37 Smart Purchases That'll Help You Transform Your Teeny Tiny Apartment In 2025

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · A new (organized) you. 1. A flat outlet plug that can be placed behind furniture so you can utilize every single outlet in your home. Do you only have a single outlet in your living room and it happens to be on the only wall that fits your couch? Well, that's no longer a problem!! Promising review: "So first off, I have to say this is a genius idea! I highly recommend this product because it completely solves the issue of wasting two perfectly usable outlets behind cabinets or shelves!! Not to mention, each extension cord has an extra three plugs, so you literally get triple the number of plugs from one outlet. The only slight drawback I would say is the high price. But honestly, it's so worth it. I bought two sets for the two outlets that have been hidden away behind two bookshelves. I spent the weekend installing them, and I now have 12 additional plugs that I can use!! Huge difference!" — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four different lengths/styles). 2. A circular lift-top table if your living room also happens to be your home office and dining room. Plus, the hidden storage keeps your small space nice and clutter free which happens to trick our lil' lizard brains into thinking the room is bigger than it is. Promising review: "I wanted a lift-top table that was both round (so my big dog can walk around it without getting stuck) and small enough for my space and this was really the only one I could find. I'm very happy with it. My husband and I lift it up and eat dinner while watching Netflix once or twice a week. It isn't soft close, but it also won't pinch your fingers. Just hold onto it when closing it, or it will slam down." — Bbqsauce Get it from Amazon for $83.62+ (available in three finishes). 3. Orrrr a sofa tray if you literally don't have room for a coffee table! Amazon Promising review: "I don't have and prefer not to use a coffee or end table. This is the perfect extra touch to have something where I can put down my drink or plate of snacks." — Yael Neubauer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five finishes). 4. Some Wonder Hangers — point blank, period. They'll ~triple~ your closet space so you can snatch every trending piece you come across on TikTok. Check out how they work on TikTok here! And PS: Wonder Hanger is a small biz! Promising review:"Been trying to organize my closet with so many different ideas. Decided to order these and they are worth every penny! Most organizers don't accommodate thick hangers and these do, so I am one happy camper!" — Met Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors and packs of 10 or 24). 5. A foldable nonslip sink cover if you have zeroooo vanity space to work with. This lil' tray gives you a sturdy surface without blocking your faucet, so if you're doing makeup and need to wet your Beautyblender, you don't have to rearrange everything. PS: Sink Topper is a small biz! Promising reviews: "Worth every penny! I was about to buy a brand new vanity! This product saved me over $1,000 bucks!" — Barbara Mulvey "Came across this on IG, and immediately went looking for one. It's very well designed in terms of stability, so as long as you obviously put your heavier items along the perimeter, it's super sturdy. I'm moving, and there is no sink space at the new place, so this is simply a godsend (especially with the hot flat iron issue and not wanting to burn the sink). The faucet gap is perfect, so if anyone needs to use the sink while you're getting ready, you don't have to move everything. It's just a really solid product, and I'm glad I came across it." — J Kit Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 6. A set of adjustable mug organizers so you can confidently open your cupboard knowing an avalanche of mugs isn't about to fall on you. Amazon Elypro — the creator of this nifty gadget — is a small biz! Promising review: "I came across these in an Amazon review on TikTok and I just had to have them for my mugs. I have a lot of mugs, but no space. I didn't want a hanging mechanism for the mugs I just needed a way to stack them. This is such a great product to help stack mugs. They're easily adjustable for any size mug. They don't topple over, they're very sturdy. One of the best space savers I have in the kitchen!" — Magdalynn Tibbetts Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 7. A magnetic stove shelf on which you can stack your go-to spices, oils, and kitschy salt and pepper shakers. Amazon StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves. Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action. Promising review:"I had no problems with installation. It's secure and doesn't move, and I was genuinely surprised at how much counter space I freed up. Now, it makes more intuitive sense to reach in front of me for my frequently grabbed cooking items on the StoveShelf (EVOO, S&P, etc.) instead of reaching off to the side to wherever I set it down last." — Online Shopper Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and in three finishes). 8. A self-expanding shower curtain that gives you way more room, prevents dreaded curtain cling, and doesn't require a curved rod! It's so easy to set up, you don't even need rings. Amazon Space is a small business that's passionate about eliminating curtain cling and giving people more shower space! Their design is also machine-washable, so you don't have to replace it like a run-of-the-mill liner. Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building, so I have an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. Every time I'd shower, I'd be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move, either. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. 100% would purchase again." — Brittany Hopkins Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in five colors). 9. A set of two cabinet shelf organizers so you can elevate your mug collection and make room for more because look, you *will* be buying at least one next time you go to Target. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE my new organizational wooden stands. They arrived today, and as soon as I easily put them together, I was surprised at how great they looked. The texture is better than expected, very sturdy, looks great on my kitchen counter, and turned my messy counter into a nice display of items I use daily. I'm so in love with these I'm going to buy more for other areas if the house and my adult kids think they're great, so thinking about getting them as stocking stuffers!!!!" — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $18.04+ (available in 12 finishes and two sizes). 10. A hanging laundry hamper because let's be real, when you hop in the shower, you throw your clothes in a pile on the bathroom floor and they stay there until you know you have company coming over lol. Promising review:"Very convenient. I'd been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn't just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn't a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall, narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door, and one hanging from a towel rack and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin, and I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket, and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them." — D. Jelte Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two). 11. A baseball hat organizer that'll keep your caps in one central location without taking up much space at all. Even better, the DomeDock will keep them in tip-top shape as you won't accidentally step on them or throw your platform boots on top of them the next time you quickly toss stuff in your closet. Amazon PS: DomeDock is a small biz! Promising review: "This is the perfect solution to keep your hats organized. Each organizer holds about a dozen hats. The hats stay put and don't fall over. As long as you tuck them properly, then they stay put and won't get messed up. Definitely worth buying." — FarraB Get it from Amazon for $21.24+ (available in white or black and individually or as a two-pack). 12. A macramé fruit hammock so your bananas, apples, and oranges can enjoy their last days on Earth in comfort. Little do they know they're about to be devoured. 😈 KnappsKnots is a San Diego–based small business from Anastasia Knapp. Promising reviews:"Absolutely loved it! Perfect if you have little counter space." — Jessi "Love it. Might get another for bread and buns. The clearance between our counter and upper cabinets is weirdly short — can't fit most countertop items — so this was the perfect solution" — pogtotes And here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has to say: "I recently picked up this macrame basket (in the Cactus shade) and *highly* recommend it if you're looking to add a cozy touch to your kitchen. As someone with a relatively small NYC kitchen, I need every bit of counter space I can get, and this lets me keep produce out without having to take up space with a fruit basket or banana stand. I'm a big fan of utilizing vertical space as storage, and this does just that; plus, it allows for ventilation to help your fruit stay fresh for longer. I'm constantly cooking with onions or grabbing an apple as a mid-day snack, and having them right there at an arm's reach is sooo nice. BTW, these come with hooks that screw directly into a cabinet, but if you (like me) want to avoid that damage, I recommend using Command hooks — I'm using four of these small toggle hooks and they've held up the basket *with* produce in it wonderfully." Get it from KnappsKnots on Etsy for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors). 13. An expandable two-tier organizer because every time you put a cleaning product back in the cabinet under your kitchen sink, you have approx. one millisecond to slam the door shut before everything tumbles out. With this, you can open the door any dang time you want just to admire how well organized you are. The shelving unit is suitable for most cabinets as you can adjust the height to four different levels (2, 5, 9, and 13 inches tall) and expand the rail anywhere between 15–25 inches. Since the dimensions aren't one-size-fits-all, it also comes with three large panels and four small panels, so you can adjust the shelves. Promising review: "I held back on buying an under-sink shelf because of the price, but this is so worth it because of how adjustable it is! This thing has made that mini-cave of an under-sink area way more organized, with stuff easier to get to or move out of the way. The two widths of shelf pieces are a smart touch; they accommodate a wide variety of drains under kitchen sinks. I didn't use all the shelf pieces because of the extra-wide and deep drain in my apartment. I think the only thing that would make this perfect for me is a cosmetic thing — a chrome version or a matte black. But since it's under the sink, the color is fine and close enough." — Kevin M. Get it from Amazon for $24.47 (available in three finishes). 14. A combination velvet storage ottoman/table ideal for those with little to no space. Use it as a seat if you have extra guests or if it's just you, flip over the lid and you'll find a wooden tray perfect for balancing your dinner. Amazon My colleague Emma Lord has one and here's what she has to say: " I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)." Promising review: "I love this versatile stool! It's stylish, well-made, and extremely easy to assemble. When used for seating, it's comfortable and sturdy; when used as an end table it adds such a fun design element for any space. The storage is also a bonus if you are living in small space like I am. I highly recommend!" — Melissa Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). 15. A pair of rustproof shower caddy bathroom shelves if buying new body wash is your favorite form of self-care and you're quickly running out of room for your treasures. 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 $28.79 (available in four finishes). 16. A hidden coffee pod tray that mounts right under your cabinet if you're the type of minimalist who likes to keep nothing (and I mean NOTHING) on your counters. Promising review: "This space-saver K-Cup storage rack is wonderful! It is attractive and keeps my counter clutter-free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." — christine h Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 17. Some hanging vacuum bags so your coats don't take up your entire closet. Promising review:"Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes away for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like the five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with these space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan Get a pack of four from Amazon for $ 26.99 + (available in various colors and pack sizes). 18. A cutlery organizer that was smartly designed to save a buttload of space. Sick of fishing around a jam-packed drawer in the search for your favorite fork? Give it a cozy, reliable place to call home. Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say: " I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." Promising review: "Perfect for those small kitchen drawers. My drawer space is limited, and my silverware drawer is literally so small. I've tried all types of organizers, but this one takes the cake. Easy to use and easy to clean. Very stable and doesn't slide around when you open the drawer. Very lightweight and sleek appearance. Very nice grey color that matches my kitchen decor. Love this." — Amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $7.49. 19. A floating hidden bookshelf if you've run out of storage room or just want to show off your most impressive titles. If someone were to assume you read Infinite Jest in its entirety just because you have it on on them! Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support. Promising reviews:"These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" — LaBuenaVidaMere "I bought two of these in 2010, and in the last 10 years, I've used them in three different apartments. I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away by how awesome they look. Every time I put them up, it's like, 'WOW WOW WOW these are AMAAAZZINNGGG!! ' If you love decorating with books, this is a must-buy!" — Jlands Get a three-pack from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in two sizes and colors). 20. A shoe cabinet narrow enough to fit in tight mudrooms, entry halls, and foyers. At minimum, it holds six pairs of sneakers, slip-ons, or sandals — that way, they're not strewn all over the floor ripe for tripping. Promising review: "Love this little shoe storage system. Fits 6+ pairs of shoes, and with 6 inches of depth, it fits perfectly in tight spaces or behind doors. It really helped organize and clean up the front landing space of my townhouse. Came packaged fully assembled and included hardware. I ended up getting different drywall anchors from The Home Depot because I didn't like the ones that came with the cabinet, but otherwise, no issues." — Lauren "LaLa" Peacock Get it from Amazon for $179.99+. 21. A large over-the-sink rack if you could use some extra room for dish soap, sponges, and all of the cups you finally collected from various household surfaces. Amazon Promising review: "I don't have much room in my kitchen, and after seeing my friend have a similar one, I had to have it! It has saved so much counter space and can fit a lot of clean dishes!" — Victoria Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six sizes). 22. A set of drawer organizers that can take your dresser from the chaos that is a TJ Maxx sale section to the enviable order that is The Container Store. 😍 The set of four dividers can fit scarves, ties, underwear, bras, and socks, as seen above. Promising review:"No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." — M. Hanson Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors). 23. An above-the-outlet shelf where you can tuck away electric toothbrushes, razors, soap, and whatever else won't fit around your sink. To install the shelf, simply remove your outlet's face plate, place the shelf, and then screw the plate back on with the included hardware. It should only take a few minutes at most. Promising review: "This is a welcome addition for tiny bathrooms. Easy to install, a convenient and safe perch for electronics that may be charging. Love this!" — Cynthia Rrrr Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in packs of one, two, or four and four colors). 24. A three-in-one convertible chair guaranteed to unfold at the *exact* angle you prefer when watching TV. Use it as a regular chair, a chaise, or bed when you have guests. Promising review: "The thing with chair-beds is that beds need to be firm to be comfortable, but chairs need to be soft to be comfortable. This chair is firm, but not hard. It's nice and wide — reminds me of a chair-and-a-half. I like it a lot. I slept in it three nights and it was very comfortable. I have it in my guest bedroom with a twin bed so two people can use the room or just one with a chair. I kind of want another for my living room because you can also use it as a chaise lounge! Three uses is fantastic!" — Daisy Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in five colors). 25. A modern pedestal table with *just* enough room for your daily mocha latte. It really is the perfect size because once you're finished, you won't have room to let cups pile up, you'll have to take care of them right away. Amazon Promising review: "This is perfect for a small space. Took just a moment to put together. Glass top and bottom gives a 'it's there, but not there' look. I'm very happy." — Pat R. Get it from Amazon for $68.99. 26. A combined floor lamp and end table if you're 1.) Trying to save space or 2.) Just absolutely enamored (like any sensible adult) with multitasking pieces. Promising review:"I was looking for a lamp of this style and happened to come across this one. It had no reviews so I was suspicious, but for the price I took the chance. Best gamble ever! This lamp is so beautiful and the quality is amazing. The marble base is like real, sturdy marble. Gold finishing looks so expensive. Table is not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it and can't believe I was able to find this for such a deal." — Sarah Diaz Get it from Amazon for $77.59+ (available in three lampshade colors). 27. A broom/tool organizer because no matter how carefully you tuck your Swiffer/broom/stick vacuum in that gap between your fridge and wall, they never fail to fall over and scare the bejeezus out of you. The organizer has four slots and four hooks, which can be used to hold all sorts of kitchen, bathroom, garage, and garden tools. Installation takes about five minutes, and all it includes is drilling two holes for screws and then mounting the unit. Promising review: "I purchased this to organize my brooms, mops, etc. They were always sitting beside one of my tall kitchen cabinets and looked like a total mess. This allowed me to make it look more organized and it turned out perfect. Couldn't be any happier with it." — DazzBoomer Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (available in two colors). 28. A bamboo burner cover ready to transform any teensy-tiny kitchen and give you 20 to 30 more inches of counter space! That might not sound like a whole lot, but my fellow NYC dwellers know it's nothing to sneeze at. BuzzFeeder Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease: "OK so I just bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there." Promising review:"This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." — Talyn Amber Skye Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in five sizes). 29. A compact double-chaise sectional if you're working with limited space but don't want to skimp on leg room. Plus, the ottomans lift up to reveal hidden storage! Amazon Promising review: "A while ago, I purchased a 7-piece sectional modular sofa from Belffin in gray velvet. I couldn't be happier: its styling is minimalist, its look is modern and sleek, and its comfort and functionality are high quality. And you can align these any way you want. Moreover, it's smaller and more dainty, so it fits perfectly in our family room. I've just now added two ottomans to my set. So, now I have a family room that comfortably and elegantly accommodates up to 9 people. Like the other sofa sections, these square-sized Ottomans come with impressive storage spaces under the seat cushions (approximately 21.5 x 21.5 x 6.5 inches) that we use to store board games and puzzles. Very ingenious. If you prefer, they can be linked together with a nifty connector accessory that is easy to install or remove, depending on the alignment you want for your sofa or ottoman sections." — Juan Lulli Get it from Amazon for $999.99 (available in four colors). 30. A C-shaped table you can wheel around wherever is convenient so you don't have to dedicate any specific floor space to your WFH setup. Amazon I've had this table for about eight months, and I love it! I live in a really compact apartment and didn't want to take up living room floors pace with a bulky or fixed coffee table. I love this lil' guy cause I can wheel it up to the couch and use it as a desk, position it over my ottoman when I want it completely pushed out of the way, and even push it around my living room when I'm cleaning and need a temporary surface to store stuff on. Promising review: "This table is good-looking…sturdy material, good rolling castors. Simple to put together, just screw-on the castors. We roll it from chair to couch depending on our needs." — Theresa Get it from Amazon for $146.89. 31. A floating bedside drawer that gives you a spot to put a drink (cause the last time you put it on the floor, you promptly kicked it over...) and a drawer where you can store your Kindle/TV remote/other things you frequently reach for. Valiai Design / Etsy Valiai Design is a small, family–run business that specializes in Scandinavian-style furniture. Promising review: "Lovely side tables for a tight space. Very attractive and easy to install." — Priscilla Sowa Get it from Valiai Design on Etsy for $89.33+ (originally $119.10+; available in two finishes and single or double drawers). 32. An easel-style TV stand if your style is *so* minimalist that you'd actually prefer to keep your living room media-console-less. Amazon It's suitable for TVs 45–65 inches. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first how sturdy this TV stand would be. To my disbelief, it is sturdy and super functional! It frees up a lot of space in my bedroom, and I love how it can be placed in a corner for an ideal viewing experience. Instructions were easy to understand, and I got the whole thing mounted and set up in less than 20 minutes. All the components are high quality, not cheap plastic. I have no doubt this TV stand will last for years. Another great thing about this stand is that it's easy to pick up the TV and move it around. I recommend the safety mount if you have kids or pets for added peace of mind. If you want an affordable TV stand that adds a nice design element, I would recommend you purchase this." — Austin738 Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three finishes). 33. A wall-mounted pot hanger where you can suspend your entire collection in plain view. If cabinet space is scarce, this is an easy way to add extra storage. The wall-mounted unit includes a six-track wooden shelf (so you can place lids vertically) and six swiveling hooks for hanging pots and pans. Once securely attached to the wall, the organizer can hold up to 30 pounds. Promising review: "Easily my favorite kitchen item. I have a tiny kitchen that only has two cabinets for storage, so my oven was my storage for pots and pans until I bought this. Now, I don't have to pull eight items out of my oven just to preheat and bake something. Installation was easy, took about 10 minutes. It's easy to pull the hooks up and move them when you decide you want them somewhere else, and you can store lids or stock pots or other items on the shelf above the pots. Love, love, love this pot rack." — Patricia R. Get it from Amazon for $62.99. 34. A set of versatile magnetic hooks because shoving your oven mitts in your tiniest kitchen drawer has resulted in many fights to free them. Instead, just hang them up the side of your fridge! Promising review: "These hooks are amazing! I have very little kitchen space and don't want to drill a bunch of holes in a rented apartment. These hooks are great for the fridge, microwave, and stove hood. I especially like that they are deep enough that I can face my measuring cups and spoons outward so I can see the sizes at a glance. You won't be disappointed in these hooks. Highly recommend." — BAJ Get them from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in multiple pack sizes). 35. A wall-mounted table you can use as a desk, for extra counter space in your kitchen, as a place to fold laundry, or as a dinner table. And once your done, it folds down taking up next to no space so you don't have to shimmy around it all awkwardly. Amazon Promising review: "This is a great table for our laundry room! When we moved into our condo, the washer and dryer that came with it were slanted on top and couldn't be used for folding clothes. This table fit in perfectly and is well made and can hold substantial weight if needed. I could see it used as a portable desk somewhere also." — Anne C. Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in five sizes and two finishes). 36. An acrylic bookshelf that basically disappears into your space only to show off whatever you put on it. Amazon Promising review: "This slim, acrylic ladder shelf was perfect for an awkward, narrow little space next to my closet. I was looking for more shelving to display a few more items, and this was perfect. I love that it's transparent — it looks like my items are floating in the air and doesn't take away from the aesthetic of my closet. Also, it was super easy to assemble, and this is coming from someone who hates assembly of any kind and usually hires a Task Rabbit to put together furniture. I'll probably order another one soon." — WebGirl79 Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three sizes). 37. And a storage headboard with room for all of the tchotchkes that make your home *home.* No matter how small your space, you can make it work! Article Promising reviews:"This headboard is glorious!... It is easy to assemble, sturdy, and has holes in the shelving for charging cables. We are loving it!" — Christina P. "We've had this headboard for a little over a year now, and I'm still madly in love with it! Since our purchase, we've added a Doberman puppy to our family. He likes to claw at everything to get your attention, including the headboard! Luckily, it hasn't gotten a single scratch on it. The material is extremely durable." — Chelsea G. Get it from Article for $799+ (available in Queen and King sizes and in three finishes). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Some Shoe Slotz that brilliantly stack one shoe on top of the other, which gives you 100% more space than before if you stored shoes side-by-side. This product SAVED MY SHOES in my old apartment! I had an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly!

It has three adjustable tiers that swivel, so you can neatly perch all your gear — controllers, headphones, handheld consoles — like tiny trophies on display. Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed This small but mighty stand has made my life so much easier, and I'm not being dramatic. I have two little kids, including one especially grabby toddler, and we run everything through a PlayStation: TV, movies, streaming, gaming — you name it. So the controllers are in constant use and used to be constantly missing. My kids loved to grab them, press every button, or stash them in mystery locations. It was chaos. Sometimes we'd hide them ourselves to keep them out of reach, then forget where we put them. This stand solved all of it. Now the controllers have a dedicated home, the kids can't reach them, and bonus: it actually looks really good. I'm a huge fan. Get it from Yamazaki for $35 (available in white or black). 30.

This is also a great solution if you're running low on floor space. Promising review:"We've been using this awhile now. Our bathroom layout is too narrow for a traditional hamper but we wanted something near the shower. This can definitely hold a full load of laundry. The design makes it so it doesn't bulge out so much. It keeps its lay flat design. The zipper is borderline genius. We put a laundry basket underneath and unzip to transfer the laundry. Nothing ever gets stuck since the zipper is the full length of the bottom. Even with a large load of laundry the zipper is easy to slide. It has not pinched or got caught on any of our clothes.

These are adjustable to fit different sizes. I highly recommend these organizers!" — Amazon Customer Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 51. A broom and mop organizer you can put on a wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the kitchen floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (we're talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). Promising review:"Hard to get a good picture in my very small pantry area, but this hanger works great for keeping my cleaning tools at hand yet off the floor. Mounting template worked great and it came with a couple of bags of screws and anchors so I had the right ones for my wall. I would buy this again." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors). 52. A double closet rod for literally doubling your closet's hanging space. Because why is a T-shirt on a hanger taking up only 50% of the usable space? Never again! Promising review:"This product has been one of my favorite Amazon finds, I'm not sure why I didn't think of it sooner. It has doubled my closet space in my apartment where I can't make any damage in terms of adding another permanent shelf — so this has been a perfect solution. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I've had it for a couple of weeks now with no issue. Your closet has to be pretty high for this to work or else your shirts above are going to get caught on the hangers below and for my case, some of my shirts are dragging on the floor — just keep this in mind when you're thinking about purchasing." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $15.18+ (available in three metal finishes). 53. A pack of nonslip velvet hangers to give your closet a more cohesive look and free up some space. These are super slim and take up way less space than traditional plastic or wooden hangers, so you'll be able to hang more garments and make your closet look more tidy at the same time. Truly a miracle! Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed This hangers helped me free up so much space in my closet! I was using bulky wooden hangers before, and while I liked the uniform look, they took up way too much space. I love these velvet ones because they're also really aesthetically pleasing but take up 75% less space than a traditional wooden hanger, so my closet looks like it has less clothes in it but it's actually holding significantly more than before. I'm going to slowly replace all my hangers in every closet with these, they're that amazing. Promising review:"These hangers are amazing. They take up minimal space, are sturdy, and, best of all, the clothes don't fall down from them so it keeps everything looking neat. I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers, and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." — Vida Maars Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in five colors and in a 30-, 50-, or 100-pack). 54. A corner counter shelf that'll finally use all that space in the corner of your countertop. And in an aesthetically pleasing way, too! Amazon Promising review: " Super cute little corner shelf and perfect in my small space. I needed just a bit of extra space and it's just what I needed!" — CSW Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three colors). 55. A double-sided hanging gift wrap organizer, because your present wrapping situation doesn't have to look post-apocalyptic. This space-saving find keeps your wrapping paper, ribbons, gift bags, and tissue paper neatly stored and easy to grab — so you're not wrestling with crumpled rolls every time you need to wrap a birthday gift. Promising review: "I emptied two under-the-bed storage containers filled to the top into this organizer. The pockets are convenient, and they fit so much! I put 24 rolls of wrapping paper and at least 50 bags (if not more) into it, along with bows and some small boxes. So far, it is holding the weight on the back of a door. I would highly recommend this product." — Jess "I used to store all the decorations in a long plastic box which was heavy n cumbersome. Then, I'd have to go through it to find what I wanted. The hanging decoration is wonderful! A spot for everything you need and hangs on a rod in your closet. Highly recommend!" — Charles V. Lavander Get it from Amazon for $21.87. 56. A pan storage system that stacks your pans and lids in a way that makes each one accessible without moving the others. Because it totally sucks when you need that one pan, but it's all the way at the bottom of the pan pile (aka the Leaning Tower of Pans). Since they won't be touching, this will also prevent one pan from scratching the other, which is crucial if your pans have any type of coating. Promising review:"This rack is perfect. I put my largest skillet on the bottom and my smallest at the top. I did not secure the rack with the screws that came with it, so I can easily move it if I rearrange my pots and pans area. Even without securing it to the cabinet, it works perfectly and doesn't shift when I remove a pan. I also appreciate the color: Others I have seen are shiny silver, which I did not want. I will be buying another one of these for our cabin. I have already recommended this rack to friends." — CustomerO Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (available in white, silver, or bronze). 57. A sturdy Command spray bottle mount so your cleaning supplies can stop taking up valuable cabinet floor space and instead use wall space. Oh, and each mount can hold up to 2.5 pounds. And like regular Command products, they won't peel off paint once they're removed. Promising review:"Where have these been my whole life?! I initially saw these on a video about home organizing and had to have them. So happy I bought them! They save room on the shelves under my sink and prevent clutter. Now the bottles I use most are available at my fingertips." — Katie Get two from Amazon for $9.40. 58. And some mounted wine racks that are a triple threat: they allow you to show off your pretty stemware; they're easily accessible when wine o'clock hits, and you'll free up space in your cabinets. Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wine glasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fits the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" — Cycle Mom Get three rows (enough for nine glasses) from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors and two styles).

36 Smart Purchases That'll Help You Transform Your Teeny Tiny Apartment

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · These may not grow your space by actual feet, but it'll feel like it. 1. A flat outlet plug that can be placed behind furniture so you can utilize every single outlet in your home. Do you only have a single outlet in your living room and it happens to be on the only wall that fits your couch? Well, that's no longer a problem!! Promising review: "So first off, I have to say this is a genius idea! I highly recommend this product because it completely solves the issue of wasting two perfectly usable outlets behind cabinets or shelves!! Not to mention, each extension cord has an extra three plugs, so you literally get triple the number of plugs from one outlet. The only slight drawback I would say is the high price. But honestly, it's so worth it. I bought two sets for the two outlets that have been hidden away behind two bookshelves. I spent the weekend installing them, and I now have 12 additional plugs that I can use!! Huge difference!" — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in 12 different lengths/styles). 2. A circular lift-top table if your living room also happens to be your home office and dining room. Plus, the hidden storage keeps your small space nice and clutter free which happens to trick our lil' lizard brains into thinking the room is bigger than it is. Promising review: "I wanted a lift-top table that was both round (so my big dog can walk around it without getting stuck) and small enough for my space and this was really the only one I could find. I'm very happy with it. My husband and I lift it up and eat dinner while watching Netflix once or twice a week. It isn't soft close, but it also won't pinch your fingers. Just hold onto it when closing it, or it will slam down." — Bbqsauce Get it from Amazon for $91.02+ (available in five finishes). 3. Or a sofa tray if you literally don't have room for a coffee table! Amazon Promising review: "I don't have and prefer not to use a coffee or end table. This is the perfect extra touch to have something where I can put down my drink or plate of snacks." — Yael Neubauer Get it from Amazon for $27.89+ (available in five finishes). 4. Some Wonder Hangers — point blank, period. They'll ~triple~ your closet space so you can snatch every trending piece you come across on TikTok. Check out how they work on TikTok here! And PS: Wonder Hanger is a small biz! Promising review:"Been trying to organize my closet with so many different ideas. Decided to order these and they are worth every penny! Most organizers don't accommodate thick hangers and these do, so I am one happy camper!" — Met Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and packs of 10 or 24). 5. A foldable nonslip sink cover if you have zeroooo vanity space to work with. This lil' tray gives you a sturdy surface without blocking your faucet, so if you're doing makeup and need to wet your Beautyblender, you don't have to rearrange everything. PS: Sink Topper is a small biz! Promising reviews: "Worth every penny! I was about to buy a brand new vanity! This product saved me over $1,000 bucks!" — Barbara Mulvey "Came across this on IG, and immediately went looking for one. It's very well designed in terms of stability, so as long as you obviously put your heavier items along the perimeter, it's super sturdy. I'm moving, and there is no sink space at the new place, so this is simply a godsend (especially with the hot flat iron issue and not wanting to burn the sink). The faucet gap is perfect, so if anyone needs to use the sink while you're getting ready, you don't have to move everything. It's just a really solid product, and I'm glad I came across it." — J Kit Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 6. A set of adjustable mug organizers so you can confidently open your cupboard knowing an avalanche of mugs isn't about to fall on you. Elypro — the creator of this nifty gadget — is a small biz! Promising review: "I came across these in an Amazon review on TikTok and I just had to have them for my mugs. I have a lot of mugs, but no space. I didn't want a hanging mechanism for the mugs I just needed a way to stack them. This is such a great product to help stack mugs. They're easily adjustable for any size mug. They don't topple over, they're very sturdy. One of the best space savers I have in the kitchen!" — Magdalynn Tibbetts Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 7. A magnetic stove shelf on which you can stack your go-to spices, oils, and kitschy salt and pepper shakers. It's also a convenient place to dry out a turkey wishbone if your family is into that tradition. Amazon StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves. Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action. Promising review:"I had no problems with installation. It's secure and doesn't move, and I was genuinely surprised at how much counter space I freed up. Now, it makes more intuitive sense to reach in front of me for my frequently grabbed cooking items on the StoveShelf (EVOO, S&P, etc.) instead of reaching off to the side to wherever I set it down last." — Online Shopper Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three sizes and in three finishes). 8. A self-expanding shower curtain that gives you way more room, prevents dreaded curtain cling, and doesn't require a curved rod! It's so easy to set up, you don't even need rings. Amazon Space is a small business that's passionate about eliminating curtain cling and giving people more shower space! Their design is also machine-washable, so you don't have to replace it like a run-of-the-mill liner. Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building, so I have an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. Every time I'd shower, I'd be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move, either. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. 100% would purchase again." — Brittany Hopkins Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in six colors). 9. A set of two cabinet shelf organizers so you can elevate your mug collection and make room for more because look, you *will* be buying at least one next time you go to Target. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE my new organizational wooden stands. They arrived today, and as soon as I easily put them together, I was surprised at how great they looked. The texture is better than expected, very sturdy, looks great on my kitchen counter, and turned my messy counter into a nice display of items I use daily. I'm so in love with these I'm going to buy more for other areas if the house and my adult kids think they're great, so thinking about getting them as stocking stuffers!!!!" — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six finishes and two sizes). 10. A hanging laundry hamper because let's be real, when you hop in the shower, you throw your clothes in a pile on the bathroom floor and they stay there until you know you have company coming over lol. Promising review:"Very convenient. I'd been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn't just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn't a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall, narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door, and one hanging from a towel rack and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin, and I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket, and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them." — D. Jelte Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two). 11. A baseball hat organizer that'll keep your caps in one central location without taking up much space at all. Even better, the DomeDock will keep them in tip-top shape as you won't accidentally step on them or throw your platform boots on top of them the next time you quickly toss stuff in your closet. Amazon PS: DomeDock is a small biz! Promising review: "This is the perfect solution to keep your hats organized. Each organizer holds about a dozen hats. The hats stay put and don't fall over. As long as you tuck them properly, then they stay put and won't get messed up. Definitely worth buying." — FarraB Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in white or black and individually or as a two-pack). 12. A macramé fruit hammock so your bananas, apples, and oranges can enjoy their last days on Earth in comfort. Little do they know they're about to be devoured. 😈 Knapps Knots / Etsy KnappsKnots is a San Diego–based small business from Anastasia Knapp. Promising reviews:"Absolutely loved it! Perfect if you have little counter space." — Jessi "Love it. Might get another for bread and buns. The clearance between our counter and upper cabinets is weirdly short — can't fit most countertop items — so this was the perfect solution" — pogtotes Get it from KnappsKnots on Etsy for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors). 13. An expandable, two-tier organizer because every time you put a cleaning product back in the cabinet under your kitchen sink, you have approx. one millisecond to slam the door shut before everything tumbles out. With this, you can open the door any dang time you want just to admire how well organized you are. The shelving unit is suitable for most cabinets as you can adjust the height to four different levels (2, 5, 9, and 13 inches tall) and expand the rail anywhere between 15–25 inches. Since the dimensions aren't one-size-fits-all, it also comes with three large panels and four small panels, so you can adjust the shelves. Promising review: "I held back on buying an under-sink shelf because of the price, but this is so worth it because of how adjustable it is! This thing has made that mini-cave of an under-sink area way more organized, with stuff easier to get to or move out of the way. The two widths of shelf pieces are a smart touch; they accommodate a wide variety of drains under kitchen sinks. I didn't use all the shelf pieces because of the extra-wide and deep drain in my apartment. I think the only thing that would make this perfect for me is a cosmetic thing — a chrome version or a matte black. But since it's under the sink, the color is fine and close enough." — Kevin M. Get it from Amazon for $23.87 (available in three finishes). 14. A combination velvet storage ottoman/table ideal for those with little to no space. Use it as a seat if you have extra guests or if it's just you, flip over the lid and you'll find a wooden tray perfect for balancing your dinner. Amazon My colleague Emma Lord has one and here's what she has to say: " I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)." Promising review: "I love this versatile stool! It's stylish, well-made, and extremely easy to assemble. When used for seating, it's comfortable and sturdy; when used as an end table it adds such a fun design element for any space. The storage is also a bonus if you are living in small space like I am. I highly recommend!" — Melissa Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 15. A pair of rustproof shower caddy bathroom shelves if buying new body wash is your favorite form of self-care and you're quickly running out of room for your treasures. 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 $27.99 (available in four finishes). 16. A hidden coffee pod tray that mounts right under your cabinet if you're the type of minimalist who likes to keep nothing (and I mean NOTHING) on your counters. Promising review: "This space-saver K-Cup storage rack is wonderful! It is attractive and keeps my counter clutter-free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." — christine h Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 17. Some hanging vacuum bags so your winter coats don't take up your entire closet. Promising review:"Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes away for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like the five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with these space bags. I will definitely order more!" — Jia Yan Get a pack of four from Amazon for $ 27.99 + (available in various colors and pack sizes). 18. A cutlery organizer that was smartly designed to save a buttload of space. Sick of fishing around a jam-packed drawer in the search for your favorite fork? Give it a cozy, reliable place to call home. Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say: " I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." Promising review: "Perfect for those small kitchen drawers. My drawer space is limited, and my silverware drawer is literally so small. I've tried all types of organizers, but this one takes the cake. Easy to use and easy to clean. Very stable and doesn't slide around when you open the drawer. Very lightweight and sleek appearance. Very nice grey color that matches my kitchen decor. Love this." — Amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $9.59. 19. A shoe cabinet narrow enough to fit in tight mudrooms, entry halls, and foyers. At minimum, it holds six pairs of sneakers, slip-ons, or sandals — that way, they're not strewn all over the floor ripe for tripping. Promising review: "Love this little shoe storage system. Fits 6+ pairs of shoes, and with 6 inches of depth, it fits perfectly in tight spaces or behind doors. It really helped organize and clean up the front landing space of my townhouse. Came packaged fully assembled and included hardware. I ended up getting different drywall anchors from The Home Depot because I didn't like the ones that came with the cabinet, but otherwise, no issues." — Lauren "LaLa" Peacock Get it from Amazon for $139.95+ (available in two sizes). 20. A large over-the-sink rack if you could use some extra room for dish soap, sponges, and all of the cups you finally collected from various household surfaces. Amazon Promising review: "I don't have much room in my kitchen, and after seeing my friend have a similar one, I had to have it! It has saved so much counter space and can fit a lot of clean dishes!" — Victoria Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in four sizes). 21. A set of drawer organizers that can take your dresser from the chaos that is a TJ Maxx sale section to the enviable order that is The Container Store. 😍 The set of four dividers can fit scarves, ties, underwear, bras, and socks, as seen above. Promising review:"No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." — M. Hanson Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors). 22. An above-the-outlet shelf where you can tuck away electric toothbrushes, razors, soap, and whatever else won't fit around your sink. To install the shelf, simply remove your outlet's face plate, place the shelf, and then screw the plate back on with the included hardware. It should only take a few minutes at most. Promising review: "This is a welcome addition for tiny bathrooms. Easy to install, a convenient and safe perch for electronics that may be charging. Love this!" — Cynthia Rrrr Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in packs of one, two, or four and four colors). 23. A three-in-one convertible chair guaranteed to unfold at the *exact* angle you prefer when watching TV. Use it as a regular chair, a chaise, or bed when you have guests. Promising review: "The thing with chair-beds is that beds need to be firm to be comfortable, but chairs need to be soft to be comfortable. This chair is firm, but not hard. It's nice and wide — reminds me of a chair-and-a-half. I like it a lot. I slept in it three nights and it was very comfortable. I have it in my guest bedroom with a twin bed so two people can use the room or just one with a chair. I kind of want another for my living room because you can also use it as a chaise lounge! Three uses is fantastic!" — Daisy Get it from Amazon for $269.99+ (available in 13 colors). 24. A modern pedestal table with *just* enough room for your daily mocha latte. It really is the perfect size because once you're finished, you won't have room to let cups pile up, you'll have to take care of them right away. Amazon Promising review: "This is perfect for a small space. Took just a moment to put together. Glass top and bottom gives a 'it's there, but not there' look. I'm very happy." — Pat R. Get it from Amazon for $56.99 (available in 11 finishes). 25. A height-adjustable solid oak table you can use as a coffee table *and* a dinner table. All it takes is a quick flick of the legs to transform it!! Steelwood / Etsy Steelwood is a Ukrainian family-run small biz that's been operating since 1950. The shop dries and prepares all of its own hardwood and they're devoted to sustainability, too. Every week, they plant a tree! Promising review: "Absolutely love my new table. It will spend most time as a coffee table but is perfect for when I need a dining table as I don't have room for both. I would highly recommend. Thank you, Denis for keeping me informed about the delivery and for making such an awesome table." — Etsy Reviewer Get it from Steelwood for $410+ (originally $500+; available in six diameters and five finishes). 26. A combined floor lamp and end table if you're 1.) Trying to save space or 2.) Just absolutely enamored (like any sensible adult) with multitasking pieces. Promising review:"I was looking for a lamp of this style and happened to come across this one. It had no reviews so I was suspicious, but for the price I took the chance. Best gamble ever! This lamp is so beautiful and the quality is amazing. The marble base is like real, sturdy marble. Gold finishing looks so expensive. Table is not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it and can't believe I was able to find this for such a deal." — Sarah Diaz Get it from Amazon for $78.09+ (available in three lampshade colors). 27. A broom/tool organizer because no matter how carefully you tuck your Swiffer/broom/stick vacuum in that gap between your fridge and wall, they never fail to fall over and scare the bejeezus out of you. The organizer has four slots and four hooks, which can be used to hold all sorts of kitchen, bathroom, garage, and garden tools. Installation takes about five minutes, and all it includes is drilling two holes for screws and then mounting the unit. Promising review: "I purchased this to organize my brooms, mops, etc. They were always sitting beside one of my tall kitchen cabinets and looked like a total mess. This allowed me to make it look more organized and it turned out perfect. Couldn't be any happier with it." — DazzBoomer Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two colors). 28. A bamboo burner cover ready to transform any teensy-tiny kitchen and give you 20 to 30 more inches of counter space! That might not sound like a whole lot, but my fellow NYC dwellers know it's nothing to sneeze at. BuzzFeeder Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease: "OK so I just bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there." Promising review:"This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." — Talyn Amber Skye Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in seven sizes). 29. A compact double-chaise sectional if you're working with limited space but don't want to skimp on leg room. Plus, the ottomans lift up to reveal hidden storage! Amazon Promising review: "A while ago, I purchased a 7-piece sectional modular sofa from Belffin in gray velvet. I couldn't be happier: its styling is minimalist, its look is modern and sleek, and its comfort and functionality are high quality. And you can align these any way you want. Moreover, it's smaller and more dainty, so it fits perfectly in our family room. I've just now added two ottomans to my set. So, now I have a family room that comfortably and elegantly accommodates up to 9 people. Like the other sofa sections, these square-sized Ottomans come with impressive storage spaces under the seat cushions (approximately 21.5 x 21.5 x 6.5 inches) that we use to store board games and puzzles. Very ingenious. If you prefer, they can be linked together with a nifty connector accessory that is easy to install or remove, depending on the alignment you want for your sofa or ottoman sections." — Juan Lulli Get it from Amazon for $999.99 (available in four colors). 30. A C-shaped table you can wheel around wherever is convenient so you don't have to dedicate any specific floor space to your WFH setup. Amazon I've had this table for about eight months, and I love it! I live in a really compact apartment and didn't want to take up living room floors pace with a bulky or fixed coffee table. I love this lil' guy cause I can wheel it up to the couch and use it as a desk, position it over my ottoman when I want it completely pushed out of the way, and even push it around my living room when I'm cleaning and need a temporary surface to store stuff on. Promising review: "This table is good-looking…sturdy material, good rolling castors. Simple to put together, just screw-on the castors. We roll it from chair to couch depending on our needs." — Theresa Get it from Amazon for $143.89. 31. A floating bedside drawer that gives you a spot to put a drink (cause the last time you put it on the floor, you promptly kicked it over...) and a drawer where you can store your Kindle/TV remote/other things you frequently reach for. Valiai Design / Etsy Valiai Design is a small, family–run business that specializes in Scandinavian-style furniture. Get it from Valiai Design on Etsy for $80.74+ (originally $107.66+; available in two finishes and single or double drawers). 32. An easel-style TV stand if your style is *so* minimalist that you'd actually prefer to keep your living room media-console-less. Amazon It's suitable for TVs 45–65 inches. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first how sturdy this TV stand would be. To my disbelief, it is sturdy and super functional! It frees up a lot of space in my bedroom, and I love how it can be placed in a corner for an ideal viewing experience. Instructions were easy to understand, and I got the whole thing mounted and set up in less than 20 minutes. All the components are high quality, not cheap plastic. I have no doubt this TV stand will last for years. Another great thing about this stand is that it's easy to pick up the TV and move it around. I recommend the safety mount if you have kids or pets for added peace of mind. If you want an affordable TV stand that adds a nice design element, I would recommend you purchase this." — Austin738 Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three finishes). 33. A wall-mounted pot hanger where you can suspend your entire collection in plain view. If cabinet space is scarce, this is an easy way to add extra storage. The wall-mounted unit includes a six-track wooden shelf (so you can place lids vertically) and six swiveling hooks for hanging pots and pans. Once securely attached to the wall, the organizer can hold up to 30 pounds. Promising review: "Easily my favorite kitchen item. I have a tiny kitchen that only has two cabinets for storage, so my oven was my storage for pots and pans until I bought this. Now, I don't have to pull eight items out of my oven just to preheat and bake something. Installation was easy, took about 10 minutes. It's easy to pull the hooks up and move them when you decide you want them somewhere else, and you can store lids or stock pots or other items on the shelf above the pots. Love, love, love this pot rack." — Patricia R. Get it from Amazon for $71.34. 34. A set of versatile magnetic hooks because shoving your oven mitts in your tiniest kitchen drawer has resulted in many fights to free them. Instead, just hang them up the side of your fridge! Promising review: "These hooks are amazing! I have very little kitchen space and don't want to drill a bunch of holes in a rented apartment. These hooks are great for the fridge, microwave, and stove hood. I especially like that they are deep enough that I can face my measuring cups and spoons outward so I can see the sizes at a glance. You won't be disappointed in these hooks. Highly recommend." — BAJ Get them from Amazon for $4.39+ (available in multiple pack sizes). 35. A wall-mounted table you can use as a desk, for extra counter space in your kitchen, as a place to fold laundry, or as a dinner table. And once your done, it folds down taking up next to no space so you don't have to shimmy around it all awkwardly. Amazon Promising review: "This is a great table for our laundry room! When we moved into our condo, the washer and dryer that came with it were slanted on top and couldn't be used for folding clothes. This table fit in perfectly and is well made and can hold substantial weight if needed. I could see it used as a portable desk somewhere also." — Anne C. Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in four sizes and two finishes). 36. An acrylic bookshelf that basically disappears into your space only to show off whatever you put on it. Amazon Promising review: "This slim, acrylic ladder shelf was perfect for an awkward, narrow little space next to my closet. I was looking for more shelving to display a few more items, and this was perfect. I love that it's transparent — it looks like my items are floating in the air and doesn't take away from the aesthetic of my closet. Also, it was super easy to assemble, and this is coming from someone who hates assembly of any kind and usually hires a Task Rabbit to put together furniture. I'll probably order another one soon." — WebGirl79 Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three sizes). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.
