I would say that I am equally as obsessed with upgrading my home’s look as I am with refreshing my look. I can't help it. It's almost like every time I treat myself a new outfit, I feel obligated to give my apartment a little TLC too. Since I try to keep things fresh pretty often, the costs can add up quick.

Thankfully, I've learned where to find the best deals for upgrading my home. (Hint: it's also the name of a massive rainforest.) But I've decided that I don't want to gatekeep all the treasures I've come across any longer. We all deserve to have impressive homes without hiring an interior designer or spending thousands to redo the kitchen.

Between a lazy Susan for your spices and a foldable hamper for your clothes, I've compiled a little bit of everything to give each room in your house a bit of sprucing up. There are countless products to help you not just decorate but save to space (like these underbed storage bags), energy (like this insulted curtain), and organize (like this pack of fridge organizer bins).

So it is officially time to treat your home to a little something, because making improvements should not mean going backward and making huge dents in your bank account — and thanks to Amazon it doesn’t.

Don’t make cooking harder than it has to be by knocking down everything in your cupboard to find the one spice hiding in the back corner. This two-tiered lazy Susan lets you see exactly where the paprika is with just a quick spin of its 360 degree base. Each bamboo board has a diameter of 10 inches so you can pack in ingredients. There’s a 7-inch height between the two tiers so you can put those taller bottles in place too.

Taking a nice long bath can be very relaxing — until your neck starts to ache from the hard tile. This bath pillow prevents that. Its mesh-covered surface is cushioned and ventilated to give your, head, neck, and back the support they need without getting soggy or too warm. The large surface is kept in place using the six extra-strong suction cups on the back and the entire thing can be hung to dry afterwords with the included hook.

If you by any chance actually don’t have Carrie Bradshaw’s magical closet that seems never-ending, you’ll find great use for these storage bags.

The clear plastic top cover and full opening makes it easy to see what you have and grab it in just seconds. The reinforced handle is tear-proof so you don’t have to worry when moving the bags around your home.

Why have regular shakers when these salt and pepper grinders look better on your table and keep your spices fresher for longer?
