Just 31 Products To Upgrade Your Home This Summer
An Amazon smart thermostat so you can control the temperature without ever leaving your bed, which is the level of convenience you truly deserve. It connects to the Alexa app so you can change the temp and track your HVAC energy use on your phone, even when you're not at home.
A free-standing hammock with a steel stand that's strong and spacious enough to hold two people, so you and your summer love can soak up some sun. It's also designed to be put together in 10 minutes with ZERO tools, so you won't have to waste any precious daylight fumbling around with a screwdriver.
A window cling that'll add a bit of extra privacy and, more importantly, fill your room with colorful rainbows! Thousands of reviewers love it, saying that it lets just enough light in while still providing similar privacy to blinds or curtains. Best of all, it's easily removable, so you won't risk damaging your window.
Game-changing ceiling fan pulls to help you finally remember which cord is for the light and which one is for the actual fan — because pulling the wrong one is enough to put you in a horrible mood when you're already having a bad day. Honestly, these deserve a spot in the Genius Products Hall of Fame.
A set of four tiki torches if you're looking for a super decorative way to light up your dark backyard — and keep the bugs away! You can fill this with citronella oil and get up to six hours of mosquito-repelling ambiance. It's honestly a total vibe, so only purchase this if you want your backyard to become everyone's new favorite hangout spot.
A magnetic screen door that is super easy to install and will let you circulate some fresh air without letting any pesky bugs in. The magnet closures help it to open easily, but close securely and quickly — so it's also perfect for letting your dogs run in and out by themselves.
A set of adhesive strips to close the gap under your door and stop any annoying drafts. It'll make it much easier to cool down your home in the summer while keeping the hot air inside during the winter. And it'll also keep bugs, dirt, and leaves outside where they belong!
A super-fun twisty sprinkler that's perfect for doggos and kiddos — or full-grown adultos just looking to cool off. Connect it to a standard garden hose and you'll be instantly transported to your days of splashing and splashing in the water park.
Globe string lights to turn your backyard into the ultimate hangout spot, because let's face it, string lights can transform any space into an Instagram-worthy moment. They're waterproof, windproof, AND shatterproof, so you won't have to worry about a broken bulb ruining the party.
Or! A pack of solar-powered waterproof deck lights you'll be so thankful to have when reading in the sunshine turns into sipping on pinot grigio and watching the sunset. You can place them along any stairs, balconies, railings, pathways, or anywhere else you need some extra light.
An oscillating tower fan for anyone who is determined not to touch the AC until absolutely necessary. Reviewers say it's super quiet, so your partner or roommate won't give you the side-eye every time you turn it on. There's also a special nighttime setting that slowly decreases the fan speed while you sleep, which your body temperature will greatly appreciate.
A wonderfully elegant patio set featuring two sturdy chairs (with cushions!) and a compact side table that's perfect for kicking back and enjoying some bevs with your bestie. The spacious table features a durable glass topper that makes it easy to clean, and reviewers say the cushioned seats are surprisingly comfy for the low price point.
Or a more compact and colorful three-piece patio set that'll make you the envy of all your neighbors. "Did a new Parisian café just open next door?!" Not quite, but your front porch will become everyone's new favorite hangout spot thanks to the surprisingly spacious table and comfy chairs that don't take up tons of space. Stock up on croissants and espresso — your friends will be stopping by more often.
A portable grill so you can keep the festive barbecues going all season long, even if you don't have tons of space for a full-size grill. It has a quick-fold design so you can fold it, roll it, and store it once you're done whipping up some burgers.
A cooling memory foam mattress topper that'll instantly upgrade your bed and have you feeling like you checked into The White Lotus for summer break... without the murder, of course. It's perfect for adding a soft layer on top of a too-firm mattress, and hundreds of reviewers have even compared it to sleeping on a cloud. ☁️
A wildly popular 400-thread count cotton sateen sheet set so soft and cooling, you'll never throw them off you in the middle of the night when you suddenly get overheated. Bonus — reviewers say these hold up super well after repeated washings with very few wrinkles and no shrinkage!
A set of incredibly popular water-resistant zero-gravity chairs that'll have you feeling like you're floating on a cloud instead of lounging outside in the summer heat. The elastic cords and reclining design help provide that ~weightless~ sensation, and there's even a snap-on side table with spots for your phone, drink, and current poolside read.
A Levoit air-purifier with a three-stage filtration system to capture the pesky allergens floating around your home that are in a full-on war with your sinuses. This will even help capture pet hair if the change of weather is causing your fluffy friend to shed more fur than you even knew was on its little body.
A compact dehumidifier so your AC doesn't have to fight against the diabolical humidity that's making it impossible to relax. This basically works by sucking in damp air, trapping the moisture in the water tank, and then blowing out dry air. It works best in small spaces up to 280 square feet, so prepare for this to be your new fave bedroom appliance.
A bundle of fresh eucalyptus that'll fill your bathroom with relaxing fragrance so you'll basically be transported to a fancy spa every time you take a shower. It comes with an adhesive hook, so all you have to do is hang it upside down and keep the stems away from the direct flow of water. Pair it with a towel warmer, and you might never feel the need to go to a spa again. Well, except for when you're craving a glass of fresh cucumber water — it never tastes the same at home.
A set of blackout curtains — trust me, you'll want these on those early summer mornings when the sun feels like it burst through your window like the Kool-Aid Man to personally wake you up. Oh, and they also help reduce ambient noise by up to 30%, so they'll drown out the garbage truck when it barrels through at 6:2tooearly in the morning.
A portable 100-inch movie screen so you can watch your annual viewing of 500 Days of Summer in a suitably extra fashion. It's designed to be easily set up in just 10 minutes by one person — just don't forget the projector! Reviewers say it's super lightweight and that the screen quality is excellent. I personally will be buying this to host a 20th anniversary screening of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
A cooling blanket for all my fellow hot sleepers who still like the feeling of curling up under sheets. It's made with "Arc-Chill" cooling fibers that absorb body heat and transfer moisture from the skin, so you won't wake up covered in sweat.
A fruit fly trap so you can finally leave your produce out on the counter without attracting any unwanted flying guests. The liquid lure lasts for 45 days, and there's also a window so you can see that it's actually working. It even looks like an apple, so it'll blend in perfectly in your fruit bowl. ~Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious!~
A set of metal hanging flower pots to add a dash of rainbow whimsy to your drab fence or balcony railing. You can also use them indoors as ridiculously adorable storage containers for arts and crafts supplies, faux flowers, or even snacks.
A seriously chic side table that's hiding a seriously cool secret — it's actually a cooler! Just pop the top to grab an ice-cold drink and then use the elevated portion as a handy table for the official snack of summer: chips and guac.
A soft-serve maker to turn frozen fruit into an ice cream-like dessert without all the hassle of making actual homemade ice cream. Just add the frozen fruit of your choice to the chute, push down with the plunger, and watch as a creamy, soft-serve-like concoction makes its way into your bowl.
A desk-friendly HappyLight sunlamp that'll add a bright glow to any room that doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight — so it can basically be summer all year as far as your bedroom is concerned. It's meant to help improve your mood and energy levels, meaning you can spend the day getting stuff done instead of counting down the minutes until your daily hot girl walk.
A super absorbent Muddy Mat to stop dirty paw prints in their tracks! It may look like a simple doormat, but pet owners say this one actually traps dirt and water from their pup's paws when coming back inside after getting out all their zoomies. Oh, and it also works on kids/spouses/roomies/etc. who simply can't be bothered to wipe their feet off. Just take deep breaths, the Muddy Mat has you covered.
A screen-cleaning brush, because what good is all this sunshine if you can't even look out of the window and enjoy it?! If your window screens need a good deep cleaning, you can wet this with soap and water to break down stubborn grime. Then use it dry once you see any dirt start to accumulate.
A cordless portable bath jet spa — it'll basically give you the bubbling jetted tub of your dreams without having to drop Jacuzzi money. Just attach this under the spout in your bathtub and then choose between "jet mode" or "bubble mode." Of course, you'll then need to choose between "read-with-a-glass-of-wine mode" or "zone-out-and-listen-to-SZA mode."
