30 Items Under £25 That Will Finally Turn Your House Into a Home

Not all people have a perfect design style or perfect taste. But it’s not a big problem if you know which things are able to turn your house into a welcoming home. People shared what helps them add coziness to their spaces, and it turns out it’s all about mood lighting, texture, intimate spaces, scented candles, and family photos. We analyzed some budget-friendly options and listed the best of them here to help you inject some cozy vibes into your place.

1. Add the “scent of tranquility” to your home with this natural lavender essential oil. You can use it for various purposes, like aromatherapy, massage, or skincare.

An essential oil without additives that is collected from flowers grown in France. It can be used for face and body, but make sure to read the instructions first. There are a huge variety of scents is available.

Promising review: Lovely scent. Therapeutic when mixed with a massage base and absorbed into your skin by massaging your neck and shoulders. Sprinkle some drops on your pillow at bedtime. Will buy again. @Liz Edwards

2. These soft, faux fur pillowcases will be the best addition to a plush rug you’ll find in the list below. However, if you don’t have a rug and don’t want to buy one, the pillowcases will still be great for decorating your bedroom or living room.

There are 2 pillowcases in the package. You can choose from different sizes and colors. They can be machine washed at a low temperature.

Promising review: The quality of the material is very good. These pillowcases are very soft and are very good quality for the money. @Dagma Millar

3. Hide imperfections on your walls or just add a natural vibe to your room with this artificial ivy. It’s also a great option for those who adore greenery but who don’t really have time (patience or talent) to grow a plant at home.

Although this garland is made of silk and plastic, it looks very realistic. It is durable and reusable and can be used both at home and outdoors.

Promising review: Bought these for my home to hang from the ceiling, and they are perfect. The thickness is great, and the quality of the leaves is better than I expected. I’ve cut them to size, but they all come off the same length and are wrapped up nicely.
I would recommend washing them while they are tied up before using them, as a lot of green dye came out of the leaves. But the quality was amazing — better than expected. @Joann

4. These wax hearts, with an amazing but not overpowering scent, will create a romantic mood in your home. The wax melts for an average of 6 hours or more. You can use them alone or combine them with essential oils.

There are 16 wax hearts in the set. They are made from natural vegetable wax and available in a variety of colors and flavors.

Promising review: These little wax hearts smell gorgeous. The scent lasts for ages and, more importantly, masks the smell of my dogs.
Came neatly packed in a little box with paper covering the melts and a little card about the company. These would make an ideal gift. Highly recommend. @lynne furlong

5. What could be more pleasant than pretty flowers that aren’t begging for care? This bouquet will decorate any room of your home. Also, you can mix them with other flowers to create a composition or use them alone.

The bouquet comes with 12 flower stems. Each large stem has 3 small stems and about 81 flowers. A great thing is that it won’t fade or wither for a long time.

Promising review: Wow!! I don’t have enough time to replenish my flower vase all the time, so I thought I’d make the decision to buy some artificial flowers.
I was a bit skeptical as I think they do look rather tacky, but I was really amazed at how real these look! You could never tell! They really look like the real thing, and I am overly delighted with how they have turned out. Extremely happy @Holly Jones

6. These wicker boxes will be great for storing your essentials in any room, whether at the bedside or in the bathroom. Plus, they will create visual order.

This basket set of 4 will help you organize odds and ends. It’s carefully handcrafted from recyclable paper for eco-friendly storage. To clean it, wipe the basket with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Promising review: These boxes were cheap, so I wasn’t expecting much, but they are very nicely made with no rough bits, and the sides and base are rigid, so they don’t collapse. I only needed one box to put my keys in, and I got these as they were so cheap. However, I shall have to think of something else for my keys now as this set of boxes is destined for greater things! @Possum of Reeker

With the moonlight LED lamp, you can easily switch the light color from moon white to warm yellow by pressing the touch-sensitive mini switch on the bottom. You can also press to adjust the brightness and create a cozy or cool atmosphere. Now, the moon in the palm of your hand is a reality.

Promising review: These are stunning! I have purchased 4 in total, in 3 different sizes, as gifts, and all are equally beautiful. I’m next on the list! They are light yet very well-made. I love the option of a warm or cool glow with the added option to brighten or dim.

Each person has been delighted with their gift, and a couple have already purchased them for gifts too. You will not be disappointed. @Laura

10. A lamp made of natural Himalayan salt will be a great addition to your home. It has the ability to increase serotonin levels, reduce stress, and improve mood.

This salt lamp is hand carved from 100% natural crystalline Himalayan rock salt. Crystalline salt is said to help cure many diseases. Bioenergetic therapists and homeopaths recommend crystal salt lamps for the treatment of allergies and respiratory and circulatory system diseases.

Because of their beautiful and rich colors, salt lamps are also used in color therapy, i.e., chromotherapy. Their calming light helps neurotic people and those suffering from insomnia.

Promising review: I wish I had gotten a Himalayan salt lamp sooner. It sits on the end of my mantelpiece, and my eyes are constantly drawn to the soft yet strong glow. As soon as I switch it on, it is instantly calming.
It is very heavy and well-made. It was very easily set up in only a couple of minutes, and the dimmer switch is a welcome addition. I am very happy with my purchase and will certainly be buying another one. @Normajoanie

These realistic flameless glass candles imitate real flames. They contain real wax in a glass container. Candles create a cozy feeling by gently flickering and emitting a warm white light. You can control them with the remote control.

Promising review: Very beautiful led candles. They flicker, and you would never know that they aren’t real! I love how they look and the relaxing feeling they bring to the living room. The remote is great too, which makes it so much easier to turn them on.
You have some timer options, but I haven’t tried them yet. I’m not sure how long the batteries will last as I only just used them for the first time, so we will see. Each candle takes 2 AA batteries, so make sure you have plenty as they don’t come with the candles. @Weronika

They are the best choice for those who don’t have time to take care of live plants. They don’t need watering at all and will always remain beautiful.

These succulents will bring coziness and tranquility to any space. They are a small but bright detail that will please the eye. If the plant gets dusty or accidentally dirty, just use a towel with a little water and gently wipe it down — it’s easy and convenient.

Promising review: I really love these succulents — they just look amazing and very realistic. Sometimes all the effort and design go into just the plant, and the base is usually forgotten. Not with these, the base looks amazing too. It has a really nice stone pot effect and, again, looks very realistic, even close up.
The set I received came as a pack of 6, which is great for me. I’ll be placing these on a shelf in the bedroom. I would definitely recommend them. They’re a lovely set and would make an amazing gift too. @Adam
