26 Totally Random, Yet Expensive-Looking Home Décor Items I Found On Amazon
Yup, I've fallen into the pits of Amazon again. This time I spent nearly four hours creating a virtual checklist of home decor items I'm ready to add to my new LA apartment. Usually spending nearly four hours straight on anything leaves me exhausted, but as someone who lives for home decor, it's one of my favorite past-times.
There's always a lot to unpack when it comes to shopping the home of two-day shipping, so a good tip to remember is to first know what it is that you're looking for. To find the really chic, expensive-looking pieces my secret is to use other fancy home decor sites as a reference point–otherwise, you'll be spending a lot more time wading through pages of lackluster stuff. With the right combination of search terms, you can potentially uncover some affordable gems that look triple the price. Now I'm sharing the fruits of my online shopping labor–scroll ahead to check out all of the Amazon home decor picks I'm currently crushing on.

I can confirm, this rug is super plush and amazing. The neutral check pattern looks elevated too.
If you're looking to save some space, skip the accent chairs and opt for an ottoman instead.

Indya Brown is a fashion editor, stylist, and writer living in Los Angeles. While going to school at Columbia University in New York City, she got her feet wet in the fashion industry interning at Elle magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and New York magazine's The Cut. After graduating in 2016, she joined The Cut as a fashion assistant, eventually working her way up to fashion editor. There, she worked on a multitude of projects, including styling inbook feature stories for New York magazine's print issue, writing and pitching market stories for The Cut, and serving as fashion lead for The Cut's branded content. While New York has been her home for over 10 years, she moved to Los Angeles in the midst of the pandemic in 2020 for a new chapter. Now she is a fashion market editor for Who What Wear, focusing on emerging designers, rising trends on and off the internet, interior design, and BIPOC creatives and brands. Aside from her duties as a fashion market editor, Brown is also a freelance stylist and writer, working on national print and video commercial campaigns for Sephora, The Independent, and Cadillac. Her bylines also include Harper's Bazaar, Vox, and The New York Times.
