1. Some LED cloud lights because ~the sky's the limit~ when it comes to cool decor that can totally transform your space! Each cloud has eight different light settings (fade, flash, dim, etc.), is battery operated so there are no ugly cords to try and hide, and even includes a convenient timer.
2. A hidden bookshelf to turn your prized book collection into a bookworm's dream display so you can admire them daily.
It works by holding the cover of the bottom book!
Promising review: "These are my favorite decorating item ever. Purchased four years ago in medical school. And have held up over many moves." —Susan Giampalmo
Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in four sizes and two colors).
3. Some truly amazing wood polish and conditioner that'll make your scratched and dinged up wood furniture look brand new, because it turns out we can have nice things.
Promising review: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever... It was dry and dirty and not much to look at. I used this product on it and the oak wood literally came alive showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel... fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski
Get a bottle on Amazon for $11.85.
ALSO, if your wood issues are a tad more serious, you may want to try their other (also with over 1,000 reviews!) product called Restore-A-Finish since it works harder on scratches and marks that are tougher to remove. The two products are made to be used together. Get that on Amazon for $10.
4. A prismatic window film – it's easy to stick on any glass surface for an extra layer of privacy *and* some gorgeous rainbow reflections that'll make your space feel a little more magical.
See BuzzFeed's full write-up on this rainbow window film.
Promising review: "This window film is just STUNNING! I used it for the bottom half of my windows on my main floor for added privacy, so I don’t always have to keep my curtains closed! I wasn’t expecting all the beautiful colors the film presents throughout the day. It’s like having crystal prisms all over the house and it changes from minute to minute! Applying it is also very easy, I recommend getting the application kit that is recommended by Amazon." —Stacy M. Ambrose
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in seven sizes).
5. Some faux ivy that'll make a de-VINE addition to any room that needs a little touch of green.
Promising review: "These vines are perfect for adding a pop of greenery to any room. They drape nicely over curtain rods and are easy to hang. I like that they come bound with a little bread tie so they are not tangled. They arrive in a ziplock plastic bag, which you could also use for storage. They do smell bad right out of the bag — a typical plasticky fake garland smell — but honestly, the smell faded within hours, and it’s totally worth it because they are high quality. The plastic part is thin and not bulky like some fake vines and garlands I’ve purchased, and the leaves feel silky — that’s why these drape easily and delicately, and they don’t look cheap. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I’m planning to buy more!" —T. Nicole Cirone
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
6. An absolutely stunning tapestry to ensure that you have a beautiful view no matter where you are.
Not feeling animal print? You can also grab a solid black version if that's your taste.
Promising review: "This wallpaper has all the looks of expensive, sexy wallpaper without the high price. I used it to cover a simple dresser which I also purchased through Amazon (pictured above, left). The wallpaper is strong and has a great texture to it. I would recommend this wallpaper to anyone. This is not a true deep black if you're looking for that. It definitely have a lot of gray tones in it." —Jake Strickland
Get it from Amazon for $59.19.
8. A cute little wicker laundry hamper – it fits neatly in the corner so it doesn't take up too much floor space, comes with its own removable cotton canvas laundry bag, and looks so much nicer than plastic laundry baskets cluttering up your home.
It's got over 1,000 5-star reviews for a reason!
Promising review: "This is by far one of the most innovative ideas I have seen in a long time. No more plastic dirty clothes hampers, showing off all you haven't washed. This fits just perfect between my dresser and the door to the closet. Holds tons of clothes (they never seem to reach the top) and it is attractive to look at. Great invention! (Must have been a woman who designed this). Well-made and attractive!" —Pamala
Get it from Wayfair for $24.99 (originally $45.99).
9. A super detailed, dual color moon-shaped light perfect for adding some lunar glow to your space. Leave on its perch or carry it around with you from room to room — its coziness knows no bounds!
Promising review: "I originally bought the 7-inch moon for my husband as a gift of 'I love you to the moon and back' for our anniversary... Well, I loved his moon so much that I kept stealing it from our bedroom and taking it to the living room. So I bought myself the 5.9-inch moon to compare sizes and have one to call my own. As it turns out, the slightly smaller 5.9-inch one is just as amazing as the seven-inch. These moons charge up fast with a cord (with a cool 'blue moon' color when charging) and then once charged, they are completely free from cords or any connection dependence. They light up with a very detailed real moon surface design in white or yellow, and it will totally mesmerize you. You can literally 'hold the whole moon in your hand' and use it as a cordless and battery-free lamp, a nightlight, a lantern or quasi-candle in the dark. The wood stand is sleek and super easy to assemble, and is a perfect accent to any room décor. These moons are the best gift for friends, family, co-workers, kids, pets and spouses. My #1 purchase pick for 2020!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and love seat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz

19. A very cool magnetic key holder that'll make you smile every time you use it. Plus, it'll help keep your keys from cluttering up your other surfaces.
Promising review: "This is one of the most useful purchases I've ever made on Amazon. I use it every single day to hang my keys. I've had it for at least half a year now it seems. It hasn't lost any magnetism and it holds my car keys, remote start, USB, rewards/gift cards, house and work keys, etc. I'm in love. One of the best purchases I've made." —Makenah

Promising review: "I'm in love. These Edison bulbs are a phenomenal addition to just about any room in the home. I bought these bulbs for my bedside table lamps. They're a perfect addition to my Steampunk industrial themed bedroom. Definitely recommend these Edison bulbs. Side note: my bedside table lamps are touch lamps with three dimming levels. The bulbs work on all three dimming levels." —Zachary
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.99.

Distressed Me Not is a family-owned small business based in North Carolina that creates handmade rustic and beachy pieces that'll make your home feel warm and toasty.
Promising review: "We live in the mountains and have lots of coats, scarves, and hats all over the place. This rack is twice as big as what we had before, with the added attraction of having a shelf on top. I went to a little antique shop and got a few things to put on top, and my husband and I really like the look! The shelf is well-made and of a quality that it is built to last." —Bev Linder
Get it from Distressed Me Not on Etsy for $29+ (available in 10 sizes and with or without a top shelf).
Promising review: "Finally found faux candles that AREN'T orange. I understand flames are orange, but I don't know why every fake candle company makes the entire thing orange. Those never look realistic to me. These are perfect and white with an awesome flicker. I need these for my wedding since my venue doesn't allow real candles outside and I am so excited I bought these." —K.T.
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

It's easy to clean, works great on both hard floors and carpet, and is a breeze to move from room to room whenever you wanna change things up.
Promising review: "This is by far the best baby purchase we've made. Guests think it's a beautiful carpet and are so surprised when they see the other side. It's so cute and fun for baby! I love how durable this is and how easy it is to clean. We just sweep it and wash it with dish soap and water. It even survived a red wine spill. The guests who marveled at the carpet-like appearance also marveled at how stain-resistant it is. This mat has made tummy and playtime much safer with our hardwood floors. I can't say enough about how great this thing is!" —Ann F.
Get it from Amazon for $139.95+ (available in eight styles and two sizes).
26. A cool magnetic chess set for the person who likes their decor to double as an activity *or* is just obsessed with The Queen's Gambit.

Promising review: "I looked through a lot of different sets before deciding on this one. My boyfriend wanted a chess set but doesn't have a lot of table space, and he has a cat so I was afraid she would knock the pieces over or eat them. He loves wall art so this was the perfect solution! This also shipped so fast! I think I received it within two days of ordering. WOW!" —Andrea Sanchez
Get it from WindingHillsDesigns on Etsy for $69.
Plus, these bulbs come with a lot of super cool features!

Promising review: "I love this lightbulb! The app you download for it is very user friendly, and I adapted to it very quickly. You can adjust brightness and the color all from your phone. One of my favorite features is 'scene.' It has a variety of options like 'romantic,' 'reading,' and the coolest in my opinion: 'sunrise/sunset.' Over the span of 15 minutes, it mimics the colors of a sunrise/sunset. It goes from red, to orange, to purple, etc. It’s a very cool lightbulb and I recommend it to all of my friends." —Kristina Adamik
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

Promising review: "These lights are absolutely stunning! There are so many settings on the remote to attend to anyone’s needs! The lights can flicker, dim, become a disco room, and can also stay on one color of you’d like! My favorite thing is you can dim the light or you can make them brighter! 😍 very easy to install and very worth the money!" —Brittney

I highly recommend these!!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $34.99.
33. A Samsung TV cleverly designed to avoid being an eyesore when not in use by disguising itself as a beautiful picture frame. The motion sensor can even detect when you're present and change the display to your favorite art whenever you enter the room!
Promising review: "This is a beautiful TV – a little more formal for our living room. We have enjoyed the art reproductions on the screen as well as the superior picture! The colors pop on this screen. The frame gives it a streamlined look. One nice surprise is that the sound is actually perfect! After spending so much on the TV, we did not need a sound bar! Yay!" —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $1,197.99 (available in four sizes).
34. An easy-to-assemble canopy bed frame that'll turn your bed into your favorite place in the house.

Promising review: "These are even better than I imagined! The towels are so soft and the graphics look amazing. These were purchased as a gift, but I’m definitely going to order another batch for myself!" —bunnyheffner
