your space won't look cluttered. If I didn't have a jungle of plants to accommodate, I would put one on each side of my TV to make the room feel balanced and symmetrical. Promising review: "Wow, I love this bookcase! I may purchase another! So beautiful and high quality.
Looks far more expensive than it was! Easy assembly! And even taller than I expected!" — Erin Price: $227 (available in two colors) 8. Or this three-tier plant stand if you also have a jungle of plants in your living room that could use a bit of styling. Each tray has a lip to ensure that you'll never have to worry about water spilling onto and staining your wood floors again.
Promising review: "I really love this stand. It looks super cute by the window. It was so easy to assemble.
It took me about a minute or two. Exactly what I needed. I recently bought some indoor plants, and I'm planning to get more, so I might buy another stand for my other room.
I bought two different stands, but I like this one better, especially since it's cheaper than the other one. I definitely would recommend this item!" — VIOLET Price: $16.98 9.
A console table to stick behind your couch so no one has to reach to get their drink or snack from the coffee table. I use a console table in my living room (simply because I don't have the room for a real table) and it's actually so convenient, I will probably always want to have one. Price: $233.
59+ (available in two colors) 10. A peel-and-stick wallpaper to decorate those boring white walls without risking pissing your landlord off by breaking out a bucket of paint. Promising review: "A beautiful, vintage, old-world pattern that looks great! I was hesitant when I opened the box, but once it was on the wall, I was obsessed.
" — Donna Price: $22.43+ (originally $29.97, available in three colors) 11.
A two-pack of velvet throw pillows if you want your living room to have lots of color and whimsy. With the adorable pom-pom borders and rich color options, these will do just the trick. Promising review: "These pillows were absolutely beautiful! I wasn't sure when ordering if they would work, but the quality and craftsmanship were definitely high-quality! I would order them in every color if I needed.
A definite must-buy for anyone looking for velvet pillows! And the price point was fabulous!" — Peggy Price: $24.97 (available in four sizes and eight colors) 12. A throw blanket that'll make every moment of the day feel like the golden hour.
Who wouldn't want to snuggle up in sunshine while the AC keeps them from overheating? Promising review: "This vivid-yellow chenille throw is absolutely yummy! It has a nice, quality weight to it. And who doesn't love fringe on both ends? Such an excellent bright pop of color on our sofa. It simply cheers the entire room up!" — Diana Price: $26.
59 13. A machine-washable rug because you need something to pull the room together, but your pets make investing in a more expensive rug that can't go in the washing machine a bad idea. Big area rugs typically cost an arm and a leg, so this is a steal whether you have pets or not.
Promising review: "It's beautiful, lays out flat, and feels soft. Perfect for the size of my living room. Brightens my whole space.
" — Ekc Price: $28.92+ (originally $33.99, available in 10 colors and 13 sizes) 14.
A wavy mirror you can hang behind the couch to reflect the sunlight and make your living room feel bigger and brighter. Promising review: "This mirror is sturdy, absolutely adorable, and unique. A great value for the money.
" — Kari Price: $39.99 (available in two colors) 15. A fiddle-leaf fig because, in my humble (and incredibly biased) opinion, nothing improves a room more than plants.
Promising review: "This plant is gorgeous and healthy. The plant and soil were packaged well. I unpacked it outside, but there was little to no mess.
The plant is sturdy and leaves are all healthy. Easy to place in the designated pot and enjoy." — Nicole Price: $40.
97 16. A pair of dimmable lamps , so you can set the vibe accordingly. These also have USB ports, which will make it that much easier to find the charging cord when you're rotting on the couch.
Promising review: "These lamps came packaged very well and were very simple to put together. The quality is great, and they look so nice on the console table behind my sofa. Not too bulky for that space.
Just the right size and height." — Stephanie Price: $65.99 (originally $79.
99, available in three sizes) 17. A curtain panel that you'll most definitely want to close when the sun is literally so bright, you feel like you're getting a sunburn — or at least sweating more than you'd prefer to be. It'll let the light through while blocking the harshest rays.
Plus, having floor-to-ceiling curtains actually makes your ceilings seem higher than they are. Promising review: "I can't say enough about these curtains. I purchased the 96-inch panels for my 8-foot ceilings, and they make the room look taller.
They don't keep the light out, but they give me privacy. They work for my needs and are great quality. For the price, I can't complain.
" — Tina Price: $5.88+ (available in three sizes and eight colors) 18. A two-tier coffee table that's sure to ~weave~ some charm into your living room.
Promising review: "Cannot say enough about this product. I was looking for something with a coastal vibe. The table is large and solid.
It was packaged extremely well. The directions were easy to follow, and it went together well. So pleased.
I also bought the side table and saw the same wonderful results. Fraction of the cost for these items compared to others. Would recommend.
" — BedsideTable Price: $118 (originally $178, available in two colors) 19. And an exquisite book of photography to place on top of it. Your guests will be so immersed in flipping through its pages that they won't even notice they've been waiting for you to finish scrambling in the kitchen and get this dinner party started.
Promising review: "It was a beautiful book and got here fast." — Laurie Price: $31.63 (originally $41.
81) 20. A matted picture frame , so you can display your photos in style. You could also use them to hang art you've printed off your computer for an affordable alternative that perfectly matches your preferences.
Promising review: "I really wanted to start a gallery wall with six to nine extra-large frames that were matted to a small photo. Every frame I looked at from Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, or similar was easily over $75 and upwards of $125 individually. The frames at IKEA are super cheap and fall apart, Wayfair has frames with terrible reviews, and I didn't want to deal with that headache.
This frame had good reviews, so I went for it, and they did not disappoint. I searched "gallery walls" on Pinterest, and this frame came up. I'm so glad I purchased it.
Initially, I bought three, and I'll be buying six more. The frame is a sturdy iron, and the matting is covered by a very sturdy yet chic acrylic. Not the cheap kind that scratches.
The frame isn't super heavy, so I'm not concerned about any damage or it falling once mounted. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to make an elegant gallery wall without spending a fortune." — Constance Price: $12.
98 (available in two finishes, two pack sizes, and 10 sizes) 21. A mosaic vase that'll look gorgeous with or without flowers in it. Plus, what's a better hint to your significant other that you expect a bouquet the next time they do something dumb than an empty flower vase? 😇 Promising review: "Lightweight gorgeous mosaic vases.
Perfect size for rooms with vaulted ceiling. Bought both styles at a great price!" — M Price: $38.25 22.
A storage basket to hold your blankets when you're not snuggling up in them. Pro tip: Stick it right next to your couch so you can just toss the blanket in when you're done using it. Promising review: "It's perfect! A little larger than I thought it would be, but that makes it even better.
" — Kim Price: $39.49+ (available in four colors and two pack sizes) 23. An eight-pack of coasters , because what's more chic than unblemished furniture? Unblemished furniture sporting all-natural slate coasters, that's what.
Promising review: "Excellent! Doesn't stick to the bottom of glasses or bottles like most coasters do." — CRThom Price: $16.07 24.
A cute and cozy dog bed if you feel guilty kicking your baby off the couch, but having them shedding all over it is certainly not helping you elevate the look of your place. It's so plush, that they'll probably get over the new rules sooner than you expect. Promising review: "My 13-year-old dog has slept with me since he was six weeks old—until I got this bed.
He loves this bed! I've bought him others, and he barely laid in them. This is the best dog bed I've ever seen. My Shih Tzu sleeps on his back in it.
He never sleeps on his back! It's the perfect dog bed." — LaDonna Price: $8.74 (originally $24.
97, available in two colors) 25. A pair of coral bookends to ~corral~ your collection. They would not only keep your books upright and organized but also add a touch of coastal charm to your living room.
Promising review: "Very beautiful but heavier than expected." — Gail Price: $28.06+ (available in five styles) 26.
A TV wall mount that'll not only upgrade the look of your living room but also the functionality — you can tilt or turn it so that you can watch it from different areas of the room or block the glare from the windows. Promising review: "This is the first time I've put a swivel TV wall mount in our mobile home, but this one is great. Plenty of extras in case of loose screw.
Got it up. Love it. Sturdy.
" — amy Price: $15.99 (originally $19.98) 27.
A four-pack of cable covers to conceal any ugly wires cluttering up the room. These covers will seamlessly blend into white walls, giving your living space a sleek and organized appearance while eliminating tripping hazards. Promising review: "Great for consoles.
Keeps everything tiday and blends in with white walls." — Casey Price: $9.99 28.
A natural-wood clock that not only enhances your decor but also gives you one less reason to check your phone every ten seconds. Promising review: "This arched indoor tabletop clock crafted from light natural wood is a charming addition to any space, blending rustic charm with modern functionality. The thing that caught my eye about this clock is its unique design.
The arched shape and light wood finish give it a contemporary yet timeless appeal that effortlessly complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to Scandinavian." — Breanna Price: $9.96 Need ingredients for all your new recipes?
