I’m cursed with a designer eye. I have fancy taste on a not-so-fancy budget. But after a little hunting, I’ve been able to fill my home with the design trends I love without emptying my bank account. My secret? Amazon. The online superstore has plenty of hidden gems that seem expensive but really aren’t. I’ve made a list of the best finds for your budget so you too can decorate the home of your dreams without any buyer’s remorse. Check out these 48 bougie things for your home that are actually bargains.
An easy way to upgrade your home is to find more aesthetic ways to store those practical things you need for everyday life. For example, I’ve included a high-tech, stainless steel trash can that has built-in odor control to keep your kitchen smelling fresh and looking modern. I’ve also added a mirror that has a handy 10x magnifying side for applying makeup, and unlike other round mirrors, this one is wrapped in beautiful bamboo. You’ll find a pretty essential oil diffuser and a spice carousel to organize your countertops. These practical products are made pretty for a shocking price.
Another way to achieve that bougie look on a budget is to find DIY alternatives to spruce up your existing home. I’ve included a peel-and-stick paper that looks like real marble so can cover your countertops for a high-end look that won’t cost you a fortune. Check out the velvet pillow cover set I added that’s so affordable you’ll have the flexibility to switch up your accent pillows for every season.
All of these products come highly rated from thousands of reviewers who have bought and tested them out in their homes. By the end of this list, you’ll be ready to jump on the bargain bandwagon.
