Read More Prepare to swoon over these stained glass lightbulbs, this disco ball bar cart, and these sleek peel-and-stick subway tiles. As a shopping editor with over a decade of experience working in journalism and digital media, I cover everything from beauty and fashion to home, travel, gaming, and pets, and I'm constantly saving interesting products on TikTok (in *very* organized folders, mind you) to share with BuzzFeed readers. One of life's small joys is the ability to curate the look and feel of your home, from the decor and knickknacks you fill it up with to the furniture style you pick, and even the ways in which you can zhuzh up the walls, floors, and fixtures with a little DIY magic. If you're feeling the itch to up the ~aesthetic~ of your home as we head into the cozy fall season, these picks might do just the trick. The Boho Beach Bum is a woman-owned small business located in Ocean City, Maryland. Owner Melissa is an Etsy star-seller who creates gemstone jewelry, glass bead suncatchers, and wind chimes. Promising review: "It is absolutely gorgeous, and the seller is friendly and helpful. Five stars." —Sky Get it from The Boho Beach Bum on Etsy for $89.98 (available in three colors). Promising review: "Gorgeous rug — looks way more expensive than it is! This runner totally exceeded my expectations! The floral pattern is rich and vibrant, and the black background gives it a bold look. I placed it in my kitchen, and it instantly pulled the space together. The rubber backing keeps it from sliding, even on slick floors, and it's soft enough to stand on while cooking. Plus, it’s washable! That’s a huge bonus in high-traffic areas. I’d absolutely buy this again for a hallway or laundry room too." —Tammy Fun Art Class Get a 2x6 runner from Amazon for $24.99 (available in seven colors and 15 sizes, including rectangular or round shapes). Promising review: "I love these bulbs. They make any room all warm and cozy. Also a fantastic night-light for the little ones. :) Get you some!" —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $11.96+ (available in seven styles). The set includes a duvet cover and two matching pillow shams. Be sure to snag a duvet insert if you need one! Promising review: "OMG I love this duvet! It’s so freaking pretty! It’s a little bit larger than the comforters I use but that’s fine. Buy one, you will not be disappointed." —lupe Get the queen set from Amazon for $47.49 (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and 16 colors). It includes a halogen warming bulb, and even has a dimmer so you can adjust it to your desired brightness level. Get a closer look at it on TikTok (it looks super cute in a kitchen too)! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: "🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need)...I finally did it, and WOW am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift." Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in two colors). Promising review: "Perfect grunge addition. 🖤 Gorgeous. So cute!!!" —Christina Sohl Get it from Amazon for $64.97 (available in two colors). Check out an unboxing and get a closer look at it on TikTok! Of course, you could also position two of these side by side if you have the space. These feature interior shelves that can be adjusted or removed, depending on the type and size of shoes you want to store. The graphic on the listing shows what shoe sizes (by measurement) can be accommodated! Promising review: "Obsessed with this cabinet. The quality is great for the price, and it’s so stylish and doesn’t take up much space for the storage it provides! I added little hooks on the side to be able to hang dog leashes. The only con would be if you have large feet, you aren’t going to be able to fit as many pairs of shoes in. My size 10s fit just right, but my husband's shoes sometimes have to go sideways, so I can only fit 1–3 pairs in the bottom drawer. But still better than on the floor!" —Nancy Get it from Amazon for $112.99+ (available in three colors). Promising review: "I love this in my bathroom window. I had to order three of the 17-inch-wide rolls and piece them together. I was worried that the seams would be noticeable or difficult to work with, but it was fine. I peeled the entire film off the backing and installed it. I'm in love. I've been staring at it all day. I installed it on a cloudy, dreary day, and it's still breathtaking. I know once the direct sunlight hits it, it'll be even more awesome." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four sizes and designs). Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoid my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter’s toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won’t regret it." —Valentine Girl Get a pair from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in 11 styles). Watch an unpacking and styling video of the mirror on TikTok. You can lean it against a wall or mount it if needed! (BTW, this has a similar vibe as the famous Ultrafragola mirror for a whole lot less $$$.) Promising review: "I was nervous to buy this when it first came out but it arrived perfectly intact and is absolutely beautiful. The border is like a velvet suede and looks SO nice." —funkypisces Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I was worried that the quality would be poor based on the price — I was wrong. My husband thought this was a bad idea, so I agreed to remove it if he hated it. His initial response was that we could keep it. The next day he confessed he really liked it. Exceeded expectations." —Jamie D'Amato Get them from Amazon: the library style for $28.79, the iridescent style for $25.59, and see way more designs on their store page! Promising review: "I am forever in love with this! Very aesthetically pleasing!! Mirror hasn’t scratched and adds some *spice* to my perfume collection." —Morgan Newbanks Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors). Glam Globes is a UK-based Etsy shop that specializes in disco-ball-themed homewares. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer personally owns this beauty: "This is the best product I bought this year, actually! 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 $355.39 (available in eight colors). This style was made popular by Logitech, which released a cloud wrist rest as part of their gorgeous Aurora collection, but that one is often out of stock and only available to buy in bundles (FWIW I do have the full set with their keyboard and love it). This is a nice way to get the same look for cheap; plus, it comes in way more colors! Promising review: "When it comes to my desk setup, I’m all for aesthetics but also practicality. I genuinely need a wrist rest for my keyboard, and I’m super picky about the way they feel. This wrist rest is super squishy and AMAZING quality. It’s comfortable and super cute. I’m obsessed!" —Mel🤍 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 13 colors). Yaya & Co. is a small biz and ethical home decor brand based in Cleveland, Ohio. Promising review: "Super comfy! Colors are vibrant, and it makes working a little more enjoyable. Love all the Yaya products, but happy to see one that I can incorporate into work!! Smells like lavender, which is a great touch!" —Kalie Gardner See it on TikTok! It comes with four bulbs, so you can plug it in and enjoy its cozy glow right away. Promising review: "Yes, it’s plastic. And yes, it’s a reproduction, but it looks so much better in person, especially when it’s turned on. It gives off the perfect soft lighting. Mid-century modern look without the hefty price tag. It is expensive for plastic, but if you wanted to purchase a similar style lamp from that period, it would be much more $$$, and it comes with bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so I plugged mine into a plug with a battery-operated remote so I wouldn’t have to get behind my table to turn it on every time. Happy with purchase." —jacqueline l. gibson Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." —Max Ferg Promising review: "Nice, sturdy, cute little storage boxes that stack well. I used these boxes to organize my craft room cabinets and shelves." —Liz Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two set sizes and eight colorways). This isn't a digital download; they'll ship the actual poster to you unframed! A framed version is also available! Kinder Planet is a woman-led, UK-based small business offering all sorts of cute art (all hand-drawn, either traditionally or digitally). You can see this print and more of their unique creations on TikTok! Promising review: "This lil' guy is perfectly positioned in our bathroom. Couldn’t be happier. Paper quality was great and a fab addition to our home." —Riley Doodles Get it from Kinder Planet on Etsy for $21.18+ (available in 10 sizes and three colors), or $53.70+ for the framed version (available in seven sizes and three framed colors). Some reviewers compare this to the Hue LightStrip and prefer this option, considering it's a fraction of the price! I own the old version of this light (before this newer model released) and still absolutely love it. First of all, it's SOOO easy to put on the wall — it comes with these little adhesive plastic brackets that you just slide onto the rope and then press against the wall, and continue adding them as needed to support the shape you're making. The Govee app makes it so easy to program the lighting however I like, and it's upgraded my nighttime cozy vibes in a MAJOR way. Also, when I moved apartments and re-mounted my Govee rope light in a different shape on my new wall, it was just as easy as the first time (just be careful removing the adhesive brackets as it can rip paint off — this happened to me with one of them, but we patched it easily). I'll probably come back for this improved model eventually, which is made of even more flexible, softer materials and has improved lighting effects and upgraded bend clips. Plus, they now only offer this light in 9- and 16-foot lengths, which totally makes sense — mine is the old 6-foot version that they don't even sell anymore, probably because it's not quite long enough to make elaborate shapes with. You might not think you need that much length, but once you start creating waves and shapes on your wall, you'll realize it's very much needed to get the full effect! Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three lengths). Reviewers especially love this lamp for small spaces, since it doesn't take up valuable surface area! Promising review: "I love the way the light looks and the different colors, but honestly, I love the flexibility of the neck. I can manipulate it to fit the function of what I am doing. I have used it as a reading light and mood light by the bed. I had no problem reading my book at night. I have used it as a task light to do arts and crafts. More recently, I have used it at work, and it now has a permanent spot on my desk. The light was a great value for the money for me." —Terese Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "One of the best things I have purchased for my home office. This box is large enough to hold my large and wide power strip and all the cords plugged into it. I have a large monitor, a laptop, a docking station, two Dyson lamps, a pencil sharpener, and a couple of other electronics to plug in — everything looks organized and tidy now. I equally love the long fabric organizer that came with it — it tied up all the cords leading into the box for the perfect finishing touch. I love that it's real wood. So happy with this purchase!" —J. Davis Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in two colors and two sizes). Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised with the kit provided to build this, as well as the cabinet itself. It’s really sturdy but light, which is awesome for us apartment people who may move often. I actually really like that the fluted 'glass' is plastic as again it makes it lightweight and less likely to break. The magnets that hold the doors shut are strong. I’m using it for a little bar/liquor cabinet area. It’s super cute and blends in perfectly with my space. Happy with this purchase!" —Megan Himes Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available in five colors). These look even prettier layered behind sheer curtains, as shown above. Many reviewers say the cord is short, so you may want to pick up an extension cord if you don't already have one. Promising review: "I love these lights! The settings are so much fun and add excitement to a room when you have guests. The light is so warm and makes it feel so cozy inside! I love to turn off all of the other lights in my apartment and just have these lights going when I am watching a movie. It creates a great warm glow but isn't too bright to wash out the movie. They are also a fun background for pictures!" —J_Thill Get the string lights in warm white from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors and an RGB version). My colleague Karly Jacklin owns this gem and vouches for the quality: "I am in LOVE with this little mirror. It's beautiful and sturdy — but it looks delicate. AKA, it's the best of both worlds. It's not flimsy plastic like other handheld mirrors at this price point, and it looks gorgeous on my dresser!" Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 11 styles). It comes with a hanging chain! Check it out on TikTok (where you can see how the reviewer hangs it). There are a bunch of great Amazon reviewer pics too! It's a popular kitchen upgrade but would look beautiful in any window. Promising review: "I saw this stained glass window in a TikTok video and had to have it. It was in my cart two minutes later. It comes with hardware and installs easily. It added just the look I wanted. Very well made at a very good price. So pretty!" —Deal mama To apply, just unroll, position where you want it, sloooowly smooth it down with a credit card, and then trim the excess. Oh, and don't forget to wipe down the area you're covering first so it sticks. Promising review: "I absolutely loved this contact paper. It completely transformed my countertop. It was super easy to apply, and if I messed up, it was extremely easy to redeem myself. I did this alone with no help, and I’m pretty proud of the outcome. Took me about 30 min to complete it. I used the whole roll of the smallest option, and it was enough for me. Super awesome, and I will be buying more of this contact paper soon when I transform another room in my home! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!" —Mariah Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 13 sizes and four colors). Peep this gorgeous book vase on TikTok! I also highly recommend looking through the Amazon review images because every single one looks like it belongs in a magazine. Promising review: "I love all things books — so when this popped up in my feed, I had to have it. I ordered it ASAP. It arrived ASAP. I bought tulips ASAP. And it's PERFECT! This is the latest addition to my home office and I love staring at it! 😄 Save time — buy at least two!" —ED Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five transparent colors). Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy. Obsessed — these look so cute and real, I couldn't recommend them more! A must-have :)" —Sydney "They look real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and are shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S. Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in dozens of colors). If you want to replicate a similar look as the reviewer above, you can find gold metal sun mirrors on Amazon! Promising review: "So cute! A TikToker I follow had one in her room, and I wanted one, so I ordered this. It's surprisingly heavy-duty for the price — it's clearly good quality. It was easy to hang up, and I love how it looks in my room! The phases were individually wrapped to keep them nice, which I appreciated. This would make a great gift, and it's worth the cost!" —Catherine Enters Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes). Note: According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review: "It's more than just a diffuser; it's pure magic in a compact package. 🪩 The disco ball adds a touch of glamour to my space that I never knew I needed. The quality is outstanding — it feels solid and well-made. Setting it up was a breeze. Watching the light dance across the room, reflecting off the disco ball, is incredibly soothing and mesmerizing. The mist it emits is so refreshing! Plus, it runs whisper-quiet, so it doesn't disrupt my peace and tranquility. But the best part? It's not just a diffuser; it's an experience. My friends and family are obsessed with it, and I've even had a few impromptu dance parties because of it! It's turned my patio into a disco paradise. ✨🌈💃" —Fern's Jungle Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in two sizes and five colors). Promising review: "Love this coffee table. I was looking for one that was sturdy and safe for children. If you love modern or pop art decor, this is great! Cleans up like a dream!" —wendy Get it from Amazon for $179+ (available in two sizes and two colors). Promising review: "This shower curtain is well made and design is beautiful! It makes me extremely happy every time I see it and instantly brightens my day!" —EB Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 13 colors and seven sizes). Sleek Socket is a small biz focused on sleek power outlet solutions for the home! Promising review: "I saw this while randomly swiping through TikTok one day. As soon as I saw it, I immediately went to Amazon to find it. We have an electric fireplace that is centered on our wall. Unfortunately, the plug/outlet is not (about 1 foot over). It has driven my wife and me wild that there was a plug strung along the wall. This took seconds to install. Love it!" —Alex Soper Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in three lengths, with single or dual cords, and for standard or inverted outlets). Promising review: "I’m a huge fan of these tiles! Used them in my kitchen as a placeholder while I save up for real tiles. I will say, I don’t feel the urgency to get real tiles since these fool people pretty well. No one realizes they are sticky tiles until I tell them. Basically, peeling the sticker off the back was the hardest part of the whole process. I had to remove some tiles that had been installed a year ago, and it came off without taking up the wall; just make sure to heat it up really well with a blow-dryer. Perfect for renters or if you just want an easy/affordable DIY to update your space." —Jessasmall Get 10 sheets from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors). *Especially* if there are certain ingredients you like to leave out on the counter (like coffee and sugar), this keeps them close at hand while maintaining a nice aesthetic! Promising review: "I recently upgraded my kitchen storage game with these fabulous glass containers with bamboo lids, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. These containers have not only elevated the aesthetics of my pantry, but also contributed to my sustainability efforts. I am pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the glass, as well as the tightly sealed lids." —Caroline Get the seven-pack from Amazon for $20.69. Quart and Pint is a Utah-based small biz on Etsy that sells high-quality vinyl labels that are water- and oil-resistant! They're pre-printed and sold in packs. Check out their store page to see the current offering of spice and pantry label designs! Promising review: "The labels are perfect for the look I wanted to achieve in my kitchen and very good quality!" —Jill McQuillen Get a set of 134 minimalist black pantry labels from Quart and Pint on Etsy for $20.95. The Wine Savant is a small biz founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 2017 that's on a mission to provide drink lovers with distinctive and quality glassware. Promising review: "My boyfriend got these for me for my birthday and I am obsessed with them. The only wineglasses we use! The colors absolutely mesmerized us both when I opened the package...felt like we were looking at a rainbow. They are beautiful to say the least." —bai Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.95 (available in 12 colored sets). The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless, so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation yourself. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. A tip from my colleague Chelsea Stuart: "If you're going for an antique look but don't have the budget to buy vintage, I saw a TikToker DIY these with some gold Rub 'n Buff metallic finish and an old makeup brush, and it looked truly incredible!" Promising review: "For the price, you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over, and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors, two sizes, and a few different rechargeable styles). You'll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle. Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz that sells cleaning products boasting cleaning products with safe and readable ingredient lists in the loveliest scents. Promising review: "I’ve tried almost a dozen stainless steel products to try to clean our oven vent, and nothing has worked as well and as effortlessly as this. I was hesitant because of the higher price point, but a little goes a long way, and it requires very little elbow grease to get the job done. My vent range hasn’t looked like this since we bought our home. There is no residue, a light scent, and most importantly, a clean surface. Stainless steel is finicky, but this takes away the complication." —Francisco Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in packs). Promising review: "I am extremely satisfied with these nursery floating shelves. The quality is outstanding. They are made of sturdy materials that can firmly hold all kinds of baby items. The design is not only stylish but also very practical. Installation was a breeze, and they fit perfectly in the nursery. They have added so much storage space and charm to the room. I highly recommend them to any parent looking to decorate and organize their nursery. Five stars without a doubt!" —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in four sizes and five colors). Promising review: "Excellent quality, very sturdy, thick amber glass...not cheap hardware! Love it! I put my toothpaste and mouthwash in them. TikTok made me do it! 😆" —WeeZie Promising review: "Spent ages trying to find a good acrylic clear stand that would also hold records, look good, AND be sturdy. Bought this thinking it might be a temporary solution, but it’s spot on! Records fit perfectly at the bottom, and Rega turntable on top. Acrylic is thick and clear. Love that it doesn’t take up visual room and just fits seamlessly." —Marianne Cantwell Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors). The set of two also comes with two gold spoons to match. 🥺 Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors and sets with matching lids or saucers). Promising reviews: "I am literally obsessed!! I saw this in a TikTok video and the reality is even better." —Sev Luke "It just makes my morning a bit brighter to drink out of something so cute! Love that I can also throw it in the dishwasher to clean. The 'organic' shape also makes it pretty comfy to hold, and the curve of the cup wall at the top makes it cozy to drink from. Love it!" —katie Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in seven styles). It comes *loaded* with options, with dual-projection lenses that can create 33 light effects, with five levels of brightness and flow speed. It also has eight white noise options and serves as a Bluetooth speaker too! Promising review: "We use it to sleep with at night, as a background light for our dance videos, or simply on dark, cloudy days. It brilliantly illuminates the room, and the colors are vibrant and playful. I appreciate the variety of options it offers, including numerous patterns and glow lights. It's truly fantastic!" —Sharanpreet Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and a "jet black" style with a spiral projection). * Knick-Knacks And Trinkets For Anyone Who Just Loves To Fill Their Home With Fun Things * If You Googled “Stunning”, These 30 Decor Items Would Be At The Top Of The List * Pieces Of Home Decor For When You're Tired Of Living In A Boring Space * Interesting Pieces Of Decor You’ll Enjoy Looking At For *Years*, So They’re Worth Every Penny * Home Decor Pieces That’ll Make You Fall In Love With Your Space Again Plus, finds from All Modern, Amazon, Anthropologie, Article, Ikea, Target, Walmart, and Wayfair.
