You can spend hours curating the perfect aesthetic for your space, getting every throw pillow and scented candle just right. But then there it is, lurking in the corner like a B-list movie villain: a chaotic jumble of cords, a trash can that’s always in the way, or a bathroom crack that screams, "I've seen things". These little eyesores have a special talent for throwing off the entire vibe, quietly mocking all your hard work from the sidelines.
But before you commit to a massive, budget-breaking remodel, what if you could just make all those annoying things go into witness protection? We're talking about deceptively simple and sneaky items that are basically the masters of disguise for your home. We've rounded up a list of clever buys that will help you tuck away the tacky, organize the overwhelming, and hide the hideous, making it look like you're way more put-together than you actually feel.

That Sad Patch Of Concrete You Call A Patio Is About To Get A Major Personality Transplant With This Vibrant Outdoor Rug
Review: "I bought this rug to make our outdoor deck a little more inviting and it works great for the space. I was hesitant about how recycled plastic would feel but it’s much softer under our feet than expected, providing a bit of cushion between us and the deck. It comes with a jute-like carrying case so you could easily roll it up and take it to the beach, out for a picnic, or keep it in the back of your car. Hoping this holds up because we like it a lot." - Jennifer D.

The item description says it's to baby and pet-proof the outlets. Weird though.

We live for that low-effort, high-impact upgrade that makes your space look and feel so much better.

Your Entryway's Current Shoe Explosion Can Finally Be Contained Within This Surprisingly Stylish Shoe Storage Cabinet That Even Has A Bonus Drawer For All Those 'Where Do I Put This' Bits
Review: "Great solution to store shoes. Straightforward assembly. Will fit up to size 12 pretty easily. Note that 12.5 might be too long to fit easily and wide gym shoes are snug when storing three across." - R
Review: "Easy to put on window once we sprayed enough water on them to stick. Also easy to cut to fit the size of window. When the light shines through it, the colors shine like a rainbow and also helps block the view from the outside in but it isn’t completely obscured. Seems to be holding up well after a couple months now and thick enough to last a while." - b

Wonder what it looks like from the outside - like opaque wax paper probably.

I'll be getting this at some point (though probably not this exact design) because most of my windows are right next to the public sidewalk with no yard in between and it's super easy for people to just look right in if I open the blinds. Just gotta figure out what to do about the stickers that were never removed from the windows when they were installed first. (Hey, the place is really cheap, it's a safe neighborhood, the floor plan is great, I have vinyl plank flooring that looks like wood instead of ugly carpet, and the landlord is good about addressing problems. The windows were probably installed before they bought the place.)

Those Sad, Purely Functional Metal Rectangles Posing As Central Air Outlets Can Finally Get A Much-Needed Glow-Up With These Decorative Grates
Review: "Painted my dining room and had to replace the old grate. It had been painted several times before and I wanted something nice. I found this one on Amazon. I used longer screws because the old grate had destroyed the drywall and the screws that came with the grate weren't long enough to go through the ductwork. That was easy enough to swap the screws for longer ones. I'm very happy with the wall grate." - CSpott
Review: "I used this product on my counter tops and love it. We moved in a house with pale pink counter tops but really didn't have extra money to replace them. This was so easy to apply and they turned out great." - Stacey

Before picture also shows that they protected the side parts with newspapers, so they might have just moved the counter in the middle of the room for easier painting,

one is free straight counter the other is L against the wall. Not the same counter. There seems to be hardware on the left one that is missing from the right one as well.

Your friends and family will definitely say "Wow". But it will be more of a "Wowwwwww...so you...painted your countertops? Really? And you think that was a good idea?" sort of wow.

I always wonder about these counter painting things. Do they hold up to cleaning and are they food safe?

Your Driveway Doesn't Have To Look Like Your Car Had A Very Greasy, Very Public Breakdown With Chomp! Concrete Oil Stain Remover
Review: "After looking at several products to remove oil stains from driveways, I decided to go with this "Chomp Pull It Out" stuff. I was amazed and quite impressed with the results. You can see the spot area I tested the product on in the first photo. Then I applied the product to the rest of the stain and left it overnight. Swept it away the next day and then washed the surface and let dry. I did need to apply a second treatment to a few areas that were not completely cleaned, especially in between some of the pavers but, after that, the whole stain was magically gone. Looks like new! If you know the general size of pavers, you can tell this was a pretty good sized stain. One bottle was enough to do this entire spot, with the second treatment, and I still have some left for a few small spots elsewhere on the driveway. Overall, an excellent product!" - Eric

We have put these in every house we have lived in for years (assuming they didn't come with already). They're awesome.
George Costanza 4 months ago
I do have one of these (some other company though) and much prefer it to a standalone trash bin or one that doesn't slide out.
Let's be clear, the goal isn't to live in a sterile, personality-free showroom where you're afraid to put your feet up. It's about finding that sweet spot between cozy and chaotic. Hiding the necessary-but-not-cute stuff is the ultimate hack, because it lets the things you actually love about your home take center stage instead of competing with a tangle of wires.

That Awkward, Empty Void In Your Kitchen Or Bathroom Is About To Become Your New Favorite Hiding Spot Thanks To A 4-Tier Slim Rolling Storage Cart
Review: "This fits perfectly into the awkward skinny space in my bathroom. It was very easy to put together and has turned that previously unusable space into more storage. The wheels aren't great on it, but they get the job done and they haven't broken yet. I use it mostly for storing extra bottles of shampoo/body wash/etc. or other bathroom products I don't need on a regular basis, but like to have on hand. It seems to be able to hold a decent amount of weight too, since my whole top shelf is candles. I also like that there are little hooks on the end so you can hang a small towel or something else there." - Jacqui

Your Deck's Current 'Weathered And Weary' Aesthetic Can Be Traded In For 'Fresh And Fabulous' With A Good Coat Of This Deck Stain And Sealer
Review: "This was recommended to me by a guy who sold us redwood boards from his mill. It went on easily and it looks gorgeous! I stained a fence and two decks in the last three years and this product is far superior right off the bat. Love the richness of the color and the wood is soaking it up consistently. The plastic lid seal was perplexing but I grabbed pliers right away and twisted it off. Also, agreed, it gets really sludgy at the bottom. Not sure how to counter that except maybe stir constantly with a paint stir stick throughout the process." - I Know Jack
