Sometimes you just want to give your home a little bit of a makeover. A new throw pillow here, a cool mirror there, some added storage, and maybe even a plant or two. But all of these things add up — not to mention, stopping in all your favorite stores to find exactly the right things takes a lot of effort, too. So, I'll let you in on a little secret: Amazon actually has a surprising amount of stylish home decor products (including a few of their own furniture and decor lines!), and a lot of them are super affordable, too. Meaning, you can give your home a chic refresh without ever stepping outside — and without spending your life savings while you're at it.
Of course, Amazon can be a lot to search through, so save yourself some time, and check out these top picks below. If you love to browse, though, you can head to Amazon's home decor page and shop by room, product type, and style, and narrow things down by your preferred price point
A Small Air Purifier with Powerful Purification

This air purifier may be compact, but it has powerful purification abilities to filter out pet dander, dust particles, smoke, and foul smells from your space with a three-stage filtration system. We consider this one of the best air purifiers you can buy, especially for the bedroom. The noise level can get as quiet as 25db, so it will probably sound more like you have a white noise machine turned on rather than an air purifier. One reviewer writes: “This is life changing. Before I purchased, I had trouble sleeping with nasal problems. After a week of using this while sleeping, I can actually breathe and get a full 8 hours of sleep.”
Fabric Resistance Bands to Level Up Your At-Home Workout
Te-Rich Resistance Bands
With over 1,300 five-star reviews, these resistance bands are one of Amazon’s best-selling sports items this week. You’ve probably seen rubber resistance bands before, which aid in stretching as well as home body weight workouts but tend to snap or roll up when you use them. This option from Te Rich is made from cotton fabric and latex, so you’ll reap all the benefits of rubber resistance bands without the pinching and rolling. Reviewers note that the bands are durable and significantly more comfortable to use than their rubber counterparts.
An Ergonomic Mouse to Reduce Wrist & Finger Pain
Anker Wireless Ergonomic Mouse
If you’ve started to notice that working from home all day on a computer has resulted in weird pains you’ve never experienced before, there are a handful of changes you can make from a more supportive office chair to an ergonomic keyboard. But one of the cheapest changes you can make? Investing in an ergonomic mouse. Take it from somebody who’s on the computer for upwards of eight hours a day and has double jointed thumbs and arms: An ergonomic mouse can significantly reduce any strange pains in your fingers, hands, or wrists that you may have been noticing lately.
This particular option has over 5,000 five-star ratings. While some reviewers complain about the longevity of the device, most appreciate the comfort of use and how the mouse alleviates pain — as well as top-notch customer service from Anker.
A Washable, Multi-Use Face Mask
Doerix Washable Neck Gaiter
A top seller in Amazon’s clothing section this week, this sun protective neck gaiter face covering is also included in our list of the best face masks you can buy on Amazon right now. Unlike the more typical cloth face masks that loop around your ears, neck gaiters are made from stretchy fabric and remain in place due to tension. They can also be worn as head bands, hoods, or neck coverings when not needed to cover your mouth and nose. This particular style offers 30 different fun prints, from colorful starburst to palm prints to abstract patterns.
A Portable Air Conditioner for Staying Cool
SereneLife SLPAC10 10,000 BTU Portable 3-in-1 Air Conditioner
AMAZON
SereneLife SLPAC10 10,000 BTU Portable 3-in-1 Air Conditioner for Rooms Up to 450 Sq. Ft
One of the most clicked-on products we featured last week in our popular list of the best portable air conditioners, this SereneLife AC unit is one of the more affordable portable AC options for large rooms. The unit has three cooling modes: One that cools, one that dehumidifies, and another that pushes air around with its fan. Measuring at just under three feet tall and 13 inches wide, it’s a compact device that won’t take up too much room or be an eye sore. Reviewers like the evaporative dry function, which means you don’t have to empty any water trays.
An Air Fryer for Healthy Summer Cooking
Philips Turbostar Digital Air Fryer
Now that it’s the middle of summer, you’re probably not as excited to turn on the oven (which may mean your quarantine bread-making days may be behind you). But if you’re still in need of a new cooking project, consider an air fryer. Air fryers use less cooking oil than traditional cooking methods and are compact so they won’t overheat your kitchen.
The Philips Turbostar Digital Air Fryer is our pick for the overall best air fryer. It has spacious 2.75-quart capacity and is designed to cook foods more easily. This air fryer comes with a recipe book with over 200 recipes and has a unique “keep warm” function, so you can keep food warm for up to half an hour after cooking it. Another perk? It’s currently $70 off the list price at Amazon.
A No-Touch Thermometer
iHealth No-Touch Digital Thermometer
For obvious and good reasons, thermometers are some of the hottest products of the year, no pun intended. While it’s imperative to have a thermometer (no-touch or not) on hand, no-touch thermometers are more convenient than traditional oral thermometers, and may help minimize spread of germs according to the CDC.
This infrared thermometer takes forehead temperatures in one second using a temperature sensor, distance sensor, and environmental temperature compensation sensors for more accurate readings. One reviewer wrote: “I'[ve been] a Family Practitioner PA for the past 38 years and cannot tolerate an incorrect temperature reading. This is right on compared to both a glass and digital thermometer. Takes only a second to work and it even works with a moving target.”
A Sustainable Alternative to Single-Use Plastic Food Storage
Stasher Reusable Food Bag
These 100% silicone reusable food bags were featured on Amazon Launchpad’s Best Sellers list and are our pick for the best reusable silicone bags. The bags are BPA, PVC, and latex-free so you and your food will be safe from any chemicals and contaminants. The pinch-lock seal keeps everything airtight and the food-grade silicone bags can be placed in the freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and oven up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
DEET-Free Mosquito Repellent
Thermacell Mosquito Repellent
This DEET-free, armored portable mosquito repellent is one of our picks for the best camping gadgets to bring on your next outdoor adventure, and was one of the most-clicked products from our site this past weekend. The device creates 15-feet of invisible protection that will ward off mosquitos for up to 12 hours on one fuel cartridge without the need for harsh chemicals like DEET to be applied to your skin or clothes. A blue LED light will alert you when fuel runs out and the included belt clip ensures that you can use this device hands-free.
A Motivational Water Bottle
Bottled Joy Water Bottle
In the past 24 hours, this water bottle moved up in rank from #1,362 in Amazon’s Sports & Outdoors category to an impressive #3, increasing in sales by 45,300% according to the retailer. Although the CDC notes that there is no recommendation for how much plain water adults and youth should drink daily, there are recommendations for total water intake that can be obtained from different beverages and foods; plain water is a good source because it has zero calories.
This 32-ounce water bottle is BPA-free, designed with a strap for extra portability, and has motivational time marks printed on the bottle so you can get a better idea of how much water you have or haven’t been drinking throughout the day. The bottle has a flip-top lid and is leak-proof for added convenience. It also has a strainer that lets you infuse your water with fresh fruits to boost your total water intake.
A Smart Speaker to Make Your Life a Little Easier
Amazon Echo Dot 3rd-Gen
Make your life a little easier with the help of this popular smart speaker. The 3rd-generation Amazon Echo Dot is compact and has richer sound quality than its predecessor; it’s also ranked #1 on Amazon’s electronics best-sellers list right now.
You can use the voice control feature to play some music from your Spotify or Apple Music playlists, or to control compatible smart home devices such as an Amazon smart plug (which can schedule when lights, fans, and other appliances turn on and off). You can also use multiple speakers as high-tech walkie talkies to communicate with your family members at home and throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
Easy-to-Use Hand Sanitizer Spray
Suave Hand Sanitizer Spray
As of this week, four hand sanitizers are among Amazon’s top trending products — and most of them are already sold out. However this pack of six Suave Hand Sanitizer Sprays, which we recently featured, is still available for purchase at least for now. Reviewers like that it’s scent-free, easy to user, and represents a good value. We highly recommend buying sooner rather than later because it’s likely to sell out again, especially after increasing in sales by 1,248%.
A Face Sunscreen for Sensitive or Acne-Prone Skin
EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen
Wearing sunscreen is imperative not only during the summer, but throughout the year. EltaMD’s UV Clear Facial Sunscreen is SPF 46, so it’ll withstand harsher UVA and UVB rays and is beloved by both customers and dermatologists alike, so it’s not surprising that this sunscreen is featured on our list of the best face sunscreens for every skin type according to dermatologists.
This particular sunscreen is formulated with transparent zinc oxide so you won’t have to worry about going out in public with white streaks down your face, and the sunscreen has been formulated with niacinamide (also known as vitamin B3) to calm and protect sensitive and acne-prone skin.
A Portable Shower for Camping Trips, Pet Showers, or the Beach
Iron Hammer Portable Rechargeable Camp Shower
One of the most popular products in our recent feature on camping gadgets, this rechargeable battery-operated camp shower works by pump, and has a built in filtration system if clean water isn’t available. While obviously great for camping, it also has use-cases for beach trips, or showering your dog in the backyard.
A Fender Amplifier to Turn The Volume Up
Fender Frontman Electric Guitar Amplifier
This small Fender amp is one of Amazon’s best selling products in the Musical Instrument category. While technically suited for the beginner electric guitarist, you could use this amp if you’re playing other electric instruments like the bass guitar or piano. One long-time musician wrote that this amp has “Great sound, decent overdrive, loads of volume” and considers it worth the price.
A Satin Pillowcase to Protect Your Face and Hair
Bedsure Satin Pillowcase
These satin pillowcases are currently Amazon’s fifth best-selling product in home and kitchen. That’s not surprising, considering how many people may be looking to protect their hair from breakage in between salon visits or just sprucing up their bedrooms after all this time spent at home. Satin pillow cases are significantly cheaper than silk options, but claim to hold some of the same benefits, such as supposedly preventing wrinkles and protecting hair from damage due to less friction.null
