20+ Cool Inventions That’ll Spice Up and Ease Your Life
Everyday things can sometimes be improved with just a little add-on that can turn an ordinary thing into something really cool, useful, or possibly even adorable. Designers possess this superpower — they can turn a typical bench into one on rails, sheltering you from the sun. Other times, they go all in and transform a corporate building into a library — all we can say is we appreciate designers and their really smart, innovative ideas.
We at Bright Side love when designers use their ingenuity to everyone’s advantage and we found some examples that we hope you’ll love. Make sure to check our bonus section out for a little surprise that will warm your heart — literally!
1. “They put rails under the benches in this park so you can always be in the shade.”

Bonus: The perfect dress for our work-from-home days
Latvian-born designer, based in Amsterdam, Santa Kupča created this design as part of her graduation project titled Dolce far Niente. The Dolce far Niente dress seems to be the perfect dress to wear when we have Zoom conferences with our colleagues, when we are FaceTiming with our besties, or simply for all of us that are working from home every day. The snaps of the dress were taken by the talented photographer Lucas de Ruiter.
Which one of these products made you go “I didn’t even know I wanted that!”? Which design do you think is the most creative?
