Stacks of Turkish bath towels in vibrant, saturated colors. A dainty bundle of dried lavender in your favorite heirloom vase. Intricate macramé wall hangings made of sun-bleached cotton rope. Once, finding treasures like these required more than a few trips to boutiques, outdoor markets, and antiques shops. However, times have changed — and today, you can score these and other incredibly chic things for your home for under $50 on Amazon — just don’t be surprised if nobody believes where you found them.

Of course, there’s a reason why not everyone has purchased a 3-foot tall majesty palm tree from Amazon just yet. While the online retailer sells dozens of unique, hand-crafted items from skilled local artisans and small family businesses, finding these hidden gems for yourself often requires a fair amount of digging. But don't worry, because the work has been done for you. Hand-selected by editors because they’re both useful and chic, these 31 picks, rounded up ahead, represent the best of what Amazon has to offer. Plus, everything costs just $50 or less, and, of course, most items are eligible for free, two-day Prime shipping.

So go ahead, what are you waiting for? Giving your space some character has never felt more effortless.
