Canadian Design Blogger Samantha Potter’s 4 Favourite Home Finds Under $50
Decorate your home like a pro with these affordable, multi-purpose picks.
Between changing seasons, evolving trends and aesthetics, and our ever-shifting home needs, swapping out your home’s decor can be a fun yet pricey venture. So when a design expert tells us point-blank what pieces we need, we listen!
We sat down with Vancouver-based home decor and DIY content creator Samantha Potter (@samanthapotterhome) to get the scoop on the four home finds she recommends to every homeowner. Bonus: they’re all under $50.
Art Prints, $30

“I always recommend these framed art prints. The quality is honestly excellent for the price, and they’re a great way to refresh your space without overspending. They come framed, which is a significant win. I love swapping them out seasonally—with so many options in the same size, it makes it a quick and effortless way to have your room aligned with the season.”
Cordless Lamps, $47

“In my opinion, the cordless lamp has changed the decor game. While I'm still waiting for larger versions to hit the market, I'm fully embracing what's available and styling them everywhere. No cords, no mess, ambient lighting that instantly elevates kitchen counters, shelves, sideboards... honestly everywhere. I just snagged these and they are so good.”
Waffle bath mat, $34 (was $40)

“The waffle bath mat trend might be one of my favourites. It's a little embarrassing how long it took me to ditch my mismatched bath mats, but these made it an easy and obvious swap. The texture that results in a subtle pattern, and the range of colours they come in, makes it so these bathmats will suit almost any space.”
Woven Storage Boxes, $35

“These woven storage boxes are some of my go-to styling pieces. Shelf styling can be challenging, but these take a lot of the guesswork out of one small section, as you can simply stack them and be done. Plus, they add a beautiful, rich tone with a hint of texture that makes your shelfies feel curated and elevated.”
