You just have to add the photos! (Oh, and multiple reviewers say they're definitely light enough to hang with Command Picture Hanging Strips, if that's more your style.) Promising review: "Great quality. I'm in love with these frames! Pictures do not do them justice. I'm so glad I found these. They're so affordable and elegant looking that I purchased another set to separate in threes and place around the house. They all came in great shape, and the installation was simple. The template it comes with is super helpful. If you're debating, purchase them. You won't be disappointed." —Jennifer Zuniga Get the pictured pack of 9 frames from Amazon for $59.99+ (about $6.67 per frame; available in two sizes and eight colors). You get eight frames and art work in a variety of sizes in this set. Promising review: "These photos are so nice and great quality for the price. My family room needed a little changing, and these photos were awesome! I also love that the seller provides a sheet of different ways to hang the photos." —Critic Get it from Amazon for $43.69+ (available in two sizes and five styles). No electrician required, thanks to those plugs. This set is designed so you can easily add or take off however many lights you need, depending on how long your counter is. Use a Command Strip to put the remote control's included bracket on the wall or side of the fridge (or wherever makes sense to you), and you can use it like a light switch to easily turn them on and off! Promising review: "These puck lights are awesome and look great in my kitchen! They're plenty bright. I did warm white and it's perfect. I ran most wiring through the cabinets since I did below and above the cabinets, but it wasn't difficult. I did have to run one wire across the top of the backsplash tile, but it's not noticeable now that I secured it better. Highly recommend!" —cls Get it from Amazon for $38.21+ (available in warm white or daylight white). Each tile is 12" X 12", and it's waterproof and heat-resistant! You'll also need a utility knife to cut the pieces as needed. Promising review: "I put this up in my laundry room. It was easy to work with and install. Made a huge difference for very little money. We are very pleased and would recommend." —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $30.55+ for 10 sheets (available in three colors). If you like the idea of furniture transfers but these aren't quite up your alley, the Redesign with Prima store page has many, many options! Promising review: "These transfers literally become a part of the surface they're applied to. They're easy to apply and stay on without ever peeling off. Have had them on a nightstand for about two years and they still look perfect." —CraftCrumbs Get them from Amazon: the design used on the dresser for $43.99 or the design used on the lampshade for $14.99. Promising review: "My 3-year-old recently decided to channel his inner Van Gogh on our stairwell wall, and red crayon was EVERYWHERE. I tried every possible cleaning solution, and nothing was getting it off. I heard about the Pink Stuff on TikTok and decided it was worth a shot. This stuff is a miracle worker! With a sponge and some elbow grease, I was able to remove all the crayon within 10 minutes. There’s absolutely no trace of the crayon left, and it didn’t ruin my paint! One thing to note — it seems to work better on certain colors than others. I recently used it to try and remove blue crayon from our white art table, and while it got most of the blue off, there’s definitely still a faint stain where the crayon used to be. But hey, it’s worlds better than before!" —Casey Blaine Promising review: "I’m so in love with this paper! My husband was set against it and wanted me to paint our ’90s teal countertop. I had given in, but threw a section of this paper on just to show him. By the end of the day, he loved it, so I ordered more. My application was not perfect, but you can’t tell unless you are up close. I used a sewing needle to get rid of bubbles for a smooth surface. Just the tiniest hole to get the air out. I suggest using smaller sections at a time and reverse rolling before taking off the backing to prevent the curling. I purchased extra rolls in case any portion of it gets ruined, I can just peel it up and put down a new section." —GMM Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in nine sizes and three colors). Promising review: "I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." —LMK Get it from Amazon for $23.98 (available in two sizes and four colors). Just a note that some reviewers recommend getting your own screws instead of using the ones included. Promising review: "These are fabulous, and totally changed the look of my kitchen! The price was also great too, as I needed 35, and had to buy to lots, one 25 and one 10, and the total was around $80 for all of them. Which equals out to less than $2 apiece. You can't buy ones of this quality for that price locally. These are heavy, and easy to install." —Debbie Sterrett Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in four colors and also in various sizes). Promising review: "I thought the world had ended!! RED WINE SPILLED ON AN ORIENTAL CARPET!!! The cream fringe took the brunt of the spill. The first thing I did was put white wine on it…after all isn’t that what you have heard and read? That white wine will remove red wine from whatever. Didn’t work for me. Rush to Amazon…what to do….what to do? I found several products that sounded promising. I read the reviews. So glad that this is what I chose! Worked like a dream. When it arrived the stain had been set for four days, and following the directions on the bottle, the stain instantly started to disappear. My cream-colored fringe was back. Amazing!!! My carpet is back to its beautiful self. Am I happy? So happy words can’t convey." —Pat Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in multipacks). Promising review: "These are amazing soap dispensers. The amber glass is sturdy and strong, and the pump works great. They're easy to fill and they look so good on your bathroom or kitchen countertop. Highly recommend!" —Emily Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three different pump colors). Promising review: "This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds a lot more water than you would think by the size. I also love the cap that comes on the end of the spout — a great way to avoid spills!! Appreciate the pretty mister that comes with it, too. Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." —MC Phillips Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors). Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one, and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods from Amazon Handmade for $39. Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors). Plus, it comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth! Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business based in New Hampshire making plant-based cleaning products for the home. My former colleague Brittany Ross says, "I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too." Promising review: "Since I am home much more often than I used to be, I've been exploring more deep cleaning around my house. My stainless steel appliances always seem to have streaks, and other products I use clean it, but generally will leave streaks or some remaining residue. I bought this product due to the good reviews, and I'm very happy I did. The cleaner has removed stains that have been on my appliances for years, and they look like new. I am extremely happy with my purchase." —Diti Mont The tiles are water-resistant and washable. To apply, just peel the backing and stick to a clean floor. You don't need any special tools or even grout. Promising review: "I've only had these on my bathroom floor for a month or so, but they seem like they'll hold up. They were a bit of a pain in the ass to cut, but I didn't have the best tools or patience. The price is bananas for how good these look! They really transformed the room for cheap." —Jenascia Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wine glasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fits the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom Get it from Amazon for $17.91+ (available in three sizes and four colors). Promising review: "Products by Simplehuman are like the Lamborghinis of the kitchen. Their functionality, ease of install, and years of use you’ll get is worth the spend. I installed mine at an angle so the cabinet door wouldn’t bang into it. My dimensions were spot on, not leaving lots of wiggle room. Word of caution: The liners that Amazon recommends as an add-on are 'D.' But the main garbage can is 'G' and your recycling is 'D.' The recycling liners should be blue, which at the end of the day isn’t a big deal, but I would’ve preferred having the corresponding color with the liner." —Monica Lafuente Get it from Amazon for $99.98 (available in two sizes and also in another style). Poppy & Pour is a California-based small business that has been creating custom flower coasters, keychains, and more since 2020. Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! It's hard to get a good photo of resin without reflections or light so trust me when I say this is even more beautiful in person! Seller gave me exactly what I requested and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Highly highly recommended!" —nlivnil Get it from Poppy & Pour on Etsy for $14+ (available with or without a gold rim). Plus, it has two USB outlets, which means you can use it to charge your phone (and Airpods) while you sleep. Promising review: "This is a pretty basic alarm clock, but the mirror finish and large blue display give this a very modern look. Brightness is adjustable and controls are fairly simple. Blue is a deep vibrant shade and looks awesome against the mirror finish." —J. Pennington Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in four colors). The battery-operated model does need two AA batteries to work! Promising reviews: "This is amazing!!! I have a chair that when my cats were kittens, they shredded. It was brand new, and they destroyed it within 6 months. I live alone, and no one ever comes over, so I just deal with the chair with dreams of reupholstering it someday. I've seen articles for defusers but never used one and always thought they were for sweaters or things that have just balled up, not that they had entire threads ripped out. A few days ago I saw someone's review for this one, used on loose threads, so I immediately bought it. It arrived today, and I used scissors to trim the threads. It was so easy to use and did an amazing job! I spent probably 90 minutes total doing my entire oversized chair and then spot cleaned it. It looks brand new! I have my awesome chair back! I almost donated this chair a hundred times over the last four years but didn't want to part with it. Now I'm so glad I didn't. $12 and less than two hours of my time, and my favorite chair is restored. I'm so happy!!" —StormyMorning Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors) And checkout one BuzzFeed writer's full Conair fabric defuzzer review here! Promising review: "I was a little nervous to purchase this as a gift for someone because it's glass, and I was worried it would arrive broken. However, it was very well packaged and came in perfect condition. It is a really beautiful decanter and anybody that is a wine drinker would love to have this. I am so glad that I decided to purchase. It is larger than I thought it was going to be as well, which is always a nice surprise." —Kaila Knies Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (be sure to clip the coupon to get it for $35.14). Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B Get it from Amazon for $23.19+ (available in three styles/colors). PLUS: This also makes sure that your air-conditioning and heat doesn't escape under your doors, thus saving you energy and money! Promising review: "This product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Revueltas Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in four colors and two lengths). Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for hiding a cord! It looks like it is just a part of the base board. Mine is covering a cable wire only, but I think they are big enough to hide more than one cord if needed. I didn’t cut mine, and I bought two. You can tell where the two meet if you look closely. However, I do not think anyone would notice. I can’t believe I let our cable cord sit across the floor for this long. I wish I would have found these sooner!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors). This product SAVED MY SHOES! I had an awkward set of built-in shelves in the closet of my old apartment, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes. Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in a 20- or 40-pack). Promising review: "I finally invested in blackout curtains for my room and my kids' room, and now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! These curtains do exactly what they are supposed to do. My kids are early risers, usually getting up when the sun comes up. Today, I was able to sleep until 9:30 because they were still in bed! I woke up not even knowing what time it was because my room was still so dark, haha! These especially made a huge difference in my room, which faces the side of the house where the sun rises. These curtains are silky, which I wasn’t expecting, but they give a sleek appearance. I highly recommend this brand." —Key Monique Get it from Amazon for $19.49+ (available in a variety of sizes and colors). Promising review: "I was looking for something that would match up my abstract aesthetic and pastel colors. It really adds more personality to my room! It was easy to stick — probably spent 15 minutes trying to decide the best arrangements. I would 100% recommend." —Sofia Camarillo Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six styles). Promising review: "This was very easy to install to hide all the messy wires. This is life-changing to create a nice, sleek space." —Martha Ashley Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in two styles, three sizes, and three configurations). Promising review: "I am chronically cold and have a bunch of very nice knit cardigans. I usually end up leaving them laying over chair backs or recliners and cluttering things up, so I bought these to have a good place to hang them. The thick wood prevents stretching damage from the weight of the sweaters, and not using a hook prevents damage and holes in the knit. Definitely worth the upgrade." —Lynn M Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two finishes). You get a set of 100 stickers made to fit all sorts of electronics, so you can find the ones that will work perfectly for you. Promising review: "Ingenious little idea. I suffer from migraines, so I know how a little LED light can irritate you in an otherwise pitch-black room. This product does a great job of dimming those harsh LED indicators that EVERYTHING seems to have nowadays. They are neat, not unsightly." —Jarom A. Daszko Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $4.49. Ewart Woods is a small business based in Latvia that creates handmade storage and organization solutions meant to blend right into your home decor. Promising review: "Really simple but effective. Would recommend for small bathrooms in need of storage. Like a piece of art. Thanks again!" —Noelle Get it from Ewart Woods on Etsy for $102.12+ (available in four colors and two 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 Get it from Amazon for $31.94+ (available in seven sizes and five colors). Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it you can’t help but wonder you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner, that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in 22 colors). * Clever Ways To Hide All The Eyesores In Your Home You’ve Been Glaring At For Ages * Your Bedroom Is Your Sanctuary — Treat It Like That With These 31 Products * Inexpensive Tweaks You Can Make To Your Home For Under $10 A Pop * Products That'll Make Your Friends Think, "Wow, Your Place Looks *So* Nice" * Things To Make Your House Smell Amazing 24/7 * Products That’ll Help You Automate Your Home Beyond Clapping To Turn On Your Lights * These 31 "Dream House" Products Are Surprisingly Affordable * Things That’ll Improve Your Kitchen So Much You’ll Think You Entered The Twilight Zone * Little DIY Projects That'll Go A Loooooong Way In Your Home * Products That’ll Help Revive All The Things In Your Home That Are Currently On The Chopping Block Plus, options for your WFH space, and finds from Anthropologie, Etsy, Ikea, Urban Outfitters, Walmart, and Wayfair.
