37 Small Ways To Transform Every Room In Your House

The smallest things can make the biggest impact. For example, the other day I was being lazy and decided to haphazardly stack a mug into the cabinet above my stove. Not a big deal, right? But when I opened the cabinet later, the mug fell out — and cracked my glass cooktop. But you? You're better than me. You put your mugs away correctly, just like how you head over to Amazon every time you want to add a little style to your home.

And just like how something small — like being lazy with a mug — can lead to a $300 repair bill, sometimes the smallest things make a huge difference. That's why this list is full of velvet throw pillows in every color, incense burners that get rid of funky odors, and even printed shelf liners that'll stop your glassware from falling off. Now that I'm thinking about it, those liners could've helped with my mug problem — and now they're in my cart. Funny how things happen, isn't it?
