by Sally ElshorafaBuzzFeed Staff, by Ciera VelardeBuzzFeed Staff1. A "flaming" humidifierto get you through those cooler nights. Instead of a real fire, it useslight and mist to create a flame-like effect. Put a few drops of your favorite essential oil in it to make every breath a blissful escape.
Promising review: "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." —Benny
Get it from Amazon for$29.99(available in black or white).
2. A cabinet with an intricate front that'll create a focal point in whatever room you put it in. Most folks use it in their entryway or dining room, but I can see it in a living room or even bathroom if you need extra storage.
3. A set of threeflameless flickering candlesif you want to light up your life, minus the risk of burning it down.You control these with a remote, so you have the freedom to place them somewhere that would otherwise be difficult to reach. There are different light modes and you can adjust the brightness levels.
Check out a TikTok of the flameless candlesin action.
Promising review: "I bought the gold glass candle set. It's almost iridescent gold and looks very elegant. The flame actually moves back and forth. I have mine set to come on in the evening and go off after four hours. The remote allows you to control the brightness of the candle, set a timer for auto on and off, and you can control how bright you want the actual candle inside the glass. I love them and plan to buy the gray glass set for my bedroom. Buy them, you will love them!" —Tammy B.
Get them from Amazon for $20.99.
4. Or acandle lamp warmerif you're obsessed with the scent of a certain candle but not with the idea of actually lighting it. This way you can enjoy the scent of your favorite candle but not worry about an actual open flame.
Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer.
Promising review: "This was perfect for my wife and me. She especially loves to have the scent of candles throughout the day, but because of our pets, we can't have lit candles. We tried this with both a jar candle and a glass bowl with some wax melts, and it worked perfectly for both. One of my wife's favorite features is the on/off switch on the cord, rather than having an ugly button or knob on the lamp/light itself. It's really a statement piece, like a desk lamp with a pretty wooden base. Overall, it works well for what it is and is well worth the money." —Scott Rarden
Get it from Amazon for$39.99+(available in three materials and eight colors).
5. Avintage-inspired patchwork quiltthat combines the charm of yesteryear with the snuggability of today. The pattern is floral but the colors are fall-ish, which makes this blanket perfect all year round.
6. A customizable storage "book shelf"to hide all the ugly but necessary messes (I'm talking about you, electrical cord nest) that reside on the top of your cabinet. Now, instead of having your modem, cords, or other visual bummers on display, it'll look like you have an impressive collection of super cool books.

Get it fromAmazon Handmade for $29+ (available in 19 colors/combinations and 14 lengths from 3 inches to 29 inches).
7. Asunrise alarm clockif you want to be woken up by the rising of the sun, but don't necessarily have the option to. It increases from 10% brightness to 100% in 30 minutes before the alarm goes off.
Promising review: "OK guys. Here’s the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TL;DR: This is an amazing little product, and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago, and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 has changed my life and I’ve only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you, Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting while I’m journaling, reading, watching TV, anything really! I would pay two or three times the price for this thing. It’s 100% worth it." —KatieM
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in three colors).
8. A disco ball planter, because who needs a nightclub when you've got this instead? Every day will be club night when the light hits it.
Amazon
Promising review: "OMG I didn’t even know how much I needed this in my life until I unboxed it and had it in my hands. This planter is BEAUTIFUL. It is of high quality and it is clear it is made with care— from the packaging it comes in along with the little note to the individually glued *glass* mirrors. I literally gasped when I took it out of the box I was so taken aback by its fabulousness. It is the perfect size — it’s small enough to hang without taking over your space and turning it into a club but large enough to make an impact. I love this so much. This would also make a terrific gift for the party/dance/fun person in your life!" —Jille Eikenberry

Promising review: "It took me forever to find a good mat, and I’m so happy I found this one! The color and pattern are nice. It’s comfy to stand on while I’m prepping and cooking; it’s definitely reduced my fatigue and knee pain by a ton. Firm but cushiony. ... It’s really easy to clean, and looks great still after a few months of use! We have a very active kitchen, and it’s been through a lot so far, and survived unscathed, so I’m looking forward to a long life from it. I’ll probably buy a longer one to go on the other side of the kitchen!" —Cora Baker
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and 15 colors/patterns).
11. Some blackout velvet curtainsthat are the interior design equivalent of a do-not-disturb sign. There are 25 colors to choose from, which means no matter your home's color palette there's surely one that'll compliment it.
Promising review: "These curtains are beautiful! They’re even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch plus the emerald color looks so elegant.

They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms.

16. Avelvet ottomanthat truly does it all. Is it an ottoman? Yes. Does it have storage? Check. Can you flip over the lid to create a small tabletop? Also yes!!
Amazon, Emma Lord / BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed Shopping writerEmma Lord says: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in, and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute. (And it comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another.)
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+(available in two sizes and four colors).
17. A double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet setthat's so cozy you'll start questioning if you're actually human or just a very sophisticated bear preparing for hibernation.
Amazon
One side is faux-fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.
Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you— if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK
Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin, Queen, and King and 34 colors).
18. A floating bookshelfto show off your favorite books. Sure, you couldkeep them in rows on a bookshelf, but why do that when you can display them like this instead?
Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere
Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in two sizes, two colors and in sets of one or three).

Get it fromTwoPupsPottery on Etsy for $24 (available in 10 colors).
20. A set of peel-and-stick floor tilesto give your ugly old floors a major upgrade. Instead of breaking the bank installing new tiles (which is just not an option for those of us who rent), lay these down instead. When it's time to move you simply peel them off. It's really that easy.
Promising review: "These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we build a house. We wanted to do a little updating but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self adhesive flooring and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great and it's been a few weeks and we've had no issues. I love the texture and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" —Heather Wine

21. A colorful area rugif you need something to tie your room together. Laying a large rug down will also help damper sounds and prevent damage to your floor.
Promising review: "Quite simply, I am in love with this rug. This is one of those rare instances in which the product looks way better in real life than it does in the online photos. The colors are beautiful — warm and soft at the same time. For such a flat rug, it's got a luxurious, cushy feel to it. And there was absolutely no shedding whatsoever after I unfurled it. Fantastic rug at an incredibly reasonable price. I am delighted." —Adam J. Sank
Get it from Amazon for $35.04+ (available in 28 sizes and four patterns).
22. An arched mirror, because it's the trendiest shape right now for a reason: it looks so freakin' cool! You can mount it to the wall, but a lot of folks just lean one up against a wall. That way you don't damage the wall and you can move it around as you see fit.
Promising review: "These are beautiful and worth the money. They came well packaged and undamaged. It’s the perfect look for our remodeled bathroom. If you’re considering ordering them, do it. You won’t regret it. Also, the color isn’t a bold gold but not bronze gold either… matte gold if I had to describe it. It matched our fixtures perfectly." —Anoyek H.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five sizes and either black or gold).
23. A fun, abstract handmade ceramic vasethat'll be as visually stunning as whatever bouquet you keep in it. And hey, it's so cool looking that when it's not in use you won't need to hide it away in a cabinet. Just display it somewhere fun.

They are the small fairy lights so they don’t get too hot; they have different settings and they are easy to install. We bought two sets to create this look and even had a few extra stands that we just kept tied up in the corner." —Clark Imaginations, LLC

Promising review: "I searched for weeks before deciding on this particular bathroom storage unit. I wanted a cabinet on the top with doors. I love that the panels in the door are actual glass and not plastic like some others. I put this together myself, and it was very easy! It took me a couple of hours, but I took my time to ensure I put everything together correctly. The instructions were easy to understand, and everything went together quiet smoothly.

Promising review: "I have a weird skinny window in my house where no normal window covering works. People walking on our community trail can see up into our upstairs bathroom when the light is on and it's dark outside. Not a good plan at all. So I used this window film and cut different-sized circles and placed then on this window to interrupt the view into the house. Worked perfectly! Very easy to use." —Marsgard

Promising review: "Love this light fixture! I have it in my kitchen. Really adds to the boho vibe. If you have a handyman around I'm sure they could install it. My husband did it in about an hour or so. Beware: It is rather large and in charge, but beautiful! May not suit a small area. In addition, the light bulbs it comes with are not dimmable so you may want to purchase three of those if you need it to dim. Very happy with the purchase overall!" —Sierra
