We love an excuse to refresh our spaces. Whether it's a new season or a new chapter in our lives, we want our homes to reflect that in ways both big and small. 2021 is an especially great time for such changes, helping us close out what has been a difficult year for many.
If you're also looking for ideas to refresh your space for the new year, we'll include our product recommendations here. All of them fit within a $50 budget.
