    31 Practical Home Items From Target That Just Make Life Easier

    Because no one *really* has time to clean their entire oven.

    1. A three-tier rolling metal utility cart that’ll keep everything from office supplies to cleaning must-haves neat, tidy, and organized. The wheels let you push and pull it wherever you need it to go; however, they're also lockable, so you can be sure the cart will stay in one place when you need it to. Bonus: It comes in loads of different colors, from bold and bright to soft and neutral. Decorative and useful? Yes, please!

    2. A brass accordion hook rail, so you can get your coats, bags, towels, hats, or masks organized with style. The 10 hooks on this rail offer plenty of storage – and it’s just. So. Pretty. Talk about combining form and function.

    3. A pack (or two, or three) of LED light bulbs that’ll light up your life – literally! – and keep it that way, too. These dimmable 60-watt bulbs fill the space with a soft, comforting glow — and because they’re LED, rather than incandescent, they’re energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and will last practically forever.

    4. A trio of suction cup shower organizers, so you can always keep your most-used bathing accoutrements close at hand. I mean, sure, you *could* just keep balancing your razor on the edge of the tub and hoping for the best — but why not do some decluttering with these sticky, grabby little gizmos instead?

    5. Some Lime-A-Way cleaner that’ll remove even the worst lime, rust, and mineral stains with a simple scrub. If you have hard water, you may have resigned yourself to those weird deposits and residue just, y’know, permanently existing everywhere you have running water – but with this powerful cleaner, you can finally live the lime-free life you didn't even know was possible.

    6. And a set of Wonder Hangers, so you can truly maximize your closet space. This neat tool cascades your clothes, allowing you to fit up to five hangers’ worth of items into the rod space of just a single hanger. Magic? Not quite, but close!

    7. A double-rod garment rack with an open storage shelf that’ll boost your wardrobe storage without taking up a ton of space. If you like to rotate out your outfits seasonally, this rustic-chic pick will keep your most-used pieces readily available while the others remain tucked away until the weather changes. It rolls, too, so you can move it around with ease.

    8. A TikTok-famous soap-dispensing dish brush, because doing the dishes – or cleaning anything else, for that matter – doesn't have to be gross. Just open up the handle and load it up with your favorite cleaner, close it up, then press the button on the handle while you're scrubbing away – the brush will dispense soap for you as you go.

    9. A cleaning caddy to keep all your neatening-up supplies in one place and facilitate the easy transportation of them around your home. This caddy not only includes four little buckets to stash your sprays, sponges, and rubber gloves in, it also separates out into two individual caddies, as well. It’s basically a Transformer, except it’s for cleaning instead of defending the Earth against Decepticons.

    10. A Google Nest smart thermostat, because you deserve to live in a home that's the absolute perfect temperature at all times. This option, which you can control with a smartphone app, actually learns what you do and don’t like, climate-wise, so you don't have to constantly fiddle with it. It practically operates itself.

    11. A modular vanity organizer, so you'll never have to wonder what you did with your favorite moisturizer or serum again. The organizer's three little compartments all nest within a larger tray, so you can easily sort your items by type — and there are even hidden magnets along the sides to keep bobby pins and other metallic bits and bobs all in one place.

    12. A pack of Command hooks, because they’re good for hanging up almost everything – towels, tapestries, string lights, you name it. This multi-pack includes six medium-sized hooks capable of holding 3 pounds each.

    13. A stackable wire basket or two, so your storage solutions can be as pretty as they are functional. This pick, which is made of iron and finished with pewter, is perfect for keeping your bath time favorites, cleaning supplies, snack stash, or what-have-you all together in one spot. And because they stack, you can even make a neat lil' storage tower out of them!

    14. A timelessly elegant aluminum and bamboo shower caddy, because you'd be surprised how much of a difference having a well-ordered shower can make to your morning or evening routine. And the bottom shelf on this caddy is designed specifically to accommodate extra tall bottles, ensuring it’ll fit everything you need it to.

    15. An interlocking drawer organizer set, so that even your junk drawer can be functional and aesthetically pleasing. Rather than one big, clunky piece, this set includes eight smaller compartments of various sizes that can be Tetris’d together to fit any drawer size.

    16. A mesh router system that’ll boost the internet signal in your home in ways you wouldn’t believe. No need to resign yourself to having weird dead zones scattered throughout your abode; a good mesh router like this one will extend and strengthen the Wi-Fi signal so that it reaches everywhere.

    17. A couple of coiled rope baskets to corral all your linens, books, kids’ toys, or any other odds and ends. These baskets work equally well on open shelves and hidden away inside closets, so whether you’re hoping to modernize your space by giving it clean-looking visible storage, or just by getting everything out of sight once and for all, they might be the thing to reach for.

    18. A lightweight, bagless, cordless Dyson vacuum that’ll make keeping your floors clean a breeze. This kind of vacuum is so much easier to move around your home than the huge, corded vacuums of old were. You can change out the attachments with the click of a button; it easily converts to a hand-held device, negating the need to spring for an additional hand vacuum; and, since it has a wall-mounted charging dock to live in, it stays out of the way when you’re not using it.

    19. A round, tufted storage ottoman with cute li’l tapered legs, because nothing makes life easier than multi-functional furniture. Open it up and you can stash blankets, remote controls, and other loose items inside; then, close it up and you can use it as a footrest, as extra seating, or even as a neat alternative to a coffee table.

    20. A floating wall shelf that’ll add display or storage space without taking up any valuable square footage on your floor. This rustic-yet-modern shelf blends with many decor styles, and works for plants, hand towels, lotion and soap bottles, and reed diffusers, proving it to be both functional and pretty.

    21. A no-spill ice cube tray, because making sure you’ve got perfectly chilled beverages doesn’t have to be messy or painful. This tray from OXO includes a sealed silicone lid that keeps whatever you put inside the tray right where it belongs.

    22. An industrial-chic pivot shade desk lamp with a neat-o modern design that’ll illuminate your life in all the right ways. The cone-shape shade moves on a pivot, so you can direct the light whichever way you need it to go. And it’s compatible with LED, incandescent, and halogen bulbs, too, so it should work with whatever you’ve got on hand.

    The lamp in the color Yellow

    23. A faux leather-and-metal hook rail for your entryway, so you’ll never forget your keys before you leave the house again. The envelope-style pocket gives you a useful place to stash ingoing or outgoing mail, too, and with four hooks, you’ve got plenty of space for other can’t-leave-home-without-‘em items.

    The hook rail

    24. A touchless trash can that opens all by itself, thanks to a handy-dandy motion sensor. If you have never given yourself the gift of one of these things, now is a great time to do so; it’s a game changer if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen. No more smudging up your trash can if you’re in the middle of cooking something messy – just wave your hand over the top of this 4-gallon baby and it’ll open up for you.

    The trash can

    25. An Instant Pot Duo, because no kitchen is complete without one these days. This ubiquitous, seven-in-one appliance not only pressure cooks, but also slow cooks, makes rice and yogurt, steams veggies and other foods, sautés things, and keeps it all warm if it finishes cooking before you’re ready to eat. There’s a reason this super useful item has basically taken over the home culinary landscape.

    The Instant Pot

    26. A pan and lid rack that’ll put an end to the whole “Ugh, where is the lid to this very specific pot, guess I have to empty the entire cabinet to find it…” problem once and for all. This adjustable rack features seven dividers perfect for stashing lids, baking sheets, wire racks, and more – and since it fits right inside your cabinets, you’ll be able to see everything you’ve tucked away in it with ease.

    27. Some zip-up underbed storage bags, so you can make the most of the underutilized space beneath your sleeping nest. I have a couple of similar bins myself; I use them to store spare sheets, blankets, and bath towels. These bags pack easily; they slide in and out easily; and they zip open and closed easily. Literally everything is easy.

    28. An oven liner, because who has time to clean their entire oven every time something drips? With this guard slipped over the bottom rack, you can be sure the bottom of your oven is always drip-proof and free of little burned bits. It’s easy to pull out and rinse when necessary – and once it’s dry, you can just pop it back in. Easy!

    The oven liner

    29. A surge protector that’ll also increase the number of outlets you’ve got, because the struggle of having more devices than outlets is real. This pick from Philips features three regular outlet plugs and two USB charging ports; just plug it in, and bam – your two-plug outlet has more than doubled in capacity, and in a way that’ll keep your devices safe during power surges, too.

    The surge protector

    30. A pair of adjustable drawer dividers, so you can finally get your sock drawer under control. These expandable dividers can adjust from 12 inches in length to 18, while the spring-loaded action and rubber bumpers ensure they’ll always stay where you put them. Divvying up your drawers has never been easier.

    31. And a Ring wireless video doorbell that’ll give you all the peace of mind. Operated with a smartphone app, this Amazon Alexa-compatible, motion-activated device also has two-way talk functionality. You’ll always know who’s at your door – even if you’re not home.
