Transform Your Home The Lazy Way: 46 Simple Tips To Make It Look AmazingIncluding how to (easily) fake some coveted carriage-style garage doors.

1.

Add magnetic garage handles and faux windows that’ll bring some serious curb appeal to your home for an EXTREMELY small fraction of the price of getting some carriage-style doors. Seriously, just stick them on like you do magnets on a fridge. We’re starting out very easy here, folks.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “I’ve been wanting to upgrade our garage door for a long time and now I have no idea why I waited! The magnets are super strong. Purchased two sets but only used one set of ‘handles,’ I wasn’t a fan of how close I had to place each set next to each other with the narrow spacing on the door itself. Paired with the magnetic ‘windows,’ it looks like a brand-new door!” —MrsPirate

Get them from Amazon for $13.67+ (available in four sets and variations).

2. *Easily* install curtains with NoNo Brackets, aka curtain rod brackets that fit onto your existing blinds so that you don’t have to fool with drilling any holes and having to spackle them later or (!!!) get charged when you move out of your rental.

Promising review: “This bracket is awesome and was extremely easy to install. We were able to hang curtains over our vertical blinds in just a few minutes and didn’t even need any tools. Great product!!!” —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $21.95 (also available in brown, black, gold, and brass, and also available in inside-mount brackets).

3. Or if you’re more than willing to drill some holes, put curtain rods 6–12 inches above the tops of your windows to make your ceilings feel taller.Amazon

Trust me, it won’t look weird! Just remember to account for that extra needed length when buying curtains.

Get two curtain panels from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 curtain patterns).

4.

Maxed out your bookshelves? Mount a floating bookshelf as a clever excuse to display your to-read pile.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately 5–7 hardbacks in my experience). They’re a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we’ve placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I’d highly recommend!” —LaBuenaVidaMere

Get a set of three from Amazon for $24.75+ (available in two sizes).

5.

Stick on a USB-powered LED light strip to help improve your TV-watching experience by bringing in a bit of ambient light to your personal theater.

Amazon

Promising review: “Easy to install. Lights provide ample lighting; USB allows lights to be a standalone fixture without tying up another wall socket. The USB interface also acts to turn the lights on and off with the TV. Backlighting also seems to make the screen seem sharper.” —Shaun

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL).

6. Turn back time on your shower surround in a mere six hours with a mold and mildew removal gel. (Can’t wait for Cher to drop that remix.) Promising review: “It’s a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn’t caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!” —Brooklyn Nguyen

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

7.

A guided gallery wall kit in case you haven’t gone as far as buying frames just yet. It comes with seven frames, a hanging template, hardware, and some pretty black-and-white prints you can use as placeholders ’til you figure out which pics will go in this place of honor.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I love this set! It was delivered quickly, all of the frames and glass came in perfect condition. My favorite part of the entire thing was the guide it came with. After putting the pictures in the frames, I hung the guide, made sure it was level, and drilled the holes right into the paper. Everything came out level, the frames and pictures look great. Definitely happy with this purchase.” —Cristina C Sanchez

Get it from Amazon for $41.17+ (available in two finishes).

8. Cover up dings and discoloration on door frames and molding with some wood scratch cover so everything will blend in like normal. Also, it requires no sanding or refinishing! Cue to you on the prowl for more wood surfaces you can fix up.

Promising review: “I can’t believe how well Old English works! I recently purchased a home where a dog previously lived and had horribly scratched the woodwork. I thought I may have to sand and refinish the woodwork around two doors. Old English saved me a lot of work! ” —Behold Behold!

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.20.

9. And use wood polish and conditioner that’ll revive all sorts of wood surfaces and furniture in your home with some patient rubbing. Reviewers have used them to zhuzh up front doors, kitchen cabinets, wood floors, wood furniture, and just about any other wood surface.

Enhances the natural beauty and depth of grain on finished *and* unfinished wood. For use on antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, wood doors and trim, etc.

Promising review: “Very impressed so far. Just tried this stuff on one of our kitchen cabinets and it really did a nice job. The cabinets are 15-year-old cherry-stained hard work cabinets (oak, maybe?) and are scratched deeply in certain parts from the previous owner’s dogs. 20 minutes after applying this product and wiping it off, I can’t complain at all about the results. It looks great in the picture, and even better in real life where you are not focusing on staring at imperfections. In addition to helping tremendously with the blemishes, it also leaves a nice glossy shine on the cabinets, making them look clean and fresh (not over the top glossy and fake). For the minimal price, I can’t complain at all. Finally, I used about a 1/3 of an ounce to do the 36″ double base cabinets and the 36″ wide drawer, so I believe the 16-oz bottle will last quite a while.” —Patrick Gallagher

10.

Try an oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Changed the oil on my girlfriend’s car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway…which I didn’t notice ’til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon and I thought, whatever. That’s one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don’t be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. ’til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well it broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it’s easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete so I can’t vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place.” —AmazonBob

11.

String up some (truly easy) under-cabinet lights to bring a modern touch to any outdated cabinets that you wish you could replace. This’ll instantly make your kitchen look *so* expensive.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I had my doubts but I thought, what the heck, for the price I’d give them a try. I am in real estate and known as a lighting snob. The first thing I look at in a kitchen if there is under cabinet lighting. These are so nice (it helps if you have a lip at the bottom of your cabinets) They are a true white, very bright, and I was lucky they were just the length I needed. I just ordered a set and had them shipped to my mom’s as her halogen transformer which is buried in a wall, fried and I drives me nuts that the workspace on the counter is dark. I can’t wait until I make the 250-mile drive to install them. I may buy more just to use at our listings!” —pauly

Get a 10′ strand with 60 lights from Amazon for $19.80 (available in white or warm white).

12. Defluff your upholstered surfaces with a reusable roller dog hair remover that might just have you toss your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one.

See the ChomChom roller in action on TikTok! 

And check out this ~glowing~ review from my colleague Jenae Sitzes: “The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I’ve been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet…a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn’t picking up hair. It’s important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you’ll just dump out the hair that’s been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.”

Hang up some fishing rod organizers for your garage door so you can actually park your car in there. Maybe even two! Can’t you just imagine the “before” montage of you walking through the maze of garage sports equipment?

Amazon

Hardware included for easy, no tool installation on standard garage doors. If the door is a hard insulated or wood door, self tapping screws are not included but can be shipped at no cost. Can also be installed on walls and ceilings. Give the inventor of these racks an award because they are damn clever!

Promising review: “I have to say I’m pissed that I didn’t come up with this idea first. Great product. It is a must-have if you fish and need space in the garage. Easy to install, works like a champ. I showed my neighbors and the reactions are all the same. OMG!!!!!” —David

Get them from Amazon for $35+ (available in two sizes).

14. String up waterproof globe lights for a big style impact when hung along your roofline, draped on outdoor structures like a pergola, or just strung up solo so you can enjoy the lights *and* the stars.

Reviewers note that you should remove the bulbs before stringing up the strands and then install the bulbs.

Promising review: “These lights were perfect for my patio, I’ve recieved plenty of compliments so far. The Edison light bulbs and beautiful and offer the perfect amount of lighting for any occasion…the clips were ideal for my eaves, the overhang of the roof, which made for simple installation…now just need to find a dimmer capable of handling the required wattage and the package will be complete.” —Brody Vins

Get a strand from Amazon for $13.28+ (available in five styles, six lengths, and packs of two).

15. And stake solar lights along a walkway or pond right where you need ’em. Lighting is key for getting more use out of your outdoor space. Oh, and they look nice in the daylight too!

Promising review: “Impressed with the size of the cell which provides a larger surface area for charging. The lights are the brightest I’ve seen for a solar light and the illumination covers a nice range. Placed them along my pond giving the place a classy look.” —Percussionist

Get six from Amazon for $19.99.

16. Put in a fresh new set of switch plates that’ll help ’em blend into those (hopefully!) freshly painted walls, even if the landlord painted the switch plates to match (YOU CAN STILL TELL). Can you screw in a screw? Then you can handle this transformative swap.Elizabeth Lilly

And if you’re especially petty, you can copy my move of saving said switch plates with a piece of marked duct tape so you know where you put ’em when you leave. This was one of the first things I did in my current apartment, thus rendering the switch plates barely noticeable — which is how I like them!

Get a 10-pack of plates for plugged outlets for $8.99+ (available in six colors) and a variety of switch plates from Amazon.

17.

And borrow a little air space above your go-to outlet with an outlet shelf *just* large enough for your electric toothbrush. If you’ve put on a regular outlet cover, you’ve got this!

Amanda / Amazon / Via amazon.com, Amazon Customer / Amazon / Via amazon.com

FYI, it installs like a regular outlet cover. Of course except with the wonderful shelf. Can also be installed so the shelf is below the outlet.

Promising review: “I absolutely love this thing! I have much less clutter on my sink thanks to this. If there’s anyone not sure if it will fit due to an object, all you need is 1.25 inches of space between the edge of your existing outlet plate and the piece of furniture. I have a GFCI with a standard wall plate.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors).

18.

Kick the blinds to the curb and get some privacy without the cord (it can be dangerous for kids and pets!) by applying a window film that’ll still let in SO much light. I did this to my bathroom window and congratulate myself for it every day.

amazon.com

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 then on this window to interrupt the view into the house. Worked perfectly! Very easy to use.” —Marsgard

Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in 11 sizes).

19. Up your curb appeal with a metal kick plate that’ll spiffy up your front door and catch all kinds of shoe prints and scuffs.Promising review: “It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. There is a layer of protective plastic film over the metal to keep it from getting scratched or damaged. It comes with matching screws. I pre-drilled the holes to make the installation easier. Easy upgrade project that can make your door more beautiful or is great for hiding damage.” —kmr

Use a bottle of leather conditioner to revive your leather goods *even* as large as a leather couch! Welcome to your next project while you catch up on the latest ep of your fave true-crime podcast!

Reviewers note that using this may darken the leather, so keep that in mind!

Promising review: “Excellent product! So happy I tried it! I wore kitchen gloves and smoothed a thin layer of the product all over the couch, instead of using the cloth. Went way faster and I didn’t waste product soaked up by the cloth.” —Kristie

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

21.

Remove all sorts of stubborn rings that’ve been staring at you every time you’re in the washroom using a pumice stone toilet bowl cleaner. Nope, you do NOT need a new toilet. Your OG just requires some zhuzhing.

amazon.com

Promising review: “OMG!!! It works!!! After having this toilet buildup I gave up on everything, but I saw that this product ‘worked’ and decided to give it a try… with a little elbow grease and some music blasting in the background I managed to remove it all!!! I can’t believe it. I’m so happy, I was so embarrassed when company came over and would see that, not no more… yay!!!” —Asdrubal Orantes

Get it from Amazon for $10.79.

22.

Cover up with interlocking teak tiles you don’t need tools to install. That concrete patio slab is older than you, but it doesn’t have to look that way.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Living in Hawaii you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc… In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!” —Adazzle

Distract from an unsightly lighting chain or cord with an electrical cord cover that’ll look like it’s just part of the decor.

Amazon

Promising review: “Easy to use, matches my wall color perfectly. Love the way it looks and how it hides my cords.” —Devron Wall 

Get it from Amazon for $20.17+ (available in 20 colors and packs of two).

25. Drastically shorten a chore with a no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can simply just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. 

Promising review: “This product is so easy to use. As you can see from the pictures, my bathtub was staying pretty good. The guy that owned the house before me used Ajax to clean it so it has almost no enamel left on it and it’s probably the staining and nothing could get it out until I bought this. After 4 8-hour applications you can see the difference. I highly recommend this to everybody and once it’s completely clean I’m gonna go on the once a week application. I actually bought another bottle for my dad and mom.” —Domenick R. Stamegna

Get a roll from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two roll sizes).

27.

Brighten an icky floor with a grout pen so you don’t have to stare at the stained grout and imagine what it used to look like. Grout takes up a teeny bit of space but, as you can see from the pics, makes a huge impact!

amazon.com

Promising review: “We moved into our new home, and the shower had a really yellow grout. Cleaning didn’t do anything, and I saw this grout pen online. What a saver! Otherwise, I would have just hired someone to replace my shower. I used this grout pen, and my husband was so impressed 😀 The tip loses its shape fast, but just pull out the TIP AND FLIPPED IT OVER, and you’ll have a new tip.” —jennifer

Use some stove burner covers to help you catch the mess right away on gas stovetops. Or just cover up some chipped or sorry-looking stovetops. (I live in a rental with a white gas stovetop that def has some unsightly chips on it, so I can relate!)

amazon.com, Amazon

Psst, as you can see above, this set also comes with a crumb catcher where your stovetop meets your countertop!

Promising review: “I’ve been using the foil ones and while they do the job, they’re not so nice to look at. I like that this is black so it matches the original color of the appliances, but more importantly I like that this has a larger surface area to catch the drips that the foil ones never could before. They’re also trim to fit, so they get right up into each burner without leaving gaps where drips can burn where it’s hardest to clean. Time will tell if they’re as durable/reusable as they claim. If they are, then I’ll try to trim two of the spares to fit the center large burner. Overall recommended.” —Michael

Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three sizes).

29. And tackle other chips and marks with a container of touch-up paint.

Promising review: “Rather than ditching furniture into a landfill, which is bad for the environment and one’s pocketbook, this product allows you to give new life to existing furniture. Between the Soto touchup and new handles, my entertainment center looks like new….for less than $35. If you can use liquid paper, you can use this. I just ordered another bottle for porcelain. This is a fantastic product. You will love it!” —LexiNYC

Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in four sizes and 24 colors).

Repair chips, dents, cracks, and other eyesores with a set of 50 wood fillers. Dog scratched up your hardwood floors? NBD.

amazon.com

Promising Review: “My partner and I recently bought a 140-year-old home with original wood floors and wood work throughout. We had the floors refinished to their original beauty, but the baseboards and stair risers were a challenge. They were pretty banged up over years of use, and, after the floors were redone, all the nicks and scratches just stood out that much more. Our floor guy tried staining them, but it wouldn’t take. The floors themselves took nine coats of stain because they were so old. The painter tried using pens from a well known paint company, but they didn’t work either. My partner found these and showed them to me. To our delight the pens worked incredibly well. It’s like a magic marker for wood. I’m still amazed how well they worked. I ordered two more packages because I didn’t want to run out. The pens last a long time. Our painter came back to do some minor touch ups, and I showed him what I used. He couldn’t believe it. He said he was going to buy them to keep in his arsenal, lol! I Love this product. Thank you so much for making them!” —Danielle Buckler

amazon.com

Promising review: “Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down, was able to fit them neatly in the holder. Liked it so much, going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed.” —Rob C.

Invest in an indoor-friendly hammock chair (you could also hang up on a covered patio) that’ll give hanging out a new meaning. Add a throw pillow and you’ll never want to leave.

amazon.com

“Roger, plz forward all my calls to the hammock.”

Promising review: “If I had to pick one product to stand by for all of eternity, it would be this swing. First of all, it’s darling. We could start and end with its Anthro- vibe alone. But those websites would sell it for an amount comparable to your mortgage and this little number is so ridiculously reasonable, it’s almost wasteful not to buy it. You can buy a pair and not be stuck slurping ramen for the rest of the month. Also, this swing is like therapy. But cheaper. Pop in some ear buds, hop in, close your eyes and swing. YPhone ringing? Kids yelling? House on fire? Whatever. You’re swinging.” —Sincerely Becca

Get it from Amazon for $64.99.

33. Address bare spots in your lawn with some dog spot repair to urge grass to start growing again. Promising review: “We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!” —Jessica N.

Use a standing weeder (without the chemicals!) to help improve your view of your yard. You’re not the only one who has trouble enjoying weed-filled scenery. And hey, while you’re weeding with this there’s no bending over! Your back will thank you.

amazon.com

Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy.

Promising review: “Oh my god, I friggin’ love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don’t think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled.” —JG

Get a night-light for your bed that’ll make you feel like you’re staying at a fancy hotel as you step around that pile of clothes that fell off “the chair” in the middle of the night.

Amazon

Promising review: “Great light strip. The motion sensor has a good range and then controls for time on and brightness are wonderful. The 3M tape on the back could be stronger, but for the price and motion sensor it is a great buy. Also we have this plugged into a smart outlet so that it only turns on during certain hours of the day. That plus the feature that is there is enough ambient light, the motion sensor doesn’t trigger makes this on par with systems that are far more expensive. Works great with Google home as well because of the linked smart plug. Very happy with the purchase. Would be 4.5 stars just because of the tape not being sticky enough, but they do provide a second roll in the box, which helps.” —AC

39. Fill and cover up unsightly holes with a drywall repair putty you can apply in a small circular motion before painting over it. Your security deposit just texted: “Hey, you up?”Amazon

Promising review: “Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use.” —Amanda

40. Transform a gross shower surround with a rust stain-removing gel. Lots of folks have gotten rinsed off sand and dirt in that shower this summer but it doesn’t have to feel that way.

Promising review: “I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn’t have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!” —Toni Huitt

41. Get rid of all the little paw and fingerprints that seem to magically appear out of thin air on your kitchen appliances with a stainless steel cleaner. 
Check it out in action on TikTok here!

The plant-based, lavender-scented cleaner comes with a microfiber cloth for you to use on your appliances, and reviewers say you only have to use a little bit of the cleaner to clean your entire fridge or oven, which means one bottle will last you a really long time.

Promising review: “The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn’t work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok, and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good and price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now my stainless-steel appliances look shiny and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend.” —diana

Promising review: “After reading the reviews I thought I could at least try it, and holy smokes, this is a miracle cleaner!!! I think I have tried every cleaner on the market for pet stains and nothing ever really works on my carpets. Even if I get it off the top, it somehow comes back up. My crazy dogs hate the rain and they have one spot that they always go on when they decide they are not going outside. I have cleaned the spot probably 100 times. I cleaned this area one time with this cleaner and my spot steam cleaner and it is completely gone! The stain and smell are 100% gone, not just covered up like before, completely and absolutely gone. Miracle cleaner for sure!” —PLLane

Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

Promising review: “I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of ‘pet stain/odor remover’ products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not house broken and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and more importantly the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!” —Shelley

44. Corral your boxes of food wrap and cutting boards in a cabinet door organizer.

Promising review: “This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I’ve been doing everything I can to make sure there’s a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it’s completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it’s great for renters and owners.” —Kerry

45. Or, if you prefer something that’s easier to wipe down, a plastic bag dispenser that’ll do the same thing for you. 

Check out a TikTok of the plastic bag dispenser in action. Psst — these come with optional sticker labels so you know which size bag you’re grabbing!

Promising review: “I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot.” —Amazon Customer

46. Move stuff from “the chair” to a genius T-shirt roll holder that’ll create some storage out of seemingly thin air. Perhaps now you’ll actually be able to find the remaining T-shirts in that drawer.Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

The Roll Keeper is owned by Kelso, Washington’s resident crafter, Traci. Traci has been crafting for over 40 years and created her storage design to help organize vinyl, soon realizing that it was the perfect organization solution for much more. Her shop has versions for bottles, wrapping paper, pens, and more. Don’t miss checking out this small business!

My colleague Mallory Mower owns this and loves it: 

“Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn’t have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I’ve purchased an Etsy product from!”

Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $15.29 (originally $17.99).
