Just because your apartment isn't on the top floor in a swanky uptown apartment building doesn't mean you can't have a place that looks and feels luxurious. You don't have to have the most expensive furniture, either. It's mostly about making great decor choices and using your money wisely. As we mentioned in a previous article, you can always start out by purchasing a statement piece that's the launching point for the rest of your furnishings. In this article, we'll show you five affordable items that can change the look and feel of your apartment to make it more luxurious. Moreover, you can find them on Amazon Prime.

Umbra Sticks Multi-Hook Coat Rack: $21-$45
Who says coat racks have to be boring? Umbra has the answer with its Sticks coat rack that can double as a piece of modern art. When it's folded flat against the wall, it looks like expensive artwork you had commissioned just for your home, but it's actually a coat rack that keeps guests wondering what it really is. It hides five hooks in its edgy design, and you can mount it on the wall, a door, or entryway to dress things up. Choose between multiple colors for the right look for you. Buy

It comes in three colors and will totally transform your bedroom. One of the best parts is the fact that there are no corners or edges to walk into. Buy
Artistic Weavers Chester Black Area Rug: $112

Made with 100% Polypropylene, it can manage plenty of foot traffic while remaining beautiful and easy to clean. The Moroccan-style pattern will fit almost any decor, as well. Buy
