As the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon has just about everything you need to furnish your home, whatever your decorating style. When it comes to finding those little extras that can turn a house into a home, it can feel overwhelming to sort through literally thousands of Amazon home design items for sale. 

To help you out a bit, we gave ourselves a $50 budget and sorted through hundreds of Amazon home decor items and thousands of reviews to find five unique—and buyer-approved—decor items. Our goal? To locate the best-reviewed Amazon Prime items for under $50 so you can get one of our picks as fast as possible!

Woven knit throw blanket – $17.99

Folded at the foot of your bed, draped casually across a chair or sofa, or wrapped around you for a night of Netflix on the couch, this fringed blanket is always just an arm’s reach away. Thousands of Amazon home design shoppers rave about how soft and cozy the soft knit is. We love the diamond pattern and choice of a dozen decorator-inspired colors. 

It is every bit as luxurious looking as wool, without the itch, that is! Plus, this nicely sized throw can be machine washed and dried, so the occasional spill or that pesky pet fur won’t result in a costly trip to the dry cleaner. At this price, you’ll definitely want more than one!

Set of 3 ceramic bud vases – $28.99

Love color? You’ll adore this trio of petite ceramic bud vases. Three colors. Three different shapes. A great dose of modern flair, whether grouped together or scattered throughout a room.

Prime delivery lets you order today and receive it as soon as tomorrow! 

Natural candlescape trio – $15.99

Candles always add ambiance to a room, but this distinctive candle trio is equally stylish, lit, or unlit. The three frosted glass votive holders on a wooden plate are accented with polished river stones, and the soothing earth tones are equally at home in rustic or modern settings. Amazon buyers think it’s perfect on a bedside table or shelf, and we think it’s the perfect little accent anywhere you see fit.

As you can see, the right accents can really complete a room—and they don’t need to cost a lot. A few well-chosen Amazon home design accessories turn bland to wow, even if you’re on a budget. For added shopping assurance, always check the customer reviews for pros and cons on every item you buy and look for items with a large number of 5-star reviews. Happy shopping!

8 handy tips for buying secondhand furniture (so you don’t end up buying junk)
Secondhand furniture shop with unique pieces

Looking for one-of-a-kind furniture to match your eclectic style? Secondhand shopping is the way to go! Whether you’re exploring a giant flea market or your local thrift store, it’s easy and fun to find vintage pieces that fit your unique style and will look great in your home. But shopping for used items is slightly different than going to a furniture store; it requires more research and effort. That extra work pays off, though, when you score a deal on the piece of furniture you’ve been dreaming of. Here are a few tips to help you find secondhand furniture that’s stylish, functional, and affordable.

Know what you’re looking for before you go
Whether you’re at a secondhand shop, yard sale, or flea market, the sheer volume of available pieces can be overwhelming. Especially for thrift shopping beginners, it helps to have a plan. Decide what type of furniture you’re looking for and what design styles would look best in your home. You should also take measurements ahead of time so you don’t purchase a piece that doesn’t fit your space.
Check tags and labels
When you find a piece you like, the first thing you should do is check the price tag, as well as the label or stamp on the furniture. This will let you know who manufactured the furniture. If you’re not familiar with the maker, do a quick online search to learn more about the manufacturer, the piece, and its value. This information is crucial to determining whether you’re getting a good deal or if you should keep on walking.
Look for signs of damage
Before taking furniture home, inspect it carefully for irreparable damage and unpleasant odors. Avoid pieces with pest-damaged or rotting wood, as this kind of structural damage is difficult and usually not financially worthwhile to fix. Water damage and burn marks can also be challenging to handle without the help of a professional. With fabrics, look for tears, stains, and unpleasant odors. Some smells, like smoke or pet messes, can linger. And while upholstery can be replaced, stuffing and filling can also be impacted by scents.
