    Finding sleek organizers, chic upgrades, and elegant decor doesn’t always require a trip to a showroom. Each of the clever items below offers a quietly opulent vibe that’ll blend right in with every room in your home (and your yard, too). Everything feels so much more expensive than it is. Scroll on for your next favorite find.

    1A Loofah-Like Shower Mat With A Marbled Design

    With its marbled design, this shower mat doesn’t detract from your bathroom aesthetic. The material mimics a soft, squishy loofah — so it’s supportive underfoot — and this also makes it naturally nonslip for safety’s sake.

    2Golden Molding That Sticks In Place

    Don’t want to get on a pro’s wait-list for your next trim project? Grab this peel-and-stick variety to do it yourself. It can be used on walls, floors, furniture, tiles, and other surfaces (it’s flexible for rounded areas), and once in place, the golden shine won’t fade over time.

    3A Lattice Window Film For Privacy & More

    Not only does this lattice film elevate the look of an otherwise plain window, but it also has other perks.

The window film installs in mere minutes via static cling.

    4Aesthetic Pathway Lights That Are Solar Powered

    Good lighting makes a space, and that concept applies to the outdoors, too. These six solar lights put out a warm, inviting glow, and they’re powered entirely by the sun. “Aesthetically these lights are beautiful! I love the modern look and how sturdy they are,” wrote one fan.

    5Crystal Knobs To Freshen Up Furniture

    Tired of a furniture piece in your home? Rather than tossing it, try switching out the knobs to these hexagonal crystal ones to give it new life.

They can also be used on cabinets and there are a few colors to choose from.

    6Plug-In Night-Lights With A Gentle Glow

    These night-lights have a backlit design that diffuses the 16 LEDs inside — this means that they don’t shine uncomfortably bright. The two night-lights can be set to a motion-sensor mode, or there’s a night option to flip on automatically when it’s dark.

    7A Stone Bath Mat That Always Looks Dry

    Fabric bath mats take forever to dry, getting stinky as a result. This stone bath mat is different — it absorbs water as it drips off your body, yet it feels dry underfoot immediately. The mat is nonslip, simple to clean, and looks expensive.

    8Smooth Pillowcases Crafted From Pure Silk

    Make the switch to these ultra-smooth pillowcases that are made from pure mulberry silk. They feel luxurious but are also gentler on your hair and skin.

    12A Thin Concealer To Hide Unsightly Cords & Outlets

    When you have a bunch of stuff plugged into an outlet, it detracts from your home’s clean vibe. This outlet concealer is a simple fix: Plug it into the outlet to cover up the whole thing (it’s thin to blend in with the wall), then run the 3-foot power cord to a hidden spot to plug in electronics as normal.

    13Magnetic Garage Door Accents With A Cast-Iron Look

    Before you replace your unsightly garage door, try adding these decorative accents to make it appear more high-end.
