14 Pieces of Decor Under $50 That Will Seriously Upgrade Your Home
We’ve been staring at the same throw pillow for too long.
Peel and Stick Tile Backsplash
Promising Review: “Just put this tile up in my RV bathroom as a vanity backsplash. Was easy to cut and install and you can even pull up the paper if you accidentally stick it in the wrong spot! People have come to visit and have actually thought it was real tile. Of course it doesn't feel like real tile but it looks pretty darn close. Great for RV renovations since it is super lite weight and easy to install!” — JLB
Editor’s Thoughts: We used this backsplash and some foam boards for a quick DIY backdrop and we were pleasantly surprised. While very light, the reflective material looks realistic and beautiful, no masonry required.

Seems durable and well constructed and just a neat little box to store your essentials.” — Debra

8. Wireless Charger & Mousepad
Promising Review: “This mouse pad was everything I expected and more. I have been using it for awhile now and the material is a good quality that holds up. The cord that came with it is a good length for desktop use depending on your set up. If you have a vary desk with a tower you might run into some issues but it is USB type C so you can use another longer cord.” — Jay
Editor’s Thoughts: Start talking to us about our desk wire spaghetti going on and you’ll get us going. We love how sleekly we are able to charge our phones without getting caught up every time we lift up our phone to do something.

Editor’s Thoughts: This is not only a beautiful piece for our bathrooms, but so functional. We love how easy it is to clean with the removable tray at the bottom. Because tbh, a lot of gunk collects with wet toothbrushes.

10. mDesign Plastic Trash Can
Promising Review: “This is a nice little trashcan. It came securely packaged, and I haven't had any issue with the lid not functioning or cracking. When the bin is about 3/4 full the lid can sometimes get stuck 'open', which makes sense to me because you're pushing the lid down into the bin, where it encounters friction. For me, that just serves as a reminder to take the trash out on a reasonable schedule instead of playing a careful game of jenga with trash.” — Dane
Editor’s Thoughts: We loved this to collect our kitchen scraps. You know, the overwraps and produce stickers that you don’t want to walk all the way over to toss, but still hate piling up in the corner.

11. Acrylic Slim Plastic Trash Can
Promising Review: “You should pay attention to its size before buying, because it is really only suitable for small bathroom, if you don't mind its size, I highly recommend it! because it is really powerful, hidden toilet brushes and garbage bags can make my the bathroom look cleaner!of course, I prefer the toilet brush it contains, which is a bonus I did not expect!” — Cathy
Editor’s Thoughts: Huge fans of how thin this garbage can is, as it can fit in that little crevice between our toilet and bathtub wall. Always looking for things with cute little storage functions, this garbage can has a toilet brush holder and a little cubby for extra garbage bags!

12. Indoor Machine Washable Doormat
Promising Review: “Wonderful door rug. Pretty colours, soft under foot and doesnt budge even if my dog comes in skidding around the corner at full speed. Great value for the money.” — TSP
Editor’s Thoughts: We were tired of the eyesores and scratchiness of those brown coir doormats. This mat actually covers a fair amount of space and absorbs mud and other outdoor gunk without making it looked too stained. Being machine washable is also a fun perk that we’ve taken advantage of…many times…many many times.
