Promising review: "Great size, the color was as described, and for it being faux leather it certainly feels real! It didn't have a bad odor when I opened it. So far I'm very impressed!" —Tiffany Zylstra

Promising review: "This turned out to be a great purchase. I had seen similar lights for much more money. I was trying to coordinate this light with some others I had in my house and this was perfect. As the vendor states, it can hang from a sloped ceiling. I needed to customize the down rod and the vendor answered my email the same day and shipped a longer rod immediately. I also broke a globe and they shipped me two! I am very happy with the vendor and my light." —Laura E. West

Animal print not your passion? You can also grab a solid color version if that's your taste.

Promising review: "This wallpaper has all the looks of expensive, sexy wallpaper without the high price. I used it to cover a simple dresser which I also purchased through Amazon (pictured above, left). The wallpaper is strong and has a great texture to it. I would recommend this wallpaper to anyone. This is not a true deep black if you're looking for that. It definitely have a lot of gray tones in it." —Jake Strickland

Get it from Amazon for $54.34.

Readhead Woods is a US-based small business owned by Travis Stotz. You can find bath caddies, plant stands, and blanket/towel ladders in the shop. This particular bath caddy is a best seller and Etsy's pick!

Promising review: "I am thrilled, my bath caddy is so beautiful and earthy. High quality wood finish, smooth as silk. GORGEOUS graining and swails in my piece of wood. It is ABSOLUTELY finer than the photos show. I can't wait to take a luxurious bath and have a glass of wine and a candle with music. Aaaahhhhh! THANK YOU! True artisans. Worth the little wait." –Hilary

Get it from Redhead Woods on Etsy for $113.42+ (available in 12 sizes).

Promising review: "I had my doubts but I thought, what the heck, for the price I'd give them a try. I am in real estate and known as a lighting snob. The first thing I look at in a kitchen is if there is under cabinet lighting. These are so nice (it helps if you have a lip at the bottom of your cabinets). They are a true white, very bright, and I was lucky they were just the length I needed. I just ordered a set and had them shipped to my mom's as her halogen transformer which is buried in a wall, fried and I drives me nuts that the workspace on the counter is dark. I can't wait until I make the 250-mile drive to install them. I may buy more just to use at our listings!" —pauly

Get a 10' strand with 60 lights from Amazon for $19.96 (available in warm or white light; you can also get an outlet version).

Promising review: "I usually buy bedding from Pottery Barn because of the excellent quality. I did however fall in love with this pattern and decided to take a chance for the value, especially since the inside of the duvet cover comes with loops to attach to the comforter. The duvet set arrived in one day and was nicely packaged. The quality is excellent and the pattern is beyond my expectations. This is better than Pottery Barn!" —LA

Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in 19 patterns and two sizes).

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adazzle

Get 10 sq. ft from Amazon for $77.99.

Promising review: "The rug looks just like the pictures. Pretty and a little boho. There was a bit of 'shedding' here and there but not much. I would recommend a rug pad as it does slip around on hard floors. The size is perfect for in front of my kitchen sink as it's longer than a standard mat." —JM

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five sizes).

This small business is based in LA and owned by florist, Ana. The shop has bridal bouquets, boutonnières, accessories, and decorative bouquets – all made with colorful dried flowers.

Promising review: "This was exactly what I wanted! Looks so cute and I feel like it is very good quality. The flowers didn't immediately feel like if I touched them they would disintegrate. The bud vase is so cute too!" —Claire Eagle

Get it from Everlasting Lil Things on Etsy for $27+ (available with or without a vase).

Promising review: "This is the second privacy screen I've purchased from Amazon. I have an area in my garden visible from the street. The screen hides all my gardening stuff (i.e. wheelbarrow, buckets, etc.). It truly looks like the real deal!!!" —soooz

Promising review: "I never could get my old toaster clean, and it was getting sad. I do not like sad toast. This charmer is lovely to look at, and does a great job making toast that is just the right shade of lovely brown. A chart comes with the toaster. I find I needed to set it a little higher to get the toasty goodness I desired. Goes beautifully with my vintage glass dishes. I feel so retro I may need to invest in a frilly apron." —Margaret C.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "I love it! I bought this to replace a smaller rug I had in the space. This has nice, vivid colors. I definitely needed the felt pad I ordered under it due to how thin it is, but so did my last rug. This is a lovely rug at a nice price, and I did some serious looking around before making this purchase." —Angelle

Get it from Amazon for $31.21+ (available in 18 designs and numerous sizes/shapes).

Promising review: "Love! I’ve been using decals to brighten up boring spaces for a while. So far these are my favorite. They're super easy to put together. They stick to the wall super well and they look great! I ended up buying five packages to cover the entire wall and had about two sheets left over. I love my new bedroom!" —Brynn Delgado

Get it from Amazon for $11.36.

Promising review: "I LOVE this canopy! It's great for the price. It takes a minute to figure out which way it goes on the bed but don't get discouraged, you’ll figure it out. This is meant to hang from the ceiling but you can make it work on posts. I tied the hook strings around the bed post and it holds great. It's a great canopy." —Shonteka

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "It is really beautiful, I'd like it even if I didn't have a cat! LOL. There is a plastic double decker one like this but my Norwegian Forest cat can knock it over and destroy it. This one has multiple balls. It is solid wood, very durable, and very stable. I love this! If they ever make one even bigger I'd buy it in a heart beat. This size would even work for kittens." —Anna Aryeh

Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It's heavy and not cheap-looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it's done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don't hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" —Celeste C

Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in multiple shapes and sizes).

Promising review: "This is a great side table! It fits perfectly with my chairs and the style gets many compliments. Extremely stable. Top is not perfectly flat, but flat enough to sit items on." —KingKarl

BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah!

Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors).

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DirecTV." —Karebow

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in six finishes).

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 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

I have a coffee table from this San Diego-based small biz and I LOVE it. I am an unapologetic maximalist — my apartment is chock-full of eye-catching decor that's all fighting to be the statement-making centerpiece of my home, but this coffee table is officially the winner. The table is completely leak free, and the draining valve keeps me from overwatering my furniture (a thing that is possible with this table, because the future is now). Be sure to check out the site's Instagram for inspiration!

Get it from BloomingTables for $389 (available in two colors).

I recently moved into a new apartment with windows in awkward areas, making my living room darker than it should be during the day. I got this so I could bounce some light from the windows to the other end of the room and it works perfectly! It was one of the first things I put up in my living room and I instantly started getting compliments on it (even though the room is *still* mostly full of unopened boxes).

Promising review: "This is definitely the most I’ve ever spent on a mirror but I’m super pleased with it! The reflection is great and I didn't notice any flaws or warping. I would highly recommend." —Annalee

Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in three colors).

This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

Promising review: "For the price you can't beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this light. Makes the kitchen look awesome, the light is bright and did I mention it was super easy to install." —Robin L–B

Get it from Amazon for $86.98.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this wallpaper! At a glance, it seems textured as if it is fabric. Very easy to stick on and peel off to reposition as necessary. It did not lose its adhesion in the process. Once it was on, it stuck in well. Our walls are kind of textured but they wasn't a problem, it went on perfectly." —bookworm

Get it from Amazon for $24.94+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "The couch is exactly as pictured. It has lots of sitting room and I love the pillows it comes with. It's super comfortable and has very deep seats. It's amazing." —Tylal

Promising review: "This is a beautiful shower head, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a shower head?" —Sadda Reddy

Into supporting woman-owned businesses? Start with this terrific tree-saving TP! Founder Samira Far has created a must-try line of toilet paper that's good lookin' AND good for the Earth!

Promising review: "I originally bought this toilet paper to save trees, but it is high-quality TP! I use fewer sheets at a time as the paper is thick and I love soft ridges on one side. It is soft, thick, and cleans really well. Highly recommended and will continue to use!" —Ellen D.
