Life is in the details, and choosing the right home accessories that are aesthetically pleasing and make sense for the size of your space is a joyful, yet time-consuming task. When you think of switching up your decor or adding luxurious touches to your home, Amazon probably isn't the first retailer you think of — but in fact, it's full of clever, well-designed things that make your home look way more stylish, usually at affordable price points, too. Take the 36 products on this list, for example, which all ring up at $60 or, in most cases, way less.

Many of these stylish home items are just as functional as they are easy on the eyes. Some offer sleek storage solutions, save you time, or up your home technology's capabilities. Others will make your space feel cozier and more relaxing, with the right lighting or some aromatherapy. Whatever their features, these products aim to improve the quality of the time you spend at home, without taking away from its aesthetic.

A space that reflects your style while meeting your needs is the best place to call home, and these 36 stylish products from Amazon will help you create exactly that.

6A Pillowcase That Keeps Your Hair And Skin Healthy

This Alaska Bear pillowcase is as close as you'll get to actual beauty sleep. Unlike cotton, silk won't absorb the moisture from your skin and hair, and it's also gentler, which means no more pillow lines, tangles, breakage, or knots.

Get it in 40 colors and patterns like beige (pictured), white, marble, or silver.

9 A Smart Light Bulb That Changes Hues To Fit Your Mood

With these smart bulbs, you can change the hue, set the mood, or dim the lights using Bluetooth technology. The bulb is compatible with Alexa-enabled Echo devices, Google Assistant, or with the help of the Philips Hue App. If you install several lightbulbs throughout a room, you can use the app to select preset lighting moods, like Tropical Twilights or Soho, and the lights will adjust themselves to create the perfect atmosphere.

14A Futuristic Toilet Brush That Stays Clean By Itself

The D-shaped design of the Joseph Joseph flex toilet brush allows for a much more thorough and sanitary scrub than the standard toilet brush. The flexible silicone head can reach all areas, even under the rim. The wide-spaced bristles won't trap dirt, are easy to clean, and are drip-resistant. After use, just return the brush to its discreet, slim holder.

15An Expandable Cutting Board That Also Saves Space
