55 weird hacks that make your home way bougier

This extra-large silicone stove cover may look a little odd at first, but it’s one of those weird things that ends up being oh-so useful. It protects electric and glass-top stoves from scratches, spills, and stains, and gives you a whole new prep surface when you’re low on counter space. The raised ridges mean it doubles as a waterproof drying mat for dishes and produce, and it even works as a heat-resistant trivet for hot pots (up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit). (Just don’t use it while the stove is on, obviously.)

This toaster almost looks too tiny to be real, but it’s able to slip into the smallest corners of your kitchen and can still handle bagels. The best part? The crumb tray slides right out for an easy cleanup, and the cord-wrapping feature keeps counters looking clean instead of chaotic. As one shopper wrote, “This toaster is exactly what I needed! Its slim design fit perfectly between my air fryer and cookie jar. As a bonus, it also perfectly toasts bread, pastries, breakfast items, etc. This item was a great value for the price.”

These foaming descaler tablets are essentially no-effort, deep-cleaning pods for your laundry machine.

It’s a surprisingly great little hack that’ll keep your washer (and your clothes) smelling clean with hardly any effort.

This coffee mat is just the thing you need to keep your coffee station looking spotless. The stain-hiding surface camouflages drips, splashes, and those “I’ll wipe it up later” spots, while the super absorbent diatomite layer underneath slurps up spills instantly so nothing spreads or seeps under your machine. One shopper called it an “essential” writing, “The size is just right for dishes and glassware, and it’s easy to wash and reuse. A simple kitchen essential that works perfectly!”

If you’re constantly losing your sunglasses (same), this wall-mounted organizer will keep your go-to pairs in one spot. Each wooden rack holds five sunglasses — and since you get three in an order, that’s room for 15 pairs without eating up any table or drawer space. The leather loops are spaced out enough for oversized frames, too, so your big sunnies won’t get squished. Hang one by the door, in your closet, or anywhere you tend to dump your shades.

This might be one of the weirdest upgrades on the list, but it’s also one of the most fun.

The set comes with two metallic ceramic bird covers plus four classic bolt caps, so you get both function and a fun design moment.

If you’ve ever dropped your phone between your mattress and headboard or lost a pillow to the abyss, this bed wedge is the little fix that'll make your bed feel more put together and functional.

What makes it even better are the built-in side pockets for storage and the soft cover that zips off for easy washing.

This tiny motion-sensor LED light is here to make fumbling with your keys a thing of the past.

Just stick it in place with the included adhesive tape.

This absorbent faucet mat stops water from pooling on your counter, meaning you don’t have to deal with a soggy cloth every day.

Water dries up almost instantly so no more unsightly pieces of paper towels. It was an instant upgrade to my kitchen sink area.”

These crocheted towel holders are made with soft cotton yarn and complete with beechwood rings, so instead of half-fallen towels slipping off your oven handle, you get a secure little loop that actually keeps them in place.

This outlet concealer is one of those “why didn’t I buy this sooner?” fixes that makes any room look cleaner. It sits flat against the wall and features a slim extension cord and a mini power strip you can tuck anywhere.

These magnetic spice racks stick to basically any metal surface, meaning you've suddenly got a whole new storage space for spices, oils, coffee syrups, pet treats, whatever you need.

This peel-and-stick floor transition strip is one of those very specific fixes that ends up being exactly what you need. If you’ve got an awkward gap between two flooring materials — tile to wood, carpet to laminate, kitchen to living room — this flexible vinyl strip covers it. The material is surprisingly durable (scratch resistant, dirt resistant, easy to wipe clean), and the adhesive is strong enough to stay put as long as the floor is dry.

If your doorbell chime box is one of those random eyesores builders slap on a wall, this cover is the easiest aesthetic fix. It slips over your existing chime, making your entryway look more intentional. One shopper appreciated the upgrade, writing, “I just moved to a new home whose door chime box was missing so I bought this. It fits most standard chimes, and I didn’t even have to make a hole in the wall [...] it just rests on top of the chime. The box is sturdy and well cut, sanded, and painted.”

These clear silicone furniture leg protectors are practically invisible and super effective.

This skinny little cabinet, technically a toilet paper stand, looks almost too narrow to be useful, which is exactly why it’s such a great bathroom hack.

These linen-covered faux books look like chic decor (the gold lettering and the neutral tones give them a very designer home tour vibe), but they’re actually storage boxes in disguise.

They stack well and blend in with almost any aesthetic.
