These days, it’s hard to imagine anything you can’t purchase on Amazon. With thousands of items available—ranging from furniture, to dinnerware, to an awesome accent rug—it’s no wonder it’s considered the Everything Store.

Luckily, awesome home decor is another thing they have on lock—plus, Amazon makes it easy to keep your space looking trendy and up to date without forking over a small fortune.

Below, check out the eight trend-driven decor items Amazon has to offer that only look expensive.

Christopher Knight Home Francie Chairs

Okay, so they’re not exactly Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs, but for a little over $55 a pop, I’d consider these guys must-haves for a mid-century inspired dining room. They definitely have the stylish bent back silhouette going on, and the walnut finish looks expensive.

Edloe Finch Modern Marble Coffee Table

As far as we’re concerned, marble is the design trend that won’t quit. The tabletop’s real marble, the legs sport a trendy rose gold finish, and it’s an eye-catching shape. Best of all, it’s available for less than $500. Win-win-win.

Rivet Glass Ball and Metal Table Lamp

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: 2019 is all about globe lighting. If you want to embrace the trend with minimal elbow grease, you can pick up this lamp from Amazon’s signature Rivet line for just $59.

Sandstone & Sage Blanket Ladder 

It doesn’t get any more chic than leaning a ladder for textiles against your bathroom or living room wall. Actually, it does—if you drape some Turkish towels like the ones seen in this photo over the rungs.

Now House by Jonathan Adler Josef Cocktail Table

In case you missed it, Jonathan Adler has a borderline epic line of affordable wares on Amazon. But while there’s an impressive amount of terrazzo and bright colors, we’re all about this blond wood cocktail table. With its grooved, curvy legs, it’s a low-key miracle that you can score it for just under $350.

Modern Terrazzo Design Coasters

Can’t say goodbye to terrazzo? Neither can we. The jury’s still out on whether or not this design trend is here to stay, so might we recommend adding a smaller piece to your space? These terrazzo coasters will pack a punch without breaking the bank.
