Amazon's Selling A Ton Of These Things That Make Your Home Seem Expensive For Under $35

Not only will these drinking glasses with bamboo lids look a lot more expensive than your basic drinking glasses, but they’ll make your daily coffee or tea (or even water) routine feel a bit more special. This order comes with four glasses that are dishwasher-safe and can accommodate both hot and cold drinks, as well as four reusable straws and two straw cleaners. Influencers like Molly-Mae Hague and Tinx use similar glasses, and with a near-perfect 4.7-star overall rating, Amazon shoppers are clearly catching onto the trend.

Designed by Swedish jewelry designer Moe Takemura, these popular hanging planters look like they come from an upscale boutique — nobody will guess you picked up a set of two for just $18 on Amazon. The clean, minimalist design incorporates nicely into any interior, particularly because they come in a few different color combinations, like white and brass (pictured) or concrete and copper. Though they’d obviously look gorgeous planted with greenery, they can also be used as catch-alls for small objects, like kitchen utensils, pens and pencils, or makeup brushes.

If you’re craving a major home upgrade, consider creating a statement wall with this peel-and-stick wallpaper in a modern geometric print. It’ll make a noticeable difference in how your home looks, but with a single-digit price tag and a “quick and easy install,” as one customer wrote, the fuss is minimal. Customers have put this adhesive paper to some other creative uses, like lining drawers and refinishing dressers, too. Plus, it’s just as easy to remove as it is to install when you’re ready to move out.

Marble accents always look expensive, and with a 4.8-star rating out of over 11,000 ratings in total — and ringing up at less than $20 — this set of six marble-print coasters would be a foolproof addition to your tablescapes.

Well made and weighed,” one customer wrote of these expensive-looking pieces, and another shared, “They work so great I decided to buy another set to have enough for when we host parties.”

A jute rug is timeless, especially if your design sensibility leans rustic- or beachy-chic. This one is handwoven and made with sustainably harvested jute, making its under-$30 price tag all the more impressive. It’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (it would work particularly well as an entrance mat inside your foyer), and Amazon reviewers rave about the quality; “We’ve had it a year and it still looks this good in a main traffic area,” one customer wrote.

Dim or insufficient lighting tends to make spaces look cheaper (or at least uninviting), and this set of three LED strip lights is among the easiest, most affordable fixes for that problem, according to thousands of happy Amazon shoppers. The peel-and-stick, plug-and-play model doesn’t require an electrician to install, and the slim design fits in all kinds of spaces, like under cabinets or shelving, inside closets, and beneath stairs. This order also comes with a remote that allows you to adjust the brightness level and set the lights on a timer.

There’s something about fabric shower curtains that always feels quietly luxurious.

Decant your cotton balls, swabs, flossers, and other miscellany into these cheap and chic apothecary jars with bamboo lids for a luxury hotel-inspired update to your bathroom. As one shopper wrote, “I bought these for my main bathroom to give it a spa-like look and feel. I love that these [aren’t] bulky or in the way. Just the right size for a small space.” They provide a sophisticated storage solution well beyond the bathroom, too, so you may want to add a couple sets to your cart.

Something as simple as a chic candle can work wonders to make a space look and feel more inviting — and Amazon is home to some cult-favorite fragrance brands, like Nashville-based Paddywax, beloved for their collector-worthy, apothecary-inspired jars and rich, sophisticated scents, like “Tobacco & Patchouli” (linked here), “Vetiver & Cardamom,” and “Amber & Smoke.” Once you’ve run through the 8-hour burn time, you can reuse the jar as a stylish holder for makeup brushes or pens.

Create a clean, organized pantry worthy of The Home Edit with these food storage containers, available in a set of seven in varying sizes that are perfectly designed to stack on top of each other.

The order also comes with cute black adhesive labels and a white marker for added organizational ease. “Fabulous storage - SO much better than the round storage containers that I have.

An organized home is an expensive-looking home, making these wildly versatile clear organizer bins an indispensable purchase as you’re upgrading your interiors. Less than $20 gets you a set of 25 bins in four sizes, all equipped with non-slip silicone feet on the bottom. They’ve earned a 4.7-star rating after over 14,000 customers in total have weighed in. No matter how you put them to use — and there are truly infinite ways to do so — “they just make life less stressful,” as one reviewer put it.

Crafted of Italian glass with the satisfying heft characteristic of luxury glassware, this highly rated decanter is a major steal. Filled with whiskey or other spirits, it’s the perfect addition to a well-stocked bar cart; non-drinkers can put it to use as a glamorous water carafe on a bedside table, or even as a mouthwash holder in the bathroom. “This decanter is gorgeous, the glass is perfect and the broad face means it's excellent for inspecting the color of your liquor,” one customer wrote, continuing, “The glass is medium-heavy, meaning it feels good but is also easy to handle. Ideal for any home collection. Modern, relatively minimal geometric styling blends with most setups.”

Not only will this pair of highly rated floating shelves magically create extra storage space, but between the clean white base and gleaming gold accents, they look so much more expensive than your typical wall-mounted shelves (though they come in other minimalist color combos, as well). This set has the added benefit of a towel bar, as well as a rust- and damp-resistant design, making it particularly well-suited toward mounting in a bathroom to hold things like toiletries, perfume, and extra TP rolls.

One can never have too many storage solutions, especially if they masquerade as chic decor like these cotton rope baskets. Sold in a set of three, they’re lightweight yet sturdy and boast handles on the sides so you can easily cart them around from room to room. Plus, the flexible material folds up, so you can hide them under a bed or in a closet if they’re not in use — though they come in handy for so many storage purposes, like holding toys, blankets, workout gear, towels, and off-season clothes, that you’ll probably be using them constantly. Plus, the woven design and array of neutral colors blends in with so many interiors, from beachy to traditional to modern.

There’s a reason why the dried pampas grass trend has held on for the past few years: The neutral-hued plant is a chic, low-maintenance way to bring a natural element into your home, even if you weren’t blessed with a green thumb — and it’s much less expensive than repurchasing bouquets of fresh flowers weekly, as evidenced by this popular bunch that costs just about $20 on Amazon. A bundle always looks clean and fresh popped into a minimalist ceramic vase; or, take a cue from celebrity homes and mold it into a wreath, or put it to work as a centerpiece for a casual dinner party.

An insider tip from closet organizers: Swap out your clunky plastic hangers for a set of velvet hangers. Not only do they look much more streamlined than plastic, but the slim design also helps you maximize your closet space; and since the velvet fabric has some grip to it, slippery fabrics like chiffon and silk won’t slip off. You can’t do much better than these Zober hangers, which have garnered a cult following among home organizing enthusiasts and a near-perfect 4.8-star rating after over 80,000 ratings overall. Choose from packs of 20, 30, 50, or 100, in an array of colors — though black always looks sophisticated.

Ringing up at under $30, this modern, geometric table lamp is such a hidden gem on Amazon — though with close to 2,000 five-star ratings, it’s developing a growing following among enterprising shoppers, who rave about the great quality for the price, the eye-catching design, and the compact size that’s just right for a side table. “It gives off quite a bit of light for such a small lamp, and it's a beautiful warm glow of light. Plus, the gold geometric shape of the lamp is seriously the cutest! I love this lamp and am considering buying a couple more,” one shopper shared.

Over 1,000 reviewers who left a five-star rating co-sign the quality, like this one, who wrote, “I have a small collection of decanters and this one is by far my latest favorite. It is very sleek and displays the wine so beautifully. For the money, there is nothing even close to the quality of this decanter.”

Ditching your well-worn dishrags for fresh new dish towels in a sophisticated design is one of the simplest ways to make your kitchen look more expensive.

One of the easiest ways to make your bathroom look and feel more expensive? Swap out your old fabric bath mat for a sleek, modern bamboo version, like this one, which comes at a particularly great price. It’ll give your bathroom a spa-like touch, and it’s also much more hygienic than a fabric bath mat, since bamboo is quick-drying and doesn’t harbor bacteria, mildew, or mold.

Decor wise, these rustic-chic vases have so many uses.
