We hope you love the products we recommend!

1. Keep your plates, cups, and saucers coordinated and cute with a super-affordable dinnerware set — perfect for your next dinner party.

The dinnerware set includes four dinner plates, four dessert plates, four bowls, and four mugs.Promising Review: “These dishes are sturdy, and the color representation from the online picture to the actual product is very accurate. The bowls, though smaller than the ones I had before, will be wonderful for controlling soup and cereal portions. I also love the size of the salad plate, and the mugs are a decent size. If you enjoy a hefty cup of coffee in the morning, these won't be for you. But for entertaining or the occasional tea or hot chocolate drinker, these mugs are the perfect size. The handles are the kind that are easy to rest your thumb on top of, too. So that's another plus!” —Kaela Get the 16-piece set from Amazon for $27.99 (available in four colors).

2. Add some serious personality to your living room or bedroom by hanging up a set of wooden gallery frames. They even come with super helpful templates!

Promising Review: “I purchased this set a few months ago, put the frames in a closet, and have been dragging my feet to get pictures printed. I finally opened the box and was shocked to find there was already artwork included! The photos are actually really nice, so I decided to hang the frames up with the included art. The templates made them really easy to hang. Just cut them out, tape them to the wall, so you can get a feel for how you want it arranged, and make the holes right over the paper. I decided not to use the anchors and opted for small nails instead. They are pretty lightweight, so I don't foresee any issues with not using the anchors.” —Diana Get the seven-piece set from Amazon for $33.32.

3. Cook basically whatever you want with a multitalented Instant Pot and the super-helpful The Instant Pot Cook Book.

4. Swap out your mismatched pots and pans for a full non-stick cookware set so you can really start putting your kitchen to work.

6. Make your friends' eyes gleam with envy by grabbing a chrome in-sink dish rack that’ll make washing dishes kind of sexy.

Promising Review: “Sinks come in many sizes, and finding a dish rack to fit mine was quite the endeavor. I looked at many different racks on Amazon to try to find one to fit the smaller side sink in my kitchen. This over-the-sink drainer rack worked perfectly. It is well-made, good-looking, and fits just right! I will often wash a glass or dish by hand, and this allows me to let them dry in the rack. I don't get too excited about items like this. But when something works, is made well, and looks great, then I get happy!” —Frank Get it from Amazon for $18.87.

7. Liven up your room using a gorgeous velvet accent chairall your guests will be talking about — and may even try to take home.

Promising Review: “This chair is great quality. I purchased the gray one, and it's exactly like the photos. The velvet is very soft and in great condition. The seat’s height is good if you want to fit it under a desk or table. Plus, the chair is actually pretty deep, so taller people should also be fine sitting in it. The assembly was also very simple!” —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $91.99+ (available in six colors).And check out our full list of the best chairs you can buy on Amazon here.

8. Store your cotton swabs in an adorable lotus holder for a delicate addition to your bathroom counter or vanity.

9. Toss your keys or scarves on a leather and brass wall hook that’ll immediately dress up your room.

10. Bury yourself in a set of comfy microfiber sheets you can guarantee will put your current ones to shame.

The set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one pillowcase for Twin and Twin XL, and two pillowcases for other sizes. Promising Review: “These sheets are super impressive for the price. The sheets are extremely soft after one wash and have a nice sateen look to them. I would hold them up against our 700-count Egyptian sateen sheets any day. We love them so much, we even bought a second set." —BoldAdventureGet them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 10 colors and six sizes). And check out our full list of the best sheets to buy on Amazon here.

Promising Review: “This set is lovely, well-constructed, and looks expensive. The wastebasket is medium-size and very adequate. Unless, of course, you are lax in emptying the wastebasket. If you want a bamboo set, this is a great choice at a great price!” —Marsha S Get the five-piece set from Amazon for $44.99.

12. Switch on an antique-looking brass floor lamp to light up even the darkest corners of your home — and possibly your heart.

14. Swap your metal home office accessories for a vibrant desktop organizer you can configure in limitless ways.

Promising Review: “I was very excited to get this item and decided to toss my old mesh desk organizer as soon as I took it out of the package. It looks so perfect! It has five divided parts that can easily be arranged to fit any desktop area. It can also hold more office supplies than other desk organizers I’ve owned.” —Ken Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight colors).

16. Get scarves and small handbags off the floor by placing them on a sleek metal accessories hook.

Promising Review: “I bought the two-pack, so I could use one for scarves and the other for jewelry. I moved into a new house and still had a box of my larger necklaces. In my last place, I had them hanging on hooks or pins on the wall, which wasn’t really 'adulting-approved.' But I hooked my necklaces and bracelets, big and small, onto these rings. And not only is my necklace collection now organized and detangled, but it also looks like art!” —Kristin Get it from Amazon for $8.45+ (available in seven finishes).

17. Sip in style with a set of hand-blown glasses made from recycled glass.

Promising Review: “I bought these glasses to replace a set I bought 20 years ago — which I actually still had three of. But these are even bigger than the set I was replacing, which I really like. They arrived intact and very nicely packaged. I just ordered the matching smaller set to go with them!” —Cindy M Get the set of six from Amazon for $42.99.

18. Secure your over-the-head headphones on your dresser or desk using a headphones rack.

Promising Review: “This stand was easy to assemble. It has a stable bottom anchor weight with a relatively small desk footprint, which helps prevent tipping over. It is a really great buy, seeing that I did not want to mess up the finish on any of my furniture or wall to clamp, stick, hang, or drill in a headphone holder.” —Linda S.Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in three colors, with a round or square base).

19. Ditch your predictable glass cruets for a set of stoneware oil and vinegar bottles your friends will adore.

The canisters are dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended. Promising Review: “I love how these bottles look. They're modern and add a little something to my kitchen counter. However, the oil dribbles out of the bottle instead of flowing out in a stream. So it should be noted you may have to wipe it down after you use it!” —Anonymous Get the set of two from Crate & Barrel for $10.95.

20. Pack away towels, bedding, or off-season clothes in a handsome set of under-the-bed storage boxes.

Promising Review: "My husband and I have to share a closet — ugh, good thing he's worth it! So I bought this to free up the top shelf. It is extremely sturdy, holding five pairs of pants, 20 shirts, a dress, and my pajamas. The box also doesn’t tilt or stretch!” —Mflinn Get the set of two from Amazon for $14.99.

21. Take bread storage to new levels with a clear bread boxthat’s worth every single carb.

Promising Review: “I’ve been baking bread for quite a while now. And until I got this bread keeper, my bread would go stale in about three days, if I left it out. I could extend it to four days, if I put it in a plastic bag. But there would definitely be mold by the fifth day. But with this bread keeper, I've seemed to be able to keep bread fresh for over a week. The crust definitely gets soft. But there is no mold. And after about 10 days, it is only stale around the edges.” —Cases Davis Get it from Amazon for $13.97.

22. Display your jewelry in a terrace tray that’ll make your current accessories holder look super wack.

Promising Review: “This tray looks great on top of my dresser and is just the right size. It doesn't take up too much space and holds a lot of jewelry. I also love the sliding trays and how easy it is to access everything. I’m so happy I purchased this!” —J. Grady Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
