There’s something about the beginning of the new year that always makes me look around my life and want to give it a few upgrades. If you’ve been feeling like your home is lacking a little “something something,” but you’re not quite sure what, adding a few decor upgrades can really refresh the space and make it feel more complete. But these decor upgrades don’t have to cost a fortune. There are a ton of great products on Amazon that look super expensive, even if their price is not.

Here are 11 products from Amazon that’ll spruce up your space and make your home feel more put together — all under $30.

  1. Simply putting this La Jolie Muse Sahara Amber Candle on a table or dresser will bring more glam to the room. Not only will it add ambiance when it’s lit, but the embossed hobnails of the jar and lid make it stand out when it’s not.

  1. If your bed is lacking warmth (both figuratively and literally), drape this Amelie Home Chenille Waffle Throw Blanket over the end of it. It’ll add some texture to the space and will be easy to grab at night when you’re chilly.
