This set also comes with a bamboo tray for the dispensers and 20 waterproof labels to choose from.
Promising review: "I love these dispensers. Not only are they the exact aesthetic I was looking for, but they function really well! The pours are consistent and the seals are great. The labels are easy to apply and are holding up really well." —TStan7291
Get a set of two from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three colors).
2. Stick-on lights when you need to illuminate those perpetually dark and shadowy areas in your kitchen. Plus, this will ~shine a light~ on your impeccable decor skills.
It comes with a remote that can adjust the brightness!
Promising review "Honestly, this is such an easy-to-install product. I bought this because my house needed extra light. This brightens the room at night and makes your cabinets stand out! Took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to install but very straightforward and easy to use. Great product and great price!" —Tom16
Get the six-piece kit from Amazon for $20.99 (available in three light colors).
3. A clever cutting board with a pour spout for, quite possibly, the easiest meal prep (and cleanup) experience ever. This double-sided board has a spout on one side for easy disposal of juices and a phone slot on the other side so you glance at recipes while cooking.
Promising reviews: "This cutting board looks so nice I keep it on my counter all the time. Handy and sturdy. I like that one side has a grooved border that catches any juices from meat or poultry that's resting before carving. I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Joseph G.
"I already own these amazing cutting boards and just bought one for each of my daughters. The slot for your phone is genius, they are very generously sized, and easy to clean and maintain." —Kathy H.
Get it from Food52 for $19.99+ (originally $30+; available in three sizes).
4. Cabinet pulls that'll elevate your kitchen style with hardly any effort. Old, dingy handles not cutting it anymore? These will deliver an instant (and affordable) upgrade.
Heads up that some reviewers recommend purchasing your own screws instead of using the included ones.
Promising review: "Wow!! That's my first thought on opening these. I'm in the process of updating my master bathroom and saw these online. Of course, the bargain shopper I am, I checked my local stores. They had packs of 10 for $54...very lightweight. So I was scared of what I was getting here. These are almost 5 ounces each!! Very heavy quality, all individually wrapped with the screws for each. Definitely best quality and best price!!" —Margaret
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in seven finishes and sets of five, 25, or sold individually).
5. A set of glass storage canisters because opening your pantry shouldn't give you nightmares. These will help you get organized, save space, *and* make your storage look way more appealing. That's what I like to call a 3-for-1 upgrade!
This set includes 11.8", 8", 6.6", 5", and 4" canisters.
Promising reviews: "Very simple and elegant canisters. Adhesive works great and locks the jars very well. Adds a great touch to the kitchen and exactly as pictured." —Anela
"These canisters are beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. The seal on the lids works great and the glass isn't too thin which is what I worried about when researching containers. I love the variety of container sizes in this set. We will definitely be purchasing these again. They are an organizer's dream!" —Kathy C
Get a set of five from Amazon for $29.99.
6. And some spice and pantry labels to slap on your food storage containers so they're more organized (and prettier, of course). It'll also be easier to keep track of what needs to be added to the grocery list.
Upon placing your order, you can indicate whether you want a standard set of labels, which includes a specific list of spices (available in variations of 20, 40, or 80). You can also choose a custom set and indicate which spice labels you want to receive (available in multiple variations ranging from five to 50). Be sure to check out the pantry labels the shop offers as well!
Daisy Paper House is a Cali-based Etsy shop that designs a variety of simplistic labels for the home.

Get five custom labels from Daisy Paper House on Etsy for $10+ (available in seven label sizes, standard or custom sets, and other design options here).
7. A space-saving sliding tray so your bulky coffee maker can be tucked away when it's not in use. This is *much* better than shuffling a heavy appliance around — or worse, having it indefinitely occupy way too much counter space.
Promising review: "Such a simple idea but oh how helpful this is. My husband pulls the coffeemaker out from under the cabinet when it’s brewing and forgets to put it back when it’s done so I do it. The bottom of the coffee maker has a gripper on it so it sticks as I’m trying to push it back and sometimes coffee sloshes out the top...Such a simple idea yet this rolling thing is fantastic and with one finger I can roll it back under and there’s no sloshing. Even my husband, a born skeptic who thinks these kinds of things are just junk is showing people 'hey look at this.' LOL. This is a keeper." —Kirsten
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
8. A kitchen island cart when you're desperate for more surface area and storage space but also want it to match your existing decor. It has locking wheels, three shelves, drawer space, cabinet storage, and a removable towel rack!
Promising review: "Originally planned to use this for a coffee bar, but decided to switch it up. My husband's hot dog roller and my hot air fryer fit beautifully on the top. Added my race cooker to one of the bottom shelves. Abracadabra! Cleared counter space! This is sturdy and nice looking in our kitchen." —Linda
Get it from Wayfair for $183.99 (available in white and black).
9. A mounted stemware holder if you have an impressive drinkware collection and nowhere to put it. Store your precious glasses by mounting this holder under a cabinet or floating shelf.
This rack holds 9–12 glasses depending on their size! If you're looking for some recommendations for wineglasses, we've got you covered.
Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wineglasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fit the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom
Get it from Amazon for $19.93 (available in rows of three or four, multi-packs, and in four finishes).
10. An adjustable kitchen drawer organizer for tackling those catch-all drawers that bring nothing but chaos to your life. Everything will look neater and you won't have to go on a scavenger hunt whenever you need a utensil.
KitchenEdge is a family-owned small biz in Indianapolis that makes a variety of kitchen organization products.
Promising review: "This product was exactly what I needed to upgrade my drawer organizer from the old plastic ones. I love it and it worked as I had hoped!" —Mary D.
Get it from Amazon for $54.95+ (available in two sizes).
11. Faux-marble adhesive so you can achieve the kitchen countertops of your dreams without going broke in the process. It's also perfectly fine to change your mind later because it peels off without leaving any damage behind!
It took most reviewers less than an hour to completely revamp their space, and it was two hours *tops* for others (depending on how much space you're redoing!).
Promising review: "I do not have the money for a new vanity right now. Insert DIY project of covering my ugly pink bathroom vanity in marble contact paper. It looks 100% better and it’s super durable. It’s a little tricky to work with at first and then you get the hang of it. I’m buying more for my half bath! Update: My vanity still looks great a couple of months later! I decided to do my tabletop in my laundry room [above, right] and it looks great too! Tips: Make sure there is nothing on the surface as bumps will show through with the tiniest of debris. Also, one roll is not enough; always buy more than you think you’ll need!" —Natalie Evans
Get a roll from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five roll sizes).
12. A tiered bamboo spice rack because, let's be honest, who doesn't *love* a storage solution that's both efficient and attractive? You'll have no shame about this cutie sitting front and center on your counter.
Spice Luxe is a small biz in San Diego that makes organization sets for spices.
Promising review: "I am enormously pleased with this product! It is exactly what I was hoping for. This spice rack is simple (but attractive!), well made, and reasonably easy to assemble. The instructions for assembly were clear. I am very happy." —Flib19
Get it from Spice Luxe on Etsy for $43.99+ (available in two sizes). You can also buy a set of jars *with* pre-printed labels (available in 4 oz. and 6 oz. varieties).
13. Or a brilliantly sneaky hidden spice shelf attachment when you're fresh outta counter space but still need a way to store some spices, dammit. Install it under a kitchen shelf and pull it out whenever you're cooking.
Psst — some reviewers also use this for easy access to pill bottles!
Promising review: "I am very happy with this purchase. It couldn't have been any easier to install. I am looking forward to being able to gain more space inside my cabinets once I fully get my spices transferred into these (I bought two)." —SA Thompson
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
14. A cute lil' three-tiered shelf if you can't stand to let any awkward corners on your kitchen counter go to waste. It's great for storing oils, spices, and any other items you use daily.
You can adjust the three tiers to fit your counter's specific height.
Promising review: "I love this stand! It’s so perfect for my coffee corner. I am able to get everything organized and utilize the space on my counter. The shelves are really sturdy and not wobbly at all. They easily support everything I want to put on each shelf." —McKenna's Mommy
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in SIX colors and without side hooks).
15. A peel-and-stick faux-gel tile backsplash for a budget-friendly upgrade that'll look like you spent a fortune. It'll stand the test of time, too — this backsplash is mold-, heat-, and moisture-resistant.
Promising review: "We did a kitchen facelift this summer, repainting and making everything look fresh. We were looking at The Home Depot version of these, which are more than double the price. We decided to go for these instead and they are amazing!! I put them up myself in about two hours. I did buy the adhesive spray just in case but it wasn’t needed, even for the few I had to peel off and re-stick to center correctly. These aren’t too difficult to apply but definitely require patience. It is 100% worth the buy for a DIY affordable update!" —Hope Poirot
Get a 10-pack of 12"x12" panels from Amazon for $29.60 (available in two styles).
16. Or some peel-and-stick wallpaper with a Mediterranean feel so you can revamp your kitchen in a snap. Use it as backsplash OR jazz up your cabinet interior with a fun design!
Promising review: "The paper of my dreams! Thick, easy to install, VERY forgiving pattern, and I was able to pull off and reposition several times with no loss of stickiness. Can’t say enough good things! Not even a bad smell like I was expecting after reading other reviews. One roll covered my entire set of stair risers with exactly the right amount and a very tiny strip leftover. Posting a before and after so you can be amazed at the transformation like I was. The results are just what I was hoping for and more." —BwHow
Get a roll (measures 198" x 20.5") from Amazon for $33.99 (available in three colors).
17. An odor-neutralizing trashcan your future self will def thank you for. It'll look chic in your kitchen *and* eliminate nasty smells without you ever having to touch the lid again.
You can get a three-pack of odor filters for $29.99. Each filter lasts about three months.
Promising review: "Easy-to-use foot pedal. Doesn't hit the wall and can be pushed all the way against the wall. Trash bag when put on can be tucked in between pull out and outer can so you don't see it when it's closed. Great size and I love the slow close lid. Seems very well made and looks great. Highly recommend." —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $93.49+ (available in various sizes, styles, and finishes).
18. A geometric wire basket that'll serve as an eye-catching centerpiece for any sad, empty table in your home. Use it to store your fruit in the kitchen or fill it with other decorative items and display it in your entryway!
Promising review: "Very modern and stylish. This is perfect as a fruit bowl or a centerpiece to put decorative balls inside. It is quite large but it still looks nice with just a few pieces of fruit inside. I love how the design makes the color of the fruit pop. I've had nectarines, mandarins, and apples in there at various times and they all looked so much more appetizing compared to when they were in their original plastic bags. I'm surprised that this is one of the cheaper bowls on Amazon. Definitely bang for your buck." —Skytheas
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four styles).
19. An aesthetically-pleasing Beast blender to make your kitchen look *very* fancy and improve your morning smoothie-making routine by a LOT. It's compact so it won't take up a ton of space, either.
PS: The blending bowl also doubles as a portable thermos and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says: "I got this blender last summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an 'I don't need a blender' person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically-pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!), and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes."
Promising review: "I really love this blender. It's so aesthetically pleasing and works very well. I've had a Vitamix and a Ninja and this is so much better. Makes just enough and is so easy to clean that I actually end up using it daily. The larger blenders are just more work than they are worth in my opinion." —Taylor K.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $148 (originally $165; available in three colors).
20. Cabinet paint for a kitchen refresh so amazing, everyone will think you paid a pretty penny for it. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
The kit comes with two cans of cabinet paint, a roller arm, two roller covers, and an angled paint brush; it requires no stripping, priming, or top coat or sealer, and there's no need to remove your cabinet doors.
Promising review: "My kitchen is medium-sized, not too big, and it only took one can. But I still went over a couple more times just to get a nice coating. I also let it sit for some days and saw the wood was sucking up the paint in some areas so I went over it again. The project ideally does take one day like the promotion video says, but one day as in 24 hours. This took my kitchen from looking like a cheap rental apartment kitchen to a high-quality kitchen with just this paint and new knobs. The paint is perfect for cabinets — it's not too thick, so you still see the wood grains. It comes with EVERYTHING you need. I didn't have to buy a thing. The project is super easy, paint dries fast, and I did it at first by removing the cabinets but it wasn't necessary at all. Just make sure you don't leave any dripping because it would make your cabinets look cheap. I would recommend EVERYONE to purchase this and give your cabinets a chance before making a big investment in new cabinets. Wood is wood and it can be refinished." —Brandon Moronta
Get it from Amazon for $79.95 (also available in more colors here).
21. A game-changing magnetic stove shelf so your cooking staples are always nearby. You'll also clear some space in your cabinets and drawers, which never hurts.
This shelf is completely magnetic, so this is a great renter-friendly option to avoid using nails and drilling!
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).
22. Or a magnetic strip if you spend too much time side-eyeing your bulky knife block because of how much room it takes up. Swap it out for this, which will look magical against your backsplash.
This is much better than storing knives in a drawer where they can scrape up against each other and dull the blades. This magnetic bar comes with mounting hardware and instructions to hang it up, and it is also compatible with Velcro or any kind of mounting tape.
Promising review: "I want to order another one!!! I wish I had thought to purchase one of these sooner. The magnet is strong and holds plenty of my everyday knives. I decided to put it on the side of my fridge and it holds perfectly when you remove the back and stick directly on. I didn't need anything extra to hold it in place either. Now I have more counter space." —RayJoni07
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six sizes).
23. A wall-mount pot and pan rack that'll add a bit of character to your space — and extra storage, of course! It has two large grid shelves and comes with 10 movable hooks for hanging pots and pans.
Promising review: "I have a very small studio kitchen, so I needed something to store my pots and pans on. This is very sturdy and looks nice. It will hold quite a bit without looking cluttered. It comes with plenty of hooks." —Tabitha House
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in black and silver).
24. An anti-fatigue floor mat for anyone who spends a LOT of time on their feet in the kitchen. Whether you're cooking a delicious dinner or meal prepping for the week, these mats will treat your feet right!
Promising review: "My kitchen floor is tile and after a half day of making bread, cookies, or brownies, or even prepping to can jams, my feet, and toes would cramp at night. I needed relief! The Sky Mats kitchen mat is perfect. It's a perfect size for my kitchen workspace and amazingly comfortable to stand on while I chop, knead, stir, and mix. I spilled strawberry jam on it and thought I'd created a permanent sticky spot, but it cleaned up without a trace. I can sweep it clean after a day in the kitchen. Best of all, I don't have cramps in my toes and legs at night. Love my mat!" —Judith
Get it from Amazon for $38.90+ (available in four sizes and 15 colors).
25. A sleek knife and utensil holder so you don't have to clutter your surfaces with a bunch of different containers. It'll look perfect in that one empty corner on the counter (you know the one) while holding all the essentials.
26. An adhesive wall-mounted paper towel holder *with* a shelf, which checks off several important boxes: looks modern ✅, adds storage ✅, easy to install ✅. Don't mind if I do!
Promising review: "I used this shelf for coffee filters and kitchen gadgets. It's a great size and easy to install. I recommend putting the roll of paper towels on before installing to see how much space that takes up and to see how easy it is to replace rolls of towels, this may change your mind about the location of the shelf." —Juliette
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two finishes).
27. A slide-out organizer that'll store your bakeware and cutting boards without them becoming a jumbled mess. You'll soon wonder how you ever lived without it.
Promising review: "I LOVE this organizer! I had been keeping my baking sheets/pans stacked in the oven and on a shelf — so I had to move lots of sheets/pans when I only needed one. Why was I doing this to myself? This organizer keeps the sheets vertical which makes it easy to remove the *one* I need to use. Assembly was quick (less than five minutes); installation was also very quick — clearing out space in the cabinet to install the organizer took more time. The sliding mechanism works like a charm." —MD
Get it from Amazon for $59.
28. A baker's rack to solve your ongoing lack of storage problem while also serving as a rustic home decor piece. It comes with a large countertop, three open shelves, four hanging hooks for mugs or utensils, and eight S-hooks.
Many reviewers were able to fit their microwave on the large countertop! Be sure to check the dimensions of your appliance first to make sure it'll fit.
Promising review: "Really like this small baker's rack. It fit at the end of my cabinet perfectly and holds my microwave and my Ninja cooker perfectly. Color was great with my cabinets. Seems very sturdy once all put together. Feet adjust for floor variation for more stability. Love it!" —Gwendolyn
Get it from Wayfair for $99.99+ (originally $129.99; available in three colors).
29. A stainless-steel fridge kit so you can revive old appliances without having to buy pricey new ones. It requires a bit of time and patience, but the jaw-dropping results will be 100% worth it!
30. Silicone stove-counter gap covers because is there anything worse than a kitchen mess that's impossible to clean up? Cover up those pesky gaps for good and you'll never lose anything to the crevice of doom again.
Promising review: "My daughter recently shared a TikTok video of this item, and it's a treasure! We highly recommend this, as it eliminates the difficult task of cleaning between the stove and counter/cabinet." —allycat
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in four sizes and three colors).
31. Some stainless-steel mixing bowls that somehow make cooking and baking much more fun. They're stackable with nonslip bottoms so they won't get away from you when you're angrily mixing your cake batter!
This set of five nesting bowls also comes with airtight lids for safe food storage.
Promising review: "This is a really well-designed set. It has a smart range of sizes and the largest size, which feels huge, still fits neatly in my cabinet. They have measurements etched onto the interior, and the silicone bottoms prevent the bowls from sliding around on the counter without adding any excess weight. The rims are rolled so pouring is easy and mess-free, but they still stick out just enough to get a comfortable grip." —Molly Lynch
Get a set of five from Amazon for $37.99.
32. A transformative countertop paint kit when you're tired of your boring surfaces but the price of *actual* new countertops is too painful to bear (iykyk). This will give your kitchen a fabulous makeover for a fraction of the cost!
There are three easy steps to using this kit. Start by applying the included primer, then use the sponge to dab on the three mineral colors. Finally, seal it all in with the topcoat!
Promising review: "Easy to put on. You just have to let the base coat dry and then start sponging the colors on. I am not crafty at all and I still can't believe what my countertop looks like. I am glad I gave it a try. So far it seems very durable. I do not cut on my counters or place hot pots or pans on there I always use pot holders. I LOVE MY NEW COUNTERS. It was much cheaper and easier than replacing them." —Sharon
Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (also available in five colors).
33. A macrame fruit hammock because who said there isn't an adorable way to store your oranges and bananas? Let 'em ~hang out~ in this hammock until you're ready for a juicy snack.
Knapp's Knots is a San Diego-based small business owned by Anastasia Knapp who is quite possibly making the cutest macrame and wood crafts you've ever seen.
Promising review: "I love this! We have a smaller kitchen and there isn't really room for a fruit basket. This hammock keeps our fruit safe and sound while keeping our counter space clear. We've been using it for over a month without issue. Furthermore, it looks great!." —Margaret Mauk
Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).
34. A handy light conversion kit to help you bid farewell to the awful recessed lighting in your kitchen so you can say hello to some luxurious pendant lights instead!
It has about a six-step installation process and includes all the parts you'll need. The brace adjusts to any size between four and six inches and fits the standard base sockets. It can be used on sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees, works in damp locations, has a 50-pound maximum load rating, and is paintable with no visible screws or hardware.
Promising review: "This kit allows you to add almost any fixture to replace a can light. I added a pendant and a flush mount light in my kitchen to replace two can lights. It updated my kitchen and improved the lighting. I highly recommend this kit!" —Jeremy Adema
Get it from Amazon for $19.45.
35. A sink caddy so your dish-washing necessities can live in a super sleek container that you'll smile at whenever you see it. There's even a drip tray that catches water and a pour spout for easy draining!
Promising review: "I love all Oxo products and am also happy with this purchase. I place my dish sponges in this and there is enough room for a brush as well. I like also the vent insert which keeps the sponges separate. The compartment at the bottom is a great idea in the design to allow for emptying water rather than letting it pool at the bottom. It is a separate compartment, which is of clear plastic and allows you to visibly see if it needs emptying. Great product. Very satisfied." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in stainless steel and white).
