Pro tip: Make sure you measure the depth and width of your cabinet before you swap the hardware, as not all cabinet pulls have the exact same measurements. 

Promising review: "Can't beat the quality for the price! Solid weight, none arrived scratched, bent or broken. Definitely get the template! It makes installation a breeze! With the template, I had 24 handles installed in less than 45 minutes! Immediately upgraded my cabinets. Very happy with this purchase!" —alexa

2. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit for removing all the burnt food and gunk that's residing on your glass stove top. It comes with a soft pad for everyday messes and a hardcore scraper if something doesn't want to budge.

www.amazon.com

The kit includes a 10-ounce bottle of Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper to make it a quick and easy job.

Promising review: "I accidentally spilled some soup on the stove cooktop, it was only there for a few seconds before I wiped it up but man, did it do some serious damage! No amount of scrubbing was getting the burnt mark off at all so I bought this kit hoping for a miracle! First you clean as much debris off as possible with the included razor handle, then apply the cleaner and then scrub with the provided pad. It took four rounds but the cooktop looks brand new! I ended up doing the entire cooktop afterwards and it looks so nice! I would recommend this miracle cleaner to EVERYONE with a glass cooktop" —Shantel Martinez

Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three styles).

3. Some stove burner covers and gap covers that'll catch all the droplets of sauces, drips of oils, and globs of half-cooked food when you're cooking a meal. This will make cleanup a breeze. (These are also dishwasher safe!)

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I've been using the foil ones and while they do the job, they're not so nice to look at. I like that this is black so it matches the original color of the appliances, but more importantly I like that this has a larger surface area to catch the drips that the foil ones never could before. They're also trim to fit, so they get right up into each burner without leaving gaps where drips can burn where it's hardest to clean. Time will tell if they're as durable/reusable as they claim. If they are, then I'll try to trim two of the spares to fit the center large burner. Overall recommended." —Michael

Promising review: "This polish is AMAZING! I have teak stained wood kitchen cabinets that have taken a beating over the past many years. I was resigned to the belief that I would have to replace the cabinet doors due to wear and tear, scratches, water stains etc. I discovered this wax on Amazon and decided to give it a try. WOW what a difference. My cabinets look brand new. Other waxes and polishes would work but a day later all the blemishes would bleed through. A week later they would look bad again. This stuff feeds the wood, erases the blemishes and lasts for a long time. It's been weeks since I first applied this wax and my cabinet doors still look great! Try it ... you won't be disappointed!" —RH

Each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to for! Yellow is the “all-purpose” medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you’re cleaning (but none of them will scratch)!

Promising review: "I manage many apartment properties and finding people to do the cleaning has been tricky business, so I end up having to get in and clean these horrendous filth pods tenants lived in and left me to deal with when they move out. The ovens and stove tops are usually the worst, and I absolutely hate cleaning. I came across this drill attachment set, and let me tell you, it helped me tremendously! I still had to get in with a putty knife on some of them but it really cut down my elbow-grease time." —alicia haats

I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." —Britney Phillips

Promising review: "I installed an expensive soft white tile (if there is such a thing) floor in the kitchen when I bought my house. At the time, it was a new product and it was beautiful – that fuzzy, warm feeling changed the first time I dropped a fork.

Amazon

This is also a better option than an organizer that hangs over your faucet because the weight of those can mess with your water flow!

Promising review: "This fits our sink perfectly! It's not too big and holds a sponge and two bottles of soap. We have a standard apartment sink and it fits perfectly, it also holds very well. We have it suctioned on the sink, not the counter." —Erin Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

Promising review: "I love everything matching. Finally got rid of all my mix-match stuff! However, they are SO many items it was too much to fit in my drawer so I put the things I use the most in the drawer and kept the rest in the holder and store them with my pots and pans. The holder is plastic and cheap so this would not be something I’d leave on the counter.

The are super sturdy and sharp looking. AND, they didn’t get dirty, black or burnt when scraping up charred food in a frying pan. Cleaned right off of the spatula. Very pleased." —Bonnie Pfiester

Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight color combos).

18. An expandable under-sink kit so you can utilize all the space in your cabinet. This smartly wraps around the awkward drain pipe, giving you way more space than before.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small — under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end so that's easy enough to do-comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Jennifer Mowry

Get it from Amazon for $24.87+ (available in three finishes).

19. A two-sided tea bag organizer so your cupboard isn't overflowing with near-empty boxes of tea. Better yet, you can leave this on the counter if you really need to free up cabinet space, as it's aesthetically pleasing and doesn't take up much room at all.

Promising review: "This is an amazing tool to organize, declutter, and gain accessibility. I used to have a shelf of boxed teas that I had to rummage through when I wanted to make a cup. Now I can see what I have, I save cabinet space, and it is easy to store along side my kettle. I loved it so much I ordered a second one for my office. I get many compliments." —D. Burks

Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business based in New Hampshire making plant-based cleaning products for the home.

Promising review: "I live in an apartment. The sink is about 35-years-old and has become badly stained and scratched from neglect and indifferent care. This has made a noticeable difference. This sink will never look brand new again, but your product removed, I would say, about 80% of the stains, without any extraordinary effort, and put a really polished look on the sink. It is gleaming and actually looks very clean for the first time since I have lived here." —David Brennan

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a pack of two and larger size).

21. A compact compost bin/trashcan for when space is tight and a traditional trashcan just won't work. When I lived alone, my regular-size trash can always stayed half empty, so I switched to a smaller compost-sized bin. It freed up space in my kitchen and filled up quickly enough to keep food scraps from getting stinky. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So I saw this tiny trash can on TikTok, and I was moving into a tiny studio apartment and thought this would be perfect. Turns out it's one of the best things I've ever bought. I installed mine with the over-the-cabinet hooks (also comes with adhesive stickers) on my kitchen island, and it is so convenient I can't even express with words. The lid is on this nifty hinge so you can open it by flipping the lid up, or by sliding it forward and it folds down out of the way. I usually keep it open while I'm cooking but I can close it super quickly if I see the dog coming. There is a little pull tab for easy opening. It is so easy to use and easy to clean. It's also so cute! I use my plastic grocery bags as trash can liners for this and they fit perfectly. It comes with a roll of bags as well. The lid lifts off easily to change bags out. Clicks back on easily over the new liner. Can't recommend this enough!! This is going on my list of 'best things I've ever spent my money on.'" —Ginger

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three colors). 

22. An accordion-like pots and pan organizer because lids and pans need a home too. You know the dilemma you face when you wanna stack your pots and pans neatly, but then you have nowhere to put their lids? This product fixes that!

Amazon

The length expands to 30" and each rod is 6.5" tall to accommodate taller items. Synthetic rubber bumpers protect your delicate surfaces.

Promising review: "Finally, a solution to corral all of these freaking pot and pan lids! It expands perfectly to accommodate my 30" wide cabinet. Actually, it can go a little further than that but it gets less stable when you exceed the maximum width. It also works great for smaller cabinets. I tried it out in a pull-out drawer that's approximately 24" and it serves its purpose well." —Nurse Bex

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

23. Some mounted wine racks that are a triple threat: they allow you to show off your pretty stemware; they're easily accessible when wine o'clock hits, and you'll free up space in your cabinets.

macraYAYmacrame is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based shop that makes a variety of cool macrame accessories. 

My colleague Jenae Sitzes owns and loves this: 

"I recently picked up this macrame basket (in the Cactus shade) and *highly* recommend it if you're looking to add a cozy touch to your kitchen. As someone with a relatively small NYC kitchen, I need every bit of counter space I can get, and this lets me keep produce out without having to take up space with a fruit basket or banana stand. I'm a big fan of utilizing vertical space as storage, and this does just that; plus, it allows for ventilation to help your fruit stay fresh for longer. I'm constantly cooking with onions or grabbing an apple as a mid-day snack, and having them right there at an arm's reach is sooo nice. BTW, these come with hooks that screw directly into a cabinet, but if you (like me) want to avoid that damage, I recommend using Command hooks — I'm using four of these small toggle hooks and they've held up the basket *with* produce in it wonderfully."

They are shiny like tile and have the texture of tile as well. They are easy to clean and relatively easy to install. It took me two afternoons only because I hadn’t ordered enough and needed one more package (a total of three packages completed my L-shaped back splash area)." —Kyle & Noelle

No stripping, sanding, or priming either! It's really that easy.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "You can see a before and after in my pictures but this paint was AMAZING and a huge transformation to my outdated kitchen.

The Process:

- I started off by completely cleaning the wooden cabinets with KRUD KUTTER PC32 Prepaint Cleaner/TSP Substitute. I read a lot of reviews on this cleaner and heard that is was great for cleaning off oils and dirt, and it really did wonders.

- I sanded down the cabinets.

- I then primed the cabinets with a special wood primer.

- Once the primer dried, I used the Nuvo paint on the cabinets. I did four very thin layers of paint. It is vital that you keep each layer very thin because it will dry weird. I found that in the corner of the cabinets where paint puddled even a little bit that it would cracker so make sure that you keep thin layers

- Additionally, I ended up purchasing regular brushes outside of this kit. A few blogs said that they used the foam brushes; however, I did not like how the paint laid on the cabinets with them." —Danielle Joy
