2.A color-changing LED lamp so you can switch up the hue depending on your ~mood.~ There are millions of color combos to choose from, but if you're anything like me, you'll use the same three on rotation.

3.A floral doormat that says you're really in the mood to have guests over to enjoy a wholesome afternoon sharing stories and drinking tea. If you're not feeling too welcoming one day, maybe just hide it inside.

4.A shower curtain with a monkey using a blow-dryer because why not have a shower curtain with a monkey using a blow-dryer on it? It's fun, it's bold, and it'll be the talking point at your next dinner party.

5.An iridescent window film to give you some privacy while refracting a glistening rainbow into your space. It'll look great in any room of the house, and if you don't fancy putting it on your windows, it works just as well on glass doors and cabinets.

Promising review: "The film is so perfect for my windows. Our house faces a busy road that allows car passengers to look directly into our rooms. We wanted the light to come in, and the film not only does that but creates a unique color effect with the changing sunlight." —Anita Mae Platt

Price: $19.99+ (originally $32.99+; available in six sizes)

6.A faux olive tree that will transport you straight to a Greek garden and might even convince you to book your dream vacation every time you look at it.

8.A set of six rainbow whiskey glasses so you can sip your favorite beverage in a kaleidoscope of colors. Plus, they're perfect for klutzy people who are prone to knocking over stemmed glasses (I'm talking about myself).

Promising review: "Super happy to have gotten this beautiful banana wallpaper! It literally pops out!! After putting it up, it complemented the entire living room on a whole new level. I didn’t expect it to look this good, but looking at it, I keep falling more and more in love!! It gives such tropical vibes. We are super ecstatic. If you’re looking to go outside your comfort zone, this is a great piece to have up. It will not disappoint!!" —Neshat

Price: $39.99+ (available in four colors)

10.A vibrant trinket dish to hold all your bits and bobs — I'm talkin' keys, sunglasses, hair ties, bobby pins, jewelry — and look darn good while doing it. It may be a small decor item, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for big time in its eclectic and ~wild~ style.

11.A set of four vivid planters because style definitely makes all of the difference when it comes to displaying your plants and flowers. Not a floral person? Just use them as pots for your favorite plants — real or faux! Multipurpose products at their finest.

19.A luxurious-looking velvet sofa that'll make you feel like you live in a multi-million-dollar penthouse. As comfy as it looks, this will replace the lived-in couch that saw you through college with something uber chic. The best thing? You can fold the cushions down and turn it into a sofa bed.
