    37 Things That’ll Almost Immediately Improve Your Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, Yard, And Everywhere Else In Your Home

    Under-cabinet stick-on lights, cute magnetic garage handles, pretty glass soap dispensers and other small touches that'll make a big difference in your home.

    1. Some adhesive, dimmable under-cabinet lights that'll instantly make your kitchen look more expensive than it actually is. These easy-to-apply lights are also great for closets, stairwells, and mirrors!

    Promising review: "I had my doubts but I thought, what the heck, for the price I'd give them a try. I am in real estate and known as a lighting snob. The first thing I look at in a kitchen if there is under cabinet lighting. These are so nice (it helps if you have a lip at the bottom of your cabinets) They are a true white, very bright, and I was lucky they were just the length I needed. I just ordered a set and had them shipped to my mom's as her halogen transformer which is buried in a wall, fried and I drives me nuts that the workspace on the counter is dark. I can't wait until I make the 250-mile drive to install them. I may buy more just to use at our listings!" —pauly

    2. A clutter-reducing rotating makeup/skincare organizer with shelves so you can conveniently peruse all of your options in an orderly (and aesthetically pleasing) fashion. I love anything that makes me feel like I'm shopping in my own home, tbh.

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    3. Baseboard Buddy, which is a four-foot extendable cleaning tool that makes it easy to reach those spots that would otherwise require a ladder or you kneeling uncomfortably on the floor. Now you can stop avoiding cleaning your baseboards, molding, ceiling fans, grates, and other tough spots, and finally make any room look truly spotless.

    The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. 

    Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

    4. Cute magnetic garage handles to add some serious charm to your plain ol' garage door for wayyy cheaper than the price of *actual* fancy doors.

    the magnets

    Promising review: "I’ve been wanting to upgrade our garage door for a long time and now I have no idea why I waited! The magnets are super strong. Purchased two sets but only used one set of 'handles,' I wasn’t a fan of how close I had to place each set next to each other with the narrow spacing on the door itself. Paired with the magnetic 'windows,' it looks like a brand new door!" —MrsPirate

    5. A pack of adhesive cord bundlers that easily stick to the backs of appliances so you can get that tangled web of power cords on your kitchen counter back under control.

    Get a 13-pack from Amazon for $9.50+ (also available in multipacks). 

    6. A door draft stopper here to keep out not only the cold air that loves to sneak in under your door, but also the pests that use the same point of entry to mooch off of your furnace and crumbs when it gets chilly outside. Some reviewers have also found that it's great for blocking unwanted sound if you've got noisy neighbors or roommates.

    Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit Suavé

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

    7. The Pink Stuff, which has reached cult-favorite status for being great at removing stains, rust, discoloration, and other stubborn marks from metal, ceramic tiles, saucepans, barbecues, and much more without leaving behind any scratches!

    Promising review: "Great bed skirt. Love that it’s all one material and color all the way through. Most skirts have cheap material that goes under the mattress. This one has the same fabric on all of it, and it is a really nice quality. Fits great as well. Will definitely buy this brand again." —Todnaehop

    Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. When they arrived, I plugged them in while in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished I screwed the light bulbs all in :) I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora

    Can withstand temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 446 degrees F/230 degrees Celsius. Includes 24 tools and holder.

    Promising review: "I love the neutral color. I find them easy to clean. The cup has come in handy, even though I wasn’t planning on using it. The measuring cups are a little too flexible for my liking, but it was really amazing finding such a comprehensive set of kitchen tools with a stylish design. I purchased this set because I moved into a new apartment with like zero kitchen equipment and this was the perfect set for me." —Amazon Customer

    Get them from Amazon for $27+ (available in eight colors).

    Promising review: "I can't believe how well Old English works! I recently purchased a home where a dog previously lived and had horribly scratched the woodwork. I thought I may have to sand and refinish the woodwork around two doors. Old English saved me a lot of work! " —Behold Behold!

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available for light woods).

    12. A sleek (but ventilated!) box cleverly designed to hide those ugly piles of tangled cords cluttering up your floors.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This box does the trick. I'm able to place a few cords in here and the only thing I would change is to make it so the top stays on; maybe a groove it has to slide through so it can't fall off. It looks nice and it works well." —Gigi

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99. Check out an option that'll blend in with wood floors.

    13. curved shower curtain rod that'll make your shower feel bigger without having to, you know, remodel your entire bathroom. It's also super adjustable, making it easy to fit in a wide variety of bathroom layouts.

    Promising review: "I am in love with this perfect matte black curved shower curtain rod! Semi easy to install. Because it’s curved, it does take some time to install both sides and make sure it’s lined up. Comes with everything you could need to install. Other than that, this shower rod is a dream." —Siarra

    Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in five finishes).

    14. tidy wall shelf — hang it by the door to encourage your roommates to stop cluttering up the kitchen table or other surfaces with their keys and piles of unopened mail.

    Promising review: "This is a really nice and simple walk shelf. We use it for wallets, keys, sunglasses and our check book. It doesn’t take up a lot of room and is very attractive." —SP

    Get it from Amazon for $43.09.

    15. A grout pen that works like a regular marker to make it beyond easy to cover up the years and years of dirt and grime that are keeping your bathroom from ever looking truly clean.

    Promising review: "We moved into our new home, and the shower had a really yellow grout. Cleaning didn’t do anything, and I saw this grout pen online. What a saver! Otherwise, I would have just hired someone to replace my shower. I used this grout pen, and my husband was so impressed :D The tip loses its shape fast, but just pull out the TIP AND FLIPPED IT OVER, and you’ll have a new tip." —jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).

    16. A kitchen sink corner sponge organizer so you can neatly store your dishwashing tools, soap, and more in a tiny space. Now they'll stop cluttering up (and dripping all over) your countertop!

    This is also a better option than an organizer that hangs over your faucet because the weight of those can mess with your water flow!

    Promising review: "This fits our sink perfectly! It's not too big and holds a sponge and two bottles of soap. We have a standard apartment sink and it fits perfectly, it also holds very well. We have it suctioned on the sink not the counter." —Erin Johnson

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    17. A bottle of leather conditioner here to bring your beat up leather furniture back to their glory days. This stuff has over 35,000 five-star ratings!

    Reviewers note that using this may darken the leather, so keep that in mind!

    Promising review: "Excellent product! So happy I tried it! I wore kitchen gloves and smoothed a thin layer of the product all over the couch, instead using of the cloth. Went way faster and I didn’t waste product soaked up by the cloth." —Kristie

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

    18. A sock and underwear organizer set in case your drawers have devolved into a writhing, tangled mess. No more digging for that one sock that you swear you just saw when you're already running late and texted "omw" like 20 minutes ago.

    reviewer photo showing messy drawer before using organizers

    It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments.

    Promising review: "I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit but finally, I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I’m in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks or tights or undies each can fit more than one on top of each other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you’ll be super glad you did!" –Chrissquasi

    Get it from Amazon for $12.48+ (available in seven colors).

    19. prismatic window film — it's easy to stick on any glass surface for an extra layer of privacy *and* some gorgeous rainbow reflections when the sun peeks out that'll make your space feel a little more magical.

    Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." —J. B.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in a variety of sizes)

    20. A set of adjustable mug organizers that'll revolutionize the way you store your mugs. The expandable legs make it easy to securely stack mugs of different shapes and sizes so you can take advantage of unused vertical space in your cabinets.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I cannot say enough good about these." —ChefGirl

    21. A plant-based stainless-steel cleaner and polish — it quickly dissolves fingerprints and smudges on kitchen appliances so keeping up with the carnage left behind by your little ones isn't such a chore.

    Promising review: "This is hands-down the only product that has ever perfectly cleaned my stainless steel appliances. It deserves 10 stars because nothing else comes close to removing streaks and toddler finger prints as easily and completely as this. I have tried for years to get my appliances to look like new. Everyone who has stainless should own this." —Danielle

    Get a bottle from Amazon for $19.95 (also available as a pack of two).

    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

    "These are my favorite decorating items ever. I purchased them four years ago in medical school and they have held up over many moves." —Susan Giampalmo

    23. Pretty glass dispensers you can fill with your soaps and conditioners to rid your shower of ugly plastic bottles and tubes and go for a more luxurious spa vibe. Even the cheapest shampoo will look like a million bucks once it's decanted into one of these.

    Promising review: "I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something which seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." —Rebecca Morea

    Get set of two from Amazon for $16.99.

    24. A burlap table runner that'll add some serious charm to any boring ol' dining room table.

    Promising review: "I love my new runner! The neutral gray fits perfectly in my neutral fall table decor and will easily transition into my Christmas decor. It’s a lightweight cotton (100%), so I will use my washer’s delicate cycle and then hang it to dry. I anticipate I will have to iron it afterward, which is no big deal. For the style and inexpensive price it’s worth the effort." —Florida Gal

    Get it from Amazon for $12.54+ (available in a variety of sizes and color combos).

    the same under the sink now organized with a shelving unit

    Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small — under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end so that's easy enough to do-comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Jennifer Mowry

    Get it from Amazon for $22.87 (available in three finishes).

    27. A super satisfying-to-use electric pressure washer if you need a little extra power at your disposal when it comes to cleaning layers of grime and discoloration off of your deck, patio, car, driveway, fence, boat, and more.

    Promising review: "Power washer was delivered Monday, it’s Wednesday and I have washed two cars, cleaned driveway and sidewalks, cleaned back fence, and the work keeps piling up; everything I see now needs to be cleaned! This little dude does not back down; plenty of power and it's surprisingly not too loud. Soap dispensers work great, and the tips are easy to change." —Mar

    29. set of throw pillow covers to brighten up your space and make your couch or bed feel a whole lot cozier.

    four pillows in white with grey and brown ikat, floral, leaf, and trellis prints on them, respectively
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I enjoy switching out the living room throw pillows with the seasons/holidays. These pillow covers were even better than I had hoped, vibrant colors and soft durable fabric. I love that they complement each other while being four different patterns. Even though they are light in color, they were thick enough to cover the ugly red and orange pumpkin pillows underneath. I would definitely recommend them." —J. Nordstrom

    Get this set of four 18"x18" covers (which you can def use on 20"x20" pillows, too) from Amazon for $15.99 (available in a variety of colors).

    Of course, depending on your decor preferences, Amazon has dozens of under-$25 throw pillow sets available (velvet, fuzzy plush, geometric patterns...) — I bet you can find something you'd love!

    Several reviewers said it really helps to use a wallpaper smoothing tool — you can get one for $4.99!

    Promising review: "It bothered me that my dishwasher was black and didn't match my stainless steel stove and fridge, so I decided to give this a try. I'm glad I did! It legit looks like my dishwasher is stainless steel now. It's not big enough to cover the whole thing at once so there is a seam, but I put the seam on the lower half of the dishwasher and it's not very noticeable at all. If I didn't know to look for it, I probably wouldn't see it. Just make sure you wash whatever you're applying it to so that it sticks well, and go slowly when applying so you don't get bubbles." —Sharon

    32. A standing weeder here to help you achieve a flawless lawn without ending up with a sore back every time you do yard work.

    Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy.

    Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    33. A tub-and-tile kit so you can give your shower area a major makeover — *without* having to splurge on a full restoration or replacement.

    before: reviewer's almond color tub and surround
    after: the same tub and surround, now shiny white

    One reviewer even used it to repair a cracked sink! It's epoxy that works in two parts: first, your spread the base on, then when that's done, the activator.

    Promising review: "Refinished an old tub with a very chipped up and dull finish. Now it looks absolutely amazing. The brightest, glossiest white tub I've ever seen! Prep is the key, like in all painting jobs. Make sure you sand the surface completely. I went over it with lacquer thinner to prep for painting. Make sure to use a fine bristled brush, to keep it looking even. It does smell something awful for three days as it's curing. An open window and box fan is a necessity. Totally worth it though. I coated the whole tub twice and the bottom a third time and still had 1/4 can left over." —millard filmore

    Get it from Amazon for $65.

    34. Some reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs with attachable cup holders to turn your yard into the ultimate relaxation station this spring. Plus, you can fold them up for easy portability if you wanna take 'em on the go.

    Promising review: "Heaven in a Chair. Love everything about the zero gravity chair! This is my first experience sitting in a chair like this... and I love it. I fell asleep outside, and it felt better than a hammock. I bought the beige... love the color. The fabric feels like a tough nylon. It has already rained on my chair, so I can attest that the chair is waterproof. The water beads off the fabric. I dried off the chair easily and effortlessly. The attachable table is adorable and fits perfectly on the frame of the chair. So happy I purchased." —tgi2day

    Promising review: "For the price and the look I think it's a good buy. It's easy to install — has simple set up to screw into the wall and know that its secure. Looks great, blends with almost everything. This could be used literally anywhere, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, bedroom above your night stand, as organization throughout the house, endless possibilities. These look great and can hold enough without having to tear up your wall with a shelf or extra mounting hardware. As it stands, it's a good price and made of great quality." —Standard St8 Kicker

    This particular model allows you to put a vertical divider on the inside, depending on how big your litterbox is, so you could use the other half for storage, too.

    Promising review: "Perfect to hide a large litter box. I did not use the divider and instead moved the box to the back to prevent the litter from getting out and the dog from getting in. It was super easy to put together. I did it alone and it took about 40 minutes. I did not have any problems with the cats adjusting to the enclosure. I added a cushion and some pillows for the cats to lounge on. Love it!" —Danielle Marie
