Someone asked again last week where our new silverware set came from, and the answer was the one we always give now: Amazon, under $100. Turns out, we’ve rounded up this all-around house — bonus room, kitchen, everywhere — affordable Amazon home decor that reads more expensive than it is. Every piece on this list is under $100, from lighting to curtains to the little finishing touches a room needs.
Nadia Swing Arm Floor Lamp
When I was in Europe last summer, there were low lights on every corner. So now I do, and I GET IT. Layered lighting is what makes a room feel finished, and you can never have too many lights.

Striped Cordless Roman Shade
This is a doubly good take for those in Polly’s room – they are brave enough on their own, or well placed with a curtain. Comes in custom widths.

8 Pcs Artificial Nandina Berry Stem
A wonderful double take on my favorite dusty plum stems (I did a side by side comparison and they are identical). This set of eight titles costs the same as one original title.

THREE GIRLS Pinch Flower Pinch Pleated Blackout Curtains
Not only are these curtains small – usually reserved for custom, pricey curtains – but the pattern is amazing. Not only are these pinch pleats – usually reserved for custom curtains, expensive – but the pattern is amazing. They make such a statement, you’d never guess they’re under $70 for these two.

Jute 7′ Runner
A rug runner is almost always the missing piece in a long hallway, on the stairs, behind the kitchen island. I even rolled one to fill the space next to a large area rug.

Shagreen Decorative Storage Boxes
Decorative boxes are my way of hacking organized chaos – remove whatever you need within reach but don’t want to create clutter. We keep ours on the desk to hide cords, Sharpies, and other daily necessities.

Wood Grain Bakelite Silverware Set
Life is too short for lightweight, metallic-tasting silverware. These have a rich wood-look handle, feel strong in your hand, and add great warmth to the table. The best part? They are dishwasher safe, so you can use them every day.

Wood and Gold Table Frame
A tablet gallery is usually a layer that stays inside, which does not make sense the room is missing. Family photos, old snapshots, and favorite memories quickly make a space feel personal and collected.

Flameless Pillar Candles
I love adding ambiance candles, and while nothing beats the real thing, these are a very close second. The real flameless candles we found also make any room feel warmer, cozier, and more romantic.

Gold Kitchen Barstools
Mixed metals make a room sing, and these deliver brass at a price you can fill an entire island with. Also, they are adjustable in length. Less warmth, less light, and more work.

Rechargeable Patio Umbrella Lights
The missing piece in our yard were lighted umbrellas. No new umbrellas are needed. Some of these small improvements make a surprisingly big difference after the sun goes down.

Utopia Down Duvet Insert
The duvet insert is so good we have repurchased it five times (and counting). Fluffy without being too hot, big without feeling heavy, and the reason our beds always feel inviting at hotel level.

It’s affordable, wireless, ships fast, and is available in different levels of room blackout. We have purchased these roman shades for many rooms because they look custom without the custom price tag.
