You’ve probably seen them on social media feeds everywhere, taking up the bulk of your future home Pinterest boards and somehow seeming wildly out of reach. I'm talking about spaces — more specifically, spaces that look like they came straight out of a home catalog. While these all-marble kitchens and picturesque living rooms are likely put together by an interior designer, sometimes it's easier to do it on your own (and for half the price). That, my friend, is the beauty of the Amazon essentials listed here.
Hint: It's actually possible to design your home with a curation of online finds, from vegan leather pillow covers and flameless candles to sleek record holders and TV backlights. There's something for the DIY aficionado (peep: peel-and-stick wallpaper), as well as the novelty item enthusiast (the spilled wine holder, of course). All you have to do is add these items to cart and put them together. Then, you've got yourself a pad that's both photo-worthy and delivered to your mailbox in two to five business days (shipping times may vary, of course).
The best part? There are more unique home additions than you probably thought possible. If there’s anything I know to be true, it’s that endless choices are Amazon’s specialty. So if you're looking to spruce up the living quarters, worry not. The options here can help.

The throw pillow covers that are made with vegan leather
