Just because your apartment is small doesn't mean your style has to be — every inch is a chance to flex your inner interior designer and let your personality shine.
1. A set of nesting side tables with glass tops and metal legs ensures your emotional support Stanley cup, late-night tea, or post-work espresso martini is always within arm's reach.
Target
Promising review:"100% happy with these table sets. I purchased two sets. Looks amazing, so very easy to assemble, easy instructions, packaging for shipping was excellent also. Only positive reviews here!" — Angela
2. A round metal coffee table with hammered detail that adds industrial-chic vibes to your home. Best of all? No assembly is required, so you won't be left questioning your ability to follow instructions.
Target
Promising review:"This is a short table perfect for not blocking your view. Very lightweight, so it works better with a rug under it. I bought this to add more metal and break up the wood. The gold tone is perfect for adding warmth to my space!" — Tiny But Mighty
3. An elegant round mirror isn't just stylish — it's perfect for checking your hair and makeup one last time before heading out the door, ensuring you're serving Main Character energy all day.
Target
Promising review:"This mirror is bigger than I expected but the perfect size for my entryway. The template provided was great and made it super easy to hang." — Jackie
4. An eye-catching jewelry display that looks like it belongs in The Met, giving your space a sophisticated touch. Perfect for showing off that fabulous new ring you impulsively bought from a fancy little boutique while on vacation.
Target
Promising review:"I'm so happy with this purchase, and here is why: first off, it's aesthetically pleasant. Easy to clean, you may wash it and polish it with Windex for extra shine. Currently I have my wedding ring on it, however it can hold over 10 rings. Pretty to look at. I have one in my make up vanity, and another one in my kitchen because it matches perfectly with the decor and kitchen colors. Great quality, and very easy to clean. Perfect size. Price is affordable too!" — maryj
5. A sleek console table with an extra shelf is the ideal spot to keep your ever-growing TBR pile in view, so you'll actually read the next one instead of buying another book (maybe).
Target
Promising review:"This table is fantastic! So well made and matches our decor perfectly. It was fairly easy to assemble, but I needed a helper to put the stretcher/brace bar on. Also has twist levelers on the feet to stabilize it on an unlevel floor. If you're considering buying this table, DO IT!" — Michelle
6. An ultra-cozy ottoman that feels like a lifesaver after a long day on your feet. Time to cuddle up and finally finish the book you haven't stopped thinking about all day.
Target
Promising review:"I love this ottoman! It's lightweight enough to slide around the room as needed, but is also very sturdy and stays in place when I'm resting against it, have my feet up, etc. I also love that I can set a glass on top and am not too worried about it easily falling over. You never know with cozy ottomans like this. I'm definitely pleased!" — M
Price: $329.99
7. A decorative Acacia wood bowl to catch all your odds 'n ends, so you can pretend to be effortlessly organized while actually just hiding clutter in plain sight.
Target
Promising review:"Super cute bowl! I bought this to redecorate our master bath; it's on the tub's ledge and holds bath bombs and a selection of soaps. It really ties in with a natural and wicker-themed bathroom. Good quality, maybe a little expensive for its purpose, but still bought it." — ItsMeGretch
8. An industrial bar cart that's the perfect spot to whip up margaritas for Taco Tuesday or dirty martinis before a Real Housewives marathon.
Target
Promising review:"Worth every penny! Functional, cute, and super easy to put together. The wood has pretty grain patterns and doesn't look like cheap laminate. You cannot beat this for the cost!" — SOFsMOM
9. A floating shelf with wooden shelves and metal details to make your space feel more personal. Style it with souvenirs from your last vacation to inspire your next one, framed photos of your dog, and your favorite scented candle to make every day a spa day.
10. A bench for your entryway or bedroom that lets you take a seat while lacing up those stylish new boots—because looking this good requires a little extra effort.
Target
Promising review:"Bought this bench for my entryway and I am in love! It was very easy to assemble and the end result was so chic. The white cushion really brightens up my entryway, and the combo of the metal and wood makes it both classic and modern." — athu
11. A set of four stone salt agate coasters protects your table while making even your most basic iced coffee look Instagram-worthy.
Target
Promising review:"These stone salt agate coasters make a statement. They are high quality and unique. Each one has a different veining and tone. They have a little grey but mostly warm brown tones. They are heavy and look amazing on our table. They are more affordable than similar pieces on the internet, which cost twice as much. I recommend these to anyone looking for statement items for their home. Great value and quality!" — Jeb Lia
12. A wine decanter that is as much an art piece as it is functional. It'll make even a budget-friendly bottle look fancy enough to impress your guests.
Target
Promising review:"I love this decanter! It looks so chic and beautiful, just as an art piece alone. And it's sure to wow any house guest." — Robertha
13. An entryway organizer to catch your mail, keys, and coat so you can finally get out the door on time—because your friends are tired of finishing their drinks before you even show up to brunch.
Target
Promising review:"This envelope letter holder/ organizer is just what we were looking for! The envelope is perfect for holding your mail or important documents. The hooks are functional and can hold a good amount of weight. Easy to hang/screw to the wall. The color is a cognac brown and compliments the gold bar and hooks. Definitely recommend!" — SimSim
14. A modern ring vase that's the easiest way to make it seem like you have your life together—just add some fresh (or faux) blooms and watch your space transform.
Target
15. An artificial plant adds a touch of greenery to any room without the responsibility, so you can stop hosting weekly plant funerals and finally keep something "alive."
Target
Promising review:"This is my favorite faux plant! I love the neutral pot and the height of this plant. Up close, it is pretty plastic, but it's one of the better plastic plants I've seen if that makes sense! I've moved it from several rooms, and it looks great everywhere I put it! I am even considering getting another one." — KaitlinS
16. A cute woven basket that makes storing extra throw pillows or shoes effortless—finally, no more tripping over random stuff in the dark or stepping on Lego bricks (ouch).
Target
Promising review:"These cotton-coil baskets are very nice! The deep gray color and faux leather handles add a stylish and modern touch to your home. They are very versatile and can be used in any room. I use one for mail and a large one by the door to hold a few pairs of shoes I frequently wear. I'll use these newest ones on the shelf under my coffee table! The baskets don't collapse in on themselves like some fabric baskets do. They are very sturdy and durable. I recommend these baskets for your home or office!" — Lizminor22
17. An affordable table lamp with a faux marble base to add soft lighting and just enough luxury to make your space feel extra polished.
Target
Promising review:"My bed, frame, and furniture in my room are all white and very understated, so I just needed two minimalist lamps on the shorter side for each bedside table. I wanted nothing to compete with the larger antique lamp on my dresser. These are perfect!!!! It is absolutely what I was looking for, and the price is unbelievable. If I didn't like them, no problem, I would just return. Thank you, Target!" — Wahine123
18. A sleek toilet brush holder proves even your cleaning supplies can match your aesthetic — because good design should never stop at the bathroom door.
Target
Promising review:"Sleek, nondescript, functional. And incredibly affordable. I recently moved and left my old version of this toilet brush behind. I went to three stores looking for this model and eventually ordered it online. LOVE this brush." — ZEW
Price: $12.99
19. A two-tiered tray you can style for every season or use to display your favorite snacks because who says decor can't also be delicious?
Target
Promising review:"Not all decor is farmhouse/rustic style, but almost every single tiered tray on the market is farmhouse/rustic. I wanted a tiered tray that was much more contemporary — this is IT!!!! I absolutely love this. It's sturdy, very stylish, and easily fits into my modern-look home. Perfect in every way!" — Sonia
Price: $32.99
20. A set of farmhouse-inspired wall art will have you daydreaming about a quiet life in the countryside — until you remember that waking up at dawn to feed chickens is not the vibe.
Target
Promising review:"This is exactly what I needed for the space. I wanted to remove some farmhouse decor for something a little more modern that would still match my antique table. These are just the right size and color for my dining room." — NashvilleTN
21. A blanket ladder keeps your ever-growing throw collection organized—so when you inevitably buy another, it already has a home. Plus, it makes grabbing blankets for an impromptu fort-building session way easier.
22. An accent rug adds vintage charm and cozy vibes to your home, and since it's machine washable, it can actually survive your daily life.
Target
Promising review:"Absolutely in love with this rug! I have the smaller door ones in the bedroom for pops of color beside our white bed spread and the runner in front of the back door. We have a problem with our dog peeing on rugs and I love that you can just throw this in the washer. It's such high quality, not cheap thin material like the last washable rug I bought from Target! We don't need anything under it to keep it in place either. I also love that it doesn't suck up at all in our Dyson. I'm seriously obsessed with this rug." — SB
Price: $30+ (available in two sizes)
23. A decorative brass bowl that instantly elevates your space—whether you're using it to display fancy chocolates, an assortment of decorative orbs, or just your car keys in the most glamorous way possible.
Target
Promising review:"Love this tray! Looks so elegant! The perfect shade of brass!! Not too brown, and not too yellow or orange. Perfect size for bathroom counter, kitchen corner, or coffee bar. It can also go on a console or coffee table if you're looking for a small tray. Its gorgeous color is easy to keep clean. Put felt pad stickers on the bottom of rough items to avoid scratching." — Busy Mom
Price: $20
24. An accent pouf doubles as a stylish seat, so your guests have a comfy spot during movie marathons, game nights, or deep late-night chats about which Taylor Swift album is superior.
Target
Promising review:"This works great in my living room as an ottoman and extra seating for guests or puzzling at the coffee table. It looks good, a nice size and pretty comfy. Fabric looks good with my blue furniture, it is rag strips but it doesn't look too cheap. Have only had it a week or so - the real test will be how well it holds up. So far it does need to be patted back up into shape after an adult had been sitting on it, but that's normal with use." — NA_eats
Price: $76.49 (originally $89.99)
25. A set of two square chenille pillows to instantly make your couch cozier — so you can settle in for a Disney movie marathon and pretend you're at a luxury home theater.
Target
Promising review:"I love these pillows. They are extremely comfortable, soft, and velvety. They're really high-quality and affordable for what you get. Honestly, I might even order more." — MS
Price: $20 (available in six colors)

15 Random Skills Before '90s, According To Older Adults

Before technology blew up into what we know it to be today, people had to remember random skills in the '90s just to get through life. Think: maneuvering a TV antenna and learning cursive. So we asked the BuzzFeed Community: "People born before 1990, what trivial skill do you possess that no one uses anymore?" So many people shared their talents with us. Here's what they said below. "As a former Blockbuster manager, I could still repair a VHS tape if I had a splicer. Lol, haven't used that skill in a while." —laurae4525fb3d9 "The paper fortune tellers, I make dirty versions for my husband to this day, LOL." "I can drive a stick shift." —fuzzybritches"Because I drove a stick shift for so long, it's muscle memory to rest my right hand on my shifter even though I don't have to shift anymore. My mom saw it one day and thought it was hilarious."—wagrobanite "I can make an artist's canvas and prime it. Now you can get these at Walmart!" "I can make a weed pipe out of a Coke can." —keetawnandon "I can correctly use a Thomas Guide (each map book) to locate a street. You'd look up the street in the back of the book to find which page and which 1" grid it was. Columns being lettered and rows numbered." "I can sing all of the lyrics to the 'Library Card' song from Arthur. That should count for something. Oh! And the ZOOM theme song." —theicebox720 "I can run programs in MS-DOS." "I knew how to set up two VCRs so that you can make a copy of a movie from the video store, and remember to remove the plastic tab so no one can record over it. Lol." —bbrownjrcrc "I remember texting with a Nokia without looking at the phone and noticing my now husband peering over at me like I'm a freak. Well, I could do it flawlessly because 1) Practice, practice, and 2) The dude's thumbs are like fat breakfast sausages; you can't even regular smartphone text with those babies." "When those old cassettes would snag in the cassette player: 1) how to rewind it with a pencil, and 2) if it tore, how to splice it back together to kinda sorta play again." —deannpetrachkoff "Here's a truly trivial skill: I can fold a sheet of paper up into a cute little self-contained envelope. That was important for passing notes in class — I wouldn't want anyone to read it but the intended recipient." "Ok, SO brown paper bag book covers — I actually DID THAT recently and was pleased I could still recall how." —cailian13 "I was in class of '94 and majored in film production. I learned how to thread a projector, load and remove 16 mm film from a camera (make sure the core isn't stuck in the film because it must go back in the camera!), and to edit by *splicing and taping* the film back together. You had to be very thoughtful about editing. Anything cut had to be tracked or would be lost on the editing room floor, or it would take forever to figure out which of the cuts was the one you wanted. And you better not cut off too many frames or you'd have problems either from having too many short splices (which could cause projector issues) or from cutting away too early in the shot, which would look weird. Don't even get me started on lighting and sound! Now, anyone with an iPhone and an app could potentially be a filmmaker!" "Another skill that's no longer needed (thank goodness) is that I can pin a diaper on a baby without sticking them with the pin." —cathyholm People born before the '90s, do you have a trivial skill?
