April showers bring…well, let’s be real, before those May flowers arrive it’s Tax Season in the U.S. and most of us are scurrying to get those returns in. If you’re getting a return this year (all caps WOOT!) or even if you owe a bit less than you’d anticipated (lowercase woot!), we have you covered. Below is a list of our fave splurge items that will upgrade your space.

Where better to pamper yourself than in the bedroom? Serena and Lily Positano Linen Duvet Cover is gorgeously soft and all white bedding gives any bedroom that elegant hotel feeling.

The CB2 Geo Antiqued Brass Wall Mirror is understated elegance that will have you looking twice and is an easy switch for the boring mirror currently hanging in your powder room (I see you!)

Sometimes everyday items are the best thing to upgrade, we love the Pottery Barn Classic Coupe Dinnerware Set for simple elegance you can enjoy every time you sit down to eat.

We’re a little obsessed with lighting as an easy way to add luxury (pssst…check out whole house lighting refresh post), and the Serena and Lily Finley Pendant has a sleek but whimsical look that has us searching for a place for it at home!
