Promising review : "I’m very pleased with this bed! I put the whole bed up by myself and the instructions were easy to understand, mapped out perfectly, and I didn’t need any other tools other than what they put in the package. This bed is sturdy and well-made! Looks expensive. It is beautiful!!" — Amber Vaughn Get it from Amazon for $94.
99+ (available in Full and Queen sizes and two colors). 4. A wicker papasan swivel chair to hug you like a cloud.
The frame is actually metal wrapped in wicker, so it's super sturdy. Promising review: "Great chair! Very sturdy and beautiful. I was looking for a papasan chair online and was concerned by the reviews about them being easy to break and not high quality.
I was so happy to find this chair, though! It has a sturdy metal frame that’s wrapped in a wicker material that looks really nice. I absolutely recommend." — Nicholas Miller Get it from Amazon for $174.
59+ (available in 14 colors). 5. A set of four absorbent stone coasters that are as practical as they are pretty.
Because of the unique makeup of the stone, it absorbs/evaporates water in seconds — perfect for those of us who like our drinks with ice but don't love watermarks on our furniture. CoasterStone is a small business making a variety of drink coasters and trivets. The coasters absorb condensation, and the trivets stand up to heat and cold.
Each product is authentic and holds an official license from the original artist. Promising review : "These truly are the best coasters we have ever owned. They are super absorbent, so your glass will never stick.
I have purchased multiple sets of these and use them in every room of our house. I have also purchased them as gifts for others. I only buy the white ones, so they are also super easy to clean.
Pour a tiny amount of no-splash bleach on them, add a little water, and scrub with a toothbrush about once a year, and they look brand new. Have had them for years, and they still look perfect." — Lisa Get it from CoasterStone on Amazon for $25.
24 . 6. A velvet-y sleeper sectional with USB ports and side pockets so you never have to get up when it's time to veg out.

Promising review : "My husband and I LOVE this sectional!! It’s beautiful, sooo easy to build, and came two days early. It’s great for mid-century modern style (which is what we’re trying to achieve), and it is very comfortable.

A contemporary double-door buffet that you can use in your dining area to store extra tableware or keep in your living room to use as an entertainment center. I personally have this in my home, and I keep barely used (but still needed) appliances, seasonal dinnerware, and extra stemware in mine. Promising review : "I LOVE the way this piece looks in my apartment.
It definitely matches the mid-century modern style I have throughout the rest of my space. I used this as an entertainment center, but I am highly considering buying another one to use as a credenza in my dining room!" — Justin Parker Get it from Amazon for $185.00+ (available in three colors).

” — Amy Get it from Amazon for $90.75+ (available in three finishes). 9.
A three-drawer accent dresser if you don't want your nightstand to be an afterthought. This is a great option if you have a smaller bedroom, as mirrors help make rooms seem larger than they are. Promising review: “Buy it!!!!! Absolutely stunning little dresser/night table.
I am blown away by how well it's made and how well it was packaged. You can see that the particleboard that it was packaged with on top is sturdier than most Ikea furniture! I love this style and have not been able to find anything like this in stores. Each piece is unique since it's real wood! The drawers are soft-closing and deep.
It comes ready to go, aside from the legs which you must attach. I had some issues, and customer service was quick and solved my issue! I will be purchasing additional furniture from this company and have already recommended them to my sister. I can't stop staring at it ❤️.
” — Carmen Petru Tudosa Get it from Amazon for $155.99 . 10.

Promising review : “I’m in love with my new Nathan James barstools!!! They've got the looks, quality, and comfort combo that I was looking for. They make my kitchen look so fancy.

” — Juliet Barbosa Get it from Amazon for $134.42+ (available in 20 styles/colors). 13.
A bundle of faux pampas grass so you can have a neutral bouquet year round. It's not real, so you don't need to water it. Instead of having a beautiful arrangement of live flowers die within a few days, try a faux bouquet like this.
Promising reviews: "Loved this faux pampas, such good quality. The best thing is it doesn’t shed like real pampas. I highly recommend this product, it’s so on trend and makes for beautiful statement and decor.
" — jazG "I love love love these pampas! I was skeptical when I first bought them because I figured nice-looking pampas for this price would be a complete sham. I was proven wrong because they look/feel amazing. Not one person comes over without saying something about these pampas!" — Talhia R.

A pack of iridescent shelves for organizing your collections in style. From sunglasses and figurines to wallets and nail polishes, these will make any room cooler just be being hung on the wall. Promising review: "Worth it! Easy to install.
I bought two sets, one came with directions and the other didn’t but if you hung anything before, it’s not hard to figure out. The shelves came wrapped to keep scratch proof and accessories were in a baggie. It even came with a little level.
That was a nice touch! They arrived as described, worth the price, and made well." — Suzan Simon Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ for a set of six (available in nine colors).
15. A velvet ottoman that looks like something out of a fabulous 1950s movie. Between the tufting and the tassels, it's just so opulent.
Promising review : "Omg! I love this ottoman, beautiful. It's the perfect match for my sofa and chair. I've been looking for months to try to find something to match, so I took a chance on this one.
PERFECT!!!! I couldn't be happier." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $99.06+ (available in 15 colors).
16. An LED pearl in shell light if you're still trying to make mermaidcore happen. The "pearl" (a round LED bulb) is super shiny and bright and casts a gorgeous glow.
Promising review : " The picture doesn't do justice to the iridescent paint. I ordered the pink lamp, and it glimmers with hues of purple and green. Very pretty and mermaid-esque .
I was worried about the size because of other reviews, but the size is perfect and matches the product description. Any bigger would be too gaudy for a dresser or nightstand, in my opinion. It gives off as much light as your standard hallway nightlight, so maybe too dim for kids who are scared of the dark, but it is perfect for teens or adults who can't fall asleep with bright lights left on.
I love that it's cordless, so I can place it anywhere for decoration, though I haven't tested the battery longevity yet. My lamp arrived packaged in styrofoam and had zero damage. I'm very pleased.
It reminds me of Urban Outfitters' aesthetic and is perfect for a modern cabana decor theme." — Natalia C. Get it from Amazon for $27.

" — Malone B. Get a set of two from Amazon for $173+ (available in seven colors). 18.
A multi-globe floor lamp with a retro look for adding some grooviness to your home. Folks remark that it's really bright, which is great if you're the type of person who refuses to turn on the ceiling light (trust me, I get it). Promising review : "After seeing an orb lamp at West Elm I went looking for one that isn’t $500.
This lamp is definitely a shiny, brassy gold and not a satin, champagne-color gold, but I actually love the color! My new house has a much more vintage, art-deco vibe than my last place, and I think it fits right in with that. The milky orbs are beautiful and make the light nice and warm . It is pretty bright, but that works for me.
I have it in a corner of my office that I don’t look directly at very often, and think it will be the perfect alternative to overhead lights. All-in-all, I’m a huge fan and highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $87.09 (available in three colors).
19. A small, non-ticking alarm clock to wake you up without flashing lights. This small but mighty little guy is also battery-powered, and has a built-in nightlight should you need it.
We love an alarm clock that doesn't need to take up a precious electrical outlet. Promising review : "I am in love with this little clock. It’s as adorable as it looks online and fits in perfectly with my decor.
I appreciate its small size and neutral hues. The face is easy to read. It’s easy to use, just like the clocks of yore .
I’m relieved to hear no ticking and to have its very gentle light only when I press for it at night. So far, it seems to keep time well. My only wish would be a more pleasant sounding alarm; goodness knows though, there’s certainly no chance of me oversleeping now that I have this to awaken me!" — Amanda Get it from Amazon for $14.
99+ (available in 10 colors). 20. A chic sectional that looks way more expensive than it is.

Get the Park sectional from Albany Park for $2199+ (available in seven colors/fabrics and two leg finish options). 21.
A faux-leather-wrapped table lamp to add a pop of color to any neutral interior. Its simple shape will look good almost anywhere. Promising review: "This lamp is extremely pleasing to look at (I just ordered a second one).
It is also equally easy to assemble. Make sure you place the lamp shade the correct side up, or it will appear as if it doesn't cover the top of the bulb itself. The cord is a little short, so don't plan to place it too high up on a shelf.
Overall, it really is an attractive lamp, and with the right bulb, it lights up a very good portion of the room . I'd like one in each room if I could." — Johanna K.
E. Get it from Amazon for $23.04+ (available in 20 colors).

A bed canopy to add a little pizzazz to your bedroom without nailing anything to the wall. It's meant to hang from the ceiling, but the majority of reviewers hang it from the posts of their beds. Promising review: "I LOVE this canopy! It's great for the price.
It takes a minute to figure out which way it goes on the bed, but don’t get discouraged. You’ll figure it out. This is meant to hang from the ceiling, but you can make it work on posts.
I tied the hook strings around the bed post, and it holds great. It’s a great canopy." — Shonteka Get it from Amazon for $16.
99+ (available in seven colors). 24. A floor lamp with super cool LED rings, because lighting is an easy way to jazz up a space and set the mood.
It also has a dimmer! 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 finishes). 25.
A pack of two hanging baskets so you can embrace being a plant parent without giving up precious floor space. Also — and this is just a theory — I feel like plants that are elevated off the ground get less dusty. 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 Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Bought the bronze color and it is just beautiful. It's weighty and looks of good quality and workmanship but is not so heavy that it’s hard to work with if you want to lean it or hang it . I wanted the Primrose from Anthropologie but it's hard to pay that price.
This mirror is quality and has a lot better price. Move over, Primrose. I love it!.
" — Joni Bell Get it from Amazon for $92.99+ (available in seven colors and sizes). 27.

99+ (available in a variety of colors and sets of two or four). 28. A beautiful runner rug to add some texture to your floor.
Now when you're making the morning trek to the kitchen for coffee, you'll feel this niceness underfoot. Reviewers say this rug stays in place, but grab a rug gripper for extra security! Promising review: " Very nice quality rug, not thin, good weight stays put, washes up nicely. I wash on gentle, dry for for minutes on low, hang overnight to dry completely.
Use it as runner on top of large nonwashable white shag rug to protect from stains. Would buy more if it came in other colors." — JM Get the 2x6 size from Amazon for $25.

. Both my mom and sister asked where I bought these lights, so YES I would definitely refer these to others. You won’t be disappointed.

As I write this, I'm sitting in my new velvet chair, which is sturdy, super comfortable, and very pleasing to the eye.

Promising reviews: "I am very pleased with these scented drawer liners! They are perfect for my bedroom chest of drawers. The paper is heavy, and the scent is wonderful. I love it! I may buy them as gifts.
" — Jennifer "This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it.
I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance ." — Trillium Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three patterns).
