Ever take a look around your space and feel stuck? Whether you’re a renter or you own your home, making changes can feel overwhelming — especially when an entire overhaul is too expensive and timely to consider. But your home should be your sanctuary, and just a few stylish upgrades can be the difference between cluttered and curated.

These luxe home decor finds span furniture, soft goods, lighting fixtures, and other trinkets and are guaranteed to make your space feel that much fresher — just in time for spring.

Moroccan Rug

This hand-knotted Moroccan rug offers such a stunning foundation that it almost won’t matter what the rest of your bedroom looks like. Made from natural, un-dyed wool, each rug is crafted by artisans in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Layer it over carpeting for a quick fix — or take the weekend to uncover the laminate underneath.

Unique Vase

Maybe you didn’t have a borosilicate glass vase inspired by the life stages of a snail (yup — seriously) on your must-buy list. But you absolutely should.

Bouclé Daybed

The iconic Barcelona tufted daybed is great and all, but this bouclé-and-burl style is an unexpected and modern addition to any living room or study.

Soho Home Olivier Daybed, $2,495

Elevated Glass Set

You’d be surprised how much better it feels to drink out of a cup that resembles a piece of art. You can also repurpose one as a makeshift rosebud vase, too.

Material The Full Glass Set, $65

Linen Pillows

Sure, this heavyweight linen pillow is technically made for the bed, but the refined, garment-dyed taupe hue can make any couch or daybed look that much more indulgent.

Bauhaus Toilet Paper Holder

Maybe you’ve never thought twice about your toilet paper roll. (If so, more power to you.) This Bauhaus-inspired one will upgrade your powder room in seconds.

Linen Curtains

If you’ve yet to upgrade your window treatments, say hello to your new weekend project. These semi-sheer natural flax curtains let light in while providing a natural hint of dreamy luxury to any room.

Playful Stool

Ditch the cheap foldable step stool that’s shoved in the nearest corner. Instead, keep this Konstantin Grcic-designed style next to your closet for hard-to-reach items. (And when it’s not in use, add a vase with fresh florals and it becomes a makeshift nightstand.)

VITRA Blue Chap Stool, $145

Arched Headboard

Ditch the dust collectors that are you nightstands for this two-in-one headboard and watch the way your entire bedroom transforms.

Linen Sheet Set

Linen sheets are a warm weather must-have thanks to their cooling effect, but this taupe hue adds a hint of delightful warmth, too. (Even more: The luxe natural texture only gets better with every wash.)

Banana Republic Fine Linen Sheet Set, $350

Rattan Basket

For the love of all things good, please hide your wires.

NEAT Method Reeded Rattan Storage Basket, $68

Pendant Light

Recess lighting is great, but why not design your dining area more intentionally? This large-scale pendant light is crafted from recycled water bottles, and is made to evoke a dress mid-twirl.

Design Within Reach Dancing Pendant, $1,100
BUY

Coat Rack

Have a small space with no room for a coat rack? This wall-mounted hook trio offers an artful solution.

Lievore, Altherr, & Molina Wing Wall Mounted Coat Rack, $507

Linen Duvet Cover

Don’t stop at the sheet set. A matching duvet cover completes the bed — and makes even the most cluttered room feel put-together. For that lived-in effect you see in magazines, crumple the duvet in arbitrary sections after it’s on the bed.

Banana Republic Fine Linen Duvet Cover, $310

Checkered Bath Mat

Stop putting down a ratty towel every time you take a shower and indulge in a cushy (and machine-washable) bath mat instead.

MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check Large Bath Rug, $158
BUY
