42 Home Essentials That Simplify Your Daily Routine
A set of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows to replace your old pillows. These are big, fluffy, and soft, and everyone says it feels like you're sleeping at a fancy hotel when you use them. Yes, please! See them in action in TikTok user Aprill Mae's review: "Due to packaging, they are quite flat at first. Laid them flat for a few hours. Shook and fluffed them up and was able to sleep like a baby last night. These pillows are heavenly. I say that because it feels as though you're sleeping on a cloud. I slept with both. One under my head and one to hug. They stayed a comfortable temp all night long. The first morning, I didn't wake up with neck, shoulder, and back pain in over a week and a half. I feel rested and refreshed." —Amazon Customer"These are THE BEST pillows! I'm a side/stomach sleeper, and these provide the perfect amount of support for me. Exactly what I was looking for. I was a bit skeptical, given how inexpensive they are — I'm used to spending a lot on bedding — but I decided to trust the over 200,000 reviews, and I'm so glad I did. Highly, highly recommend." —Irene PopeGet it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes). A jar of the The Pink Stuff — aka TikTok's favorite all-purpose cleaning paste. From everyday messes to years' worth of buildup, there's no grossness that this miracle cleaner can't take on. A garlic chopper to mince or chop garlic for you. You literally just put up to five regular-size cloves in it and then use your hand to roll this thing on any smooth surface, and it chops it all up in a matter of seconds. If you want to mince it, you keep rolling for maybe 10 more seconds. I have one of these and sticky hands and knives are now a thing of the past. Promising review: "Love! Love! Love the GarlicZoom! Mincing garlic has never been more easy or fun. It makes mince work out of garlic, onion, chilies and herbs. I'm not sure what I love most about this little gadget. Not smelling stinky garlic fingers all night? No burning fingers or eyes from chopping a super hot chile? Or mincing fresh herbs in a blink of an eye. I have a problem wrist from an injury and an arm and hand that suffers from nerve damage. I can still manage to zoom this. When people ask if the can help in the kitchen, this is the chore that I give them and everyone loves it. They think it's the neatest little thing." —Kennedy CollinsGet it from Amazon for $14.61. A microfiber spin mop that makes sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you get to cleaning. It's machine washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners, no problem. Or a flat mop that basically cleans itself, so you don't have to touch the grimy mop head (bless). The compact design makes it great for tight spaces, and the reusable microfiber pads mean you can keep your floors and walls sparkling without hauling out a giant mop setup every time. A tower fan and heater combo to save you from sweaty afternoons and chilly mornings without taking up more than a sliver of floor space. It cools, it heats, it's whisper-quiet, and it adjusts on the fly (via remote, too!) so your home doesn't feel like a tundra in the morning and a desert by lunch. Promising review: "I love this versatile fan. It gives you heat or just the air. It's very beautiful and it's easy to work. I love it." —palfatGet it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three colors). A pack of Affresh dishwasher-cleaning tablets for making sure your dishwasher is super clean and therefore capable of making sure your dishes are too. All you do is drop a tablet into the dishwasher before you run a load, and it does all the work from there. Promising reviews: "Works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and there was detergent buildup all over the inside, and a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. There was still some buildup and I figured it would require another cycle, so I popped another two tablets in, and now it looks and sounds brand new. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors or buildup around the door seals." —MartouneGet a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. Some motion-activated, battery-powered night-lights to illuminate dark areas in your home. I use these in closets, deep cabinets, and my bathroom that has a really loud fan that turns on every time I switch the light on. An expandable shelf for under your sink that adjusts itself around your awkwardly shaped pipe. You will be able to fit so much more stuff under your sink when you use this! Measures 15 inches long x 11.25 inches wide x 15 inches high and can expand to 25 inches review: "I'm so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom and this fit perfectly. I have it extended to about 23-inch and it holds sturdy, though I can see if you were to extend it to its full length it gets weak in the middle. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for the kitchen. I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath." —Marlene it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in three finishes). Some sleek transparent dividers to separate clothes into categories. Sweaters, pants, T-shirts, and more will finally have a place inside your closet that doesn't require being hung up. Promising review: "These dividers have changed my life! I put them on the top shelf of my clothes closet and divide sections into the type of clothes I want. One section has blue jeans, another section has black pants, another section has lightweight summer pants, and I can see everything just looking up at the shelf. My closet is no longer a mess, and the top shelf above the hanging clothes is no longer the place where I just throw things and can't keep track of them. I never knew what was up there and now I do! As I said I just bought a second set of them for my second closet." —Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two, four, six, or eight). A nonslip, quick-dry stone bath mat if you're tired of soggy bath mats that take forever to dry. This is made out of diatomaceous earth (fancy, right?), which dries faster than you can say "bye-bye mildew." Dorai is a small business in Salt Lake City that makes everyday items for the home. Promising review: "The last bathroom mat you will ever need! This product has been a game-changer for us. We liked it so much, we gifted it to a few of our friends, and they all loved it, too! The standout feature is how it almost instantly dries your feet with a unique suction effect — once you experience this, there's no going back to regular bathmats. It's versatile, performing well in both hot and cold weather, and the included slip-resistant rubber mat is a thoughtful addition." —Joshua it from Amazon for $69+ (available in two colors and two styles). A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that uses magical blue foam to rid your garbage disposal of foodstuff and odor. I have these and actually look forward to using them, they're that great. You push one of the biodegradable packets into your drain and then turn the water on. Before you know it, this blue foam starts bubbling up from your drain(s) and after a few minutes completely disappears. After that, the drain is super clean and those lingering smells are gone. Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness-free. Promising review: "Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" —Jennifer KGet two packs of four from Amazon for $12.97. A set of two toothpaste squeezers so you get every last ounce of toothpaste out of the tube. It also holds your toothpaste upright, which means it won't take up as much valuable countertop space. I really hate wasting product, but so many bottles and tubes make it impossible to get the last couple of tablespoons of stuff out. I can't stand this! With this squeezer, I literally get ALL the toothpaste out before I need a new tube, and it's soooo satisfying. Promising review: "These work great. They keep even a full tube upright so the bathroom counter looks tidier. The key twists the empty section of the tube easily so every bit of the toothpaste is used with no fuss. Have one for my husband and me and for each of the two kids. Highly recommend this product." —Chelley PattersonGet a set of two from Amazon for $7.80+ (available in two color combinations). A multi-plug outlet with six electric outlets, two USB ports, and a built-in nightlight. The nightlight has three levels of brightness, and can turn on automatically when it senses the area getting dark. A bamboo shower stool to keep all your bathing needs within reach. This is especially great if you have little to no built-in shower storage. Promising review: "This bench was exceptionally easy to put together. Everything fit well and it seems very sturdy. Extra parts were included but not needed. The quality and appearance are both very high. I'm very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend it to others, nor would I hesitate to buy another one." —Randy it from Amazon for $33.24+ (available in natural bamboo or black). A pumice stone for removing hard water stains in your toilet's bowl. Considered a must-have cleaning tool, if there's a stain in your toilet that you're sure is permanent, try this out and watch it disappear like magic. Powerstone is a small business that makes home cleaning products out of pumice stone. Promising review: "The holy grail of toilet cleaning. Oh wow! I am so happy with this pumice! It removed all the buildup from my hard water easily and quickly! I was thinking I would have to buy a new toilet and start over and just try to clean it every day. I've NEVER been so pleased with a product!" —TashaGet it from Amazon for $12.87+. (be sure to clip the 20% off coupon when applicable; available in packs of one or two). A soothing Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock that simulates the sunrise, so waking up (at any time) feels totally natural. It has seven natural sounds and slowly turns from 10% brightness to 100% in 30 minutes. :::Deep exhale::: Promising review: "I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 Has changed my life and I've only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you, Apple)." —KatieMGet it from Amazon for $32.88+ (available with a white, fabric, or wood base). A roll-up drying rack so you can let dishes and produce dry without taking up valuable countertop space. And because it goes over the sink, no need to worry about water dripping all over the place. A utility wagon to haul all your heavy stuff around. I used mine nearly every day — getting groceries and heavy packages into my apartment, taking recycling down to the bins. And to add more icing to the cake, it completely collapses when not in use. A citrus-scented toilet spray, because it's always best to leave no trace — especially smelly ones — when it comes to doing what you do in the bathroom. Just spray this into the bowl before you go number two, and it does all the work from there. This formula is nontoxic and paraben-free. Promising review: "I didn't think I would like this, but it works! I was shocked. My husband has very regular BMs and that usually means that the rest of us have to avoid that part of the house for at least a little while. I got this for his birthday as a gag gift, but we tried it and it works amazingly well! The only downside is that I'm starting to associate the pleasant citrus scent with poop as well. It is not a subtle cover-up, as anyone who walks by the bathroom will smell a great outpouring of citrus, but it's better than the alternative! Overall, I definitely recommend this product to anyone who poops." —steel_muffinsGet it from Amazon for $9.99. A dog-feeding reminder for making sure your dog gets fed but not overfed each morning and evening. This will be especially useful for those who live in a home with multiple people caring for one pup. Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not I feed them and indicate it, we all love it so much!" —Toni DeeganGet it from Amazon for $9.61. A veggie chopper so that prepping an abundance of food is easier than doing it all by hand. Give yourself a break with this chopper that uses four blades to julienne, chop, and slice vegetables with ease. A 3-in-1 wireless charger to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, no unsightly nest of cords required. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers, because your pantry staples deserve a designated home. This set has over 24,600 5-star reviews for a reason, it's that good. Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problems." —R MGet it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). A rapid egg cooker to cook up to six eggs five different ways with a push of a button. Hard boil, soft boil, poach, scrambled, even omelets — this tiny appliance will do it all so you don't have to. Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life?!?!?" —rebeccaGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six colors).Check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review. A CovoBox that provides hidden storage for unsightly things like routers and bulky cords. Each box is made right here in the USA with real wood and reclaimed books. A dishwasher magnet to let you know if the dishes are clean or dirty. With just one swipe you never have to worry about unloading dishes that haven't actually been washed. A windproof rechargeable lighter for all your candles and grilling needs. The flexible neck makes it easy to light hard to reach wicks, and it'll spark 400 times before it needs to be recharged. Promising reviews: "I'm a candle-freak, so I was tired of using a regular lighter and then having to rig up something to reach the wicks as my candles burned down. I had seen these lighters previously, read through the reviews and decided to purchase. I've been very happy with my purchase. After reading reviews, I just make sure to clean the lighter with the little brush that's included, to make sure there is no wax on it, each time I use it. I have had no problems." —MMGet it from Amazon for $7.99. A set of three oven liners to avoid a sticky, messy oven. You can cut these dishwasher-safe liners to fit onto the bottom of your oven and it'll catch all the drippings from pies to casseroles. When it gets gross, clean it by hand or on the top rack of your dishwasher. Promising review: "I expected to be happy, but I'm thrilled! Each mat is pliable and fits the entire width of my standard oven. When the mat is against the back wall, it extends up to but not over the front lip of the floor. On first use, pizza cheese and sauce dripped onto the front edge of the mat and onto that uncovered lip. The baked-on cheese and sauce slid right off the mat! Effortlessly! After I cleaned up the lip, I layered a second mat to cover the lip. These mats are so great that I almost want food to drip on them so I can show off how wonderful they are." —Artset OutsetGet a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99. A food storage set that includes eight 30-ounce containers with lids. The containers are glass, which means you won't get the food stains you often see with traditional plastic food storage containers. I use these for meal prepping all the time. Promising review: "Absolutely love this product! Makes storing and transporting my meals extremely easy and keeps everything fresh all week. Portion size is perfect. I fit a whole chicken breast plus rice in them with room to spare. The leak-proof design holds in freshness in and gives me peace of mind when transporting them in my backpack. When all is done they are extremely easy to clean." —RHGet it on Amazon for $35.99 (available in three colors). A nontoxic, plant- and mineral-based essentials cleaning kit so that you can keep your home sparkling clean without the use of harsh chemicals. The kit may give you sticker shock, but after you factor in how many times you can refill each bottle with the magical concentrate, it breaks down to about the same price per bottle of cleaner you'd buy at a big store. Each kit comes with a 33.8 oz bottle of cleaning concentrate and three refillable bottles for all-purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and glass cleaner. Branch Basics is a woman-owned small business based in Minneapolis making high quality non-toxic cleaning review: "This is the cleaning solution I've been needing for so long. Having young kids, I'm constantly thinking about ingredients and what's healthy for our family. I LOVE there is no smell, and I can use for so many things around my house. Thank you for creating a such an amazing cleaning brand.❤️ I love this." —Whitney T. Get it from Branch Basics for $67+ (available in plastic or glass bottles). A dual-spray showerhead for a better bathing experience. The handheld head is great for making sure you never get out of the shower not realizing your hair still has conditioner in it. A set of drawer organizers that'll help keep your socks, bras, undies, and more from overflowing and taking over your bedroom floor. You'll get 45 cells out of this set, so there really will be a place for everything. The set includes four bins: one with six cells for scarves and tights, eight square cells for underwear, seven wide cells for bras, and 24 small cells for review: "I love these things; they're so versatile. I have them all over: drawers, closet shelves, cabinets. I use them for more than just underwear too. I use them for dry art supplies in open shelves and just about anywhere else I need to organize." —Kindle MacGet it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in seven colors). A jar of Humble Suds' all-natural scour cleaning paste for taking on tough cleaning jobs like baked on grime in the oven to removing difficult stains on your bathroom's grout. Thanks to a combination of castile soap and essential oils like sweet orange and lemongrass, not only does this do the job of removing grime, but it smells amazing, too! Humble Suds is a small cleaning brand run by two moms in Colorado. All of their products are made from humble yet powerful plant and mineral-derived ingredients and scented with pure essential oils. Promising review: "I just cleaned my boyfriend's oven which hasn't been cleaned in five years 😲. I used this magical stuff, and I was amazed. This works like a dream. Will be buying more immediately." —Tarah Redburn Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in a 11oz or 18oz jar). A moisture meter to place deep down into the soil so you know exactly how much water your plant is getting. Under- and overwatering can be a thing of the past, people! A two-stage knife sharpener, because preparing food with a dull knife is never a good idea. Keep all your knives sharp with this easy tool that only requires a few swipes to make it like new again. Promising review: "Wow, this little gadget is pretty amazing! I have some old (expensive) nonserrated knives that are supposed to never need sharpening but unfortunately, lost their sharp edge long ago. I saw this gadget and decided to try it. I set the bottom of this gadget on the edge of the counter and ran one of the knives through the side labeled 'Coarse' about 10 times, then ran it through the side labeled 'Fine' another 8–10 times. Bingo! The knife was transformed back to its former high-dollar cutlery glory. I could hardly believe how effectively it had sharpened the knife, which I had been ready to throw away a week before. I've been happily sharpening all our knives and trying to add up in my head how much money I've saved by NOT having to buy another set of expensive knives. Great score!" —Schelly L. WagonerGet it from Amazon for $8.70+ (available in four colors).Read our full review of the KitchenIQ knife sharpener. An Instant Pot to pressure cook, slow cook, cook rice, steam, sauté...and even make yogurt. This is truly an amazing small appliance that will make cooking so many of your different dishes a breeze, I promise. And because it can do so much in such a little device, imagine all the countertop and cabinet space you'll save. Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I've ever owned. I love it so much that I've purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can't it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I've tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —StereomanGet it from Amazon for $79.99. A pair of smartplugs that you can control with your voice or the accompanying app. If you want the lights to be on when you get home, just use the app to make sure it happens. Either turn them on remotely through the app or schedule a time for them to turn on. Promising review: "I purchased the two pack for these smart outlets. They are very easy to setup and link to your home Wi-Fi via the intuitive app. The app itself is great and it is easy to link up and control multiple smart outlets and even allows you to take pictures of the device that is powered by the outlet and set up schedules for on/off times which makes it very convenient for lamps or other devices you want to run at night only. The app also comes with a widget as well which can be viewed from the lock screen which is very useful because It reduces the amount of push notifications you get on a daily basis. The device itself also has a manual on/off button as well so if your Wi-Fi goes out you can still manually operate the device as well. I would purchase this again." —Samson GebreGet a pack of two from Amazon for $14.96. A double closet rod for getting the most out of your closet's vertical space. All those blouses, jackets, and shirts are taking up way too much valuable real estate, so literally double your space with this nifty tool. Promising review: "This is sturdy and lightweight. This closet rod doubled my available space in seconds. There is plenty of space on the top rod for longer shirts and tops and shorter ones fit perfectly on the lower rod, without touching the floor. Plus, hangers stay in place and don't slide to one end or the other based on how heavy items are, and so far the rod hasn't sagged or bowed at all. And I have all my sweatshirts and heavy fleece jackets on the bottom rod. Space will obviously depend on the height of the closet rod you hang this from, but I would highly recommend this for anyone with need of more closet space!!" —CCBunEGet it from Amazon for $15.99. An automatic, odor-absorbing, sensor-activated trash can made of fingerprint-proof stainless steel. Who knew a single trashcan could do so much? Promising review: "I bought this trash can eight years ago. At the time, it was hard to find any stainless-steel trash cans for an affordable price, so the fact that this was the most reasonable and it had the automated lid seemed like a pretty easy choice. It still looks great and works great. You can wave over the sensor to open the lid, or there is a button on the front of it to open the lid and keep it open. The lid does a great job of holding any odors in while it's closed." —SomniGet it from Amazon for $49.07+ (available in six styles). A honeycomb divider if your drawer is a sea of mismatched socks. This tiny but mighty divider will create 18 pockets, though reviewers say bigger drawers can accommodate two sets — so 36 pockets. The set snaps together with maximum dimensions of 13.25 inches x14.38 inches, but you can snap two (or more!) packs together if you want to fill more drawer space!Promising review: "Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble." —BrigetteGet it from Amazon for $9.17+ (available in black or white). And a magnetic bobby pin tray so that all your pins stay in one place instead of literally everywhere else. I find bobby pins everywhere — under my sofa cushions, in the back of drawers, at the bottom of the laundry bin — and it's entirely preventable with a simple tool like this.

31 Overlooked Home Items That Will Change Your Life
A broom and dustpan set that'll finally let you retire your sad old broom with the bent bristles and dustpan that leaves behind a trail of crumbs. This one's got sturdy bristles, a clip-on design for easy storage, and — best of all — built-in teeth on the dustpan so you can clean the gunk of the broom without using your hands. When I say this is the most used cleaning tool in my house I mean it. We have two small children, and one's a toddler who's still learning how to feed himself. Meals get MESSY. Several times a day we need to clean around our dining table, and this is our go-to tool for sweeping up all the crumbs and other grossness that ends up on the floor. The teeth on the dustpan mean the broom bristles stay super clean, which means even the smallest piece of dirt (a good example is hair) still gets picked up and pushed into the dustpan. I LOVE this set!Get it from Amazon for $22.09 (available in six colors). A tower fan and heater combo to save you from sweaty afternoons and chilly mornings without taking up more than a sliver of floor space. It cools, it heats, it's whisper-quiet, and it adjusts on the fly (via remote, too!) so your home doesn't feel like a tundra in the morning and a desert by lunch. Promising review: "I love this versatile fan. It gives you heat or just the air. It's very beautiful and it's easy to work. I love it." —palfatGet it from Amazon for $152.90. A microfiber sheet set because it's the internet's favorite way to stay cool without cranking the A/C. These sheets have amassed a huge fan base who swear by their breathable, silky feel, especially when summer heat tries to ruin your sleep. They hold up beautifully wash after wash, so you won't find yourself panic-buying new sheets in the middle of August. Mellanni is a family-owned and operated small business in New Jersey that's been making bedding since sheet set has over 256,000 5-star review: "Feel like expensive high-end hotel sheets. I normally use flannel sheets year-round because it's the only material I like, but these are my new favorites. Very soft and cooling. Fit our bed perfectly. I purchased both for our bed and our spare room and have only gotten compliments from guests. Great sheets without the huge sticker price." —Anna Greenlun Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in 15 sizes and 40 colors). A set of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows to replace your old pillows. These are big, fluffy, and soft, and everyone says it feels like you're sleeping at a fancy hotel when you use them. Yes, please! See them in action in TikTok user Aprill Mae's review: "Due to packaging, they are quite flat at first. Laid them flat for a few hours. Shook and fluffed them up and was able to sleep like a baby last night. These pillows are heavenly. I say that because it feels as though you're sleeping on a cloud. I slept with both. One under my head and one to hug. They stayed a comfortable temp all night long. The first morning, I didn't wake up with neck, shoulder, and back pain in over a week and a half. I feel rested and refreshed." —Amazon Customer"These are THE BEST pillows! I'm a side/stomach sleeper, and these provide the perfect amount of support for me. Exactly what I was looking for. I was a bit skeptical, given how inexpensive they are — I'm used to spending a lot on bedding — but I decided to trust the over 200,000 reviews, and I'm so glad I did. Highly, highly recommend." —Irene PopeGet it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes). And a set of silk-like pillowcases for dressing up your bedding without needing to spend big bucks. There are 38 colors available, so you're sure to find the right one for your bed's vibe. Folks say pillowcases with this texture can help reduce skin irritation and hair frizz while you sleep. A six-pack of 100% New Zealand wool dryer balls that silently fight the good fight in your laundry, cutting down drying time, reducing static, and saving you from buying dryer sheets again and again. They're tough, natural, endlessly reusable, and always ready to step up and keep your laundry routine running smoothly. A TubShroom for collecting the mass of hair that would normally clog your drain. When the water in your shower/tub starts to drain slower than usual, pop this product out, clean out the hair it's collected, and insert it back into the drain. This thing collects all the icky loose hair neatly around it (at the bottom, so you can't see it when the TubShroom is in place), so all you have to do is wipe it off! It's super simple, yet so genius that some folks are about ready to make it their religion — read for yourself:Promising review: "The TubShroom is a life changer. To market this simply as a revolutionary bathtub strainer is to degrade the perfection of the TubShroom. People often describe their life split into ages, from childhood to college, from marriage to the birth of their children, career growth to retirement. I see my life divided into two distinct periods centered on one singular event: the gloomy, pestilent dark ages before TubShroom, and all the glorious, magnificent days thereafter. No amount of glowing, favorable adjectives will ever do justice to the magnificence of the TubShroom. These are but feeble, limiting words, which by their very nature, cannot capture the richness, splendor, and transcendent power that is the TubShroom. The TubShroom is embodied enlightenment disguised as a humble implement to avoid bathtub clogs." —Zerubba U LeviGet it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). If you don't have a sunken-in drain that can fit the Tubshroom, Oxo makes a good universal drain protector you can get from Amazon for $11.95. A pack of motion-activated, rechargeable, wireless LED lights to perfectly illuminate your bathroom at night. My bathroom's light switch automatically turns on my obnoxiously loud ceiling fan, which at night can wake up the whole house. Now, whenever I need to use the restroom at night these automatically turn on when I open the door. The light is soft, and provides just enough illumination that I can see where I'm going but not be hit with bright light. A single charge will power the light for about two weeks, and I use this USB charging station to charge all the lights at once (I have a total of six spread throughout my home). Each pack comes with the self-adhesive stickers you'll need to install them. Promising review: "We originally bought two to put in our poorly lit kitchen over the counters to help us see better. They were definitely bright enough for our purposes, and now we plan to buy more for other places in the house as well. The installation is super convenient as the magnet pad is stuck to a surface using self-adhesive, and the light sticks to the magnet, making removing it for charging super easy." —LaurenGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two lengths and either warm or white light). A pet hair remover roller if your pet's hair always ends up on your upholstered furniture. While we love our furry friends and want to cuddle with them always, finding fur and dander all over your stuff is less than ideal. Sofas, blankets, even roller will make sure it all gets removed, and without the need for pesky single-use sticky sheets. A set of blackout curtains because natural light is nice and all, but something you want to sleep in (in total darkness). These aren't just for blocking out sunlight (though they do that) — they also help muffle outside noise so that you can sleep through your neighbor's early morning lawn mowing or your kids' inexplicable 5 a.m. wake-up call. A compact utensil organizer that smartly stacks cutlery instead of placing it side-by-side. If your kitchen feels cramped or has very little drawer space, use this to store all your silverware without taking up much real estate. A sock and underwear organizer because you deserve to open a drawer and actually see what your options are. Gone will be the days of going to grab some socks, bras, or undies, only to find a giant pile of indiscernible fabrics. Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst-case scenario, I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD, and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best, cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. BlackwellGet a four-pack from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in seven colors). A toothpaste squeezer that doubles as a stand so you never waste toothpaste or countertop space again. I'm a person who likes an uncluttered bathroom countertop, and having this hold my toothpaste straight up as opposed to just laying it down frees up space and keeps it looking tidy. It also ensures no toothpaste ever goes to waste; I've noticed since using it that I go way longer between needing a new tube. I just really hate wasting product, but so many bottles and tubes make it impossible to get the last couple of tablespoons of stuff out. I can't stand this! With this squeezer, I literally get ALL the toothpaste out before I need a new tube, and it's soooo satisfying. Promising review: "No instructions come with it, but it is fairly obvious how it works. Bottom of the tube through the body slot into the turnkey slot, and turn the key enough to clamp the tube in place. Stands upright, making a very small footprint. Wind too tight, and you might pop the cap with toothpaste under pressure. Gonna try it with other tubed products, like tomato paste and bacitracin." —Stephanie a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in a pack of red and white or navy and white). A nonslip, quick-dry stone bath mat if you're tired of soggy bath mats that take forever to dry. This is made out of diatomaceous earth (fancy, right?), which dries faster than you can say "bye-bye mildew." Dorai is a small business in Salt Lake City that makes everyday items for the home. Promising review: "The last bathroom mat you will ever need! This product has been a game-changer for us. We liked it so much, we gifted it to a few of our friends, and they all loved it, too! The standout feature is how it almost instantly dries your feet with a unique suction effect—once you experience this, there's no going back to regular bathmats. It's versatile, performing well in both hot and cold weather, and the included slip-resistant rubber mat is a thoughtful addition." —Joshua it from Amazon for $69+ (available in two colors and two styles). A food scooper that easily scoops foodstuff from any smooth surface, like countertops and cutting boards. There is no kitchen tool I use more than this — egg shells and chopped fruit in the mornings, diced and minced veggies throughout the day, and even food scraps when I'm cleaning as I cook. The side walls mean you can scoop large portions of stuff without it falling off the sides, which is great when you're cooking a big meal. I also use this for clean-up, which has dramatically cut down on the time it takes to finish the job. ALSO, I've had this for maybe three years, and it looks as good and works as great as the very first time I used it. Promising review: "If you prepare food on a daily basis, then this tool for scraping food off a wood block or food prep surface is golden. Easy to clean, easy to use, and much better than those scrapers without side walls." —K. Jorgensen Get it from Amazon for $14.39. A multi-plug outlet with six electric outlets, two USB ports, and a built-in night-light. The night-light has three levels of brightness and can turn on automatically when it senses the area getting dark. A U-shaped modular sectional with ample storage that reconfigures into a full-size mattress. This piece ships in seven packages that you assemble on-site, which is perfect for those of us who need a big sectional but have a home with small doors, narrow hallways, and tight corners. Promising review: "So happy that we got this. You could split this up into two couches, one being a chair or loveseat. My favorite is to convert this to a bed and do movie nights! This has been great for extra sleeping space for guests, which we have used a few times already. Coming in clutch! Also, all the storage is perfect for extra blankets, games, or snacks. Live it up! Easy to move the squares around, once you do it the first time, you'll be a pro. Cannot stop recommending this to family and friends." —TayTayGet it from Amazon for $999.99+ (available in two colors and four sizes/configurations). A dishwasher magnet to let you know if the dishes are clean or dirty. With just one swipe you never have to worry about unloading dishes that haven't actually been washed. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" that'll make balancing drinks on the couch feel like less of a high-stakes operation. It keeps your cups, mugs, and bottles upright and within reach — no more tragic coffee spills or fumbling for your water in the dark. A set of glass meal-prep containers with three compartments that'll make you feel like the kind of person who has their life together. These sturdy, microwave-safe containers keep your meals fresh without staining, warping, or absorbing that mysterious fridge smell. Plus, the locking lids mean you can actually trust them not to leak all over your bag. This set comes with to-go sauce cups, too!Promising review: "Amazing! Best bento-style lunch container I have found so far! Easy to clean, and lunch can be reheated in the oven (or microwave)! The glass is nice and thick, and if you are clumsy, no worries, it hasn't broken yet even though I drop it all the time! Nice deep sections allow for a LOT of food!" —DanielleGet them from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in a variety of quantities and styles) A roll-up drying rack so you can let dishes and produce dry without taking up valuable countertop space. And because it goes over the sink, no need to worry about water dripping all over the place. A tiny but mighty Levoit air purifier that'll have you breathing cleaner, fresher air without overcomplicating things. It quietly zaps dust, pet dander, and mystery particles floating around your home, so you're not just marinating in allergens all day. Promising reviews: "This air purifier is the best we have found. We have four different kinds of air purifiers in our home, as my spouse has immense allergy problems. None of the others work as good as this one. The first week, we tried this in our living space. It pulled so much dust out of the air; there was a dust sheet on the filter. We cleaned it off and moved it to our bedroom. His sleep improved immensely! We purchased a second air filter for our den, where he spends most of his time. As the other purifiers break, we will replace them with this one." —TrishaGet it from Amazon for $99.99+ (also available in black). A set of fridge organizers because you deserve to open your fridge and know exactly where everything is. The bins even stack if you're really trying to get the most out of your fridge space. A CovoBox that provides hidden storage for unsightly things like routers and bulky cords. Each box is made right here in the US with real wood and reclaimed books. A garlic chopper to mince or chop garlic for you. You literally just put up to five regular-size cloves in it and then use your hand to roll this thing on any smooth surface, and it chops it all up in a matter of seconds. If you want to mince it, you keep rolling for maybe 10 more seconds. I have one of these, and sticky hands and knives are now a thing of the past. Promising review: "Love! Love! Love the GarlicZoom! Mincing garlic has never been easier or fun. It makes mince work out of garlic, onion, chilies, and herbs. I'm not sure what I love most about this little gadget. Not smelling stinky garlic fingers all night? No burning fingers or eyes from chopping a super hot chile? Or mincing fresh herbs in a blink of an eye. I have a problem wrist from an injury and an arm and hand that suffers from nerve damage. I can still manage to zoom this. When people ask if they can help in the kitchen, this is the chore that I give them, and everyone loves it. They think it's the neatest little thing." —Kennedy CollinsGet it from Amazon for $16.25. A dual under-the-cabinet trash system so your trash and recycling don't have to be on display for anyone who walks into your kitchen. Instead, have it tucked away in its own cabinet, out of sight and out of mind until it's time to use it. A magnetic stove shelf to turn that unused space on the top of your stove into a fully functional shelf, no installation required. It also has a small back lip, so you needn't worry about stuff slipping off behind the stove, never to be seen again. StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves. Promising review: "This is amazing and I have no idea why I didn't buy one of these years ago!!! My new stove wouldn't get close enough to the wall to allow me to rest anything on top without it falling behind. This was absolutely PERFECT. I am very happy that the magnets provided were able to be moved. This allowed me to place them perfectly for maximum hold because my top was slightly curved." —JStillGet it from StoveShelf on Amazon for $39.99 (available in size colors and three sizes from 24" to 30"). A windproof rechargeable lighter for all your candles and fireplace needs. The flexible neck makes it easy to light hard-to-reach wicks, and it'll spark 400 times before recharging. Some under-bed storage containers to keep bulky clothing, shoes, and extra bedding out of sight and out of mind (but still accessible)! You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, whatever you have too much of. Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly DornGet it from Amazon for $11.87+ (available in seven styles). A pack of six furniture markers for covering up small nicks and cuts in your wood furniture and floors. Each kit comes with the most common wood colors (cherry, mahogany, walnut, black, maple, and oak) and matching crayons for easy filling when the damaged area is a little deep. Promising review: "I am thoroughly impressed! We have a 115-plus-year-old house, and we only have hardwood in our downstairs hall and den. We didn't want to spend tons of money because we are probably going to be replacing the flooring in a few years. I'm actually still working on this as I'm writing this, but I am so impressed that I just had to write a review right away. The only 'negative' I have is that the colors are darker than the caps show, but it's not a big deal. For the money, you can't go wrong." —BorgGet them from Amazon for $8.99. A colorful Great Jones x Fellow electric gooseneck kettle that's a triple threat. The extra long and angled spout gives you more precision when you're making your morning pour-over coffee, its gorgeous color and sleek design will look amazing on your countertop, and it heats water up super fast. I live in a multigenerational household and several of the adults are really specific about how to create their morning cup of coffee, especially my husband and my mom. We got this kettle, and it has made making a cup of coffee (which, if I'm being honest, happens several times a day) such a better experience. The gooseneck means we have precise control over water flow and pouring speed, which ensures even extraction and a balanced, flavorful cup of coffee. And because it's so aesthetically pleasing, I don't mind having it out on the countertop all the time (which, unfortunately, I can't say for a few of the other small appliances I use daily). It also heats up water super fast! Promising review: "Fantastic kettle - temp control is fantastic, the controls super user friendly, and heats up quick. The color is also absolutely stunning! 10/10 would recommend." —Makinna Get it from Great Jones for $195 (there's also a blue version available). And a pack of refillable multi-surface touch up paint pens to effortlessly fix scratches and nicks on walls and doors. Just fill up a pen with paint of your choice and brush the problem area. Slobproof is a small business that makes paint touch-up review: "I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I moved into a house with older wood cabinets, and because it's such a small kitchen I knew that painting the cabinets white (actually went with cream!) would make it feel so much larger! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch up pens stay in my junk drawer full of paint at all times. The cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." —Claire FloresGet it from Slobproof on Amazon for $14.99+ (available in packs of two or five).

Promising review:"Found this product on TikTok. I don't think I've ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What's more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" — Rachel in CLT Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 2. A set of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows to replace your old pillows. These are big, fluffy, and soft, and everyone says it feels like you're sleeping at a fancy hotel when you use them. Yes, please! See them in action in TikTok user Aprill Mae's video. Promising review: "Due to packaging, they are quite flat at first. Laid them flat for a few hours. Shook and fluffed them up and was able to sleep like a baby last night. These pillows are heavenly. I say that because it feels as though you're sleeping on a cloud. I slept with both. One under my head and one to hug. They stayed a comfortable temp all night long. First morning I didn't wake up with neck, shoulder and back pain in over a week and a half. I feel rested and refreshed." — Amazon Customer "These are THE BEST pillows! I'm a side/stomach sleeper and these provide the perfect amount of support for me. Exactly what I was looking for. I was a bit skeptical given how inexpensive they are — I'm used to spending a lot on bedding — but decided to trust the over 200,000 reviews and I'm so glad I did. Highly, highly recommend." — Irene Pope Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in Queen or King sizes and two material types). 3. Some metal bathroom shelves with super strong adhesive that can hold up to 15 pounds each. No more dangling a shower caddy around your shower head! Promising review: "If you are looking for some shower space and you don't want to tear out your shower to build in the these babies. They stick great, and hold a ton of stuff! It took our shower from looking cluttered and always having stuff fall underfoot to looking put together, and having everything be right where you need it to get to it. I use liter bottles of shampoo and conditioner and these babies hold both in one basket. Pick up a set, you won't be disappointed. Also, if you have two showers and only need one basket in each you can split them and get storage in both showers that match perfectly!!" — Chris Get it from Amazon for $28.90+ (available in four finishes). 4. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 5. A veggie chopper to chop, spiralize, dice, and slice produce within seconds. You put half of an apple, potato, onion, etc. on it, and with one push it'll work its magic and push all the chopped pieces into a container underneath. Perfect for those of us who need/like to whip up a big meal for a big crowd as quickly as possible! Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $18.38+ (available in three colors). 6. A soft muslin throw blanket to give your favorite reading nook, TV watching spot, or bed a big dose of cozy. In the warmer months, it's soft, thin, and breathable enough to be all you need while you sleep, and in the colder months, it's a great extra layer over your sheets so you stay warm all night. Amazon, Promising review: "This blanket is the most amazing thing ever! It is incredibly soft and lightweight. It is warm but not overwhelming. It looks great as a throw for decoration but so comfortable you have to use." — Fairykisses Get it from Amazon for $25.71+ (available in 23 colors and six sizes). 7. A metal canopy bed to give your bedroom a contemporary look. Because it's a platform bed, the frame does not require a boxspring for the mattress. And it's tall enough that you can store boxes underneath, which is great if you live in a place with limited storage. Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for! Inexpensive, but very sturdy. I've had it for about a year and a half now, and there are no signs of chipping or anything on the finish. I have a foam mattress on it... didn't need a boxspring. It's lightweight but very sturdy. It's tall enough for my dog to sleep underneath and for under bed storage." — Carla Get it from Amazon for $185+ (available in Full and Queen sizes). 8. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray that works overnight to remove all the soup scum and other grossness from your bathroom. Simply spray the area that needs to be cleaned, and in the morning give it a quick rinse to make it like new again. Amazon Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents). 9. A set of stainless-steel and glass soap dispensers to upgrade the sophistication in your bathroom, and keep your bathing products neat and organized. Promising review:"I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something that seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." — Rebecca Morea Get set of two from Amazon for $14.99. 10. A bottle of Folex spot remover for instantly removing literally any stain from any soft surface, aka carpets and upholstery. I'm talking pet stains, wine, vomit, foodstuff, even blood. A true miracle product! Be sure to check out our full write-up on this Folex stain remover! Promising reviews:"So my dog got into my makeup bag and got ahold of some liquid lipstick and, needless to say, I flipped out to see my carpets neon orange. It took about an hour and two rolls of paper towels but holy moly! WOW did this stuff work! My mother recommended it to me after using it on minor stains at her house and I'm so glad I got it. Definitely worth the money and it really does disappear right before your eyes like the bottle says!" — Jen "The reviews and before/after pics had me curious, but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn't set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years and I'm amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains but that's my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle you will not be disappointed!" — LMK32294 Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multiple packs). 11. A printable Wi-Fi sign that'll show guests your network name and password so they can log on without your assistance. This is a downloadable file, so if you ever need to change your network's name or password you just edit the original copy and print a new sign. Pastel Design Studio is a woman-owned small business based in North Carolina making original printable art and graphic resources. Promising review: "The cutest Wi-Fi sign! Can't wait to put it up for our guests this weekend! Love that I can change the details when we move and change passwords! So cute!" — Hannah 12. Some gold and velvet barstools for adding instant glam to any kitchen. A huge interior design trend right now is using velvet and gold together, so this is an instant win. Promising review: "I've been looking for chairs similar to these for a few years now. They are the perfect size and match my decor beautifully. Came in excellent condition and very easy to assemble. Great value for the cost. They look high-end. Very pleased with my purchase." — Krissy Get it from Amazon for $117.66+ (available in four colors and either gold or chrome finishes). 13. A box of cleaning K-Cups to make your machine like new again. These cleaning cups pop into your machine just like a coffee pod, and all you need to do is press the cycle button for it to do its cleaning thing. It'll remove the build up of old grinds and residues, and drastically improve the way your coffee and espresso tastes. Quick and Clean is a small business that makes k-cup cleaning pods. Promising review:"Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" — Dara Pazooki Get a box of six pods from Amazon for $9.95. 14. A bundle of faux jasmine flowers so you have a bouquet always available for styling, because it's such a bummer when you spend big bucks on a fresh cut flowers, only to have them wilt a few days later. 15. An armless office chair so you can finally sit comfortably cross-legged while you work. So many of us spend at least some time working from home, so make sure you have a versatile chair that lets you get into a position that works for you. Promising review: "If you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing, comfy chair — this is it. I was looking for something that would be comfortable enough to get me to work out of bed (a vice of mine). I prefer wide chairs so I can sit cross legged or any other position that strikes my fancy. Roller chairs bug me and my room is too small for me to need that much mobility. Plus, since the chair has no arms, it easily slides under my desk, making my room feel more spacious when I'm not working. It's really gorgeous and I'm so happy I found it. Worth every penny." — alexander bank Get it from Amazon for $88.20+ (available in six styles and colors). 16. A 100% jute rug for giving your floors a little texture and style that's still neutral. Jute is 100% natural and very soft underfoot, and lasts a lot longer than other fibers because it doesn't break down as quickly. Promising review: "I absolutely love this rug! I wanted a farmhouse look and so I ordered this rug for my dining area. I am pleased that it is softer than I imagined it would be. I thought it would be course and itchy, but it's not! Love love love it! I got the 6-foot round rug which will eventually sit under my new dining table. It has been down for two days now and the rug has almost completely relaxed too, which none of my other rugs have done so quickly." — Vicky Barboza Get it from Amazon for $25.67+ (available in 37 sizes and 11 colors). 17. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper if you want to give your bathroom a visual upgrade, but not necessarily a permanent one. Because it's peel-and-stick, simply peel it off when you want to remove it and it'll leave no trace behind. Check out our comprehensive guide to buying wallpaper online. Promising review: "Love, love, love this wall paper!!! It is beautiful and unique, refined and elegant, and heavy-duty quality. I found it super easy to install, though I opted to use it for a room border versus full wall coverage. I also found it very forgiving, allowing me to pull it back off and adjust areas without leaving permanent dents in the design. It gave my son's bedroom a whole new look and I have gotten lots of compliments on this wallpaper!" — MB Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in frost, navy, and powder). 18. A three-lamp wall sconce to give your bathroom more light and style. Blackened steel is all the rage right now, but it's also a timeless finish that goes with nearly every interior design style. A win-win! Promising review: "I really wanted a black light fixture for my bathroom remodel, but most of them are high dollar. I found this for half the price of most fixtures and it's perfect! It looks better in person and ties the room together perfectly. I love it! Don't look anywhere else!" — Jayme Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in two styles and packs of one or two). 19. A vinyl mat that looks like tile if your bathroom flooring leaves a lot to be desired. It's also antifungal, hypoallergenic, thermal insulated, and 100% recyclable. Art Maison Canada is a small business in Canada that makes vinyl art mats. Promising review: "It's gorgeous, surprisingly comfortable under foot, and the sturdiest, most washable bathmat we've ever owned. Definitely going to get another for the other bathroom." — Abigail Brown Get it from Art Maison Canada on Etsy for $40.08+ (available in five sizes). 20. A gold end table with a charcoal-gray top to replace your bulky nightstand. The tabletop has a lip that curves upward around the edge, so if you ever spill snacks or liquids it won't make a mess on the floor. Amazon Promising review:"This table is FANTASTIC. Putting it together literally took three minutes. It's sturdy, attractive, and the perfect size for decor and some books. HIGHLY recommend." — KayKay Get it from Amazon for $23.02+ (available in nine color combos). 21. Some floating shelves to install in your bathroom so you have a dedicated space for showing off your candles, bouquets, and fancy hand towels. Promising review:"These shelves are so beautiful! My bathroom doesn't have a counter around the sink so this is perfect. It is modern and sleek and the wood and cast-iron shelves are very well built and sturdy. I was surprised that these are such high quality considering the price." — Vincent Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors). 22. A tufted headboard for adding a soft touch to your bedroom without needing to purchase an entire pricey bed frame. This way, when you decide to binge watch The Real Housewives in bed, your back won't be up against the literal wall. Promising review: 'I wish there was more than 5 STARS. This headboard is beautiful, very well made, the legs are easy to put on, comes with everything you need. The color, fabric, and button tufting is magnificent!!! When I finish building my home I will be purchasing more for the guest rooms. I bought a king size and it fits perfectly. A+ on quality and got it four days before estimated delivery.' — D.B. Get it from Amazon for $91.92+ (available in twin, full, and queen and nine colors) 23. A super thin electric fireplace that's designed to mount directly on the wall, no construction required. It comes with a remote control that lets you adjust the flame colors and speed, and set a timer. Promising review: "Installation was quick and easy, it's very very slim to the wall profile-wise. The heat output is great and it's quiet, it's heating an approximately 1,000-square foot basement to comfortable levels. I was frozen down here, now I just set the fireplace on low and it's 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus it looks awesome, the remote is easy enough to use. I've had tons of compliments on it." — Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in seven sizes). 24. A wireless library light to softly illuminate your favorite art piece or collection of books. These mount to the wall with just a few quick steps, are battery operated, and controlled via remote. The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation your self. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!) and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Promising review: "For the price, you can't beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." — Paris Seder Get it from Amazon for $26.09+ (available in three colors). 25. A three-drawer accent dresser with mirrored fronts for a touch of drama. Sooooo many nightstands are just a table with a small drawer, but what if you have actual stuff you need to store? Here's your solution, people! Promising review: 'Buy it!!!!! Absolutely stunning little dresser/night table. I am blown away by how well it's made and how well it was packaged. You can see that the particleboard that it was packaged with on top is sturdier than most Ikea furniture! I love this style and have not been able to find anything like this in stores. Each piece is unique since it's real wood! The drawers are soft closing and deep. It comes ready to go, aside from the legs which you must attach. I had some issues and customer service was quick and solved my issue! I will be purchasing additional furniture from this company and have already recommended them to my sister. I can't stop staring at it ❤️.' — Carmen Petru Tudosa Get it from Amazon for $159.98. 26. A panel of velvet blackout curtains that are as beautiful as they are effective. They can block out up to 75% of sunlight, so your room stays warm longer in the winter and cooler in the summer. They're also machine washable, because you never know. Promising review: "These curtains are beautiful! They're even more beautiful in person. Love the velvet touch, plus the emerald color looks so elegant. Before you hang them, I would advise you steam them to get the wrinkle out. I can't wait to get another color! You'll be happy with your purchase." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors). 27. And an adjustable gold curtain rod to elevate your window game even further. Reviewers comment on how sturdy they are — perfect for heavier-than-usual window treatments. Promising review:"I think this curtain rod is a great product. It is well-made, has good hardware, and is a good price for this quality. I have purchased a total of three now. I love the matte gold in my modern farmhouse-style home. It is a nice dark matte gold, rather than some products that are more yellow gold. I have a big window in my dining room that has quite a bit of weight on the curtain rod from velvet drapes, and it is not sagging at all. This will be my go-to curtain rod for my entire (new) home." — Aerus Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five widths and three colors). 28. Some LED Lights to add some extra lighting to your kitchen that can be voice-controlled via Alexa and Google Home. These light strips are super easy to install and have a color spectrum of over 16 million colors. They can even sync with your music! Promising review:"We love our new strip lights so much that I decided to buy a second set. The first one was installed above the kitchen cabinets, where we placed some artwork and vases. The second set was placed under the kitchen island top. Grandkids love speaking to Alexa to change the colors of the lights. Set up was extremely easy, and it works with the Alexa app." — junin07 Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four lengths). 29. A microfiber quilt set to give your bed a cohesive look. I know you've spent years accumulating a pillowcase here, a quilt there, but it's time to upgrade to a set. Amazon The set comes with a coverlet and shams. Promising review:"I bought this for a vacation home we own. I wanted something lightweight and inexpensive that would do the job. My husband and I visited for a week and we're so pleasantly surprised. We love this bedding! I've always been a big comfy comforter person. Now I'm not, because of this awesome quilt." — J. Dermody Get the set from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four sizes and 16 colors). 30. A floor lamp that can light up any area of any room thanks to its bright light but won't make too much of a visual impact thanks to its minimalist design. The white lampshade will also diffuse the light so it's nice and soft. Promising review:"Beyond easy to put together, I didn't even look at the instructions. You have to clip on the shade to assemble — I didn't expect that but it was super easy (you can't tell by looking at it). The whole thing took me about five minutes. Looks great in my room." — NTP Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in brass and black) 31. And a multi-globe floor lamp with mid-century modern vibes for adding a lot of light to any room with only one fixture. Promising review: "After seeing an orb lamp at West Elm I went looking for one that isn't $500. This lamp is definitely a shiny, brassy gold and not a satin, champagne-color gold, but I actually love the color! My new house has a much more vintage, art-deco vibe than my last place, and I think it fits right in with that. The milky orbs are beautiful and make the light nice and warm. It is pretty bright, but that works for me. I have it in a corner of my office that I don't look directly at very often, and I think it will be the perfect alternative to overhead lights. All-in-all, I'm a huge fan and highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $87.09+ (available in three finishes).
