Life is in the details, and choosing the right home accessories that are aesthetically pleasing and make sense for the size of your space is a joyful, yet time-consuming task. When you think of switching up your decor or adding luxurious touches to your home, Amazon probably isn't the first retailer you think of — but in fact, it's full of clever, well-designed things that make your home look way more stylish, usually at affordable price points, too. Take the 36 products on this list, for example, which all ring up at $60 or, in most cases, way less.

Many of these stylish home items are just as functional as they are easy on the eyes. Some offer sleek storage solutions, save you time, or up your home technology's capabilities. Others will make your space feel cozier and more relaxing, with the right lighting or some aromatherapy. Whatever their features, these products aim to improve the quality of the time you spend at home, without taking away from its aesthetic.

A space that reflects your style while meeting your needs is the best place to call home, and these 36 stylish products from Amazon will help you create exactly that.
