Designers Say These Are The 50 Most Amazing Finds Under $30 On Amazon

“One of my favorite Amazon products under $30 is the PHPH Wood Floating Shelves,” says Veiko Kallas, founder and interior designer at JALG. Made of durable and long-lasting solid wood, “[t]hey add a rustic charm to any space, making them perfect for modern, farmhouse, or eclectic decor.”

Each shelf can hold up to 20 pounds, and they come with all the screws and drywall anchors you need for easy and pain-free mounting. They’re great for basically any room in the house to display photos, plants, books, and other accessories.

Kallas also loves this decorative wooden mirror, explaining “[i]ts torched solid wood frame and carbonized black finish give it a unique, antique feel that works well with farmhouse or boho styles.” Measuring 12 inches wide — with the mirror itself measuring 5.8 inches — it works great displayed individually or used to add natural texture and dimension to a gallery wall. The wood is styled in two layers with a starburst pattern that’s eye-catching, making this a great find for the price.

Finding pieces that are practical and stylish is something Kallas looks out for to quickly change a room without much effort. This door mat is a great example of just that. It’s covered in stunningly vibrant florals that elevate your entryway, but it’s also machine-washable, making it a durable and easy-to-maintain addition to that high trafficked space. It has a 0.35-inch pile and a nonslip bottom so the rug stays in place. If you’re looking beyond the entryway, this rug comes in seven colors and 11 sizes.

Kallas says he loves finding “unique lighting fixtures that brighten up and add character,” like this industrial-inspired table lamp. With a minimalist design and a 13.8-by-4.7 inch footprint, the lamp works as an accent on a nightstand, bookshelf, or kitchen counter without taking up too much space. It has a black chrome metal basket and a warm shade that creates an elegant and polished atmosphere.

This hanging light has a wicker lantern design that hangs off a bamboo piece of wood, bringing natural elements into the home. It brings a unique warmth and texture into your space, like Kallas suggests, and it does so without any electrical work needed. It plugs in and has 9.84 feet of cord — with an on/off switch — to reach the closest outlet.

Another amazing thing Kallas recommends looking for when upgrading your home and shopping online is “eye-catching wall art and mirrors that make a space more interesting.” Build a coordinated gallery wall without having to search high and low for matching pieces of art with this geometric set. They’re unique both in their design but also for their rounded shape. This set has pieces in two different sizes, and all are equipped with a triangle hook on the back to easily hang.

“Storage solutions and organizational items are also crucial for keeping things tidy while looking good,” explains Kallas. This three-tier shoe rack is a great way to instantly organizer your entryway, closet, bedroom, or anywhere else you find unsightly piles of shoes. It’s made of stylish and neutral natural bamboo, which adds a lightness to your space. It’s easy to build, waterproof, and can hold up to 40 pounds.

“Sustainable and eco-friendly trends” are all the rage right now, according to Kallas. And this organic bath mat is an easy way to bring that into your bathroom. It’s Oeko-Tex Made In Green certified, meaning it has human-friendly and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices and chemicals. Plus, it’s made of buttery soft yarn with double-stitched edges that feels great on your feet and is easy to wash.

“Using natural and recycled materials is gaining popularity, which is great for the environment,” Kallas explains. These heart-shaped coasters are made from recycled cast iron, which gives them vintage charm at a budget-friendly price. They have nonslip rubber feet that further protect your surfaces from heat stains and water marks. They’re coated to prevent rusting and give them a shiny and eye-catching finish.

“Warm, earthy colors like terracotta and olive green are also in vogue, making spaces feel cozy and inviting,” Kallas says. This duvet cover comes in this stunning olive green color — as well as a bunch of other jewel tones in the same vein — and is velvety soft, lightweight, and breathable, so it’s no wonder why it has 52,000 five-star reviews. It comes with eight internal corner ties to keep your duvet secure and free from bunching. Bonus: it comes with two matching pillow covers.

“I expect people to focus on layering different textures, such as chunky knit blankets and plush velvet cushions, to create a warm and comfortable vibe,” Kallas says. This chunky blanket is a buttery soft, impossibly plush, and irresistibly cozy. It also adds a cool and fluffy texture to your space. It’s hand knit with chenille yarn and will look great whether it’s draped on your couch or as you’re snuggled underneath it.

Another great texture complement if you’re looking to play with form and function around your home like Kallas recommends are these velvet pillow covers. They’re made of silky and thick velvet that’s soft to the touch and give that shiny finish that’s unique and eye-catching. They come in 40 colors and have a hidden zipper for a totally seamless look.

Kallas also loves incorporating natural elements like these dried eucalyptus stems “to connect with the outdoors [...], helping create a calming and refreshing atmosphere.” This set comes with 10 stems of dried eucalyptus leaves that have that classic menthol-like smell that can give your bedroom or bathroom total spa vibes without any maintenance on your part.

Lead interior designer at Decorilla Joyce Huston loves these Lepro LED strip lights that “add a touch of ambiance or highlight any architectural features easily.” They can be cut to size and feature three dimmable color temperatures. This strip light comes with 3M adhesive sticky tape on the back that makes it super easy to install basically anywhere — around the perimeter of a room, underneath kitchen cabinets, around your stairs, you name it. Plus, they’re controlled with a convenient remote.

“These [baskets] are my fav when it comes to style and functionality. They are perfect for storing blankets, throws, magazines, toys, whatever you can think of,” Huston says. They’re made of woven cotton rope with reinforced stitching to be durable and soft and have built-in cotton handles that make transporting them easy. As a bonus, they have adorable paper labels so you know exactly what’s inside.

“Right now I’m a huge fan of the dynamic between maximalism and biophilic design. I love how layering patterns, textures and colors can create a vibrant and personal space, while also adding natural elements like plants, natural materials and earthy tones, bringing the outdoors in and building a sense of calm,” Huston says.

This vase is a great example of mixing maximalist design with classic natural elements. The 8-inch tall vase not only holds flowers but is also decorated with hand-painted 3D flowers 360 degrees around. With a slightly retro design, the vase has a water-resistant finish so it can hold fresh flowers or dried flowers.

Huston is also loving “dopamine decor,” which she says is all about embracing “bold colors, quirky patterns and unexpected textures” around your home to exude joy. This happy and fun peel-and-stick wallpaper instantly elevates your space with its repeating floral design and sunny yellow color. It’s made of high quality vinyl with eco-friendly ink for a matte finish that’s waterproof and removable. There’s also a grid pattern on the back to help you cut to size.

Registered interior designer Pamela Williams is obsessed with this faux leather ottoman because it’s “the perfect footrest after a long day, and it easily doubles as an extra seat when guests are over. It can even be used as a base for a tray to display accessories, making it a functional yet attractive focal point in a room.”

Not only does it look amazing and go with a ton of different home decor styles, but the ottoman also can be stuffed with everything from cotton or bean bag filler to things you might need to store like plush toys, out of season clothes, or throw pillows. It has raised stitching that looks great and adds durability, so it can hold up to 220 pounds.

Swapping out throw pillow covers based on the season is an easy and budget-friendly way to instantly refresh your space. Williams loves these pillow covers saying, “[t]he rich color options available will immediately add warmth and visual interest to any room, making them an ideal seasonal update.” They’re made of soft and thick corduroy in a unique two-direction striped texture that’s polished, elegant, and very expensive looking. They have an invisible center zipper that makes it so easy to add and remove the pillow inserts and are machine-washable.

“Personalizing a room with photos is a powerful design choice that adds warmth and meaning, helping your space feel uniquely yours,” Williams explains. “The clean, minimalist frames give any room a polished, high-end look without breaking the bank.” This set of 10 feature matching thick frames with polished glass and a cardboard backing that can be hung or stood on a table. Each order comes with three sizes and can help you create a stunning gallery wall without spending a ton of time scouring the internet for coordinating frames.

“This EUDELE shower caddy set is a must-have for organizing your bathroom essentials with style and ease,” Williams says. “Not only does it help you stay organized, but it also enhances the overall cleanliness and sophistication of your space. It’s the practical yet chic solution for any bathroom.”

This set is made of rustproof stainless steel and the super strong adhesive, and the larger caddies can hold up to 40 pounds. The set comes with two caddies for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, two soap holders for your favorite bars, and one toothbrush holder. Plus, the caddies have built-in hooks on which you can hang back scrubbers or loofahs.

“I love incorporating mirrors as they serve both decorative and functional purposes,” Williams says. “Mirrors reflect light, making your space feel larger and brighter by pulling daylight deeper into the room.” This irregular wall mirror not only lets you check yourself out before you leave the house, but also looks like a work of art on your wall. Between the trendy asymmetrical shape, solid wood frame, and super clear reflection, the mirror is an exceptional find for this price.

Williams loves the trending “nature-inspired decor,” like these wooden beads with rustic tassels. They’re the kind of easy and subtle design accent that can go with virtually any kind of home aesthetic. They can be used as-is, stained to your favorite finish, or even painted whatever color you want to match your home.

“People will embrace bold patterns, mixed prints, eclectic collections, and vibrant accessories to create spaces that are full of personality and reflect individuality,” Williams explains about the rise of maximalism.

This shower curtain is a great way to add color, fun, and boldness to your bathroom. It has neat edges with hand-sewn seams, vivid colors, and a waterproof style to keep water from spraying onto the floor. It has metal-covered holes and 12 C-type hooks to hang on your shower rod.

“Flexible lighting is essential for both productivity and comfort,” explains Williams. “Whether you're working, reading, or just relaxing, adjustable task lighting helps reduce eye strain and improves focus.” This LED desk lamp can rotate 160 degrees around and 115 degrees up and down to give you targeted light exactly where you need it. It has five color temperatures, 10 brightness levels, and a touch sensor switch. It also has a 30- and 60-minute auto-off timer so you can time your tasks.

Williams likes to shop for organizational products online. She says, “An organized space eliminates clutter, making your home more functional and visually pleasing. This not only boosts your efficiency in daily tasks but also fosters a calming environment, allowing you to fully enjoy and relax in your space.” Made of woven water hyacinth, these baskets follow her advice and can be used in virtually any room of your home. They can hold hand towels in the bathroom, kids’ toys in the living room, paper towels in the kitchen, makeup essentials in the bedroom, and more. They come in three sizes that nest foir storage when not in use.

“Organic shapes, natural materials like stone and ceramics, and biophilic touches will help create a calm, serene environment while maintaining a connection to nature,” Williams says. These slate coasters are the epitome of sophisticated natural style meets utmost function. They’re made of real stone that’s heat-resistant, sturdy, and features a stunning natural edge for an added texture. Of course, they have rubber feet on the bottom to protect your surfaces from heat and water damage.

“I am always looking for better-looking wire control, and these surge protectors are an excellent sleek choice,” says Alice Moszczynski, interior designer at Planner 5D. With a built-in surge protector, this outlet extender has five AC outlets, one USB-C port, and three USB-A ports, turning your ordinary wall outlet into something way more useful. It also has a built-in night-light that automatically turns on when light is dim.

Moszczynski is also “a big fan of any biophilic-inspired design,” so bring aspects of nature inside your home with things like these hanging garlands. Each piece of artificial ivy is 7.2 feet long — for a total of 173 feet — and feature plastic stems and leaves made of high-grade silk that are waterproof and won’t fade. Just like real ivy, you can bend and twist these garlands to hang on a wall in your bedroom, mantle in the living room, or patio outside.

“This entryway organizer is perfect for small entries like condos or apartments,” says FLOOR360 interior designer Nichole Abbott. “It comes in a variety of finishes to match any interior design style while keeping the clutter to a minimum.” This wall-mounted organizer features a 17-inch shelf to store sunglasses, wallets, and mail, two linen-lined drawers for mail and leashes, and four sturdy bronze hooks to hang your coats, hats, purses, and more. It’s made of natural solid wood and can hold up to 35 pounds.

“Add a touch of warmth to your bathroom with an acacia wood small stool, and place it near your bathtub,” says Abbott. “It’s a unique but timeless design with rounded corners that can hold a small faux plant or a small stack of folded hand towels.” This stool has a curved edge design with nonslip rubber feet on each of the three legs to keep it sturdy and in place — even in wetter environments. It can hold up to 150 pounds, and it las a long-lasting water-resistant finish.

Abbott loves this wine rack to “display and organize your wine collection on top of your countertop or bar cart.” With unique curved panel shelves, this wine rack not only maximizes space to holds up to 12 bottles of wine, but manages to also be an eye-catching piece of decor at the same time. It’s made of bamboo, so it’s super easy to assemble and holds the bottles horizontally, keeping the cork moist to avoid any unwanted air inside.

“Introduce [velvet] to your living area with a pillow cover that has a minimalist design in a neutral palette,” Abbott says about the trending material. This pillow cover has that neutral but eye-catching palette, with circular designs that add contrast and color. It’s buttery soft with a wide brim and the whole thing is fade- and stain-resistant.

Abbott also recommends any kind of “organizational items that minimize clutter while adding a flourish of design to the room,” like this storage ottoman. Inside, it can has up to 43 liters of space, great for storing blankets, toys, crafting accessories, or office supplies. Meanwhile, the outside features a super cozy tufted cushion and a super sturdy base that can hold up to 400 pounds when being used as a bench, stepping stool, or ottoman.

An entryway organizer is another must-have for Abbott, and this one has a ton of space to minimize clutter and add an eye-catching touch to your space. Easy to assemble, the organizational rack has five shelves that can each hold up to four pairs of adult shoes as well as four sets of two hooks that are great for holding hats, bags, coats, and more. It has a thin and wiry silhouette that doesn’t take up a ton of space while still packing a functional punch.

Abbott also recommends kitchen countertop storage like these shelves that can simultaneously organize your cooking essentials and display your favorite kitchen accessories and decor. The shelves have a bamboo top with sturdy metal bottoms that can hold up to 33 pounds. And the set of two are different sizes so they can be stacked, nested, used separately, or turned into an L-shaped corner shelf.

Abbott predicts that velvet will be everywhere this season, and she also recommends finding it in dark, earthy colors. Stay on trend and under budget while refreshing your space for the season with these couch cushion covers, which come in a variety of shades, including her go-to shades, rust and brown. The highly elastic velvet stretches to create the perfect fit around your couch cushions, with elastic bands on the bottom to keep them from coming.

Another wildly budget-friendly find that falls under Abbott’s recommendation of rich velvet accents are these stunning and dramatic curtains. These heavy-duty curtains come in a ton of deep earthy colors and jewel tones that Abbott’s loving right now, and the luxurious velvet adds texture and shape to your space. They can be hung with a rod pocket or curtain ring, and the brand claims they can block up to 85% of light.

“These sculptural white ceramic vases are my absolute favorite for layering on bookshelves, pairing together on a console, or adding to the fireplace mantle,” says Erika Dale, interior designer and founder of Erika Dale Interior Design/writer for Hunker.

With a modern and elegant doughnut design, these vases have a small mouth opening and a simple frosted finish that can be used to display your favorite faux or fresh flowers — or simply viewed as a piece of art in themselves. They’re two different sizes to add some dimension to your space, and they’re super lightweight, despite their quality and durability.

Dale loves this propagation station “because it is slim enough to comfortably sit on the sill and the full-visible tubes let you see when those adorable plant babies have roots ready for planting.” It has a sturdy and durable wooden base that all five clear glass tubes neatly slide into. Suitable for herbs and vines, freshly cut flowers, and more, the base can stand by itself on a windowsill, table, or bookshelf, but can also be hung with the included mounting tools.

“I absolutely adore having my candle warmer lamp on all year long,” says Dale. “It scents the room with a warm glow but there is no open flame to worry about!” This candle warmer lamp has a modern wooden base, metal arm with a uniquely rounded end, and glamorous glass shade that warms your candle for a delicious scent in minutes. It has four adjustable brightness levels — the brighter, the light the stronger the fragrance — and has three timing functions for two, four, and eight hours.

“[...T]here is nothing better than having your perfect cozy evening lighting ready at the touch of a button or scheduled automatically,” says Dale about the qualities of this LED light bulb. It’s dimmable and has a ton of color temperatures and brightness options you can adjust to your preferences. It can be controlled from anywhere with an app to turn on and off, set routines, sync with music and movies, and more.

Dale says she is “so ready to go all-in on the hygge trend of cozying up the house.” These candles not only smell delicious but also come in stunningly expensive looking beveled glass jars. The 6-ounce natural soy wax candles have a lead-free cotton wick with 40 hours of burn time. And the thick glass jars come with a lid so you can repurpose the entire thing when the candle is burnt out.

Reed diffuser sets are another great way to create cozy, homey vibes that Dale likes with a delicious scent but no live flame. This set has 6.7 ounces of essential oils in a fancy reusable glass bottle with five reed sticks and a real preserved baby’s breath flower that adds a touch of luxe. You can add, remove, or turn over the sticks to adjust the strength of the fragrance.

“I love to have a pretty set of wine glasses for hosting and connecting with friends and family,” Dale says. With a unique square shape and extra long and slender stems, these lead-free wine glasses are a great statement piece when putting together your stemware collection for hosting. They are great for red or white wine and are made of hand blown ultra-clear crystal with wide rim and slim edge for superior tasting and drinking.

Another thing Dale loves to look for on Amazon are small accessories that can “make a home feel thoughtfully curated and super cozy.” This decorative tray is one of those expensive looking finds that no one will believe was so cheap online. Made of premium wood with a raw-looking final texture, the tray is water-resistant and sturdy, with bottom legs that keep it slightly elevated to add some dimension to your display.

Another way to create a cozy, lived-in feel around your home is with small and unique accent lamps like this one. With a swirling design, the lamp was created with 3D printing technologies and features a sleek solid wooden base and a nonslip bottom mat. It has three color temperatures and nine brightness options that are fully adjustable to your needs.

These small planters are yet another inexpensive but impactful way to decorate your home with practical and pretty accents like Dale recommends. The set of five comes in moody, earthy colors and feature multiple drain holes at the bottom to prevent root rot and encourage proper hydration. They’re great for small to medium size plants like aloe vera, snake plants, peace lilies, succulents, and more.

“I love these command floating shelves for displaying light items without wall damage,” says creative director and principal designer at Northshire Living Niki Conte. Like most Command products, they’re super easy to install with five included medium adhesive strips. They can hold up to 5 pounds, and they can be removed by simply pulling down on the adhesive strip so it won’t leave behind any goo or damage to your walls or surfaces.

Even as “a designer with access to all the best trade sources,” Conte likes to find small things like hardware online. These matte black cabinet pulls are a great and super inexpensive way to refresh your space without doing any major construction. They come in a couple finishes to match to your kitchen or bathroom’s aesthetic, and they’re super easy to install.
