When you’ve just stared and stared at the same four walls, it can start to seem like your home is closing in on you, and a redo is the only answer. But when you browse home decor sites or flip through the glossies, the listed prices can give you a major case of sticker shock. Well, don’t worry because Amazon is stocked with stylish things for your home that you’ll love if you’re cheap AF.

I’m telling you, with this list in hand, I could do a whole update on your living room for less than $150. To build texture, I’d start with this area rug that’s outrageously fluffy, then I’d sprinkle in some of these faux succulents to bring some “nature” into the room. The throw pillows on your couch would absolutely get these new covers (and I’d pick a color depending on the season), then I’d add this cute basket as a highlight piece that also doubles as storage. For some coziness, I’d drape this throw blanket across that chair you have in the corner, then I’d end by picking up a couple of these smart bulbs that let you set a custom lighting scheme for your new (old) living room.

It doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to give your home some new life, and since it’s so economical, you can do it all over again next season — or, really, whenever the mood strikes. The most important thing is to have fun while staying within your budget.
