If Your Home Needs A Refresh, These 36 Affordable Products Will Do It For Cheap

Fabulous upgrades that don't cost a fortune? I'm sold.

1. A foldable, nonslip stone bath mat if your ratty, mildew-ridden rug simply isn't cutting it anymore. These innovative mats are made of highly absorbent diatomite stone, so you can say goodbye to sopping wet rugs that never fully dry and leave your bathroom smelling funky. Plus, it can be easily folded up and stored away when it's not in use... but given how lovely it looks, why would you do that?

Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoids my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

2. A mesmerizing candle warmer that blends a vintage-inspired base with a modern, 3D sphere light for a captivating experience everyone will ask about. No need for an open flame, but you still get moody lighting *and* your fave candle's heavenly scent floating about the room. You can adjust the height, brightness level, and it has a wide base for various candle sizes. There's also an auto shut-off timer for peace of mind.

It comes with two halogen bulbs.

Promising review: "Worth every dollar. It's pretty, has a timer, and is so effective! I like it so much better than burning my candle, and I think it makes the scent carry farther. Including an extra halogen bulb is very thoughtful and convenient. I use it at its tallest adjustment over a large Yankee candle and it is plumb vertical, does not lean. I had to use an extension cord to have the control switch within reach, but I have it on a high dresser. 100% recommend this!" —PrettyFunkyPunky

Get it from Amazon for $20.99.

3. A snazzy new switch plate cover when you wanna transform your plain light switches and outlet covers into stunning masterpieces. Who knew something as simple as turning on the lights could feel so luxurious?

Promising review: "Redid our primary bathroom and purchased a few configurations of this switch plate and they are the real deal!

Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside too." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular-size Torani syrup bottle, it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." —Naomi

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

I was always buying soap stands at Target and Marshalls, and they would always sit weird, get really, really dirty or slimy, or they wouldn’t hold things properly. But then I found this, and I hate to sound like an infomercial, but it’s really great. I like this so much and when it gets dirty, you just sand it down a little bit with the sanding circle they give you. Also, it takes up way less room and everything looks really neat." —HonestAmazon

You'll also do a double-take when you see the price because they don't cost hundreds of dollars, which is what you'd spend on Cozy Earth or Egyptian cotton sheets. These are made with wonderfully soft moisture-wicking microfiber fabric that actually lasts.

Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these versus expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper. These sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven’t started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" —Susan

"We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" —Sheree Chrestman

Promising review: "We have bought at least six different brands of these kinds of pillowcases over the years via Amazon. We always order standard-size pillowcases, but invariably, we end up with queen-size ones. These standard-size pillowcases really are standard size. They fit our pillows perfectly. And though all the brands that advertise under the 'satin' or 'sateen' or 'silk' pillowcase category represent that their products are, or 'feel like' silk, these pillowcases really do feel silky. We have only washed them (cold water and line-dried only) a few times, but they seem as though they will hold up. I sure hope so. They are the best and most comfortable that we have yet to find on Amazon." —George Scarlatta

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes, 30 colors, and in sets of four or individually).

It is a treat to look at on my windowsill, 11/10 recommend for anyone who wants a bright spot in their living room!"

Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing! [The] face is so peaceful and sweet, and the pose is so thoughtful. It looks absolutely great with any type of flower or flower mix. Each different arrangement looks different, so it’s always fun and new. I love it as decor even without flowers. I get a smile every time I look at it." —Booyeah 21

Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds, which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith

The dimmer lets you set your brightness, so for me, when I have to get up in the middle of the night, it is a nice soft glow that lights up exactly where I need.

Promising review: "I took a chance and bought this originally as a 'Band-Aid fix' to refinish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that... paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl(?) with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much, I bought more and re-finished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don't have the money for a full remodel just yet.
