While statement pieces of furniture or art are impressive, nothing beats style by way of mundane, everyday objects. These items are the unsung heroes of interior design, quietly shaping the ambiance and emotions within your home. It’s those little details that often elevate a space from ordinary to extraordinary.

So, if you’re eager to infuse your home with that extra dose of style, where form and function work together, let’s explore some recommended products that not only look fantastic but also bring warmth and personality to your living environment.

For Pets

I am a pet parent of three adorable, naughty, and sometimes crabby kitties. On most days, I love Charlotte, Bella, and Nico more than I do most people. Also on most days, I hate cleaning their litter box with a passion. (We had multiple boxes but they all used the same one, so here we are.)

Until such time as the Litter Robot becomes a permanent fixture in our home, I have upgraded their box to the Modkat Flip Litter Box Kit, which comes with a scoop and a reusable tarp liner. I love that it has a mid-century look with its clean lines, that it uses reusable liners, and that you can easily access the litter because the top flips open. The litter box is available at Amazon for under $90.

I also decided to address their not drinking enough water by upgrading from a plain bowl to the wireless uahpet Cat Water Fountain. I have one next to their food bowls and one in my bedroom because you already know they spend a lot of time there. (And outside the bathroom door and under my desk, and anywhere I am.) The fountain can go 10 days without refilling, is BPA-free, and runs for $35.

For the Bathroom

The water pressure in our main bathroom shower was really terrible, making for some very disappointing showers. Enter the Pavezo Handheld High-Pressure Shower Head, which has definitely elevated our shower experience. Installation requires no special tools, making it very renter-friendly. It comes with eight shower modes and two jet modes and is under $30.

Let’s face it, most liquid hand soap comes in plain unattractive containers. Bring a retro vibe into your bathroom with the GLADPURE Antique Design thick glass dispensers. This item comes with a two-pack and six waterproof label stickers.

For the Kitchen

I don’t like the taste of water, and I understand that, technically, water isn’t supposed to have a taste, but still. Because being hydrated is very important, I’ve tried multiple water filters to help me drink more water and finally found one that actually makes water taste less like nothing. (I know, I know.) The LifeStraw Home – Water Filter Pitcher, 10-Cup has actually helped me to consistently drink more water. Normally $49.95, the pitcher is on sale right now at Amazon for under $31.

Aluminum foil is generally necessary in the kitchen, so why not have it be required, but make it cute? The ChicWrap Carrera Marble Refillable Foil Dispenser really brings your foil game to the next level. The reusable dispenser looks like faux Carrera marble, comes with a 12” x 30’ roll of professional grade foil, and the slide cutter saves your fingers from the hacksaw blade of most Dispensers. Normally $24.99, you can now get this for $19.99 at Amazon.

For Guests

Many of us lack a dedicated guest room, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have regular guests. This Queen-sized Ivation EZ-Bed Air Bed gives you all the comfort of a regular guest bed in a design that folds into a compact package. Normally $399.99, you can get it for $359.99 at Amazon. Also available in Twin and King sizes.

For the Laundry

Sorting your dirty laundry is a thankless task. Enter the Whitmor 3 Section Laundry Sorter, which comes with a collapsible design that folds away for easy storage, is ideal for small spaces, and did I mention it has wheels? Available now for $38.99 at Amazon.
