I've always had a love for interior design. I wanted to go to school for it, yet here I am as a writer. But that doesn't mean that I don't spend all of my time and money decorating my house now! I always said that my house would look like it belongs in a magazine if I had the money. I also happen to be renting right now, which really limits what I can and can't do with the home.
Luckily for me and all other renters out there, Amazon has a ton of items that help you hide the less than pretty parts of your home. From removable wallpaper to light fixtures to area rugs to faux plants, there's something for every room and problem. Whether you want to upgrade your outdated kitchen or you just need to cover bare walls, Amazon has it all to make your house look like a million bucks (without actually spending a million bucks).
We hope you find these products as awesome as we do. Just an FYI: We are a participant in the Amazon affiliate program, and may receive a share of sales from links on this page. Prices on Amazon fluctuate so anything mentioned below might change as soon we publish it!

Running Low On Storage? You Need This Storage Cart

It's great for extra toilet paper, towels, soap, shampoo, or kitchen items like spices and other ingredients.

Not Buying Shoes Because You Don't Know Where To Put Them All? Now You Can With This Portable Shoe Rack
Amazon.com
I love love love shoes. They're such an easy way to dress up an outfit. What I don't love is trying to store them all. I have a pretty small closet, and while I do have a shoe rack, half of my shoes live under a bench in the doorway. To say that it's less than ideal is an understatement.

Turn Your Boring Backyard Into The Life Of The Party With This Multifunctional Fire Pit

All of your neighbors and friends will be wanting to come over all day, every day, to use it.
Turn Your Home Into A 5-Star Hotel With This Removable Wallpaper

If you have ever been to the Beverly Hills Hotel, or have at least seen pictures of it, then this removable wallpaper may look familiar.

Put All Of Your Houseplants In This Woven Basket

Never Worry About Killing A Plant Again With This Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig

These Velvet Pillows Can Dress Up Any Chair, Bed, Or Couch

These Floating Shelves Are Super Versatile

Floating shelves are all the rage in the home decor world right now, and there are a ton on the market.

This Portable Cube Storage Looks So Sleek
Amazon.com
Because I love that shoe storage I mentioned earlier so much, including this portable cube storage was a no-brainer. It gives off the appearance of a shelving unit but has the ability to hold a whole lot more. Because of its basic yet modern design, it truly can be used to hold anything you want it to.
This Coffee Table Can Hold Your Goodies And Act As A Desk
Amazon.com
As long as I am buying furniture, I will always try to find pieces with multiple uses. Why not get the most bang for your buck? This coffee table is one of the coolest pieces that I have seen in a while (thanks, TikTok). Once opened, it can be used as storage space, but the top can also come forward and be used as a desk. As someone who works from the couch about 8 hours a day, this is my dream come true.
Every Nice Faucet Needs A Matching Sink

Since I convinced you to get that faucet I mentioned earlier, now it's time to convince you to get a sink to go along with it.

Pair this with your faucet and tropical wallpaper, and you can start charging your friends and family to stay in your house–it'll be that nice.
Upgrade Your Furniture With These Gold Pulls
Amazon.com
There's something so beautiful about furniture with gold pulls. Maybe it's my mid-century loving heart, but I can't get enough of it. And it's such an easy temporary swap to make. These gold pulls come in a pack of 26 for less than $35. That's one of the cheapest DIY projects you may ever find.
Your Modern Home Needs This Industrial Ceiling Light
Amazon.com
Why am I such a sucker for good lighting fixtures? I think it's the home interior snob in me. These industrial ceiling lights are perfect for a modern house and would look killer in a bathroom, hallway, or dining room. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get a house like the one in this photo...
Stay Organized With This Peg Board Organizer

Often we find areas of our homes ugly because they are cluttered. This is a straightforward problem to fix, yet we don't do it a lot of the time.

You'll feel like a brand new person once it's organized, I promise.
These File Boxes Hide Piles of Paperwork

This Coat Rack Is Great For Small Spaces
Amazon.com
Linen closets, if a home even has one, are typically tiny and pretty much useless. They can hold a whopping three jackets before overfilling. If you find your closet overflowing, get this coat rack. It has 10 durable hooks for clothing items and features a shoe rack too. Keeping it by your door also gives you quick, easy access to the items you need the most.
These Baskets Are Great For Nurseries Or Playrooms

Of course, last but not least, more baskets. When I say that your life will be so much easier and organized when you take advantage of baskets, I'm not lying. I know I sound OCD, but these baskets are roomy, hold almost anything, and still look nice. They'd be perfect for a nursery or playroom!
