Life is messy, and therefore kitchens and cars and closets and bathrooms and everything else are messy too. While we all wish we could have perfectly organized homes, it just doesn’t seem to work out that way.
Even when we buckle down and do some much-needed cleaning, it just doesn’t seem like everything has a place. Inevitably, things end up in random locations. Then you can’t find them, you finally find them, you still don’t have somewhere to put them, and they end up in another random location, so the cycle continues.
It’s time to get your life together, which means giving everything that seemingly has no place a designated spot. Fortunately, Amazon has organizational items for pretty much everything you can imagine. That perfectly organized home could be just a couple of clicks away!

1. Use this counter display to beautifully lay out your array of nail colors.

Throwing your nail polish in a bin under your sink seems like an okay storage option, but sifting through it to find the color you’re looking for? Not ideal.

2. Take your K-Cups out of those clunky boxes and put them in this sleek drawer instead.

K-Cups are a lifeline for heavy coffee drinkers, so they should be treated with care. This drawer will be the lovely home they deserve.

3. This is the perfect way to display your plethora of mugs.

Most homes have way too many mugs for the amount of available cabinet space, but it’s hard to part ways with our favorite drinkware. These bronzed hooks neatly hang all of your mugs under a shelf or cabinet. Now you don’t have to feel bad about all the cute mugs you’ve impulse bought, and you don’t have to stress when someone gifts you yet another mug.

4. Keep your false lashes nice and neat in this handy box.

With the recent surge in “full glam” makeup, false lashes continue to grow in popularity. They’re gorgeous when they’re on, but they’re also small and dainty, so once you take them off, they can get lost anywhere. For hygiene purposes and so that you get enough wears out of each pair, people who wear false lashes should really invest in a storage space for them. Fortunately, Amazon has you covered.

5. Keep your cords in line with these clips.

Everyone has so many tech products that their cords quickly become tangled, making desk space a disaster. Not with these cable clips, though. They’re an easy way to keep chargers, headphones, and all your other cords and cables securely in place.

6. The perfect place for all of your heated styling products.

You’re in a rush to get out of the house, but your curling iron is still hot. You can’t wait for it to cool down and you don’t want to leave it out. That’s where this basket comes in. It safely holds your styling tools, hot or cold.

7. This stand will keep your beauty sponge clean and dry.

Beauty blenders get gross enough without the excess product that gets on them when they sit in your makeup bag. And if you’re a germophobe, we don’t recommend looking at videos where people cut open their old, nasty beauty blenders. It’s not good.

8. Clean up your underwear drawer once and for all.

Socks and underwear are notoriously difficult to keep tidy, hence that drawer is usually a disaster. This honeycomb organizer will solve all your underwear drawer woes so you don’t have to hunt around for the specific pair you’re looking for anymore.

9. There’s a better place for all of those grocery bags stuffed under your sink.

Everyone should do their part to be environmentally conscious, which means stashing their plastic bags to use later rather than throwing them away.

10. This is the organizer that every aspiring beauty guru needs.

If you’re sick of digging through your makeup bag or you’re just overwhelmed by how messy your bathroom counter is getting, maybe it’s time to consider a different way to store your makeup. This makeup organizer from Amazon could be the solution you’re looking for.  

11. If your spices are all over the place, it’s time to get this spice rack.

If you’re keeping all your spices on a random shelf in your pantry, you’ve probably had the experience of hunting all over for the one spice you need only to have to leave it out of a recipe because you couldn’t find it.

12. This pan organizer will keep your cookware in line, literally.

When the drawer under the stove just isn’t cutting it, this pan and pot lid organizer will help. You can set it up vertically or horizontally, depending on what kind of space you’re working with, then just slide in whatever pans and lids you want to store.

13. A place to put your vitamins and supplements.

Between all the vitamins, prescriptions, and over-the-counter meds, medicine bottles can take up a lot of space, but these products aren’t exactly something we can just get rid of. One medicine cabinet might be enough, but it’s usually not (and some bathrooms don’t even have one to begin with).

14. Yes, you should organize your mops and brooms.

It only makes sense that the tools you use to clean your house are stored in a tidy way. This mop and broom holder will keep everything upright and in place—no more leaning things up precariously in a sad corner.

15. There’s a new way to organize and display your sunglasses collection.

Sunglasses notoriously either break or get lost, which sucks because they’re also a super fashionable and functional accessory. This sunglasses organizer will prevent both of those scenarios.

16. Keep all your clips, ponytail holders, and bobby pins stored and separated.

Do you just throw ponytail holders in a plastic bag? Not cute and not functional. What about bobby pins (which always seem to run out, even though you buy them in packs of 300)? We might not be able to save all the bobby pins and hair ties, but we can at least try to minimize our losses.

17. Untangle your necklaces once and for all.

Putting dainty necklace in a jewelry box just does not work. You’re pretty much guaranteeing they’ll become super tangled up, potentially to a point of no return. That’s a real bummer, especially if they’re sentimental or expensive necklaces, which a lot of dainty ones are.

18. We’ve got a storage solution for all your undergarments.

If your dresser is just a complete mess, this set has spaces for all of those small items that are difficult to organize.

19. Too many teas? Organize them!

Tea tins can be cute and all, but throwing a bunch of teas in there doesn’t make it easy to find the specific tea you’re looking for. As fun as it is to root through a tin to find your decaffeinated green tea, there’s a better option for tea storage.

20. Finally, find a home for your LaCroix.

Soda can boxes can mess up the whole aesthetic of a fridge, plus they’re just not that functional. They never open as advertised, and it’s hard to tell how many you have left.

21. You’ll love these adorable jars for cotton balls, Q-tips, and whatever other little items are in your bathroom.

All of the itty-bitty items in bathrooms make organization quite difficult. Apothecary jar sets like these simplify storing those small bathroom necessities. Pick the finish that matches your bathroom best, then fill them up with whatever you want.

22. Stack all of your makeup palettes with ease.

Makeup palettes often don’t fit in cosmetic bags, so do you just leave them out on your vanity or sink? No! You probably spent some serious coin on those, and they should be treated with care. With new palettes dropping all the time, you need lots of space too, because you shouldn’t have to pass on the next Urban Decay Naked palette if you really want it.

23. Keep all of your belts in one place.

Belts are one of those clothing items that don’t have obvious storage place (until you buy this belt hanger, that is).

24. Replace your old hamper with this color-separating option.

It can be tempting not to separate our laundry when we’re feeling lazy—even more so when it’s in a big pile in a hamper. Really though, we should always be keeping our lights, darks, and whites away from each other in the wash, and we always regret not doing it when our clothes get ruined.

25. Give your boots their own space.

Boots take up a lot of space (too much space), and you can’t set them on a standard shoe rack. If you’ve got a decent amount of tall boots, it’s probably time to invest in a boot organizer.

26. Tidy up your shower with an easy-to-install corner caddy.

Showers usually have more than just shampoo, conditioner, and body wash—there are razors, loofahs, exfoliators, shaving cream, and whatever other special products you like. No one’s criticizing a thorough self-care routine, but if you are working with a lot of different products, you should find a way to keep it all organized.

27. There’s a better way to store stud earrings.

Stud earrings don’t store well in standard jewelry boxes. How many times have you lost one of the earrings? And the backs go missing all the time. Seriously, it’s like socks in the wash.

28. We’ve found a desktop alternative to buying a filing cabinet.

Storing and organizing important documents is, well, important. Not everyone’s desk has a file drawer, and who really wants to buy an entire filing cabinet for your house? It’s a home—not a business office.

29. Clean up your junk drawer with this impressive organizer.

The thing about junk drawers is that there usually is some pretty essential stuff in there. Pens, stamps, tape, Post-It notes…most people use all of those things. It’s only called a junk drawer because it’s unbearably messy, so fix that problem with this compartmentalized bamboo storage tray.

30. Don’t lose another lid ever again.

Food storage containers are great because we all love leftovers. Every home usually has a nice stockpile of them, but they’re pretty useless without lids, which go missing far too often.

31. We’ve found the fruit bowl of your dreams.

A standard fruit bowl can quickly become overfull, even if it has one of those nifty banana hooks. Rather than pile all your apples, peaches, oranges, and whatever else in one spot, risking a fatal roll out, try this two-tier system.

32. When you have way too many baseball caps, this rack is a must.

Baseball caps are fun, easy accessories, especially when you’re having a bad hair day. When you have a lot of them, they need their own space. This handy rack will hold and display your baseball caps so you can keep them neat and show off the teams, schools, brands, and whatever else you support.

33. Here’s your closet-friendly shoe storage solution.

Shoe racks are great, but they take up a lot of space in a closet or hallway. Plus, if you have a lot of shoes, you probably don’t want to buy a bunch of racks to fit them all. To maximize your closet space, opt for a hanging shoe organizer.

34. Store things under the bed the right way.

Shoving things that don’t seem to have a place under the bed is a classic lazy-person move, but it’s actually not a bad idea. What else is that space being used for? But there’s a difference between shoving trash or loose items under there and using the space under the bed properly. Your best bet is to buy some storage containers specifically designed to fit under the bed.

35. Gather up your remotes and put them all in this one location.

Remote controls aren’t like they were back in the day. Now, there’s a remote for everything: TV, cable, Blue-ray, Apple TV, Roku, the list goes on. Amazon can’t help you figure out which remote goes with what and how to use them all, but there are products you can buy to at least make sure you don’t lose them under your couch cushions.

36. Give your trunk space some structure with this storage solution.

It’s never great to hear miscellaneous objects rolling around in your trunk. No one wants their apples bruised or their milk to bust open, and plastic bags don’t exactly keep everything locked in. This trunk organizer will, though.  

37. Keep your keys on this rack so you always know where they are.

Losing car keys is an unnecessary but preventable pain, so make a designated spot in your house for them. A simple wall mount with hooks does the trick, so everyone can put their keys there as they’re coming and going.

38. When you have this sink caddy, cleaning dishes doesn’t have to be any more annoying than it already is.

Washing dishes is a dreaded chore, but what makes it even worse is the messy sponges and scrubbers dripping food residue and soap everywhere.

39. Use one product to sort out your entire nighttime routine.

Keep this sleek storage box on your bathroom sink and put everything you need all in one place.

40. This set of bins’ll make your fridge nice and neat.

If you have a mostly empty fridge, this might not be necessary. But for those who like to keep theirs fully stocked, buying this organization pack could do wonders for you. They’re stackable, so they’ll maximize the space in your fridge without you having to insert other shelves or buy a bigger fridge.

Every home has those spots that never seem to get clean. Maybe it’s the grimy back corner of a cluttered kitchen cabinet, chronically dusty blinds or air vents, the splattered bottom of a trash can, or a mineral-clogged bathroom faucet. No judgement—these are some seriously stubborn areas that take special tools to get the job done.
Fortunately, Amazon is chock-full of all kinds of cleaning supplies that are as clever as they are effective. We decided to round up a bunch of the best cleaning products on Amazon so you can make every last nook and cranny sparkle—once and for all.

1. The Stinky Athlete’s Best Friend

Let’s face it: Sweat stinks. Whether you’re a yogi, you’ve got kids in football, or your partner’s dedicated to hitting the gym on the daily, chances are good that you’ve got pungent gear lying around your home.

2. The Sponge for Your Extreme Cleaning Needs

Your standard dish sponge can go a long way toward keeping your home tidy, but it might not be up to the challenge of the toughest jobs around your home. Enter the DishFish GoFish Power Scrubber: A powerful blue sponge designed specifically for challenging cleaning tasks.

3. The Spray That Cleans As Well As It Smells

Reviewers aren’t sure what quality of the Mangiacotti Lemon Verbena Natural Surface Cleaner they love more: Its glorious lemon verbena fragrance or its ability to safely clean fragile surfaces.

4. Goo That De-Gunks Your Keyboards

Got crumbs in your keyboard? Dust in your vents? Dirt in your cup holders? Nothing’s more annoying than getting the debris out of all these hard-to-clean places, but Tech Candy Tech Taffy Cleaning Slime can help you grab even the finest specks from the tightest crevices.

5. Keep Your Toilet Cleaner for Longer

No one likes cleaning their toilet. But after you clean it, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to keep it clean, without breaking out the scrub brush? Fortunately, there is: The Forever BLUE Flush Toilet Cleaner Booster.

6. A Magic Mushroom That Prevents Clogs

A clogged drain can be a dirty nightmare to deal with. (And let’s not even talk about the cost of emergency plumbing!) Prevent back-ups from happening again with the TubShroom Tub Drain Protector.

7. Banish Pet Odors From Your Upholstery

We love our pets… but their messes, well, not so much. While it’s pretty easy to clean up their little spills and accidents, the odors our four-legged friends leave tend to linger. Fortunately, Febreze FABRIC Refresher Pet Odor Eliminator gives animal stench the one-two punch. Spray it wherever your pup hangs out, like the carpet, couch, or bed.

8. The Vacuum Your Garage Needs

When it comes to cleaning your home, the garage presents a special set of challenges. You might have dangerous chemicals to deal with, debris that your broom can’t handle, and clutter that makes navigation difficult. Dealing with messes in the garage gets a lot easier, though, with the Vacmaster Wet/Dry Vacuum.

9. The Best Way to Clean Venetian Blinds

Some spots around the home are just so tedious to clean, we don’t even bother trying. (I’m looking at you, venetian blinds and ceiling fans.) But the E-Cloth High Performance Dusting Glove is a complete game changer when it comes to wiping dust from hard-to-reach places. Slip on the glove and start cleaning between the blinds or the tops of fans.

10. The Classic Spray That Still Works Wonders

Nothing beats a robust, versatile cleaning spray like Clorox Clean-Up Bleach Cleaner Spray when it comes to tackling stubbornly dirty areas. The company has spent decades creating a powerful formula that can disinfect and clean bath stains, greasy stoves, grimy refrigerators, splotchy shower doors, dirty tiles, and just about any other mess in your home.

11. A Scrubber Approved by the Sharks

Scrub Daddy is one of the most successful “Shark Tank” products, and for good reason: The cellulose scrubbing sponge can clean almost anything. Don’t be fooled by its cute, smiling face—this sponge is a cleaning demon that does the difficult work of scrubbing crust off pots and pans, lifting mystery stains from floors, even cleansing dirty fingertips.

12. Stains Are No Match for This Eraser

Has a stain ever seemed so embedded into a surface, you’ve just learned to live with it? Don’t give up hope yet. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers somehow expunge even deep-set stains you thought were permanent.

13. A Mop Made for Modern Hands

Cleaning the floors used to be a dirty job that left your back aching and your hands pruny. Not anymore—the O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop and Bucket Floor Cleaning System has an innovative design that allows you to wring out the mop without bending down or using your hands.

14. Swipe away unsightly streaks with this squeegee.

Streaks and spots on windows and mirrors can make your home look dirty, even if you’ve just cleaned it. The OXO Good Grips All-Purpose Squeegee helps you wipe away those smudges right out of the surfaces you look at most.

15. Make your stainless steel appliances look showroom-ready.

Stainless steel appliances give kitchens a contemporary atmosphere fit for the 21st century. But anyone who has them knows what a struggle it is to keep them free from smudges. Fortunately, Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaning Wipes are here to help.

16. A Brush That Belongs in Your Cleaning Toolbox

A high-quality scrub brush is essential to any neat freak’s toolbox. If you’re still looking for one, give this pair of Amazer Dish Brush Kitchen Scrub Brushes a try. At its most conventional level, the scrub brushes make doing dishes a breeze.

17. Keep your reusable straws clean and sanitary.

So, you decided to go green with your drinks, swapping disposable cups and bottles for reusable vessels and sipping out of a sustainable straw instead of those single-use ones. Bravo!

18. A Multi-Talented Machine With the Power of Steam

Chemicals aren’t the only thing you can use to sanitize your home. A steam cleaner also has the power to kill bacteria on tons of surfaces, solely with the power of (you guessed it!) steam. The McCulloch MC1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner comes with 18 accessories that you can use to pump steam over large surface areas, onto greasy oven doors, through upholstery, and onto patio furniture.

19. Watch out—this cutlery cleaner bites.

Your forks and knives may look clean after you wash them, but they can actually get pretty cruddy after a while. If it’s time to give your silverware a little extra attention, break out the Joseph Joseph BladeBrush Knife and Cutlery Cleaner Brush.

20. Mama melts away microwave messes.

If you thought cleaning the microwave had to be a drag, think again: The Home-X Steam’n Mama Microwave Cleaner not only makes it easier to clean this quick-cook appliance, it’s downright fun to use.

21. Tackle the tiniest grooves with this brush.

No matter how much elbow grease you put into a cleaning project, you’ll never get something spotless if you’re using the wrong size brush. Places like tile grout, wall molding, window seams, and utility room fixtures can finally get the attention they deserve with the QANGEL Tile Joint Cleaning Brush.

22. Make carpet stains disappear.

Whether it’s a spilled glass of wine, a splash of coffee, a pet mess, or even a pen that leaked ink, accidents happen—and so do carpet stains. It feels hopeless when they occur, but fear not: Folex Carpet Spot Remover can help clean soil from your carpet.

23. Get rid of gross goo.

Gooey problems can cause serious headaches when you’re cleaning your home. How do you even tackle decal residue on a window, chewing gum dried on a floor, or a forgotten layer of thick grease on a stovetop? Goo Gone, that’s how.

24. Yes, you can clean your cast iron pan.

True cookware aficionados say you should never clean your cast iron pan with soap. But c’mon—you cook with that thing all the time and it could probably use a scrubbing once in a while.

25. A Different Kind of Grill Master

Between the baked-on crud and the surface area of the grates, ovens and grills are notoriously difficult to clean. It’s not even worth trying without a product that’s made for the job. Lucky for you, the Krud Kutter Oven & Grill Cleaner provides a cleansing foam that easily coats every surface of these appliances and penetrates deep into grime.

26. Your Kitchen Faucet’s New Best Friend

Some of the grungiest areas of the house are hidden in plain sight. Take a peek under your faucet, for example. You’re bound to see mineral build-up and particles lurking from the very place you go for a glass of water.

27. Breathe new life into old white fabrics.

Remember how crisp your white sheets, towels, and T-shirts looked when you first bought them? You may not have noticed it, but their color has probably dulled with use.

28. Compressed air’s not just for your office.

You probably have a few cans of compressed air, such as Blow Off General Purpose Compressed Air, lying around your office. But here’s why you might want to pick up some cans to have at home: This stuff works wonders on keeping dust off your sensitive electronics and delicate valuables.

29. Ditch your ladder and clean top-floor windows with this.

Be honest: When’s the last time you cleaned the windows on the upper floors of your home? If it’s been awhile, we can’t blame you—it requires a dangerous, exhausting climb up a ladder and usually ends up taking all day long. But there’s another way to get these windows clean: The Fuller BrushWindow Cleaner.

30. The Smartest Steam Cleaner Around

Upholstery and carpets aren’t the only things that can be cleaned with steam. You can now clean your hard floors with the Sienna Luna Plus Steam Cleaning System.

31. Break out the drill.

Your new favorite cleaning tool is probably already waiting for you in your garage. It’s your drill, which transforms into the toughest bathroom cleaner you’ve ever held, with the help of the Drillbrush All-Purpose Power Scrubber Cleaning Kit. Attach one of the brush heads to the end of the drill and use it to take your scrubbing to the next level.

32. Clean Hands, Even in Dirty Jobs

Rubber gloves aren’t just for people looking to protect their manicures (although there’s certainly nothing wrong with that!). They’re also essential for the savvy cleaner who wants to really get in there and get the job done, no holds barred. These Playtex Reusable Rubber Gloves will help you do just that.

33. Robotic Controlled Window Cleaner

The cleaning product of the future has arrived. It’s the Alfawise Window Cleaner Robot, and it’s a pretty cool gadget. This robotic brush sticks to your window with a magnet, then crawls all around the surface, using two spinning brush heads to buff away dirt and dust.

34. Show your dishwasher a little love.

Anywhere water is standing or heating is susceptible to mineral build-up. That’s why it’s important to give all your appliances, including the dishwasher, a good cleaning from time to time.

35. Make your washing machine run like new again.

Speaking of appliances that need to be cleaned, don’t forget about your washing machine. The residue from detergent can clog it if you don’t get rid of it regularly. Dropping in a tablet of Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner will do the trick in a jiffy.

36. A Vinegar That’s Not for Your Salad

Vinegar is a favorite cleaning ingredient among people who want a strong, versatile scrubbing agent that’s derived from natural sources. But rather than reaching for the standard apple cider vinegar in your kitchen cabinet, why not go for something a bit more intense, like the Green Gobbler Ultimate Vinegar Home & Garden Concentrate?

37. The Tool You Need for a Clean, Sparkling Bowl

Want to really make your toilet sparkle? Ditch your old-school toilet brush and switch to the Scotch-Brite Disposable Toilet Scrubber Cleaning System.

38. The Earth-Friendly Way to Deal With Pet Hair

A lint roller is a pet owner’s most trusted cleaning tool, but disposing of all that sticky paper isn’t so gentle on the earth—or your wallet. Why not switch to a one-and-done solution, like the Sticky Buddy Reusable Lint Roller? It picks up crumbs, hair, dust, and other particles from all kinds of fabric.

If the minimalist lifestyle has always appealed to you and the concept of living in a tiny house piques your interest, we’re here to help you explore your options.
You can actually purchase buildings on Amazon that can be converted into the small, simple living spaces we’ve come to call “tiny houses,” but there’s more to a tiny house than just the building. Strategic planning of furniture, storage, and decor is a must. Here’s everything you need to get started in style on your little big adventure—and turn that tiny house into a tiny home.

If you appreciate indoor plumbing as much as we do, be prepared to put forth a little extra elbow grease. Most of these buildings will require self-setup of electricity, plumbing, and insulation.

Tiny Buildings to Call Home

1. For the Eager Adventurer

The Allwood Pioneer cabin will make the perfect first tiny home for those eager to get it built and start furnishing and decorating. Setup only takes a few days, and although this tiny home is especially tiny at 171 square feet (about 19 feet long and 9 feet wide), it has a lot to offer when it comes to aesthetics.

2. For the True Minimalist

Although the DuraMAX Flat Top Insulated Building appears industrial and plain at first glance, it can be painted with any paint that adheres to vinyl to make it feel a bit more like (tiny) home. At 13 by 10 feet, it is for the true minimalist who is ready to make some real sacrifices in the name of simplicity.

3. For Those Hesitant to Commit

The Allwood Mayflower looks like what I imagine the little house on the prairie looked like. Its wagon-inspired structure gives this tiny house on wheels a beautifully unique style that would be perfect to put in a large garden or meadow if you have a little extra property.

4. For Those Who Like Their Space

At 209 square feet, the Allwood Claudia model is a little more spacious than most other truly tiny options. The front and back walls are a little over 7 feet tall, and the ridge of the roof offers more space in the middle at a height of almost 12 feet.

5. For Those Who Want (Remote) Control

The Weizhengheng expandable flat pack prefab module container house with solar energy is like a house from the future. The house expands and folds automatically with a hydraulic system via the click of a remote—and it comes fully furnished with a bathroom (shower and toilet), kitchen, bedroom, dining table, and air conditioner. Plus, it’s solar powered.

6. For the Contemporary Artist

Not everyone wants to put their tiny house in the middle of the woods somewhere far, far away from civilization, and this tiny house would look perfectly at home in any contemporary urban setting.

7. For the Ultimate Party Host

The Allwood Bella cabin has a covered patio area off the front that is just the right size for a few pieces of patio furniture such as a table and chairs or a porch swing. This is the tiny house to invest in if you love to entertain guests.

8. For the Minimalist on the Move

The Cozumel APH-536 tiny home is like an upscale tiny house and an RV combined. These 399 beautiful square feet include a covered front porch, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom—and unlike the other options, plenty of storage space is included.

9. For the Extravagance-Seeking Adventurer

The Allwood Eagle Vista cabin has more space than any of the other options, with an impressive 1,336 square feet. Ready to be even more impressed?

10. For Those Who Are Ready for Anything

This Weizhengheng expandable container house with solar energy is made with galvanized steel to protect against strong elements. It’s also waterproof, fireproof, wind-resistant up to level-11 winds, and anti-seismic up to level-9 quakes.

What to Put in Your Tiny Home: The Necessities

1. Energize your home in an earth-conscious way.

Tiny houses are more than just cute. They’re good for the planet! So take it a step further and save on electricity with a solar-powered system.

2. Stay cool while staying green.

Depending on where you plop down your tiny house, a fan might be a must.

3. Store things in style.

Finding adequate storage space in your tiny home may take quite a bit of planning, and if your house doesn’t have a built-in loft, a lofted bed platform could provide a lot of extra space beneath it.

4. Shrink your stove.

Minimalism is great, but it’s not a reason to sacrifice good food. There are ways to get a full-kitchen feel in a miniature way.

5. And make room for baked goods!

Don’t assume that tiny-house life means you have to abandon delicious oven-baked meals, either. Yes, there is a miniature of everything, including an oven.

6. Keep your drinks cool.

You might not be able to store a week’s worth of old takeout in a compact fridge, but it’s perfect for keeping drinks, condiments, and cooking ingredients cold in a tiny home.

7. Get some collapsible cookware.

These collapsible cooking pots are a brilliant investment for anyone trying to save space.

8. Invest in this versatile cooker.

This multi-functional pressure cooker is perfect for the tiny-homer who wants to declutter without skimping on variety when it comes to mealtime. The Cosori pressure cooker is 6 quarts, which makes it perfect for cooking for one and having plenty of leftovers or cooking for up to six people.

9. Get hooked.

Hanging things up will be your new go-to for any kind of storage. Coats, sweaters, pots, pans, towels, measuring cups, bags, and more can all be hung from the walls to avoid taking up floor space and cluttering your home.

10. Make space for everything you need.

Hanging organizers will be a lifesaver for keeping all your items sorted while taking up minimal space in your tiny home.

11. Store things on the walls with magnets.

Magnetic tape is a great option for easy, organized storage that doesn’t take up a lot of space. Put a strip by the bathroom sink and stick scissors, nail clippers, tweezers, and any other metal objects to it to keep them from taking up space. Place a strip in the kitchen and cut off pieces to adhere to dish soap, sponges, and cooking utensils.

12. Don’t let your waste go to waste.

Of course, your home needs a toilet—and you might as well give back to the planet what you take from it!

13. Shower simply.

While you may want to install a full shower in your tiny house, the space or your budget might not allow for it in all cases. Luckily, a portable shower is a great option.

Now Make It Cute: Things to Decorate Your Tiny House

1. Don’t forget your furry friends!

Hanging things are your best friend in a tiny house—the more floor space you can free up, the better.

2. Store things mindfully.

Furniture in your tiny home will need to be kept at a minimum, so the furniture you do have should double as storage space, too.

3. Add some greenery.

Having a place with little space doesn’t mean sacrificing style. It just means being more mindful of it.

4. Revert to the classic Mason jar.

Perfect for storing bathroom or kitchen items, these wall-mounted, rustic chic Mason jars can add little touches of charm all over the walls without taking up much room.

5. Lighten up the place.

These solar-powered globe lights offer a fun and comfortable feel to any space, and the solar-power panel is easy to install.

6. Dine in style.

Most dining tables are big and bulky, but this simple circular design will fit right into any space. Add a cute vase with fresh flowers in the center for a truly home-like feel.

7. Get chairs that fit under your dining table.

Small chairs that fit easily under your dining table are a must for saving space.

8. Add the illusion of space with lots of mirrors.

Mirrors can make any space feel bigger, so invest in several large mirrors for each wall of your tiny home.

9. Make things cozy with plenty of blankets.

The most important thing about your tiny home is that you feel comfortable in it! Throw blankets are an easy way to add a super comfy and cozy feel to your home.

10. Pillows contribute to the cozy factor, too.

Same goes with pillows—you just can’t have too many. These corduroy throw pillow covers come in many different colors.

11. Keep your toes warm with area rugs.

No one likes a cold, hard floor under their feet in the morning. Area rugs are necessary for warm, happy toes, and they can add brilliant flashes of color or subtle notes of texture to the different spaces of your tiny home.

12. Maintain your privacy in any space with curtains.

The best tiny houses have lots of windows for ample natural light, but the more you can see out, the more others can see in.

13. Keep spaces bright and lively with this rustic light fixture.

Floor lamps will likely take up too much space in your tiny home, so hanging light fixtures are ideal.

14. Add cozy simplicity with floor chairs.

Furnishing your tiny home doesn’t have to be complicated! Floor chairs like this one are essentially bean bags for adults, and remember how much fun those were when you were little?

15. Get minimalistic, chic storage or displays with these easily installed wall shelves.

These wall shelves are about as simple as it can get. You can use them as bookshelves to keep your favorite reads or display favorite photos and knickknacks on them.

16. Keep your most treasured items in a closed case.

Reminiscent of our grandmother’s china cabinets, this wall-mounted storage fixture can keep your most prized items dirt- and dust-free while still displaying them beautifully for all to admire.

17. Divide large spaces or bathroom areas with privacy curtains instead of walls to save space.

Walls can be installed in tiny homes to create separate rooms, but privacy curtains can be used to partition certain areas as well.

Around the Outside

1. Get some extra friends!

If you’ve got ample land around your tiny house, why not invest in a new hobby and some new pals?

2. Keep your surrounding areas green.

If you love plants, flowers, and nature in general, consider getting a small portable greenhouse to put outside your tiny house.

3. And, finally, relax.

Ta-da, you’ve reached the end! Everything you need to start your own tiny-house adventure is just a click away, and then it will be smooth sailing forever. Easy, right? Well…maybe not quite.
