1. A gold-tone bar cart from Novogratz to bring a little Jazz Age glam to your home. This portable, wheelable piece has three shelves ready and is waiting to hold all of your favorite cocktail accessories — and hey, if cocktails aren’t your thing, you can use it as a bookshelf, a display space, or the fanciest cleaning supply storage you could possibly imagine.
Promising review: “Perfect for small spaces. Not meant for someone who has a huge liquor collection or glassware collection, but perfect for me in my New York apartment. Fits a few bottles of wine and a few bottles of liquor plus my wineglasses and tumblers easily.” –Catherine
Price: $69.99 (originally $99.99)
2. An accent cabinet reviewers say is so versatile, they’ve used it for everything from coffee bar setups to TV stands. It includes an open shelf on the bottom and two shelves hidden behind the pair of doors – and there are holes in the back to accommodate cables and wires, too.
Promising review: “Just what I wanted for my master bathroom. It took a while to assemble, but I particularly liked how adjustable the cabinet doors were. The hinges are genius, if you pay attention to the instructions, so that I was able to hang them perfectly straight and centered without much fuss. It brought some much-needed storage space and a decorative element to an empty wall.” –Christine
Price: $167.99 (originally $199.99, available in four colors)
3. A 4-foot-tall, multi-tiered bamboo plant stand, so you can make sure all of your green babies can get the sunlight they need to thrive – without taking up every surface in your home. Pro tip: You can display more than just plants on it, too!
Promising review: “This was a present for my teenage daughter who has become quite the green thumb. It is a perfect addition to her collection of plants and sits well on top of a low table in front of a window, but still lets in light! She LOVES it!” –Allison
Price: $94.32+ (originally $98.32+, available in two colors)
4. A floor lamp with two étagère shelves, so you can display a few objets d'art while you illuminate your space. And if you’re into ~mood lighting~, the three-way switch lets you adjust the brightness level while you’re at it.
5. A handsome and handy lift-top coffee table, because why clutter up your space with three bulky pieces of furniture when one sleek one will do? Beyond its usual function as, y’know, a coffee table, this piece works as a desk when it’s open – and it boasts a roomy storage area in the main compartment.
Promising review: “I’ve been having to work from home. I don’t have a desk, so when I saw this coffee table that functions as a desk as well, I thought it would be perfect! It has worked out great so far for me. It will look great in my future apartment, too, for the living room. I put it together by myself and it took about 20 minutes. It was not difficult at all especially since the hinge part is already together. Great buy!” –Morgan
Price: $174.99 (originally $209.99, available in two colors)
6. A plug-in wall sconce, so you can light up your life without needing to mess with your home's wiring. Just mount this chic gold number near any outlet, plug it in, and turn it on – no electrician required!
Promising review: “Love these lights! I was looking for something that could function as a bedside lamp, without taking up real estate on my nightstands. Though we have an overhead light in our room, we find ourselves using the lamps more often for softer lighting, especially in the evening. Love the mid-century look!” –Jennifer
Price: $136.99 (originally $172.99)
7. A velvet storage ottoman with cute little hairpin legs you’ll never stop finding uses for. It’s seating! It’s a footrest! It’s a side table! And, of course, it’s a place to stash those odds and ends floating around the room that you just want to get out sight!
8. Or, a round, faux leather storage ottoman, because out of sight doesn’t have to mean out of mind. Sit on it, rest your feet on it, give yourself some extra surface area – and then, when you need an extra blanket or pillow, lift off the top and grab what you need. No muss, no fuss.
9. A floating TV stand that comes in tons of different finishes, because you don’t have to sacrifice style to adopt a minimalist look. The three compartments (two of which have doors!) on this piece offer a space to stash video game consoles and more – but thanks to the fact that’s it wall-mounted, it’ll free up your floors and make your living room look so much more open.
Promising review: “This is a terrific piece. I first ordered one for my living room and after a few months I ordered bright yellow and brown one for my bedroom. I like having no footprint on the floor; makes it easier to clean the floors. The piece attracts many compliments. It adds to a contemporary and clean look: very functional, hiding cords, components, and miscellaneous items in the compartments. The pull-down front doors are convenient. Very pleased with these units.” –Max
Price: $139.99+ (originally $154.99+, available in eight colors)
10. A rice paper room divider screen with a gorgeous plum blossom print that looks way more expensive than it actually is. Whether you use it to split up your space or place it along the wall for some visual impact, this four-panel, pine-framed screen adds a ton of pizzazz with almost no effort.
11. A rolling kitchen cart so you can beef up your kitchen storage and your prep space, all in one go. This piece has a pine wood frame equipped with two shelves (one of which can be used as a wine rack!), a storage basket, and a drawer, along with a stainless-steel countertop – and it’s got a compact footprint, making it perfect for small kitchens.
I just picked up a similar piece to this one for my own kitchen, and I honestly cannot believe what a difference keeping my three most-used pieces of cookware on its shelves instead of on my stovetop has made in terms of how neat the space looks.
Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE this. Fits nicely in a small passage in my NYC apartment. I need the extra counter space, but love that I can use this for some extra storage and decor in my limited space, too. I just put the tray off the top and roll in on over to my teeny tiny Manhattan kitchen when I need it! I hosted my first Thanksgiving in 2019 for a whole host of friends and family and was able to use this to ceremoniously roll out the turkey for some added fun!” –Ruth
Price: $132.99 (originally $149, available in four colors)
12. A baker’s rack that’s both microwave-compatible and equipped with wine bottle storage. Whether you need some extra shelving in your kitchen or a sideboard that won’t take up a ton of space in your dining area, this elegant, steel-framed piece might fit the bill.
Promising review: “Couldn’t be happier with this baker’s rack in our studio apartment. It has a very small footprint and nicely tucks into a corner. The end result is transformation of an otherwise drab and dull piece of wall. It is sturdy, stylish, and functional. Lovely!” –Wenyi
Price: $144.99 (originally $198.00)
13. A ladder-style desk with clean lines, because minimalism is in. This small space-friendly workstation mounts to the wall for extra sturdiness, while its two additional shelves make sure that everything you need stays close by – perfect for Getting Stuff Done.
Promising review: “Love this desk! Fits perfectly in my small apartment. Very essential now that I am working from home. Just waiting for the Wayfair desk chair I want to come back in stock and my work station will be complete. I used Handy assembly services to assemble and install. Everything was completed to my satisfaction. The desk arrived earlier than originally estimated which was perfect and I was able to schedule the Handy services for a few days after the desk arrived. I definitely recommend this desk!” –Megan
Price: $219.99 (available in two colors)
14. A rolling seagrass filer that’ll give your workspace a relaxed vibe you just can’t get from a standard metal cabinet. It opens with a lift-top, providing easy access to all your most important papers and documents – but it can also be used as convenient storage for blankets or other nonwork-related things, too.
Promising review: “Great replacement for my bulky metal filing cabinet. Very functional and blends nicely with various styles (natural, boho, beachy). Sturdy enough for storage and infrequent access, but not sure how it would hold up to heavier usage and probably wouldn’t recommend if that’s your need.” –Rebeca
Price: $86.99 (originally $91.99)
15. Or, a two-drawer vertical filer with a cozy, homey feel to it that'll help disguise its true purpose. Like the seagrass option, this one still doesn’t look like a filer; it has more of an end table-like appearance, so it’ll suit even the least office-y of home offices. Functionally, though, it’s a bit more like a traditional filing cabinet, thanks to its drawers and vertical orientation.
Promising review: “I love this filing cabinet! It was easy to put together, even by myself but I have put furniture together before. If you never have, two people would be helpful. It’s so pretty and fits perfectly in my bedroom. I was worried that, since I had to assemble it, the drawers wouldn’t open and shut smoothly, but they do!” –Kellie
Price: $152.99+ (originally $179.99, available in two colors)
16. An open geometric bookcase that’s as beautiful as it is functional. The metal frame gives it some industrial appeal, but the clean lines ensure it’ll blend in with a variety of different styles.
17. A rustic hall tree complete with a sturdy bench, so you've got a place to pause and make sure you’re truly ready to go before you leave the house. The 12 (12!) hooks and two full shoe storage shelves provide plenty of space to stash everything from coats and scarves to gloves and keys, cutting down significantly on the likelihood that you'll forget something on your way out.
Promising review: “Exactly what we needed in our wide hallway! We have a giant hall closet but it’s really not convenient for coming in from the garage and dropping shoes and coats which mean they end up everywhere! I needed something with enough storage for shoes, coats, baby carriers, bags, etc. I also wanted a bench to sit down and put shoes on. It doesn’t extend too far so it doesn’t impede the flow of traffic in the hallway, which was important with wild toddlers who run EVERYWHERE! And it included a child proofing strap which makes it feel even more sturdy. This hall tree was super easy to assemble and I was able to buy a matching bookshelf to sit next to it and fill the space.” –Sharissa
Price: $135.99 (originally $164.99, available in two colors)
18. Or, a wall-mounted coat rack if your entryway doesn’t have the space for a full hall tree. This neat-o wooden piece features five hooks that flip down when needed – but they can also fold away when not in use, leaving you with a wall hanging that looks like a piece of modern art.
Promising review: “I wanted a more organic and raw feel for my home. I bought two of these and hung them together near my front door. I love the way they look! I loved them so much, in fact, that I bought two more for the landing outside my condo so I have extra hanging space for winter coats/guests!” –Anonymous
Price: $44.99 (available in two colors)
19. A storage bench with three drawers and a shelf with three slide-out baskets, so you’ve got a place to sit down while you take your shoes off and a place to store them afterwards. I actually own this bench, and I can attest that it is both dead useful and looks terrific. I keep it in my dining area, which, as a bonus, means it can even be used for additional seating when my dining table’s leaf is extended.
20. A pair of adjustable bar stools, because not everyone has the same height needs when it comes to their seating. These snazzy, metal-framed stools can twist up or down, depending on the height of your table or the height of whoever is sitting in them (hi there, fellow short people!) – and the seats swivel, too. Because who doesn't like swiveling seats?
21. An extendable dining table perfectly suited for small spaces, because adjustable dining options aren’t just for huge, formal dining rooms. When this sleek wood table is closed up, it seats two to four; when you add the leaf, however, it can accommodate up to six.
Promising review: “This table was exactly what I was looking for. Small enough to fit in our eat-in-kitchen without overwhelming the room, and easily expands when we have guests over. Assembly was super easy and I was able to do it myself, although flipping the table over was a little difficult since it's quite heavy!” –Erin
Price: $269.99 (originally $372.50)
22. A convertible sofa with curved armrests and slanted legs that'll give your home some mid-century modern sophistication and your guests somewhere stylish to sit and sleep – all without sacrificing valuable space.
Promising review: “The perfect little convertible sofa! I have had this sofa for almost a year now and I am so impressed with how well it has held up. It is beautiful (I ordered the blush pink and I love it), classic, and sturdy. It is also very easy to move thanks to the removable arms, legs, and storage pockets. I cannot recommend this piece more highly!” —Valerie
Price: $334.99+ (originally $581+, available in eight colors)
23. A pair of velvet-upholstered chairs that can do double duty at the table and in your living room. There’s nothing quite like velvet to bring a luxe feel to your home – but the cute hairpin legs keep these seating picks from feeling stuffy. And they’re lightweight enough to move around wherever you need them, whenever you need them!
Promising review: “These chairs are attractive, comfortable and sturdy. They were easy to put together. I'm using one at my makeup table and the other at my sewing table. Light enough to carry to the dining room when I need an extra seat at the table.” –Anonymous
Price: $120.82+ for a set of two (originally $191.99+, available in nine upholstery colors and two leg colors)
24. An adorable two-person bistro set that’ll look great on your patio or in your kitchen – and since the lightweight pieces fold up, it’ll be a breeze transporting them from one location to the other. Each of the four bold color options are all weather-, water-, UV-, rust-, and mildew-resistant, too.
25. A colorful, four-tier utility cart you can use to store just about anything, and also make it ~cute~ at the same time. This metal cart has wheels for easy movement, although you can also park it and put on the brakes – literally – if you don’t want it going anywhere.
I got one of these for myself recently to help tame my embarrassingly large collection of skincare and cosmetics. See all of this? You know where it isn’t anymore? On top of my bathroom sink. In packed-to-the-gills boxes underneath my bathroom sink. Taking up two whole shelves inside the cabinet bit of the “gentleman’s chest” (weird name, but whatever) I use as a dresser. In a random bin on the floor. Instead, it’s aaaaaaaall inside this utility cart – and the difference it’s made for my bedroom is HUGE.
Promising review: “This cart is just what I needed for some kitchen storage. I wanted a cart that ... has four tiers, which was surprisingly hard to find anywhere else online, so if you're looking for a taller-than-average cart with compact storage, this is probably your best bet. Very easy to assemble, feels sturdy, great for small spaces, and it glides on its wheels with ease.” –Victoria
Price: $56.99+ (originally $65.99, available in seven colors)
26. A low-profile platform bed with a narrow storage shelf and USB charging ports, because if you use your phone as your alarm clock, keeping it close by and juiced up matters. A LOT. This comfy dream machine also combines an industrial chic look with rustic charm, thanks to its metal frame and solid pine headboard.
Promising review: “I am so impressed with the construction of this bed. It was very easy to put together you simply matched up the numbers on the pieces. Complete assembly hardware included. It is very sturdy and the USB port is really awesome. The color of the wood exactly matches the picture.” –DD
Price: $469.99
27. A brightly colored end table that’ll add some cheerful pizzazz to any room. With an open shelf up top and two drawers on the bottom, this sturdy acacia wood piece functions equally well as a living room surface as it does a bedside table.
28. A mid-century modern-inspired vanity and stool set with a removeable mirror, so you can change up the piece's role in your home whenever you want. Reviewers say it’s perfectly sized to work not just as a vanity, but also as a compact writing desk. Just add a table lamp and you’re good to go!
29. A lightweight dresser with – get this – fabric drawers that slot right into a sturdy metal frame. The look of the piece is super unique compared with the scads and scads of blocky, Scandi-style wood numbers you tend to see everywhere; at the same time, though, it’s classic enough that it’ll fit with just about any design aesthetic. And with six large drawers and three smaller ones, you can’t beat the storage space for the price!
Promising review: “I needed a lightweight, compact dresser for my small living space and this is exactly what I was looking for. It fits all of my clothing nicely. It’s nice and light, but surprising spacious. It took about an hour to assemble by myself and instructions were easy to follow. I would highly recommend.” –Megan
Price: $189.99 (originally $202.99)
30. A solid wood over-the-toilet storage unit that’ll give your bathroom extra storage space and extra décor space at the same time. With three shelves, this birch piece can hold useful items like soap and toilet paper while also displaying calming knickknacks like reed diffusers and plants.
31. And a three-piece rattan seating group to make your outdoor spaces the envy of the neighborhood. With two cushioned chairs and a little table to go between them, this set is built for kicking back with a refreshing drink and a chat with your favorite person.
Promising review: “The chairs are comfortable and look nice on our enclosed porch. Assembly wasn’t too difficult other than some odd angles for turning those little wrenches! It took about 45 minutes to put both chairs and the table together. I gave them five stars for the price, delivery and quality. I would definitely recommend this set!” –Anonymous
Price: $239.99 (available in two cushion colors)
