18 Hidden Gems on Amazon That Will Instantly Make Your House Look Expensive
Is our Pinterest home suddenly … achievable?
by The Candidly Team
Looking expensive is a sort of dumb way to say it, because all we really want is for our homes to just look good.
And piling up our homes with more stuff isn’t gonna do that.
It’s actually achieved by thinking about these 3 key ideas:
Having a place for everything (aka hiding some of our stuff and having organization systems for the rest of it)
Having the prettiest versions of the key things we all need to live (mirrors etc)
Collecting unique bits and bobs, so that our homes look different and weird and fun and joyful
Enter Amazon. Yes! You can get so many of these types of things on Amazon and still have a home that looks wildly, effortlessly luxe.
Here’s 19 of our favorites:
1. This Vase Set that’s like 3 times the price anywhere else
