Your living room is probably the room you spend the most time in. It’s where you unwind after a long day, host guests, and have family movie nights—it might even be where you work from home if you don’t have a separate, dedicated office space.

Needless to say, it’s important for your living room to feel cozy and welcoming, and to be a space that truly reflects your style and interests. Luckily, it’s pretty easy (and affordable!) to give your living room a refresh that does just that. 

As an interior designer who often works with clients remotely, scouring the internet for beautiful home goods is a big part of my job. So, I browsed Amazon to bring you some of the best living room decor and furniture picks that caught my eye—as well as some tried-and-true pieces I own myself.

Shop them below starting at just $9, and give your living room the budget-friendly designer-approved upgrade it deserves.

If you’re looking to change up your existing decor, there’s no easier way than to swap out your throw pillow covers. I love these funky scalloped velvet pillow covers because of their contrast piping—a colorful, modern twist on traditional style. They come in 12 different color combinations to match (or inspire!) the rest of your interior aesthetic, though I’m partial to this fun pink and blue colorway.

They can fit most standard square throw pillows since they’re available in four sizes, including 16 inches by 16 inches, 18 inches by 18 inches, 20 inches by 20 inches, and 22 by 22 inches. They’ll definitely give your living room a much more expensive-looking upgrade.

I was given a similar candle warmer lamp a few years ago as a gift, and it quickly became one of my favorite decor pieces ever. It’s cute, stylish, and adds a nice ambient glow to the room, yes, but it also makes enjoying my collection of scented candles so much nicer.

First off, with a candle warmer lamp, you no longer have to worry about having an open flame in your home when using candles, since the bulb melts the wax instead. As the wax melts, the scent is dispersed more subtly throughout the living room, and it melts more evenly than it would when lit.

I’ve noticed my candles last much, much longer when I use them in the lamp versus when I would burn them, which is a huge perk. 

“Wild Interiors” by Hilton Carter

Coffee table books are an awesome way to add color and pattern to your living room while also showing off your personality and interests.

Any graphic hardcover book you love that works with your space’s existing color scheme is great, but if you need a book suggestion, I love Hilton Carter’s Wild Interiors—it’s the ideal blend of gorgeous interiors and lush houseplants, and the cover and spine are absolutely stunning. It’s perfect if your living room could use a pop of color, and it looks just as beautiful alone on the table as it would in a short stack of books. 

Keep scrolling to shop more of my living room decor picks, including my go-to frames for larger art, my favorite candle brand, a sleek and stylish mid-century modern coffee table, side tables that can show off pretty books and magazines, coasters, and more. Not to mention the superbly soft and beautiful area rug that anchors my own living room.

If your living room has one of these 5 pieces, it's probably stuck in 2005

Walk into a living room that hasn't changed much since the mid-2000s and there's a particular feeling. The space is comfortable enough, maybe even clean, but something about it feels like a time capsule. It's not a bad feeling, exactly. It's just very... 2005. The thing is, it's rarely the wall color or the throw pillows giving it away. More often than not, it comes down to a handful of specific furniture pieces that carry the whole era on their...
