55 weird things you didn't know about that make every room in your home look better
Sometimes the weirdest little item can dial your whole space up a notch. Cool lighting that sticks on to install, adhesive trim that adds polish, and cable-concealing hiders are small, strange changes, but can result in a home that looks straight out of a magazine. With that in mind, I put together this list of weird wonders that make a big impact, and help every room in your home look its very best.
There’s no drilling necessary when installing this floating shelf. The included adhesive tape lets you press it right into place on tile, glass, and metal surfaces — or even on a mirror. Once in place, it’s designed to hold up to 15 pounds. The sleek acrylic frame effortlessly matches just about any decor style, and it comes in several sizes.
You don’t need to be a DIY expert in order to fix small drywall holes around your home. Enter: this putty. It’s suitable for use with holes up to 3 inches in diameter — simply squeeze it into the hole, scrape away any excess, then allow it to dry before painting over. This putty is also shrink- and crack-resistant.
If you’re tired of wiping drips off your sink top, this splashguard is worth a look. It’s made from absorbent diatomaceous earth that soaks up water, drying within just a few seconds to help keep everything looking clean. Choose from three colors: white, light gray, or dark gray.
There’s no hardwiring required with this LED wall sconce — it’s made with a powerful battery that gets up to 20 hours of light per charge, and the base has strong 3M adhesive that sticks right onto the wall. You can switch between three light temperatures: warm white, natural white, or white. Choose from three finishes: faux wood, black, or white.
Unlike some types of cleaning sprays, this one is specifically formulated to leave behind a streak-free shine on stainless steel. The lavender scent also gives it a pleasantly uplifting aroma — and each order includes a microfiber cloth to get you started.
Whereas some power strips are made with bulky plugs that jut out from the wall, this one features a flat plug, allowing you to press furniture right up against it without damage. The 6-foot power cable makes it easy to use with distant outlets. Plus, each order even includes a handy cord concealer kit that you can use to adhere the power cable to the wall for a tidy look.
You don’t have to buy a new couch just because the cushions are sagging. Enter: this support. Simply fold it to fit as needed, then place it underneath any cushion that’s sagging to help bolster it up. The best part? The sturdy wood frame can easily support up to 400 pounds.
It’s almost too easy for the cabinet underneath your sink to become a jumbled mess of toiletries and towels — but that’s where these organizers come in handy. Both tiers slide out so that it’s easy to grab any items stashed in the back with a gentle pull. Plus, each order includes eight removable dividers that you can use to break the tiers into multiple compartments.
Sometimes the smallest upgrades make the biggest impact — like adding this baseboard molding to your walls. It’s made from tough vinyl that’s made to last, with an adhesive backing that makes installation a total breeze. It also comes in more than 10 colors: white, faux wood, gray, and more.
Preserve all that elbow grease the next time your bathroom could use some cleaning. Instead, let this electric spin scrubber do most of the work for you. The head rotates up to 450 times per minute, easily powering through everything from soap scum to dirt — and the battery delivers up to 90 minutes of use before it needs to be recharged.
These suncatchers are an easy way to give any room a gorgeous pop of color. They’re made from premium-quality crystal that casts sparkling colors across your walls when the sun shines — and the lightweight design makes them easy to install. One reviewer wrote that they’re “very high quality and look great hanging in your window [...].”
This cord hider kit is an easy way to conceal a dangling cable and streamline your TV, computer, or lamp setup in the bedroom, office, and more. To use it, just cut the cord hider to size, attach the included adhesive tape, then stick it in place. You can even paint it to match the wall.
Place this cover on your glass stove, and it’ll help keep it safe from damage when you aren’t cooking. It’s made from tough silicone that’s heat-resistant up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and its grippy silicone surface is ideal for adding extra prep space to your kitchen, and you can also use it as a dish drying mat.
Your options are nearly endless when it comes to what you can store inside of these baskets. Whether it’s linens, pet supplies, kitchen items, or toiletries, the stackable design helps you maximize space when you place them inside closets or pantries. And since they’re made from waterproof plastic, they’ll hold up in humid bathrooms.
There’s no need to break out an entire can of paint........
