1. An electrical outlet cover with a power strip to organize cluttered cords stat. It's also pretty great if you want to push your furniture right up against the wall but can't because your phone charger adapter is in the way.
Promising review: "I have an outlet above our mantel that’s meant for a wall-mounted TV. We have a large painting covering it. We wanted to use the plug to power two Wi-Fi speakers on the long mantle. The thinness of the plug is perfect behind the painting. The power strip is hidden by a mantle clock. So, we have our two speakers to either side and no visible wires. This product may not work for every application, but for us, it’s 10 stars." —Chashum
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in five styles).
2. An expandable honeycomb drawer organizer because you know what's really cool? Being able to find a matching pair of socks.
Promising review: "OK, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but...it's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find...wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." —Brigette
Get it from Amazon for $7.70.
3. A pack of shelf dividers for organizing your clothes into neat and distinct piles. These dividers provide stability for soft clothes that tend to fall over into one big pile of mess.
4. A pair of clever ceiling fan chain pulls that'll put a stop to the frustrating occurrence of pulling the fan chain and having the light turn off. Now you'll always know when chain controls the fan speed and which chain controls the light.
Promising review: "Absolutely adorable! They add panache to the fan, and you never have to worry about which pull to choose. The set also makes it easier for me to reach them. They do not get in the way and are a sturdy fit into the original chain. Would highly recommend to anyone." —Scholar Mama
Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two lengths and four styles).
5. A peel-and-stick wallpaper if you're looking for a low-effort DIY. What's easier than a sticker?
Promising review: "I am IN LOVE. I bought this to use as a backsplash in my rented studio apartment kitchen, which has potential to be pretty but really needs some help. I ordered two rolls thinking that if I liked it in my kitchen, I’d order more to use on the wall behind my bar cart. I loved it so much when it came in that I decided to go ahead and put it up on the big wall and deal with the kitchen later. The pattern is so easy to line up and it looks so good! My tiny, dark apartment instantly looked bigger and brighter. Even up close I can’t tell where the seams are. It was super easy to put up by myself, though I would recommend having another person to help if possible because it would have taken a lot less time if I’d had someone to hold it steady while I lined up the edges. If I could give six stars I would. It’s expensive but worth every penny!" —Lizzy
Get it from Amazon for $30.98+ (available in three colors).
6. Or! A sheet of marble contact paper so you can cover larger areas. Thanks to its oil-proof and waterproof finish, it'll stand up to spills and mess.
Promising review: "I resurfaced my office desk with this paper and it looks really good. What I like about it is that it's waterproof (I have spilled coffee and water and it wipes up without soaking into the contact paper.) Easy to install and pretty. I just ordered another roll for my linen shelves and will be ordering more for my laundry cabinet shelves." —Amazon Customer
Get a roll from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five sizes).
7. A pack of double shower hooks to save you time when you wanna toss your dirty shower curtain liner in the washing machine. Now you don't have to remove the shower curtain too (and then inevitably hang it up backwards). And one certified genius even used the hooks as pant hangers. *mind blown*
Promising review: "Wow. Game-changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn’t you want to save yourself some time with these hooks! Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. Added bonus are the rings themselves, the balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" —Jdbouchart
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight finishes).
8. A detergent cup caddy, because, wow, this thing is genius. No more drips and spills that sit on the top of your laundry machine that you're too lazy to wash off and then they collect dust and get gross and you know you need to wash them but who knew cleaning was so hard? (No, this isn't me! How could you think such a thing?)
Promising review: "This is the answer to a prayer! My mom suffered a stroke and no longer has the use of one arm, which makes task such as pouring laundry detergent very difficult! Now she just puts the cup on this holder and presses the button with her good hand! Thank you!!!! And yes it is fabulous in stopping the drips!" —Tilara
Get it from Amazon for $13.77.
9. A wicker stair basket for holding all the junk you don't want to bring up or down — or trip over!
Promising review: "With three kids and a two-story house, we are constantly having to take things up and down the stairs. This basket is perfect for throwing their shoes, socks, or miscellaneous items in to take upstairs at the end of each night and put it all away. Much easier than carrying individually and wayyyy better looking on my stairs than random stuff strewn about." —Kacie Coehlo
Get it from Amazon for $30.30+ (available in two colors).
10. A pack of solar-powered waterproof deck lights that'll illuminate all the dark areas outside your home now that the sun sets earlier. Attach them to deck railings, on the side of your stairs, to your fence, and wherever else it's a little spooky at night.
Promising review: "These lights were easy to install and look great in on our deck. We just had a pool built and needed some light on the steps of the deck so we could see walking up the steps at night. They're beautiful without too much light." —BJ
Get 16 from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
11. A pack of floral wall decals if you've been watching home makeover shows before bed and now you fancy yourself a bit of an interior decorator. These peel-and-stick flowers provide all the fun of a big reveal without the stress of literally waiting for paint to dry.
Reviewers recommend mapping out where you want the stickers before placing them as the adhesive is quite sticky.
Promising review: "These were so easy to apply and were even more beautiful than I had thought. The color is rich and it makes my bedroom feel peaceful. I'm going to order another set to add some life to the adjoining bathroom." —Melissa A. Zimmerman
Get it from Amazon for $17.80 (available in five other designs).
12. A set of clear couch protectors so your furniture is protected from your cat's wrath. These self-adhesive pads blend in with your couch and chairs and can be cut to size.
Promising review: "Our cat was destroying the corner of our brand-new sectional, so I was excited to try these out. I didn’t want to try sprays or anything with pins that puncture the couches. I was a little worried about the quality of the adhesive, but the screen has been holding up and my cat no longer scratches that corner. There are plenty of screens in the package to add more if she finds a new spot." —NKakanis
Get a pack of six protectors from Amazon for $15.99 (available in larger packs).
13. A dual-zone comforter to keep the peace in the literal and figurative marital bed. No more fighting over someone hogging the blankets or turning on the AC overnight even though it's 40 degrees outside. Now everyone can be happy with their own side!
Promising review: "This comforter is what we’ve always needed. My husband and I are always tangled in blankets because I need more but yet they always end up on his side. This comforter provides an all-in-one solution that keeps me warm and him cool and our bedroom looking calm and zen." —Hannah
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
14. A lift-top coffee table because it'll hide your clutter in a chic way. It also doubles as a desk if you prefer working from the couch. You gotta spend money to make money, baby!
Promising review: "I absolutely love everything about this table. It so perfectly fits in the little corner of my room that I have designed for my quiet space. I love the vintage look it has. It’s very easy to lift and use as a desk (which I do quite often). The storage area inside the lift is very spacious. It’s actually more space than I expected. And I’ve used the side shelves for more decorative things. It’s a small coffee table, but it is exactly what I was looking for." —Lyteyz
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors).
15. A luxurious towel warmer for making the decision to leave the shower a little bit easier.
Promising review: "Works as advertised. I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but I am very satisfied. It's easy to use, and it's really great to have a warm towel on a cold morning." —Dennis Pullaro
Get it from Amazon for $159.99.
16. A KitchenAid attachment organizer that'll hold all the add-ons you've purchased for your stand mixer. Take advantage of vertical space and store them under your cabinets and within reach!
3D Home Solution is a small biz based in Frisco, Texas that makes really genius home organizers.
Promising review: "Just what I didn’t know I needed! My attachments didn’t have a good home. The whisk is too fat for my drawers, but I wanted to keep them together, and near the mixer, so they just sat on a shelf. Now they have a home, and they’re not blocking the canisters on the shelf!" —Noora
Get it from 3D Home Solution on Etsy for $12 (available in three colors and in two mounting styles).
17. A magnetic soap holder if you're tired of gunky soap bars that sit in their juices between showers. 🤮 Just press the magnet into the bar of soap and it'll adhere to the included base so your soap can dry out between uses and last a long longer.
18. A cute velvet storage ottoman so you can create a little more storage in your tiny apartment *and* provide guests with an extra seat when all the room on your itty bitty couch is gone.
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord swears by hers. In her own words:
"Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. 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 ten 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 was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in seven colors).
19. A Chef iQ smart pressure cooker to make you feel like you're a member of the Jetsons family. You can connect it to your phone via the Chef iQ app and discover guided recipes so you can stop ordering takeout for every meal. Your old pressure cooker probably still uses a landline!
I love my Chef iQ Smart Cooker for a lot of reasons but mainly the smart auto pressure release, so I no longer have to cross my fingers and hope my dinner doesn't explode in my face when I release the pressure valve by hand. It also has a handy built-in scale, which is super useful when a recipe calls for grams and the American education system once again fails me. On top of doing everything your old pressure cooker could do plus a whole heck of a lot more, my Chef iQ Smart Cooker just looks a lot sleeker, meaning I can leave it out on the counter without it being an eyesore.
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I must say this is by far my best purchase. I can't cook and this had made my husband and I have a different eating experience. If I could, I would give more stars. Now I have never had a pressure cooker, so I can't compare to anything else, however I will just tell you from my experience it is wonderful." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $135.30.
20. A wood kennel cover because it'll help you maximize space in your small apartment. Not only will it make your dog's crate less of an eyesore, but it'll also turn it into a functional piece for holding bits and bobs.
My Farmhouse Essential is a small business based in Gainesville, Georgia.
Promising review: "I ordered two crate toppers and they added a beautiful finishing touch to the dog area along with additional space to organize their stuff. The items arrived quickly and in great condition. I am very happy with the purchase." —Kathy Ryan
Get it from My Farmhouse Essential on Etsy for $37.99+ (available in a variety of sizes and finishes).
21. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers for helping you achieve a pantry that looks like Clea and Joanna from The Home Edit stopped by. Sure, pasta is great and all but aren't you tired of buying boxes of spaghetti only to realize you had an unopened box shoved in the back of your cupboard? This'll help you figure out what you do and don't have at a glance.
Promising review: "I have tried other brands of containers for airtight storage but they are a hassle to clean. This system is fantastic for airtight seal yet easy to clean. I like the variety of sizes, the cute labels, and the chalk marker. I will be ordering more!" —mds2006
Get it from Amazon for $27.19+ (available in three colors).
22. A fruit and veggie hammock that'll take full advantage of vertical space under your cabinets and make your kitchen counters feel more spacious.
Knapps Knots is a San Diego-based macrame and wood craft shop run by Anastasia Knapp, who is originally from Ukraine.
Promising review: "It’s a perfect addition to clear some counter space in my small kitchen. Everything I needed was included aside from a drill to pre-drill some starter holes for the hooks. My husband cut down the dowels an inch or so to fit under our narrow cabinets. The color of yarn I chose matches well with our kitchen colors and I love the style of yarn it was made with. Thank you!" —Kayla
Get it from Knapps Knots for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors)
23. A portable Bluetooth label maker if you want a Pinterest-worthy organized and labeled pantry. Alternatively, it's great for labeling your kids' stuff (esp. if they're constantly arguing with each other about whose water bottle is whose *or* they often leave their lunchbox at school).
Promising review: "I have used many label makers with built-in keyboards and I have to say this is so much better. The app gives a ton of flexibility to move text, change the size, add in custom elements and borders, create bar codes, and you can even save what you make, which would probably be amazing for small companies that label their products. This label maker is fun and works well. Only drawbacks I have experienced is emojis do not print out well and the app can be a little finicky when selecting the size of the label." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in six colors).
24. A genius drying rack so you can avoid any sweater shrinking mishaps in the dryer. These three-tier mesh racks will help speed up the drying process while taking up minimal space. Plus air-drying is gentler on the fabric than a tumble in the dryer, which can help extend the life of your sweaters.
Promising review: "I used this on my shower curtain rod and was pleased with the flexibility to rotate the flat drying racks to adjust articles and shape the drying space. I believe I can fit two in my tiny condo bathroom and will likely purchase another. I use for washing cashmere articles which are much softer when handwashed, and other delicates. Like other reviewers, I urge, when unpacking, to watch out! It does spring forth...! However when folded it collapses to near nothing — really useful for small spaces." —Lagringa
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
25. A mesh hammock to get your kiddos toys up and and off the ground.
26. An automatic toothpaste dispenser because I know you've always wanted one of these. It's great if you have little ones who make a mess squeezing toothpaste...and by little ones I mean a very messy roommate or partner.
Promising review: "Kids are gross! This makes them less gross! It contains all the gross toothpaste and keeps it from spreading all over your countertops. It is very easy to clean and reassemble! I highly recommend this to all parents." —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).
27. A wall-mounted retractable clothes rack for anyone who lacks a dryer or a lot of extra space. Each rack can hold up to 60 pounds, making it a great drying rack or extra storage for winter clothes in the garage.
Promising review: "MUCH better than the foldable floor type. It doesn't fold up and fall over like the other one we had did all the time. It stays out of the way and holds a lot of wet clothes for easy drying. VERY sturdy." —Elizabeth Sanders
"I love it! I use it in my laundry room. It’s so much better than the conventional clothes rack!" —KAREN J.
Get two racks from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in five colors).
28. A versatile Always Pan from Our Place that'll get the job done and look good while doing it. At the intersection of style and function is this pan, which has a steamer basket, a built-in easy-pour spout, and a nesting spatula.
Our team stans Our Place. Check out our Always Pan review for more deets!
Promising review: "Love the Always Pan! Super easy to clean. Cooks everything beautifully, and I especially love the steamer and how fast I can steam veggies. It’s also a beautiful pan in appearance, nice enough to go right from stove to table. Well worth the money!" —Cynthia K.
Get it from Our Place for $145 (available in eight colors).
29. An acrylic plant hanger if your home has become Plant Parenthood and your green babies are taking up nearly every inch of free space. ~Let's get vertical, vertical!~
Beautiful Views is a family-owned and veteran-owned small business based in South Carolina.
Promising review: "Not only do these shelves look amazing and give me so much more room for my plants but the customer service is amazing! I forgot to order extensions with my order so I contacted the shop and they helped me by making a special listing for the extensions. They placed them in my original order so everything came together. If you’re looking for a window shelf this is it!!" —Jamie Miner
Get it from Beautiful Views on Etsy for $74+ (available in three styles and five mounting options).
30. A panel of books so you can hide the jumble of cords and cables that's honestly a huge eyesore in your bedroom or living room. These books aren't actually for reading (they're attached to a hollow wood box), but people don't need to know you aren't a bookworm.
Covogoods is a woman-owned small business based in Utah.
Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme
31. A beanbag chair to store all your kiddo's stuffed animals *and* provide a comfy place to sit. That's right, you can unzip it and store toys inside. Bye bye clutter!
Promising review: "I didn't really believe that this beanbag would actually hold ALL of my children's considerable stuffed animal collection. Boy, was I wrong. From tiny beanie boos to a giant stuffed elephant, there are probably 40–50 stuffed animals in there, as well as a bolster pillow, and there still seems to be room to squeeze in the occasional stuffie I find lying around. It's such a great compromise: my kids refused to part with any of their stuffies, and we needed a beanbag anyway. Construction seems good quality, the fabric is nice, and it's good-looking. It's actually comfortable to sit on, not lumpy like I would've assumed. There is even a handle so you can drag it around easily. Highly recommend!" —JessicaSophia
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors)
