Check Out Our Reviews of These 9 Ingenious Things for Your Home

There is a certain button that you can probably only find on a Japanese toilet. It is called “Oto-Hime.” This button helps you cover up any noises inside the bathroom. The sounds that come on after pressing it also have a relaxing effect.

Sometimes, one little thing can have a big impact, so we selected some simple and, at the same time, genius things that can give your home a boost. We carefully curated a list, and here’s what we came up with.

1. These little chair socks are a life-saver for your floors and nerves.

These funny socks will protect the floor from scratches and will also make moving pieces of furniture much easier (for cleaning underneath or reorganizing).

Pros:

• These are perfect for furniture on hard floors.

Cons:

• The color you see on the screen when ordering can be deceiving.

Protects the floor and does what it says on the tin! — daniel williams

I have tried sticky pads and other pads that needed to be nailed onto the legs of our kitchen chairs. Nothing worked very well, and, in the case of the nailed pads, the floor was badly damaged. The chairs were difficult to move and noisy. The socks protect the floor and the chair legs, and now the chairs glide silently. The socks are also a talking point when we have visitors. — Margaret D

2. This holder is eggsactly what you need to organize your eggs neatly.

This product doesn’t take up a lot of space while holding a lot of eggs (up to 3 dozen). Apart from functionality, it is also a nice decoration that goes well in any interior kitchen space.

Pros:

• Space-saving
• Fits large eggs

Cons:

• An egg rolling from the top can make eggs crack if there are only a couple on the bottom.

Promising reviews:

I have had 2 precious egg skelters, which have both been ‘OK’ but not brilliant because they took up too big a footprint on the worktop, or didn’t hold enough eggs. Then I spotted this (and a similar rival brand). I’m delighted with this one. It holds loads of large eggs, doesn’t meander or wobble as a couple of the reviews said, and I can’t see how any eggs can possibly fall off the bottom end as there is a metal bar stopping them (see my pics). It has a felt base that protects my oak worktop (metal can react and mark it), and it turns easily. Top item! 🥚 - Attomic

It’s great. Our hens lay quite large eggs, and this is wide enough for them. Only lost a star because rolling an egg from the top causes them to crack if there are only a couple in the bottom 👍 I would recommend though 👍 - suemoore21

3. This breathable and skin-friendly cover can work wonders. It is like getting a new couch, only cheaper!

This cover fits perfectly because of the high-stretch spandex fabric. An elastic band helps it stay in place. Machine-washable: wash in cold water to avoid fading.

Pros:

• The product completely changes the look of your old sofa.
• Very soft fabric

Cons:

• It picks up dust and pet hair.

This cover will make your couch really cozy, and your pets will be impressed too!

Promising reviews:

Bought to cover my sofa that’s covered in marks that come with having a toddler. I’m so impressed with the result, and it’s nice and soft. My sofa measurements were pushing the size I ordered, and although it fits well, I maybe should have gone up a size just to have more fabric to push under the cushions. All in all, I wish I’d brought this sooner and saved the embarrassment when I had visitors. — Amazon Customer

Completely changed our caravan lodge’s appearance. We didn’t want to get rid of the original sofa as it was too comfy, but these really did the job, fit perfectly, no loose corners, fit in between the cushions, and really just looked the part. You really wouldn’t think we had a cover over them. — Miss A.S

I bought these shelves to enable me to stack serving dishes along the center of our Christmas dinner table. They worked perfectly. Everyone commented on the great idea.
Now they are in use in cupboards making access to stacked items easier. When not in use, they fold flat and take up very little storage space. — Amazon Customer

Very strong and just what I needed to organize my cupboard! Holds 12 kg of flour and baking stuff and not even a bend. Would definitely recommend and buy again if needed. — Tracey robinson

5. Your bathroom time will become more comfortable with this perfectly thought-through, spacious holder.

Save some space and organize your bathroom essentials. The toilet tissue holder is combined with a shelf that you can use to hold your cell phone or wet wipes.

Pros:

• The stand is very stable and doesn’t move around the room when used.
• Suitable for most roll sizes.

Cons:

• It can easily pull apart when you lift it.

Promising reviews:

If you use both toilet paper and toilet wipes, this is a great item as you can keep both in the same place. It was a bit hard to put together as the material is very strong, but on the other hand, it’s great as it’s very resistant. But if you’re strong, it will be easy for you to assemble it. — Marisa

So good, I bought 3! After a move from a cottage to a new build, just didn’t want to have to start drilling holes everywhere. An ideal solution, easy to assemble :-) - Queenie

Promising review:

I’ve used these in the past, and they don’t disappoint. They are strong. Easy to add to things and turn very smoothly. I would definitely recommend them. — gothgyal

We wanted to put the castors under a heavy wooden cupboard containing carpentry tools in our garage, and they did the job perfectly. The cupboard is very heavy, but we are able to move it around the garage with ease. The castors have a locking brake, which helps to keep the cupboard in a permanent position. — Liz

7. Keep your fruit and veggies perfectly fresh thanks to this holder, which comes with a banana hanger.

Pros:

• The product looks nice as 2 separate fruit bowls.
• It is really space-saving.
• Helps keep fruit fresh.

Cons:

Easy to assemble and very sturdy. Happy with the fruit basket. — Kindle Customer

I love how much space I have for all the fruit we buy. It’s very sturdy. You can join the 2 fruit bowls together, or you can have them separate.
Very easy to clean. I just wipe it down and dry it off with a tea towel. Looks fantastic in our kitchen, and quite a few people have commented on how good it is, and I’ve sent them a link to get one! — Karol Jane

Love these boxes. I don’t use the rack, as the cupboard is not wide enough, but they stack perfectly and store my food perfectly. — Johanna Covell-Ritchie

A little pricey, but great space-saving. You never fully use the top part of the cupboard, so this is great. — Amazon Customer
