I have a luxury taste on a tight budget – these are my favorite Amazon home decor pieces that look expensive (but really aren't)
Are you sleeping on Amazon's home decor? I was too. Here’s everything I'm adding to my cart this weekend
Over time, Amazon has become one of my go-to retailers for its affordable, eye-catching, and always-evolving home decor selection.
I know, I'm as surprised as you are. But from bedroom essentials to charming design accessories, Amazon hasn’t let me down yet. And as long as you know where to look, (and scour the reviews) finding home decor on the site has never been easier.
If you’re a bit intimidated by Amazon’s home decor selection, you’re not alone – with so many vendors and products to choose from, it’s easy to get lost. And because the online marketplace has a bit of everything (including the not-so-chic), it hasn’t always been my go-to for interior design refreshes.
So to help us all out, I've done a little deep-dive on your behalf and have spent the last 48 hours scrolling to curate the best edit of Amazon home decor pieces so good, you'll struggle to believe they're from Amazon.
The Best Amazon Home Decor
Amazon Decor: Lighting
I actually buy most of my lighting on Amazon lighting deal days like the Prime Day sale (which sadly has ended but some deals are still hanging about!) and I'm always on the lookout for unique sconces, table lamps, and ceiling lights that I can bring into my home on a budget.
Reminiscent of a rather expensive designer ceiling light, this flush star shaped light is going straight in my basket for the powder room. It's fully dimmable and makes a subtle statement overhead.
Amazon Decor: Throw Pillows and Blankets
Throw blankets and pillows are some of the easiest items to swap out as the seasons change. I often look to Amazon for pillow inserts as they're just so cost-effective, but I wasn't aware they had such a great selection of pillow covers too. I'm impressed.
This set of 2 terracotta-brown pillow covers are coming straight home with me. I'm looking to layer them up with some gingham and stripes for a cozy, fall-ready sofascape.
With various boho or farmhouse themed patterns, these rustic throw blankets are made to create a whimsical pattern on your bed or couch. And according to the reviews, they're also super soft.
Perfect for a coastal or farmhouse-style living room, these ruffle cotton pillow covers have soft ruffled edges and a simple gingham to create a relaxed and casual look. Be sure to order pillow inserts for these.
Amazon Decor: Decorative Accessories
It's hard work sourcing delightful and unique decor accessories for your home. From thrifting to shopping high street brands, it takes time. But luckily Amazon has some really great pieces, they'll all in one place, and you can get them super quick with Prime. I so prefer to shop this way.

Whether you sit these in your porch, entryway, or on top of a table, these modern farmhouse lanterns are sure to add a lovely touch. Note: each lantern comes with an LED candles that require 3 AAA batteries each.
This farmhouse-inspired mango wood tray is great for creating a vignette on the coffee or console table, or to be used as a small fruit bowl on your kitchen island.
If you love coastal decor, you'll love this calm shell bowl. Perfect on its own to add to your shelf vignettes, or as a bowl to house beauty products, keys and glasses at the door, or even as a fruit bowl.
Amazon Decor: Curtains
Fun fact: Amazon do some of the best window treatments and curtains. From light-filtering sheers to more sensible kitchen curtains and practical blinds. These are the best I've found on sale now.
Add some romantic texture to your window treatment ideas with these ruffle-edged curtains. These soft flowy curtains not only provide privacy, but help to filter sunlight, allowing a soft glow to fill the room.
The standout feature of these French Door curtain panels (which is already genius in itself) is the built-in sticky straps that allow you to easily install the blackout curtain. You can tie up the curtain with the pretty ties for more light or let it down for full privacy.
Amazon Decor: Rugs
Having just laid new flooring downstairs in my home, I'm on the hunt for the very best rugs. I don't have time for anything that won't last long, so I've rounded up rugs that are durable and easily cleaned (including machine-washable) because we can all appreciate a low-maintenance purchase.
Made in India from 100% Jute, this classic fleatweave checkerboard rug has a low pile which makes it great for underneath furniture – and for vacuuming.
