I'm Super Bougie & I'm Loving These Cheap Things That Make My Home Way Nicer
These give your home a glow-up and keep your wallet happy.

My rent may cost two arms and legs, but it’s come with a silver lining: I’ve become a total pro when it comes to making my home look nicer using cheap, bougie things. So if you’re in need of fab-yet-affordable decor, you’re in the right place, as I’ve stocked this list with some of my favorite finds. From stylish storage to sleek tech, there’s a bougie little something here for everyone.
1This Foaming Soap Dispenser That Looks *Way* Pricier Than It Is
Consider this dispenser a bougie AF upgrade from the plastic bottles your liquid soaps likely come in. The embossed exterior gives it an upscale look despite its more-than-reasonable price — and since the pump works your soap up into a rich foam, it can even help a little go a long way. Choose from four colors: clear, blue, pink, or green.
2A Cute & Compact Power Strip With 6 Outlets & Ports
Whereas some power strips can take up a ton of space, this one features a compact, square design that makes it great for cluttered desks, nightstands, and everywhere in between. It features two outlets as well as four charging ports: two USB and two type-C. Plus, the 5-foot power cable makes it easy to use with distant outlets.
3The Stylish LED Lamp That Doubles As A Lantern
This streamlined brass handle looks sleek, but also means carrying this LED lamp around is no trouble at all. The compact base takes up hardly any space no matter where you decide to put it down — and the battery delivers hours’ worth of light before it needs to be recharged. “The light is just the right brightness to light up our tent or table,” wrote one reviewer. “A charge lasts about 10 to 12 hours.”
4This Sleek Silicone Cover That Helps Protect Electric Stoves
I’m a huge fan when it comes to this cover, and not just because I once broke a glass stovetop by dropping a mug on it. The durable silicone material is designed to help protect your stove from scratches, spills, dirt, as well as everything in between. And since it’s heat-resistant up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, there’s no need to worry about it melting if your stove is still warm when you place it on top.
5A Slim, Space-Saving Toaster That Looks So Fancy
Don’t have a ton of counter space to work with? Not a problem when you have this toaster. Its ultra-slim design takes up hardly any space — but while slim, don’t be fooled. It still boasts a variety of handy features, including a knob on front that lets you adjust how brown your bread comes out, as well as a removable crumb tray built into the base.
6The Easy-To-Use Kit That Turns Mirrors Into Hollywood-Style Vanities
Doing your makeup in poor lighting can easily lead to unwanted results. Luckily, this vanity mirror kit is an easy fix. Each bulb is backed with sticky adhesive that lets you press them right into place on your mirror, transforming it into a Hollywood-style vanity that showers you in gorgeous light. But if that isn’t enough? You can also switch the lights between three different temperatures: warm, natural, or cool.
7Sturdy Wood Cutting Boards That Make Pretty Serving Platters
Professional and home chefs alike can appreciate these bamboo cutting boards. Shallow grooves running along the edges help keep juices from spilling onto your counters, while handles on either side give you somewhere to grip whether carrying them to your stovetop or presenting snacks at a party. Choose from two finishes: brown or natural bamboo.
8An IG-Ready Spice Rack That Slides Into A Drawer
Anyone with limited cabinet or counter space in their kitchen can appreciate this spice rack. It comes in a variety of sizes to fit inside nearly any drawer — and each order comes with 28 empty spice jars as well as a set of stylish labels to get you started. But if that isn’t enough? Since the frame is built from steel, you can rest assured that it’s made to last.
9Cleansing Tablets That Help Eliminate Funky Odors From Your Washing Machine
Got a funky odor coming from your washing machine? Then these tablets are worth a look. Simply send one through a standard wash cycle, and the tablet’s cleansing formula will work to eliminate the odor-causing bacteria that can lurk inside your washer’s barrel, pipes, and more. “It takes all of the odors and gunk out of the places you cannot see,” wrote one reviewer. “Pays for itself ten times over in savings from using more detergent and maintenance issues.”
10Sumptuous Satin Pillowcases For A Wildly Low Price
Leveling up your bedroom is as easy as swapping out your pillowcases with these satin ones. The ultra-smooth material looks luxe and creates less friction against hair when compared to cotton, which can help smooth away frizz simply by sleeping on them. And with dozens of colors to choose from, matching them to your current sheets should be no trouble at all.
11The Shoe Washing Bag That Protects Your Kicks & Your Machine
The worst part about washing your shoes is having to listen to that annoying clunk sound as they tumble around in your dryer. Enter: this bag. More than 10,000 chenille fibers on the inside not only help scrub away dirt as your shoes spin through the wash, but they also cushion the impact when your shoes hit the side of your dryer, making the drying process much quieter.

14The Wall Charger With 2 Ports & An Ultra-Slim Profile
