Upgrading your home can feel like a lot of work, but these peel-and-stick tiles will easily transform your space in a snap.

It took most reviewers less than an hour to completely revamp their desk, and it was two hours *tops* for others (depending on how much space you're redoing!). Psst — If you pick this up, check out this reviewer's great installation tips for applying it to a desk!

Promising review: "I do not have the money for a new vanity right now. Insert DIY project of covering my ugly pink bathroom vanity in marble contact paper. It looks 100% better, and it’s super durable. It’s a little tricky to work with at first, and then you get the hang of it. I’m buying more for my half bath! Update: My vanity still looks great a couple of months later! I decided to do my tabletop in my laundry room [above, right], and it looks great too! Tips: Make sure there is nothing on the surface, as bumps will show through with the tiniest of debris. Also, one roll is not enough; always buy more than you think you’ll need!" —Natalie Lamb

Promising review: "These are awesome! My son installed them with no problems. They look much more expensive than what they cost, function well, and I am so happy with this upgrade." —Gina C. Ashline

Get a set of 30 five-inch pulls from Amazon for $29.99 (also available individually and in smaller and larger pack sizes). 

Promising review: "I didn't think these would last through one Oklahoma Spring tornado season but they have. They were easy to install and very durable. They add a very unique touch to my new garage doors." —Lila S.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three hinge styles). 

These under-the-cabinet lights are battery-powered and come with a remote that will allow you to power them on and off, change their intensity, and set them to be motion-activated.

Promising review: "I just remodeled my kitchen and wanted lights under my cabinets to give it a cozy feel. I wanted something easy to install but effective. These lights are great! You can adjust the brightness and can even put them on a timer so they turn off on their own after 15, 30, or 60 minutes. They come with a sticky tape to attach to cabinets, but I also added sticky back Velcro, and they have stayed on perfectly. The company sent me an email offering any assistance if I should need it. I absolutely LOVE them and would recommend." —Lisa Corey

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99 (also available individually).

Promising review: "I live in an apartment community, and I wanted to find a solution to cover up my windows without using my blinds/curtains. Let me just say...wow! This beyond exceeded my expectations. Not only does it give me the privacy I need, but the way the lights reflect in the daytime AND nighttime is just breathtaking! In the morning, when the sun shines through, tiny little rainbows get cast all over the bedroom! At night, it looks so cozy, warm, and has a beautiful, realistic stained-glass look to it." —Katie Coyle

Get a roll from Amazon for $5.51+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "It's beautiful and installation was really easy. I love it. It is wonderful!!! The pattern changes color as the sun passes throughout the day. Really pretty." —Lily Fred

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four sizes and 16 designs). 

Promising review: "This reeded glass window film was very pretty when installed. Gave just the right amount of obscurity that still allowed in light but maintained privacy when viewing from the outside. I bought more of this and offered it to my son who is enjoying it at his apartment too. We used it on the bottom half of windows and kept the upper half of windows open, which was the exact problem this film solved. Lots of choices, too!" —Liza S

Get it from Amazon for $5.76+ (available in 12 sizes).

Promising review: "I live in an apartment so I didn’t want to damage my wall with nails and all that. So I’m very glad to have heard about this product. It was so easy to set up, it holds the weight of my blackout curtain and curtain rod well. I even pushed down on it a little to see how secure it was and it did not break. I definitely recommend it for anyone that is renting to keep the walls damage free." —Alyssa

Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (also available in other colors and styles). 

Each tile measures 12-inches by 12-inches. 

Promising review: "This brought new life to my super boring kitchen! This was much easier than I thought and was really worried about taking on this project but I'm glad I did. Took me over three hours from start to finish." —Blood Agent

Get six self-adhesive tiles from Amazon for $15.93+ (available in 16 styles).

Promising review: "I redid my entire bathroom! We moved into our home two years ago, and our small main-floor bathroom had hideous orange mosaic tiles. We want to eventually gut and revamp our bathroom, but wanted to give it a cheap facelift. Floorpops made that possible, and it's a very inexpensive option! We used caulk to seal some of the tiny gaps and caulked around the tub and underneath the baseboards for a good seal. The tiles are not moving at all and have adhered okay." —Agnieska

Get a pack of 10 tiles from Amazon for $15.74+ (available in two colors and three sizes). 

Promising review: "I was very skeptical, but also figured for [the price], what did I really have to lose. I am beyond blown away. It was super easy to trim to fit and apply to our black dishwasher, looks phenomenal, is super easy to clean, and while just a month into use is holding up really well. I worried the frequent sanitize loads we run and associated heat might compromise the adhesion, but so far so good. It has also fooled and then impressed many a family and friends who complimented us on our new dishwasher that finally matches the rest of the kitchen." —Amazon Customer

Get an 18-inch x 6-foot roll from Amazon for $13.99. 

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt-proof, etc... In total, I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adelia

And pick up a wallpaper tool kit — with smoothing tools and a utility knife  — to make the process even easier. 

Promising review: "My foyer needed some color and personality. This did the trick! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. This wallpaper was reasonably priced and easy to apply by myself. I have been hesitant to use wallpaper in the past because I’m so afraid I’ll like it for a few months and then get tired of it. This is a great solution. It’s an easy DIY so no hiring a professional to install it, and the product itself is fairly inexpensive, as wallpaper goes. Plus, it’s easy to reposition, and it doesn’t damage the wall, so you can easily remove it. The seams lined up pretty well, and it was easy to smooth out any bubbles. I’d definitely buy this brand again." —Jennifer Bacon

Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 

Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to its size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It’s absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in two sizes). 

It enhances the natural beauty and depth of grain on finished *and* unfinished wood. For use on antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, wood doors and trim, etc.

Promising review: "Very impressed so far. Just tried this stuff on one of our kitchen cabinets and it really did a nice job. The cabinets are 15-year-old cherry-stained hard work cabinets (oak, maybe?) and are scratched deeply in certain parts from the previous owner's dogs. Well, 20 minutes after applying this product and wiping it off, I can't complain at all about the results. It looks great in the picture, and even better in real life where you are not focusing on staring at imperfections. In addition to helping tremendously with the blemishes, it also leaves a nice glossy shine on the cabinets, making them look clean and fresh (not over the top glossy and fake). For the minimal price, I can't complain at all. Finally, I used about a 1/3 of an ounce to do the 36" double base cabinets and the 36" wide drawer, so I believe the 16-oz bottle will last quite a while." —Patrick Gallagher

Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and love seat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz

Get it from Amazon for $29.24+ (available in five sizes and 21 colors).

Pure Wood Design is a small business run by carpenter Ömer, who has over 40 years of woodworking experience.

Promising review: "Best idea for a balcony. Really well-made product, and I could not be happier. Heavier and stronger than what you're thinking." —Scotty Smith

Get it from Pure Wood Design on Etsy for $75.46+ (originally $107.80+; available in 11 sizes and 10 colors).

Promising review: "This is the second privacy screen I've purchased from Amazon. I have an area in my garden visible from the street. The screen hides all my gardening stuff (i.e. wheelbarrow, buckets, etc.). It truly looks like the real deal!!!" —soooz

Get a roll from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three roll sizes).

Promising review: "The product was easy to install on a 32" TV. The LED strip consists of attachment ends that allow you to decide how much (or how little) you need. The placement is a little uneven because of my TV wall mount hardware, but THIS IS A GREAT PURCHASE. This adds to the ambiance of my room as well as enhancing movies and shows. The remote is highly responsive to chosen color changes. Grateful for the brightness adjustment and fade setting capabilities." —Jasmine

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 8.2 and 14.3 ft).

The distance determines how wide and intense the light is — position it farther away for a softer diffused light, or closer up to focus the colorful beam on a specific spot.

Check out a similar sunset lamp on TikTok to see how it works!

Promising review: "Immediately, out of the box, it makes any room more aesthetically pleasing. It's such a simple but beautiful light to make your room feel cozy. The warm color also adds calm and serenity to your space. I am so satisfied with it, I will be buying another. My space has weird geometric angles, and this light makes them feel even cooler." —-jordan_

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three styles).

The Tulip shade also comes with a ceiling mount, removable tape, and three screws (as needed for textured ceiling applications).

Tulip is a small business from Lori Smyth. Her inspiration? The drab lighting in a college dorm! Her innovative design requires no rewiring, no power tools, nothing! Check out the different styles and how easily they install via Tulip's TikTok.

BuzzFeed Editor Chelsea Stuart owns and loves it: "I just had a chance to try one of these, and I am simply OBSESSED. I live in NYC in a rental, and I have a really drab light in my kitchen that even an electrician couldn't get off of the ceiling without breaking... so I gave up on replacing it right after I moved in. Alas, fast forward a year, and I found Tulip on TikTok! Instantly, I thought 1. This is absolutely genius, and 2. How has no one come up with this before?!?!

Installing it (installing makes it seem way more involved than it is) took all of 10 minutes and that includes removing it from the box, Command Strip-ing the ring to the ceiling, and then popping the magnetic shade in place. (Honestly, the thing that took me the longest was fishing my step stool out of the depths of my junk closet.) Not only is the shade itself beautiful, but the diffused light is just so soft and pretty. I can't wait to get another one for my entryway!!!"

Promising review: "I have been searching for a paper lamp or replacement for my current apartment lights, but they either wouldn't fit or it would require too much effort that my landlord wouldn't appreciate. That's when I came across Tulip. I can't be more blunt than this — you literally Command Strip the ring to the ceiling, and the shade attaches via magnet... seriously ingenious." —Oliver O.

Get it from Tulip for $149 (also available in 10 other styles).

Reviewers attached these in different ways, with some just using mounting tape in apartments for no damage to the walls. Others installed them on doors and kitchen islands!

Promising review: "Moldings came in well-packed and quickly. It was super easy to install. Used White Lightning Speed Grip to adhere the panels. These panels gave a high-end look to an otherwise drab wall and peninsula. So classic and affordable, and it will never go out of style!" —JM

Get a single panel from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in 17 sizes).

Promising review: "I have 12-inch white tile in my whole house that is 20 years old. Even though I have kept it looking nice, the grout was still getting dark. I cleaned the grout and let it dry good 'til the next day, then used the grout pen. It looks like it is brand-new. One thing that I found out was that if the tip of the pen starts to look worn, you can just pull it out and turn it over — it is the same tip on both ends. It will take some time to do the whole house, but it looks so great that I will just do a section at a time 'til I finish. One other thing that I did was run my finger down the grout line after I applied the grout pen, then wipe down the tile line with a paper towel, so no other cleanup was necessary." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).

Reviewers note that you should remove the bulbs before stringing up the strands and then install the bulbs.

Promising review: "These lights were perfect for my patio, I've recieved plenty of compliments so far. The Edison light bulbs and beautiful and offer the perfect amount of lighting for any occasion...the clips were ideal for my eaves, the overhang of the roof, which made for simple installation...now just need to find a dimmer capable of handling the required wattage and the package will be complete." —Brody Vins

Get a strand from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in five styles and seven lengths).

Promising review: "Beautiful, easy to install and make the neighborhood lovely by day and by night. Water resistant and picks up enough solar energy when it rains all day to light up the night. I was pleasantly surprised! They are well worth the cost for however many you need around your home." —Virginia Conway

Get six from Amazon for $27.99 (also available in an eight-pack and in three colors).

Promising review: "These are amazing!! Used them to hang string lights on my patio, and I can’t recommend them enough. Last year, I struggled with hanging lights because I didn’t want to drill hooks or use adhesive on my siding, as I rent. These are so easy to hook under the siding. I did it myself at nine months pregnant. They hold really well, and they aren’t an eyesore." —Jojoooo

Promising review: "Used these for the outdoor herb garden in the photo. They were a little smaller than I expected, but definitely fit my needs." —Katy

Poplight is a woman-owned small biz founded by entrepreneurs Rose and Caroline Matthes. They sell renter-friendly lights that are sleek and modern!

Promising review: "I love this light! I’ve been on the hunt for a simple, elevated-looking bedside light for a long time, but wasn’t sure if a sconce was the right choice due to cost and my ABSOLUTE lack of electrical knowledge. My pop light has exactly the look I was going for and was SO easy to install (bonus for being renter-friendly too!). I hope there are more sizes and styles to come in the future, I’m just about ready to cover my entire apartment with these!" —Nicole
