Promising review: "This worked perfect for a Mid Century Mod flip of a stereo console. Great quality material. Easy to use but must be wet to really manipulate it for fitting." —Sharis Lewis

"So easy to work with and it looks fantastic. Best canning I’ve ever used on a project before." —Anna Gerhardt

Get a roll from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in five styles and TONS of sizes).

BTW, the reviewer used the color 'Taupe' above!

Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. 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

Get it from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in six sizes and 30 colors).

Promising review: "This is one of the best products I’ve purchased on Amazon, period. I was not able to use a full-motion mount like I wanted to because the interior drywall in my condo didn’t have wood studs, only thin metal beams. I ended up returning that mount (which was considerably more expensive), and I’m so glad that all happened because this worked out well beyond my expectations and looks so great and flush!! It’s high quality; the instructions are beyond clear (and funny — a theme with this brand), and it’s super sturdy and strong, way more than the more expensive mount I had purchased before! I’m a user experience designer, and everything about this product is designed incredibly well; even the packaging and the attached leveling system that doubles as a locking mechanism is genius! The 32 nails are holding up my 46lb 65” LG TV more than enough. If you’re looking for a drywall mount, look no further; you won’t regret it!" —Alfredo Diaz Suarez

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available for TVs 32"-77").

Promising review: "The product was easy to install on a 32" TV. The LED strip consists of attachment ends that allow you to decide how much (or how little) you need. The placement is a little uneven because of my TV wall mount hardware, but THIS IS A GREAT PURCHASE. This adds to the ambiance of my room as well as enhancing movies and shows. The remote is highly responsive to chosen color changes. Grateful for the brightness adjustment and fade setting capabilities." —Jasmine

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 8.2- and 14.3 ft).

Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap-looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror, but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem; you need it!" —Celeste C

Get it from Amazon for $234.53+ (available in 10 sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "My husband installed this wallpaper in my home office, and I’m in love!! It’s gorgeous! I was with him while he put it up, and it was a bit difficult at times to align it just right. However, it was easy enough to gently peel off and re-stick to adjust when needed. It has been on the wall for two months now, and there has been no problem with the adhesion." —Christina D

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

Home Art Stickers is an Etsy shop full of unique tile decals, wallpapers, office decor, and more.

Promising reviews: "The stickers look fantastic over some old plain red clay tiles in front of this 120-year-old fireplace. It transformed the look! They were incredibly easy to apply, look real, and are easy to clean. Highly recommend for an affordable upgrade option!" —Megan Glenn

"These exceeded my expectations!! They are so realistic and of fantastic quality. They were very easy to put up, and you’d never know they weren’t real tile." —virgogirlvirgo

Get it from Home Art Stickers on Etsy for $9.40+ (available in various sizes and colors black, blue, and brown).

Promising review: "Great stencil that comes out amazing when done!!! My only recommendation would be to wash your stencil frequently as you use it or the pint builds up and causes the paint to bleed under the stencil a bit. Overall easy to use and looks beautiful!!" —KSerrano

Get it from Amazon for $5.49 (available in sets of two or four).

The kit includes two 31-oz. cans of Nuvo cabinet paint, one roller arm, two roller covers, two-inch angled paintbrush. Each covers 100 square feet of cabinet surface.

Promising review: "This product is wonderful! I could NOT be happier with the results. I only know how it works with the process I used after talking in depth with people who actually knew what they were doing. I’ve never done a project like this before. Not difficult, but definitely time-consuming. It was a MASSIVE amount of work, but I still feel like I’m walking into someone else’s kitchen, in a good way. Worth every minute of effort! Wood grain is hidden, finish and color are perfect. I highly recommend it - and it covers more than you think when you see the size of the can.In case this is helpful, this is what worked for me: I cleaned the doors and drawers with TSP, filled in the wood grain with an easy-to-manipulate, water-based wood filler (a stiffer consistency would have been a nightmare/project killer), sanded with 320 grit sandpaper, vacuumed off the dust with my vacuum wand with the brush attachment, wiped with wet paper towel to remove the rest of the dust, primed and then painted two coats of the Nuvo paint." —TS

Get it from Amazon for $55.01+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "If you have any doubts in your mind about these handle pulls.... don't!!! They are absolutely stunning in person. They are heavy and have a lux weighted feel and look to them. The brushed brass gleams the perfect amount. I truly get so happy every time I walk into my kitchen. These handle pulls make it magnificent. They're like jewelry for your kitchen. I couldn't be happier with them." —Ravi S

Get a set of 10 five-inch pulls from Amazon for $58.82.

Reviewers attached these in different ways, with some just using mounting tape in apartments for no damage to walls. Others installed them on doors and kitchen islands!

Promising review: "I really wanted an accent wall but don’t have any tools to create my own frames from molding, so this was such an easy DIY solution! I used liquid nails only to adhere to the wall and had no issues." —Megan

Get a single panel from Amazon starting at $12.79+ (available in sets and tons of sizes).

Includes a remote that can adjust the brightness.

Promising review: "This is a wonderful product; just what I wanted. Super easy to install, and I love that it breaks off into sections, so you don’t have any hanging over to hide. The remote is awesome, and there are lots of brightness settings. I’m going to use these everywhere!" —Queen Halloween

Get the six-piece kit from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two sizes and two light colors).

Promising review: "Very impressed. They feel risen like shallow real tiles; they shine and have a great overlap! True to color, thank [goodness]. Super easy to apply. Easy to cut if needed. The edges blend right into the wall. We did this in our rental, and the landlord freaked out… in a good way! She asked if we could do it for other units! Haha. We’ve had them up for a few months now; they are blasted with steam and heat from our dishwasher and electric tea pot every morning and are right up against the stove top; nothing has changed, no damage or lifting. Like I said, buy these for sure. They’re good!" —B Frost

Get five 11.43" x 9" sheets from Amazon for $37.98 (available in 11 colors).

The Tulip shade also comes with a ceiling mount, removable tape, and three screws (as needed for textured ceiling applications).

Tulip is a small business from Lori Smyth. Her inspiration? The drab lighting in a college dorm! Her innovative design requires no re-wiring, no power tools, no nothing! Check out the different styles and how easily they install via Tulip's TikTok.

BuzzFeed Editor Chelsea Stuart owns and loves it!:

"I just had a chance to try one of these, and I am simply OBSESSED. I live in NYC in a rental, and I have a really drab light in my kitchen that even an electrician couldn't get off of the ceiling without breaking... so I gave up on replacing it right after I moved in. Alas, fast forward a year, and I found Tulip on TikTok! Instantly, I thought 1. This is absolutely genius, and 2. How has no one come up with this before?!?!

Installing it (installing makes it seem way more involved than it is) took all of 10 minutes and that includes removing it from the box, Command Strip-ing the ring to the ceiling, and then popping the magnetic shade in place. (Honestly, the thing that took me the longest was fishing my step stool out of the depths of my junk closet.) Not only is the shade itself beautiful, but the diffused light is just so soft and pretty. I can't wait to get another one for my entryway!!!"

Promising review: "I have been searching for a paper lamp or replacement for my current apartment lights, but they either wouldn't fit or it would require too much effort that my landlord wouldn't appreciate. That's when I came across Tulip. I can't be more blunt than this — you literally Command Strip the ring to the ceiling, and the shade attaches via magnet... seriously ingenious." —Oliver O.

Get it from Tulip for $149 (also available in 10 other styles).

Promising review: "These medallions were much prettier than I expected and were super smooth for reception of paint. It took me a few days to decide the color placement and style, as they will be in rooms that are visible to one another. Pre-colored medallions are expensive; doing it myself saved me money I used to upgrade my chandeliers." —Cris

Get it from Amazon for $90.71+ (available in 43 colors).

Promising review: "Excellent product. Very easy to use. We were able to paint our front door with two coats and be finished all in one day. The product has a very thick consistency that doesn't cause it to drip, run, splatter, or ruin your paint brushes. And there is very little prep work and clean up." —Jay

Get it from Amazon for $31.20+ (available in 11 colors).

And BTW, the canopy is machine washable!

Promising review (canopy): "Ordered two panels in caramel/gold and I wish I ordered more because now they're out of stock in the size and color I need. They’re beautifully sheer and lightweight enough that they flutter in the breeze from the fan/ air conditioning, but aren’t blowing all over the place. They drape easily and I’m always finding new ways to style them on my canopy bed. Go ahead and order, but order enough, or you’ll be kicking yourself in bed, checking Amazon every other day for a restock." —Lana

Promising review (hanging kit): "I absolutely love it! I have a king bed, and I was wanting a canopy bed. This is a wonderful, affordable alternative. Easy to assemble, adjustable, and durable. The aesthetics are pleasing, the wood is raw, so you may want to paint it or keep it as such." —Bryan Griffin

Get both from Amazon: the set of canopy curtains for $33.95+ (available in four sizes and 16 color combos) and the hanging kit for $29.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. Construction seems sturdy. Dimensions and style were perfect for the small patio space I was looking to get use out of, and the egg shape of the chairs is very comfortable. I paired them with a seagrass outdoor rug, faux fur chair pads, a beanbag-style poof footstool, and some boho throw pillows, and I love how the space was instantly transformed. I highly recommend this set." —Baby blues

Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds, which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE! I was looking for something to brighten my apartment up and to make it feel bigger. I’m so, so, so glad I decided to go with these! I was so scared while opening them. I ordered four white 95-inch sets. I just threw them in the dryer for two to three minutes to de-wrinkle them and hung them. These are amazingly cheap for how nice they are! Definitely makes my apartment feel like HOME. I would recommend these to anyone." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $13.22+ (available in 16 sizes and 17 colors).

Promising reviews: "This is so beautiful! Perfect accent for any room!" —Marth Newcomb

"This decal looks great. I installed it by myself. While another set of hands could have been helpful, it's definitely doable for one person. The colors are so vibrant." —Rebecca Frazier

Get it from Mural Studio on Etsy for $4.80+ (originally $8+; available in five sizes and 10 color options).

Promising review: "I bought a TV stand which was too short to work with my wall-mounted TV. These 12” spindle legs were the PERFECT solution. You can see in the pictures how much better it looks. I ended up buying two sets (8 legs total) since the TV stand is 6’ long. They were easy to install. Five screw holes in each leg. I had to use shorter screws in some of the holes, but this thing is rock solid. Now it looks like a retro mid-century modern piece of furniture." —Matt Z

Get a set of four from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 18 sizes and five colors).

Includes four magnetic carriage-style gate hinges and two magnetic handles.

Promising review: "The photos are before and after. These took about 5 minutes to install. They look amazing. Neighbors thought we purchased new garage doors." —Shanna

These little lights are AAA battery-operated (not included, but you can grab some here).

Promising review: "Very pleased, these are the perfect size and brightness for stairs and for under cabinets. Light-sensitive too, so they don't come on and waste battery life if there's already enough light." —Kismet

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in warm white or white).

Promising review: "I used a little more than one roll for a quick makeover on an ugly fireplace in a rental apartment. It's easy to cover the tiles with the film. It makes a huge difference for minimal effort/price." —Zhen

Promising review: "BEAUTIFUL lamp, I'm so happy!! This lamp is so chic and has elevated my dining area. Looks like something from a high-end design magazine and looks much more expensive. It is BIG — I ordered the small size, and it easily commands the space. Be sure to measure. Easy to assemble... I am extremely happy/impressed with this lamp!" —Carrie

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising reviews: "Bought a house with canned lights everywhere. I wanted a few semi-flush pendants and chandeliers, so I tried this product. Very easy to install and works like a charm. " —PJG123

"It may take a bit of finessing and maybe an extra hole drilled here or there, but it will eventually do what it is supposed to do. I now have a surface-mounted light on my front porch instead of the can light the builder supplied. We turned a dark, ugly space into a wonderfully lit, beautiful space. We are amazed at the transformation this lighting change made to our home. Would do this again in a second." —T. Chapman

BTW, Poplight is a queer-owned small business and was recently featured on Shark Tank!

Promising review: "Completely obsessed... this totally is a lighting game changer! If you're like me and are constantly revamping your home and moving things around, well, this cute, rechargeable, 'no-wiring-needed' light is just the ticket. It took me all of 30 seconds to install, and the brightness settings on the app are perfect. I like that I can set a timer on the light so I don't accidentally leave it on. Mine came with an extra battery, so when the initial one needs to be recharged, I just swap it out. I actually think I'm going to need to buy another one." —Lauren

Get it from Amazon for $99 (available in eight colors).

If you've got hardwood floors, reviewers recommend anti-slip pads as well.

Promising reviews: "Very durable, good quality rug. It is used in a high-traffic area and has been washed on a couple of different occasions. Its shape, color, and textures have held up nicely. I would recommend using a nonslip pad underneath it if you plan to use on hard floors." —Brittany

"I’m impressed with the quality and softness of the rug. I was skeptical [because of the] reasonable price. So happy!" —Marjorie

Get it from Wayfair for $26.99+ (originally $75+; available in 10 sizes and in five colors).

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total, I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adelia

Promising review: "All we can say is WOW! These lights surpassed our expectations! You could buy other similar lights for a lower price, but these are high quality and worth what we paid. The material is heavy duty, great casing to handle weathering. A breeze to install, we had three lights done within an hour with no issues. The look is modern, clean. Would highly recommend!" —Ruth B.

Get it from Amazon for $45.11 each (available in black and white and two styles).

Inspire By Kelsey is a woman-owned small business based in Santa Cruz, California. They specialize in creating gorgeous, handmade macrame decor and tapestries.

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this wall hanging! I got the large size, and it’s perfect as a statement piece. It’s the focal point of my therapy office, and it creates such a warm, inviting, yet chic and modern feel in the room! I went back and forth on purchasing the large due to cost, but zero regrets—it was totally worth it! I adore it and know I’ll use it for years to come! It’s a piece of art that can be used for a variety of spaces. So many clients and friends have complimented my office decor and pointed out how much they like the wall hanging. :)" —Dianejgallo

"This is perfect for my wall. It is a high-traffic wall, and this sits very low profile. It is also very lightweight, so it hangs great on my lathe and plaster walls! I'm very happy. It was also great working with Kelsey, getting the color right, and getting shipping situated! I'm very happy with all of this!" —Brooke

Get it from Inspire By Kelsey on Etsy for $265+ (available in five sizes).

Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The showerhead has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in three sizes and four finishes).

Get a 15-pound bag from Amazon for $49.95.

Promising review: "Most of the [pull chain lights] I found were pretty plain until I saw this one — love the star design, and it happens to match my kitchen floor tiles. Light is decent quality and as described, and the pull chain is also surprisingly heavy weight and nice feeling! Can’t beat the price, too. Have been very pleasantly surprised with this Amazon home find!" —exceptionalsea
