Simran Kaur, Editor in Chief at home design site Room You Love, explains that bookshelves without sufficient decor can look boring. “But a book vase like this one tucked right among your books holding flowers is unique, artsy, and creative,” she says. “It adds a lot of visual interest to your bookshelves, making you want to go and pick up a book every now and then!” This acrylic version is transparent so you can easily display your bouquet’s stems. It also boasts a clever “title” on the spine and cover: The Mystery of Growth.

Kaur recommends this candle warmer lamp for adding extra coziness to your space while extending the life of your candles. “It guarantees an added romantic vibe with its warm glow and the forever-lasting [candle] fragrances that it keeps intact,” she says. This lamp contains a halogen bulb that warms the wax, along with four brightness settings so you can adjust the mood to your liking. Besides offering illumination, the lamp warms the wax, so you can get the benefits of the candle — like the glow and aroma — without the drawbacks of smoke and an open flame.

According to Kaur, in order to keep loving the aesthetics of a room, “You need to change the look of a space every now and then.” So try this galaxy projector lamp to really shake things up. “A galaxy projector brings in some magic and turns the look of a room upside down. It's ethereal, magical, and insanely unique,” Kaur adds. This model features adjustable brightness, multiple rotation speeds, and 16 color schemes from which to choose. It even has a built-in Bluetooth speaker if you want to add a soundtrack.

Try this set of thinker statues to balance out minimalism that may have gone too far. “Since our homes have become so spic and span, even a single cute figurine is enough to draw some eyeballs and start fun conversations,” Kaur explains, adding that figurines make great tabletop centerpieces or mantel accents. These statues are made from neutral-hued sandstone and play with negative space thanks to their hollowed centers. They’re also available in bright shades, and you can even use them as bookends.

Whether you’re propping up a stack of magazines and books or using it as standalone decor, this head sculpture is sure to draw eyes and add visual interest, per Kaur’s advice. This statue is made from resin, and while it looks substantial, it’s not overly heavy, weighing in at around 2 pounds. The whimsical carving style makes an elegant touch in any space.

Julio Arco, evidence-based architect and interior designer at online design platform Bark&Chase, knows you don’t need to spend a ton for memorable decor. “Mirrors, for instance, are a powerful yet inexpensive tool in expanding perceived space and improving light distribution in rooms,” he says. This hanging mirror that mimics a pendant has a chain that sets it apart from other round options, making it a unique option. Its glossy, neutral brass edging ensures it will blend in with a variety of decors, too.

According to Arco, “Small decorative wall mirrors or mirror tiles can be strategically placed to amplify the lighting conditions of a room and make it appear more expansive.” This particular set comes with 25 tiles, allowing you to create a room-expanding piece of art that’s totally customized to your taste. They come with adhesive backing, making them incredibly easy to install as well. Choose between squares ranging from 2 to 5 inches wide.

• Available sizes: 2 - 5 inches

And why not extend the many benefits of reflective surfaces to your coffee table with this mirrored tray? It has a geometric art deco feel with a hint of practicality thanks to the side handles. It boasts a velvet backing to help protect surfaces, and at 15 inches long by 11 inches wide, it’s the perfect compact size for a variety of tables.

“Natural textures like wood, stone, and tile significantly affect our emotional and mental well-being,” Arco, says, adding “One affordable product I often recommend is peel-and-stick wallpaper that mimics these natural textures. They provide an easy and cost-effective way to revamp a space and offer the occupants the psychological benefits of being close to nature.” This paper gives the illusion of texture and depth along with the look of natural grass fibers. One roll allows you to cover more than 28 square feet, and it can even be repositioned in case you change your mind about the location.

Further supporting Arco’s penchant for natural materials like wood, these nesting baskets made from oak can help deliver those soothing psychological effects in any room. The pair comes with one larger and one smaller bin, each featuring two handles and a wire grid design for a pop of visual interest. Display them as decor or use them as a handsome set of drawer organizers.

This set of three wood candle holders boasts an attractive, sumptuously carved silhouette that’s sure to stand out wherever you display it.

Arco is also a fan of stone for drawing us closer to nature, and these slate coasters are no exception. The set comes with eight coasters featuring natural edges that evoke the beauty of a cliff face or stone-lined brook. Better yet, they come gorgeously displayed in a metal frame. Choose from square and round shapes.

“In my research, I've found that colors significantly affect not only our visual perception but also our mental state. [...] Affordable LED strip lights allow users to change the colors according to their mood or the time of day, potentially increasing productivity or relaxation,” Arco says. This particular light strip boasts a helpful remote to adjust the brightness and mode. It’s over 16 feet long and features 300 LED bulbs that can go from warm to cool in an instant. Place them under cabinets, behind bookshelves, or anywhere else you want to create mood lighting.

According to Arco, “Regarding colors and their influence on time, perception, and mood, one could consider mood lighting options with adjustable color temperatures,” and this smart bulb certainly is up to the task. It boasts a mind-bending 16 million color options with varying temperatures, so you’re sure to find one that sets the tone you’re looking for. It’s compatible with voice assistants like Alexa and even has its own app if you prefer to control it with your phone.

Since lighting can impact mood and energy, this dimmer switch is yet another way to put Arco’s advice into practice. This switch is standard wall-plate size and comes with step-by-step installation instructions. When it’s all set up, it pairs with home assistants so you can operate it with voice control. Or, use the brightness buttons on the plate to dim it by hand.

Speaking of customizable lighting, this desk lamp has everything you need to create a calming workspace or reading nook. It features three different lighting modes, and you can adjust the dial on the base to find what suits you best: daylight, warm light, or natural light. Even better, the lamp can can adjust the brightness automatically based on ambient light.

“As for the importance of decluttering, I've seen that a clutter-free environment can have a myriad of benefits including increased productivity and reduced stress,” Arco says. “Organizational products like multipurpose bins can be valuable investments,” he adds. This set of bins is a great option to start with. They’re made from eco-friendly bamboo fabric and feature natural rope handles. You can use them as drawer inserts in a grid bookcase, or as freestanding storage in a closet. They also come with transparent label insert slots so you can stay extra organized.

Arco also recommends under-bed storage solutions, adding that, “they serve the practical need for storage while also contributing to mental well-being by creating a more organized space.” The cases in this set have clear, zippered tops, so you can easily keep track of what you’ve stowed away. The handles allow for easy maneuvering as you pull them out from under your bed. Better yet, they fold nearly flat when not in use.

It’s a tufted accent bench, but conveniently, the lid comes off to reveal a hollow box you can use for storing blankets, toys, or anything else. As a bench it can support up to 500 pounds, while the interior can accommodate 50 pounds of stored materials.

Don’t neglect curating your art collection, because, as Arco explains, “Art, too, plays a vital role in shaping our emotions and thoughts. Posters or prints of calming landscapes or abstract art can serve as affordable ways to introduce art into your interior spaces,” proving it can be done on a budget. This framed wall art comes in options that depict a variety of natural landscapes, and it’s a great way to curate a calming space. The print comes with a frame, a wooden backing, and a film to help protect it. There’s even an included hook for hanging, so you can take all the guesswork out of displaying it.

It even comes with a remote so you can set a timer and operate it from wherever you are.

They are a soft, bright white with texture, and are super versatile so they don’t just go with one style,” she says. That makes them a great choice to balance out your more statement-making decor. These curtains mimic the look of linen, and while they’re sheer for optimal light diffusion, they still offer some privacy. They feature a natural, cross-hatching pattern for some added texture, too.

Abbott recommends adding lighting accents like a pair of sconces on both sides of your headboard. “The symmetry will have a soothing effect and help you make other design decisions that will enhance your space,” she explains.

For an unexpected design choice, change up your bed linens using this sand-washed duvet cover as a starting point. This model features a deep slate blue shade and has a soft, brushed finish — but you can also choose from a range of hues like fog, pebble, and dusty rose.

The insert is made from steel and uses a wavy design to tilt your spices slightly upward while storing them horizontally. It comes in three different dimensions so you can pick the best fit for your drawers.

While interior design aesthetics are important, Price also points out a handy home tool for preserving the aesthetics of your wardrobe: “These little cedar rings are a great way to discreetly keep moths away from your cashmeres, silks, and wools. Just hook them over a hanger and have a few spaced out evenly in your wardrobe to keep your clothes safe and protected,” Price says. The pink hue is a charming addition to your space’s decor, and the included sphere versions are great for placing loose in drawers.

“The long reach to the back of the cupboard is no more with a turntable,” Price says, adding, “It's great for storing oils and sauces or anything that tends to be tricky to reach or messy.” A great way to add style, convenience, and zen to your kitchen, this rotating bamboo lazy Susan spice rack is easily assembled and features two tiers of storage. Each tray is just over 8 inches wide, but makes use of vertical space, so you can get more storage from it.
