At AMH Studios, we’re all about smart design—where sophistication meets strategy. That’s exactly what we embraced in our remodel project in the Heights, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re dreaming of a designer-worthy home without the high-end price tag, this is your sign to shop the exact finishes we used—all sourced directly from Amazon.
Why Amazon Finishes?
Let’s be honest: home finishes add up fast. Between plumbing fixtures, lighting, and hardware, your budget can get blown before the countertops are even installed. That’s where Amazon came in and saved the day. We curated timeless, high-impact pieces with luxe finishes—at a fraction of showroom prices.
Brushed Brass & Matte Gold Fixtures
Kitchen Faucet – A statement piece with a bridge-style design, but for under a third of the price of most name-brand versions.
Cabinet Pulls & Knobs – These knurled and sleek designs give a custom millwork feel. Bonus: they come in packs so you save even more per piece!

Designer Lighting Without the Designer Markup
Sconces – Chic frosted glass and brass combos create the ideal soft-glow ambiance.
Pendant Lights – Clear shades and clean brass lines over the island bring the drama—without the electrical bill.
Chandelier – This mid-century inspired centerpiece stole the show… and stayed under budget.

Details That Elevate
Mirror – A simple yet elegant rounded-edge mirror that mimics high-end lines we’ve seen at 5x the cost.
Towel & Paper Holders – These accents might seem small, but they pull the entire design together. And yes, also on Amazon.
How We Saved (and Where You Can Too)
We knew we wanted a cohesive look throughout the home, so we stuck to beautiful finishes—brushed brass, matte black, and chrome—and repeated it everywhere. This not only brought a high-end sense of continuity, but also made it easy to source budget-friendly alternatives by mixing metals.
