1. A contemporary end table if your space could use a little drip — both literally and figuratively.
Promising review: "I love the way it picks up color and plays with light and shadow. Amazing work of art. I highly recommend it. It arrived quickly, was boxed very well, and was super easy to set up. Light enough but also sturdy enough to stand safely." —Susan Stec
Get it from Amazon for $197.89+ (available in four finishes).
2. A faux taxidermy toucan (or narwhal, or bunny, etc., etc.) you can use to start up a wall of curious or zhuzh up your existing collection.
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this toucan. Adorable colors and beautifully made. Really brings a whimsical pop of color into our baby's room. So happy with this purchase!" —Melissa
"Love, love. love him. I'm an adult who shops at Crate and Kids for myself!" —Martine
Get it from CB2 for $59 (available in five styles).
3. A vintage-inspired doormat with hexagonal tiles you can arrange into any design or saying you please — PG or X-rated.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with my Letterfolk tile mat! Such a fun way to decorate for ANY event! It's fun to lay out the designs and everyone always compliments them!" —Aubrey T.
Get it from Amazon (available in three sizes and two colors) or Letterfolk for $75+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
4. An Iris Apfel x Ruggable washable area rug so bright and attention-grabbing, no one will notice that you pushed your fiddle-leaf fig out of sight and carefully turned it around so only the good leaves are showing.
How does one throw an entire rug in the wash, you might ask? Well, Ruggable's options come in two parts: the decorative rug cover and a grippy rug pad. When you're ready to give your rug a wash, just separate the two pieces and throw the top layer in the wash. Easy as can be!
Promising review: "The rug is gorgeous and looks great in our dining room! I’ve already washed it once and it looks brand new. I will definitely be buying more Ruggables!" —Christina
Get it from Ruggable for $129+ (available in 11 sizes, 2 pile heights, 3 colors, and with a standard or premium rug pad).
5. An upholstered bed frame in basically every print imaginable. I know you think I'm hyperbolizing, but it literally comes in 98 different designs.
The Inside is a small home furnishings brand that partners with heritage design brands like Scalamandré (seen above) and Old World Weavers.
Promising review: "Seriously, for the money, this is the best bed on the market. It is SO sturdy, NO squeaking, makes our bedroom look a million times more put together, and only took around two hours to build." —EJ
Get it from The Inside for $1,039+ (available in sizes Twin–King and in 98 different patterns).
6. A set of animal kingdom wall hooks to serve as doormen so visitors can check in their keys and coats. Now, what should you name them...? Something to think about. 🤔
Promising review: "Love these! Great condition, good size, and easy install. I’m a big fan. Only need them to hold hats but suspect they can hold something with more weight. Would definitely recommend for any animal lover or someone looking for a pop of gold whimsy." —Kailey Laneve
Get a set of six from Amazon for $22.99.
7. A UFO-shaped cat box that not only looks stellar, but prevents your kitty baby from kicking litter all over the dang place.
Happy and Polly is a small business with all sorts of cutesy cat and dog products from carriers and scratching posts to water fountains and even apparel.
Get it from Happy and Polly for $179.99.
8. An Anthropologie sofa so chic, you may just faint on it the second it's delivered. The good news is it's so soft, your aging Millennial bones won't even feel a thing.
Promising review: "This sofa is stunning in person! The colors of the woven print are bright and contrast nicely with the green velvet cushion and piping. The shape complements the materials beautifully and offers support. It is quite large and very comfortable — could definitely be used as an extra place to sleep!" —Ettamarie
Get it from Anthropologie for $2,698.
9. A cow-print shelf where you can show off your favorite trinkets or store the perfectly curated jars of rice, pasta, and lentils you'll never actually cook. I love you being aspirational, though!
Promising review: "This is seriously the easiest shelf ever to mount! You use the little level that slides into the track to make sure it's level, then nail in the nails, and hang the shelf on it. It takes about three minutes! I really like the modern look of the metal. Love it!" —NewtoDIY
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $149.
10. A 3D flower wall hanging for those who have no desire (or ability) to keep an actual plant alive.
Wire and Mesh Art is a Goshen, Kentucky–based shop with wire decor in many different styles and colors.
Promising review: "This is a really gorgeous piece of wall art! I appreciate that it’s very delicate, yet still stands out — it's the perfect accent for the gallery wall in my bedroom. They also included a tiny accent butterfly with my order, which was so sweet and very much appreciated. Shipping was super quick and my item was securely packed. Can’t recommend this enough!" —Andrea DiBenedetto
Get it from Wire and Mesh Art for $25.50+ (originally $34+; available in four sizes and with or without a stem).
11. A bold peel-and-stick wallpaper you can use to create an accent wall or completely make over a bijou bathroom. Owning big cats — a la Joe Exotic — may be frowned upon, but these guys are kosher.
Small biz Walls Have Soul custom prints their sustainable peel-and-stick wallpapers in Las Vegas. While the wall coverings can be installed permanently, they're also great for renters as they can be removed with just water.
Promising review: "The paper was beautiful and easy to install. It is thick the color is beautiful." —Devone
Get it from Walls Have Soul on Etsy for $3+ (available in 16 sizes; can also order samples).
12. An adorable cow print ottoman with two horns and four widdle legs. While it'd make a great nursery piece, I think I'd want it in the living room so if my cat jumped up it'd look like she was entering her first rodeo.
Promising review: "I smiled when I saw this online and thought 'Why not?!' Turns out it is a really useful little ottoman and extremely comfortable. I love the touch of whimsy it brings to my living room." —Pamela M-L
Get it from Amazon for $74.99.
13. A ceramic lips planter that makes me think of both The Rolling Stones and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Basically, it makes me want to throw open the windows, enjoy the breeze, and sing along (badly) to songs that I only know 50% off the lyrics to.
14. A pack of peel-and-stick tiles ready to revamp your rental's questionable eggshell walls. There's no grout or power tools necessary, but you will want to wrangle a willing helper.
The tiles come coated with self adhesive so they're exceptionally easy to apply.
Promising review: "This was super simple to install. Looks realistic, too. Very pretty surround for my fake fireplace in an antique mantel." —Amazon Customer
Get a 10-sheet pack from Amazon for $28.99 (available in nine styles/colors).
15. A Tarot-themed room divider so guests can see your bright future but not the 2-week-old pile of laundry you kicked into the corner of your room.
The double-sided piece ships fully assembled and stands six feet tall.
Promising review: "It was a little bit different than I was expecting. I thought it was going to have wooden cut out frames for each individual card. It’s printed canvas stretched across the frame. I love it, though! It’s perfect for my home office space. I’m very happy with my purchase and shipping was fast." —Texas86
Get it from Amazon for $155.12.
16. A hot pink, lip-shaped settee that I really feel like I don't need to explain. Just look at it!!
Get it from Minimal & Modern for $799 (originally $1,439).
17. A disco ball bar cart so stunning, it'll blind guests to that fact that you didn't have time to get your apartment completely in order before your doorbell rang.
Here's more from BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer:
"This is the best product *I* bought this year, actually! When I saw this disco ball bar cart on TikTok (and BTW, that TikToker also says it's their best purchase of the year!!), I just knew I had to have it. It's from a small biz based in the UK and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust free. I bought the "champagne" color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige) but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor. "
Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $284.64 (available in seven colors).
18. A patchwork desk chair that — TBH — kinda looks like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Don't worry, though, the legs won't fall off.
Promising review: "10/10 stars would recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love this chair! ❤️ I purchased it to go with my new desk in my back sunroom that I converted into a home office. It’s perfect! I’m at my desk most of the day and the chair is very comfortable. Sturdy, well-made, and easy to assemble." —Tiffany L.
Get it from Amazon for $104.92.
19. A Gatsby-esque velvet headboard with two built-in side tables so you have a place to put your drink that isn't the floor!
Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this headboard. It is EXACTLY as it looks in the photos, super high quality and has all the swanky vibes. Just like the other reviews say, it is super but also super easy to put together (did it by myself). My bed frame is a tall one so that is going to make the end tables a lil lower… but for me that's just fine. Overall the quality of this is beautiful and the style is very unique." —Crissa
Get it from Article for $699+ (available in Queen and King sizes and in two colors).
20. An egg-shaped bath mat that'll prevent any Humpty Dumpty-style slips or falls post shower so you can go earn that bacon! 🥓
21. A banana duck figurine if your favorite kind of decor is that which makes your guest do a double take.
Promising review: "This perfect little desk ornament for my office gets tons of laughs and compliments. Big fan, but the look in its eyes shows that it has more to be discovered. Will update when it finally reveals its secrets to me." —D Wuller
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six styles).
22. An accent chair so plush, it'll feel like you're sitting on a cloud and I mean a puffy cumulus one, not a thin lil' cirrus one. Just don't be surprised if guests ask if they can sit before doing so because it definitely looks like a show piece.
Promising review: "Exactly how it was described in the listing. This chair is very comfortable and the swivel makes it extra fun. I would recommend this chair for any household as the material is easy to clean against kid and pet stains." —Jodi
Get it from Wayfair for $409.99 (originally $899.99; available in two colors).
23. A contemporary, sculptural lamp that takes up little space but makes a major impact no matter where it's placed.
The set only comes with the bases, so you'll need a couple of lightbulbs, if you don't have any in your home.
Promising review: "Bought these on a whim. Wasn’t sure if they’d be good or not. Turns out they are so cool! I love them. Just adds ambiance to my room. They were very easy to assemble and i could enjoy them immediately." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $43.99 (note they come without lampshades).
24. A snail hand soap dispenser if you're sick of regular ol' bottles of Dial but you aren't the ~aesthetic~ type who's into refillable amber glasses, either.
Promising review: "In the week or so I've had this thing it has brought me so much joy. I'm always so excited for my snail to vomit on my dish scrubber, or my hand. It's surprising how such a simple soap dispenser has changed my whole family's life for the better. This was once a house where dishes were a hated chore. Now, it's a blood bath to get anywhere near the legendary 🐌." —Zoe Scoville
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
25. A decorative cat towel that'll silently watch you microwave your day-old pizza or scroll TikTok on the toilet.
Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $13.42+ (available in 28 designs).
26. A melting Dalí clock that'll make people stop and stare.
Promising review: "My whole family loves it! It’s so unique and fun to display. It's a very special piece to own from one of my favorite artists, Salvador Dali. I wish it was a sturdier material (it’s plastic), but either way, it will be safely displayed and the quality looks so good you can’t tell it’s plastic until you touch it. I would love if they made a larger size, but this size is great too!" —Luz C
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 13 finishes).
27. A hanging disco ball planter if having ABBA play 24/7 isn't enough to let your guests know you live and breathe to boogie.
Promising review: “This planter brings me so much joy every day! It is well crafted and beautifully packaged. I appreciate the extra touches like the fact it comes with a few extra mirrored tiles and that there are different ways to display it (it comes with a stand and nicely braided hanging rope). Every day my whole living room becomes a party. :) I cannot recommend this enough.” —Phil
Get it from Amazon for $27.97.
28. A furry ottoman that you'll no doubt pet as if it's your dog. It's seriously that soft.
Promising review: "I bought two of these because I wanted accent chairs but didn’t have enough room in my small space. I didn’t think anyone would like them, but I’ve gotten so many compliments on them. They’re soft and sturdy and very easy to assemble." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (also available as an ottoman and in dozens of colors).
29. A fancy new switch plate cover cause if you live in a rental like me, chances are your existing ones are covered in what TikTok likes to call the "landlord special" — approx. 46 coats of chipping paint.
I picked up one of these a while back (those are my photos above) and I am a v happy customer. While I'm not ready to shell out $15 a piece for the other switches in my apartment, just doing this one in my living room — where I have a gallery wall of prints in similar gold and brass frames — really made a difference! And should I come into any surprise money, I would definitely invest in more down the line.
Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DIRECTV." —Karebow
Get it from Amazon for $22.50+ (available in five finishes).
30. A set of geode bookends sure to draw some serious attention to your collection and make certain everything stays in its place. PS: The bottoms have rubber bumpers, so they won't scrape your bookshelf.
Promising review: "Love it — the rocks are BEAUTIFUL. Showed up on time and these are great book holders. I have them across my fireplace mantle and have had nothing but compliments. Highly recommended for the crystal quality and I’ll definitely be ordering more in other colors. Thanks." —Gage
Get them from Amazon for $26.98+ for two (available in five colors and four weights).
31. And a witchy spine candle that looks like something a serial killer would have in their house but also imagine how cool it'll look when it starts to melt and pool wax!
