Promising review: "These hangers are seriously low profile enough to give you close to twice the amount of space in your closet. Probably not necessarily a good thing, but I revamped my closet with these instead of donating a large portion of clothes to Goodwill (although I had already donated two other closets full until a friend recommended these hangers) and now my clothes all fit neatly! And they are sturdy, no more cracking hangers when you pull off an item of clothing in a tizzy. I'm very happy with my purchase of a few packs of these hangers. It cost pennies in comparison to a closet organizer system." —Lisa427

Promising review: "I used this adhesive film to turn two cheap IKEA tables into less-cheap-looking IKEA tables because I'm not made of money, but I would like others to believe I am. Super simple to use and you get a ton of it for the price. I was really pleased overall. The pattern actually looks like marble, not a weird pixel-y repetitive pattern so that's great as well. Also it was delivered same day which was miraculous as my DIY initiative tends to fade approximately 48 hours after I discover a project I want to do." —Spencer House
Get it from Amazon for $10.50+.
Promising review: "This stuff is awesome!! Bought some to cover up sun spots on a few windows before we sold our house, and couldn't believe how good it looked and how easily it installed. I could hardly tell the difference from the original wood! Recommend to anyone looking for a cheap fix!" —Trent

Promising review: "This was exactly what I needed! Perfect to store some clothes under my bed! It fit perfectly. I like how the sides were not hard so it was easy to put under my bed, which has a shorter frame. Will definitely buy again when I need to store more clothes!" —Amazon Customer

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

Promising review: "I have a weird skinny window in my house where no normal window covering works. People walking on our community trail can see up into our upstairs bathroom when the light is on and it's dark outside. Not a good plan at all. So I used this window film and cut different-sized circles and placed them on this window to interrupt the view into the house. Worked perfectly! Very easy to use." —Marsgard
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in eight sizes).
I have this and — without giving you too much detail about what my butt's up to — it's really fantastic. It was really easy to install, works fantastically, and I'm so happy I can easily bring it with me whenever my current lease it up. A worth-it upgrade that I totally recommend. The version pictured above is the Omigo Element, which has rear and front washes. I think this totally suffices, but if you want a touch more luxury, try the Element+, which can also attach to hot water for a warm wash.
Promising review: "I can't believe we waited so long to make the switch. The bidet life is where it's at — so fresh and so clean! The reduction of toilet paper use is a plus. We are saving money and probably some trees. I like having the front and back options on the dial — it helps to get the job done. I would like to eventually upgrade to one of the seat attachment models one day. The Element is incredibly easy to install and all the reference materials provided in the box and on the site was very thorough. No regrets!" —Junahlyn H.
Get it from Omigo for $71 (originally $79).

The liner is machine-washable for maximum cleanliness!
Promising review: "This is the way to go if you've had it with trying to find the seemingly non-existent mildew-proof plastic liner. These are sheer enough to let a fair amount of light through and it took eight months for any mildew to start forming in a shower where before I'd be replacing the liner every three months. The liner launders perfectly (used gentle cycle and extra low heat) so unless it's used roughly I can see it remaining in good shape through a number of wash cycles." —A. Quint
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in six colors and six fabrics).
I used to buy live monstera leaves at the corner shop. They really brightened up the room and lived much longer than traditional flowers. The only problem is that they do still die after a while. These fake ones will never hurt you like that.
Get them from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in packs of 4–6, with monstera or palm leaf options).
Promising review: "It's frugal elegance! Beautiful heavy thick acrylic plastic with gold accent edges. It looks like crystal or cut glass at fraction of the cost." —NorCalMom23
Get it from Target for $13.
Promising review: "Very impressed with this couch especially for the money! We put it in our Airstream trailer, and it has taken the design to another level. So happy we pulled the trigger on this. I also like the mustard color — unique and funky. It is firm but still comfortable." —William Skiles
