Why do so many apartments have such tiny bathrooms? If yours is one of them, you already know that finding ways to store all your bathroom essentials without creating clutter can be challenging — but with the right mindset, a small bathroom can inspire you to find creative ways to do more with less.
Take this space-saving bathroom storage cabinet, for example — a number-one bestseller on Amazon with more than 4,000 perfect five-star ratings, it’s an ingenious way to make the most of vertical space in your bathroom. Measuring just 6 by 6.7 inches at the base, its small footprint means it’ll fit basically anywhere, including in that tiny space between the toilet and bathroom sink or wall. Yet its generous 31.5-inch height means it’s still surprisingly spacious: It has a built-in toilet paper roll holder at the top, plus two roomy compartments inside to hold backup rolls, cleaning products, hair and skin-care essentials, and other small items. You can even use the top to hold a candle or small plant!
The cabinet is made of a lightweight, eco-friendly PVC foam board, which is waterproof, fire-retardant, and non-toxic. Unlike many storage solutions for small spaces, it’s super easy to put together and won’t require you to drill any holes in the wall. In fact, multiple Amazon reviewers compared assembling the cabinet’s puzzle-like pieces to putting together a LEGO set, reporting that the process was not only quick and easy, but actually pretty fun. And the finished product is super satisfying, as one reviewer happily shared: “I’m so in love with this thing. I’m like an excited little kid, I just wanna show it off to everyone. It’s so cute and sturdy and smooth.”
Sure, given that it’s made of foam board, this probably isn’t a piece of furniture you’ll be handing down to your grandchildren. But for less than $40, it’s totally worth investing in to make your current space more functional — especially if you went a little overboard stocking up on toilet paper last spring.

With summer in full swing, it’s hard not to want to grill everything in sight. Corn, chicken, heck, even peaches taste that much better with those telltale grill marks. But having to drag everything outside and fire up that clunky thing all the time? Ugh. That’s why Le Creuset’s Enameled Cast Iron Square Skillet Grill is so darn handy. You get the best parts of grilling and leave the worst outside where they belong. And thanks to Amazon Prime Day, you can snag this beauty for just $99.95 (normally $169.95). Year-round grilling perfection for 38 percent off? Yes, please!
If you’re questioning whether or not it’s really worth it to try to grill indoors, this pan will change your mind. First, it uses the same high-quality, chip-resistant cast iron that made Le Creuset’s Dutch ovens famous. That means optimal heat retention and even heat distribution throughout the pan (something an outdoor grill could never promise!). Second, you can see the seared perfection because the interior ridges give you those coveted, tasty grill marks. The black enamel finish requires no seasoning, and let’s be honest, it’s way easier to clean with soap and water in the sink than dealing with a nasty grill brush.
Some other indoor benefits? The grill is only 12-by-13.5-inches, which gives you plenty of space for those steaks, but it only takes up one stove burner. No storage space or backyard? No problem. It’s also oven and broiler friendly, unlike its outdoor counterpart. And after the excess fat drips down into the ridges, you can use the two pour spouts to spill it out. Goodbye hazardous flames, hello healthy meals!
The best part? With a grill pan, you can get those tasty meals no matter the weather. This pan provides that summer flavor even on the rainiest, snowiest, and coldest days of the year. So, whether you choose the classic Marseille or Cherry Red to sit on your stove, you’ll be thanking yourself all year round for grabbing such a great deal when you could. Now it’s time to grill, baby, grill!

You really can’t go wrong with any Harmati find, especially if you’re short on room and shopping on a budget. The bench — one of the newest additions — really checks all the boxes. Not only does the sherpa fabric win all the trendiness and comfort points (seriously, you’ll actually want to sit on this), but the lid also pops off for a secret storage solution. And let’s not forget the most prevalent detail: It’s on sale!
Clocking in at just 44″ wide and in the perfect neutral hue, this bench has the potential to revamp your entryway, sit pretty at the foot of your bed, or stash extra throws in the living room corner — endless styling and storing options, really. And, if the white’s not your speed, it also comes in an equally cool-looking gray velvet version. Either way, you’ll want to act fast, Prime members, before this double-duty treasure sells out!
