36 Budget-Friendly Home Improvement Products That’ll Make A Difference You’ll Notice Every Single Day

You don’t have to spend a pretty penny (or, nickel, RIP pennies) to make your shower feel a lil’ more luxe.

by Divinia Tarin BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

1. A height-adjustable rodto double the amount of space in your closet so you can stop digging through that crammed black hole for your favorite tees. No mounting hardware or drills required for this upgrade — simply hang it from the rod already in there and you'll actually be able to see the clothes you own! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the best closet organizer. I originally bought a similar item that doesn't adjust, but this is 100 times better! Not only does it adjust vertically to fit whatever length of clothes, but it also adjusts its width, making it extremely functional no matter which closet you may want to use it in within your house. This makes it possible to switch and organize basically any closet!" —Ohgr8one

Get it from Amazon for $17.87.

2. A pair of cutefan light pull cords you need if you've ever had the misfortune of trying to turn on the fan at night only to blind yourself with the strength of 1,000 suns instead. Even in the pitch dark, you can feel which is which, so your eyeballs never have to go through that again. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m pleased with the length and how easy it was to adjust and install. The pieces feel solid and not easily broken." —AHMH

Get them from Amazon for $5.68+ (available in two lengths and three finishes).

3. An outlet cover power strip that'll free you from the immediate eye twitch that occurs when you catch sight of the tangle of wires next to your couch and TV console. It has a super thin design that still lets you push your furniture against the wall, and can make a *big* difference in reducing visual clutter in your space. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug, or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords but I think the look and quality of these is worth it." —Adam C.

Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in three lengths, a standard or inverted configuration, and a dual or smart design).

4. A set of no-drill wall-mounted dispenser bottles so you step into your shower and think, "wait... am I actually in a hotel rn?" They attach with a sturdy adhesive that reviewers say holds up to time and moisture, and even include fancy-looking waterproof labels! You'll be so excited to replace your mismatched shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles with these! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The kit comes with a silicone funnel so you can easily transfer your favorite toiletries. It includes three wall-mount brackets with adhesive, six waterproof labels (hand soap, dish soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash), and a three-chamber no-drill wall mount. You can see how one TikTok user styled these in this TikTok. 

Promising review: "We have a narrow bathtub/shower with little space. I love this product, it’s so easy to install. I used a level to keep them aligned. Wait 24 hours before you use them. Great price, great quality, I highly recommend." —Karen Kopecki

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine styles and individually or a two-pack). 

5. Some waterproofsolar-powered outdoor lantern lightsbecause an *essential* requirement for peak levels of ~ambiance~ during your cookouts is great lighting. Your porch light will never achieve the warm, comfortable glow these beauties can emit. And with how much time you're spending outdoors this summer, you'll be super grateful these require zero electricity! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These include the mounting hardware you'll need to hang them up. 

Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are very, very good quality and display lots of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog Tailor

Get a set of two from Amazon for $29.98. 

6. And a pack of solar-powered outdoor lightsfor maximum vibes and minimal struggle — they clip right to your fence, no tools required! Zhuzhing up your backyard for the season doesn't have to be complicated. These'll make your garden, patio, or deck glow without you even having to think about 'em! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Developed a garden on the apartment patio and wanted to add some lights along the railing to give it some character. These solar lights are not too bright and were easy to install. All the lights work, which is great. Better than I could have hoped for. 👍" —KMF

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $23.69+ (available in a warm white or color-changing style, and sets of 20 and 24).

7. Plus, waterproof solar-powered stair lights, which only require about five hours of sunlight to illuminate your path from dusk till dawn. The triangular  shape makes them easy to install on the edges of your staircase, and they shine super brightly, so coming home after a long day will feel extra inviting. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These can be installed with double-sided tape or hardware, both included with the lights. 

Promising review: "Where I live, it’s so dark and I have no outside electricity off my screened-in deck. I wanted lights for my stairs for safety and found these lights, which work and look great! They come with everything you need to fasten them to the stairs so they don’t fall off as well. I even bought extra and tested them in the event that the ones that are currently outside get damaged for any reason, and they are no longer sold. Definitely recommend for the price, nice and bright, and easy installation. Plus, they last all night long!" —Brooke

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in warm or cool white light and packs of four, eight, 12, 16, and 24). 

8. An acrylic dry-erase board that looks much sleeker than a whiteboard or random notes stuck to your fridge, and still lets you remind your kids to take the chicken out of the freezer when they wake up. (*Shudder*) Sorry, I just got flashbacks. Anyway, reviewers love how it's basically invisible when not being used, and say it looks beautiful in their home offices, too! 

1801 & Co/Etsy

This includes a set of standoffs, a black marker, and hanging instructions. Because it wipes off with a wet cloth or napkin, one reviewer suggests using wet erase markers if you're wanting more colors!

1801 & Co. is a Minnesota-based, family-owned Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in family wall calendars, chore charts, wedding signs, and more.

Promising review: "I love it! I got it so fast after ordering and it’s perfect. I love the sleek design for my small home office space. I can’t function at work without a dry-erase board but couldn’t find any that would look nice in my office space, which is in the corner of my master bedroom! Having functional office space but not LOOKING like an office in the bedroom is challenging but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it has very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." —Dawn Powell

Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $14.18+ (originally $18.91+; available in 19 sizes, six thicknesses, and three hardware colors). 

9. A shoe storage cabinetif you swear those pairs hanging out by your front door are out to get you (I've tripped on my chunky Dr. Martens too many times to count). The flip drawers can hide away up to 32 pairs of the fam's kicks, so your kiddo's Minecraft-themed crocs don't become part of the house decor. And since it stores the shoes vertically, it also takes up less space than other cabinets! 

www.amazon.com

Each drawer contains two layers of storage space with a panel that can be adjusted or removed so you can fit different shoe types and sizes, like chunky platforms, heels, and mid-boots. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this!! It fits perfectly in my space, my kids actually put their shoes in it now instead of just throwing them by the door. It's nice to look at, it's sturdy, the drawers open and shut easily, and we can fit so many pairs of shoes in there!!" —Kristin Guthrie 

Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in 11 styles and four sizes).

10. A weatherproof outdoor Wi-Fi extender with a strong signal and impressive range so you can hang out on the deck and do everything from scrolling TikTok, setting up an outdoor movie night, or truly *maximing* your WFH setup. Responding to emails while feeling a cool, spring breeze, anyone?

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Note: this isn't a plug-in wireless extender, so you'll need to run an Ethernet cable from your router.

Promising review: "Excellent WiFi signal — finally!! Super easy to install and setup! I added this as an access point (AP) to get a decent WiFi signal to my “Man Cave” in my back yard! I have a Roku TV, a laptop, my cellphone, a tablet, and I do computer repairs in my shop. I have an excellent router in my home but it just couldn’t get the signal outside to my shop! I ran a network cable through the attic and mounted the AP on the back of the house. The included POE supplies power — so just ONE cable to run!!! Immediately, I had WiFi!! Advice, mount the AP at a LOW level —  basically “line of sight” for whatever you are targeting. In my case, my shop equipment. I mounted it HIGH on the gable end of the house at first. I had about 50-60 Mbps. I was disappointment. Dropped it a couple of feet after studying radiation patterns of omnidirectional antennas. Went to 93 Mbps. Then dropped it another foot lower to be within “eye level” of my shop door. POW!! 200+ Mbps!! My ISP says “up to 400Mbps”. I’ve never achieved that speed even on a wired connection! So, I’m quite happy!! The shop is about 100–125 feet from the AP. I purchase a couple of 10Dbi antenna. It was a waste of money! The stock antennas do just fine for me!! Just get that AP in the line of sight!! You will be good to go!!" —Spirithdmc

Get it from Amazon for $72.38. 

11. A handcrafted rainbow glass wind chime for such a gentle, sparkling noise, all the morning birds will want to hang out while you're sipping your coffee. Or, you could leave it inside for a pretty rainbow effect when the sun hits it just right. Either way, the levels of zen in your home are about to reach 100. 

Amazon

If you're keeping it outdoors, the seller suggests periodically coating the chimes with a clear sealant so the color doesn't oxidize. 

Promising review: "This is definitely the most beautiful wind chime I've ever seen, and I love the sound too. The packaging was nice, all glass pieces were well protected. I will definitely consider buying again as gifts." —Anita J.

Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in 11 color combinations).

12. A compactsilverware tray so you can stop frantically being like "no, allow ME" when your dinner guests try to grab a fork from the horror that is your cutlery drawer. This slip-resistant insert neatly separates your silverware in stacks, saving major space and taking only slightly more effort than simply tossing everything inside. 

Amazon

It also comes in a version just for knives.

Promising review: "I thought this would be handy, and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two, because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things to be separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Jerimi

Get it from Amazon for $10.19+ (available in two sizes). 

13. Somewaterproof globe lights that'll add to whatever magic is in the air on a warm summer evening. The plastic bulbs are designed to be shatterproof and withstand the scorching sun, strong thunderstorms, and eventually, snowfall — so they're sure to last you a good while. Some dimmable lights twinkling above you, a Sleepytime tea, and a Kindle in hand.. ahhh, life is good. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers note that you should remove the bulbs before stringing up the strands and then install the bulbs.

Promising review: "These lights were perfect for my patio; I've received plenty of compliments so far. The Edison light bulbs are beautiful and offer the perfect amount of lighting for any occasion...the clips were ideal for my eaves and the overhang of the roof, which made for simple installation...now, I just need to find a dimmer capable of handling the required wattage, and the package will be complete." —Brody Vins

Get a 29-foot strand from Amazon for $15.78+ (available in three styles and six other lengths). 

14. A set of popular double-brushed microfiber sheets so wonderfully soft, you'll... 😴 — oh, sorry, I fell asleep just imagining how comfy-cozy laying on them would feel. Seriously though, reviewers say these are an affordable way to get that luxe, lightweight feel of higher-end sheets that work in the summer or winter. Just be prepared for your bed to become your favorite spot in the house. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases. 

LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. 

Promising review: “These sheets are so soft and comfy. I bought a set of sheets from a well-known luxury bedding brand, and they were absolutely awful. These sheets win hands down and are a fraction of the price. Highly recommend!" —MC-SanFran

Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, with or without deep pockets, in 42 styles, and packs of two and four). 

15. A 3D skirt tissue box doing the impossible and making allergy season... fun? Stylish? Look, if you're going to be sneezing and sniffling every day, the least you deserve is an artsy tissue holder that won't be an eyesore in your space. Oh, and those nice lotion-infused Kleenex. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It's designed to fit the entire tissue box, but some reviewers prefer to remove the tissues from their original box before placing them inside. 

Promising review: "This is just like the photos! It's a fun decoration for our kitchen. It looks just like the photos! Every time you take a tissue out, Marilyn’s dress changes to something different." —Hippie Artist

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).

16. A bamboo pantry that'll elegantly hide away your overflowing dishes without you having to pay to have extra cabinets installed. They have a semi-opaque, fluted glass that'll blur away the clutter inside and make your space feel that much more put together. Now you can finally stop using your cat-like reflexes to catch a falling cup every time you open your overstuffed cabinet! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this storage box/sideboard. It was packaged with care therefore nothing was damaged. It was easy to assemble and only took about 20 minutes, the directions and pictures were clear. It’s a great addition to my kitchen, its purpose was to hide hideous plugs and to use as a bread box and also to store loose snacks on the counter so that my dog doesn’t get to them. I did not hang it on the wall as you can see but I love the fact that it comes with all the hardware to do so. I’m extremely happy with my purchase, I thought it was decently priced, and the quality is great in my opinion. I definitely recommend this item!!" —Marianne C

Get it from Amazon for $79.79+ (available two wood finishes, two styles, and two sizes). 

17. A flexible clip-on mushroom lightwith a soft, dreamy glow that's straight out of an enchanted forest. 🧚 The lil' shroom has a lamp mode for an all-around glow, a reading mode that lights up the underside alone, and a mood light so you can change the color! It's especially perfect if you, much like a fairy, are living in a hut with very limited desk space — just clip this to your headboard, shelves, or desk, and enjoy ambient lighting galore. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It also has 10 brightness levels to choose from, and three different lighting temperatures.

Promising review: "I love the way the light looks and the different colors, but honestly I love the flexibility of the neck. I can manipulate it to fit the function of what I am doing. I have used it as reading light and mood light by the bed. I had no problem reading my book at night. I have used it as a task light to do arts and crafts. More recently, I have used it at work and it now has a permanent spot at my desk. The light was a great value for the money for me." —Terese

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in black and white).  

18. A GooDee 4K Smart Projector, because who said you need to drop a couple of Benjamins just to enjoy a movie night outdoors? This comes with built-in apps — no extra devices required! — and has an impressive brightness, image, and audio quality that'll make your fifth rewatch of Project Hail Mary feel like the first time (life altering). For the price, it really can't be beat!

www.amazon.com

Reviewers also love this lightweight portable screen for indoor and outdoor use! 

Promising review: "I just bought this to upgrade from an older GooDee projector model, and for the price, this thing is incredible. The picture is crisp, detailed, and far better than I expected at this price point. The brightness is high quality and strong. I keep it downstairs and use it daily for a few hours, just like did with my older GooDee model—which still works, by the way. The only part that might confuse some users is that you need to calibrate the remote before using it. The instructions appear on the screen when you power it on, and the calibration only takes seconds. Just keep the remote close to the projector. Took me about 45 minutes to set up with projector mount. The projector itself should take about 10–15 minutes to get started. I would definitely buy this again." —Jai B. Palmer

Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in black and white and three other styles). 

19. A two-tier spice shelfthat expands to line your cabinets and can hold up to 40 pounds of your seasonings, so you don't have to rummage through the bottles when you already don't want to make dinner. They're also great for your medicine cabinet or skincare!

Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 

20. Collapsible storage crates in such pretty pastel colors, it'll be much easier to convince your kiddo that putting away their art supplies and toys isn't such a chore. These can be neatly stacked and put away when you're not using them, and how cute would it be to have a matching set for your office supplies??

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and 11 colors). 

21. A set ofmini fridge drawers that securely clip to your shelves so you finally have a designated spot for the small snacks, sandwich essentials, and anything else that gets forgotten about in the back of the fridge. They also come with extendable rails and drawer dividers for levels of organization that would impress even the most seasoned members of FridgeTok. 

Amazon

Promising review: "What a great way to organize the cheese drawer which was lacking in our fridge! And, oh my gosh, installation could not be any easier! Now everything is in one place and we have storage space underneath it to boot! You can even easily remove the drawer if you need to when accessing or reloading it." —Debra G

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available as a two-pack). 

22. Plus, a waterproof shelf linerin fun floral patterns you can add to your fridge, drawers, and countertops, so they don't feel left out as you redecorate your home for the warmer months.  You'll be so excited to add them to your space, you'll finally check "clean fridge shelves" and "clean out drawers" off your spring cleaning list!

Amazon

These create a nonslip surface, and since they're waterproof, are super easy to wipe down and clean. 

Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in 16 sizes and 18 patterns). 

23. Some faux ivyto protect your balcony from the the eyes of curious neighbors, because sometimes you just want to enjoy your morning coffee without brushing your hair first. Pretty fencing + the rustle of faux leaves + a journal = the perfect Sunday morning. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These worked wonderfully to give some privacy to my back yard without blocking out everything. I have had them up for about a year now, and they hold up well to weather conditions (snow, rain, freeze, heat). Color has lasted so far. No issues with hanging them. I used green zip ties purchased separately. Easy to cut and adjust the size. Recommended." —Don't Be Hateful

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes).

24. A battery-operatedpatio umbrella light so you and your friends can play a friendly game of Spades well into the night. It's equipped with three brightness modes and unobtrusively clamps right to your umbrella, aka no competing with lamps for table space. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It requires four AA batteries to run, which are not included. 

Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings to adjust the amount of brightness you need. The lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. The brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan

Get it from Amazon for $9.29.

25. Awaterfall faucetbecause sometimes it's the smallest details that make you feel like you have your life together. Not only does it add an elegant, sleek look to your bathroom, but it also creates a solid water pressure that'll make washing your face at night go by just a little faster. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a beautiful faucet. It was easy to install, and it works well — we are very happy with our purchase. It does not have a drain-stop mechanism, which doesn't bother me a whole lot as I don't close the drain often. However, if you want to close the drain you have to do so manually under the sink. The faucet seems to be very good quality, well-made, and I like everything about it, other than the lack of a drain stop control in the back. The design makes it seem like the water is coming out at a fuller force than it actually is, which prompts one to not turn it on as hard (at least in my case it does), thus saving water. You feel like you're getting plenty of water at a lower use of GPM. I'm big on conserving water as OC has the highest water cost in NJ." —OC Girl

Get it from Amazon for $50.82+ (available in four finishes). 

26. A nonslip stone bath matyou didn't realize was an option, but you'll be immediately obsessed with when you finally replace that stinky old rug you've been using. This gorgeous upgrade is made of diatomite stone that absorbs water and dries almost instantly, so you never have to step on a cold, wet cloth again (blegh). And when it's not being used, you can fold it up and put it away! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoids my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela

Get it from Amazon for $33.99. 

27. A roll of insulating weather stripping to keep hot air out and cool air in, which can make a dramatic difference in how comfortable you feel *and* your electricity bill (aka more moolah for summer plans).  It sticks right to the outer rims of your door, and can help lower the noise that seeps into your space, too! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very strong adhesive holds in place. Very good draft/leak stopping. My door faces the breezeway, and it tends to seep into the cracks and blows hot or cold air along the floor, making it awful in the winter. This stopped that as soon as I put it on." —AYonko

Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two lengths and four colors).

28. A Chalkboard spray paint, because your kiddo will draw on the walls, and wouldn't it be amazing if you could just enjoy their masterpiece rather than dread the scrubbing? Just spray a few layers of this quick-drying formula onto any spot you'd like to transform, and you can both have fun doodling flowers and writing sweet messages to one another!

www.amazon.com

And don't forget the chalk markers!

Promising review: "Perfect! The spray chalkboard paint is far superior to the brush-on kind I have tried in the past. I used it on a Melissa and Doug chalkboard that my daughter got (which was terrible by the way, no chalk worked on it and it squeaked like nails on a chalkboard, AWFUL) and this spray fixed all the issues with that. And now it works great, the chalk runs smoothly along the board, and it looks great. It also didn't take very much spray to do the chalkboard. The can is bigger than I expected. I can't wait to chalk-ify more things!" —BatwoMANDA

Get it from Amazon for $6.29 (also available in a six-pack and brush-on style). 

29. A set of 3D-printed KitchenAid Tool holders when whipping up a batch of your famous chocolate chip cookies for the potluck leaves your other attachments stranded without their bowl home. These can be drilled in or attached with command strips, so they're renter-friendly, too! 

McMaster3D on Etsy

McMaster3D is a Langhorne, Pennsylvania-based Etsy shop that specializes in 3D printing.

Promising review: 'These are great! They come with command strips, and I installed mine sideways on a cabinet instead of underneath, and it's working great! Saving so much drawer space." —Etsy Reviewer

Get a set of three from McMaster3D on Etsy for $11+ (available in 12 colors).

30. A privacy window film so you can transform the light streaming into your home into a gorgeous, magical kaleidoscope straight out of Barbie: Fairytopia. And bonus (!), it helps give you more privacy from neighbors and delivery drivers.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and 14 sizes). 

31. Atransparent bird feeder with an impressively strong suction you attach right to your window so you can watch all the lil' birdies snacking on their seeds! It's designed with a tray that slides out for easy cleaning and refilling, and has a divider so you can use two types of feed at once and attract a variety of birds. You and your cat will also get a front-row view of the drama happening in the bird community (red cardinals are bullies, apparently). 😲

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Some reviewers even decorated their birdhouses with little frills like moss, flowers, and twine!

Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in but your furry friend can look out.  

Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels who sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea they’re even there, and the cats are in disbelief they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall, a great purchase, my family loves it!" —SRowe

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two styles).

32. Some dimmable strip lightsso creeping into the kitchen for a midnight snack doesn't require the evil Big Light™ exposing your moves. The pre-cut strips adhere right to the underside of your cabinets, shelves, or bed, and can be controlled with a wireless remote that works up to 60 feet away! 

www.amazon.com

The included adhesive won't damage cabinets, and no tools are required! 

Promising review: "Awesome product!! I love the ease of installation and extra pieces for a good fit. Perfect for adding some much-needed light to my dark kitchen. Dimmable and comes with a remote! There's no downside!" —Breezy Lady

Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a12-count).

34. A sun shade canopy because if you're anything like me, the sun burning your skin takes almost EVERY ounce of joy out of what could be a fun summer day — but some shade... well, it makes the outdoors a little more bearable. This'll block up to 95% of UV rays, promotes air circulation (a must), and has a curved design that prevents rain water from accumulating. With this protecting you, you might actually step out of the house this season! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have had it up for over a month, and it is holding up very well to sun, wind, rain, and storms. I take it down when I get enough forewarning of strong storms, but sometimes we've been out of town, and it has held up quite well. We roll it up and to the side using the installation kit anchors when we get a warning for strong winds. But, like I've said, we've come home after storms to small branches down in the yard, but the sail was good. It does a great job of blocking the sun and cools the house and patio quite nicely from the summer sun." —Ms. Shannon
