Throw pillows are possibly the easiest way to update the look of your living room at the turn of the season, and this scalloped style (which comes in a set of two) feels playful, yet still effortlessly premium. There are 13 different colorways to choose from, as well as different sizes available. Customers love them, with an average of 4.5/5 stars after almost 500 ratings, and they're currently 30% off, so now is the time to buy a few different colors to see you through the year.

Travertine has an inherently expensive-looking quality, and this piece is no exception. It's often the little details that people don't think of that help to make a space feel more considered and well-designed. Having a special place to store matches for lighting your candles certainly ticks that box. It could equally sit on your bathroom vanity to hold your toothbrush, or your desk for pens. With over 100 orders in the past month alone, and a solid 4.9/5 star rating, what's not to love?

Want another top secret for shopping Amazon home decor? It's looking at the site's 'Premium Decor' section. That's where you'll find this stylish burled wood box, that's perfect for keepsakes, coffee table styling, holding jewelry, and more. If I were to buy this, I'd use it to hide away my TV remotes on my coffee table. It's available in two different sizes, and has been designed by a small business called Alice Lane Home Collection, so it's as close to buying one-off pieces as you can get on Amazon. There aren't many reviews, but customers have rated this piece highly, saying: "The fit and finish is flawless done."

A candle snuffer — do you need one? Honestly, no. But does it make your interiors look more thoughtful and expensive? Without a doubt. This stunning design has been crafted from real brass and finished with an antique-like feel, making it look like something you'd pick up in a flea market in Paris. Snuffing your candles properly rather than just blowing them out, also actually helps them last longer, so if you need a practical reason to add this to your cart, there's always that.

Did you know you can buy top-shelf brands like Diptyque on Amazon? And for a discounted price, no less. I hardly have to convince you why you should buy their signature Baies Candle while it's on sale — it is the brand's signature for a reason. They also stock a few other scents there, as well as their room sprays, some perfumes, body lotions, and gift sets (Christmas is coming!)

These Amazon throw pillows might be faux leather, but you’d never know it. The subtle crinkles and imperfections of real hide are replicated perfectly. With 796 rave reviews, it’s clear that the covers don’t look or feel cheap in the slightest — especially at this price point, which is hard to beat. They add a nice luxe contrast to cozy fall knits and bouclé textures. Personally, I’m all about the black (my favorite), but the burgundy was a close contender — cabernetcore fans, go for that one.

Allow me to explain. To the untrained eye, this set of three candle holders might skew a bit kitschy, but styled in the right environment, they can give off serious Schiaparelli-esque vibes. If you’re unfamiliar, just know that’s an incredibly high and ornate compliment. I’d lean into the surrealist vibe with other gilded or avant-garde objects — think Jonathan Adler. With a 4.5/5 star rating and over 220 reviews, it's clear I'm not the only one with this vision.

Price: $23.99

Now, these studded Amazon vases had me fooled — I thought they were Baccarat at first glance. Each one is made from soda-lime glass, which may not be the ultra-pure, ultra-sparkling variety of the pricier versions, but to be blunt: 99.99% of people won’t know the difference. Actually, they may be even better because they come in more colors! Choose from amber, black, blue, or red for an elegantly edgy centerpiece that looks like it walked straight out of a design showroom.

Shopping for rugs on Amazon may seem like a futile exercise, but you can actually find some of the best rugs there. For instance, a lot of the Amber Lewis x Loloi collection is available to shop on Amazon, so you can be sure you're making a safe and considered purchase. (Especially now they're on sale.) My pick would be the Denim/Spice area rug from their Georgie collection, that will instantly warm up a space and bring a well-loved old-world charm. This style has 4.3/5 stars and over 1,200 ratings, with over 50 rugs bought in the past month alone. There are also plenty of other colors and sizes to pick from.

I never thought I’d be so excited over a colander, but here we are. Red swirl. Porcelain enamel over steel. It’s just so good. You’ll probably want to leave this beauty out on your countertop or open shelving. The next time you drain your pasta, prepare for compliments. Truly a collector’s item. And yes, it’s dishwasher safe — and, if for some reason you feel the urge to microwave it, it can handle that, too!

I will never not suggest adding a cowhide element to your home. In my professional opinion (and maybe it's the horse girl in me), cowhide instantly transforms a house into a home. I’ve got a smaller version of this rug draped over one of my best accent chairs next to me as I write, but for fall, I’m all about the medium size — perfect for placing in front of the fireplace or at the foot of the bed. Don’t worry about it looking too Western; while it’s rustic and inviting, it pairs beautifully with sleek, modern pieces like lacquer decor, creating a compelling contrast.

The Bauhaus revival is probably my favorite design comeback of the past decade — it ties the line between simplicity and charm. Case in point: this S-shaped candle warmer lamp. Its modern yet approachable design, especially in the cat’s eye orange hue creates an artful and welcoming mood. Perfect for pairing with geometric forms and your carefully curated bookshelf. Bonus points: not only does it look good, but it’s also a safer, more eco-friendly way to enjoy your favorite fall candles (an everyday necessity this season).

These 3-in-1 serving plates remind me of a luxury cocktail lounge — the sort of establishment where drinks are $27+, but hey, at least the snacks are free! Now, you can recreate that same luxe atmosphere for your guests (or for your own cheeky 4 p.m. snack break) by filling these chic dishes with finger foods: chips, wasabi peas, popcorn — you name it. Dips? Absolutely. And if you’re feeling particularly fancy, these petite plates are perfect for a little caviar service.

I love floor lamps that hunch over, almost as if they’re "hugging" the space above a sofa or side table (perhaps even the one from earlier!). It creates the illusion of intimacy without crowding your living room — it feels effortlessly lived in. Lamps of this size can easily run you $400+, so when I spotted this one (available in silver, too) for under $200 with a glowing 4.6/5 star rating, I nearly fell out of my chair. It’s perfect for setting the mood on those cool autumn evenings.

Price: $16.98

I actually just bought these (one of the occupational hazards of my job). They remind me of a classic hotel — specifically imagining Eloise at the Plaza — with their pink stripes and thick borders. And the pile height?! Let’s just say, at $16.98, they look way more expensive than they actually are. I get it — pink’s a bold choice for some, but I think these retro bathroom accessories would look incredibly chic paired with black marble countertop decor or even black tiles and floors. It’s the contrast that makes it pop!
