8 Surprisingly Useful Home Items You’ll Be Glad You Have
When was the last time someone raved to you about their plant rack? Or gushed over a mattress vacuum cleaner that changed their life? Exactly. With home products, the loudest voices usually belong to the big items, from fridges (smart or not) to air fryers that apparently “do everything”.
But, hidden in the corners of our homes are some products or items that also make our lives easier, cleaner, and happier. This article spotlights the best of these home products.
1. Air Purifier
I know the importance of having a home where the air feels as refreshing as a cool mountain breeze. As someone with sinus issues, I understand the importance of having clean air. If you’re fighting off the sneezes from seasonal allergies or just trying to keep everyday dust at bay, an air purifier is a rewarding investment.
The Maxi Air Filter adapts to your needs with auto, turbo, and sleep modes. Auto mode adjusts the fan speed based on real-time air quality, while turbo mode rapidly cleans the air in larger spaces or after intense activities like cooking.
The built-in air quality indicator provides immediate feedback on the room’s air quality. It changes colour to indicate when air purity needs to be improved.

2. Plant Stand
If you’re a plant parent with many plants hanging around, a plant stand is a lovely piece to add to your home. Seeing your plants arranged in a beautiful display is a breathtaking sight.
This plant stand can support up to 30kg of plants. It also features three head grow lights that provide plants with the optimal lighting conditions needed to thrive. It features eight tiers, and the tree shape is a visually appealing addition that should blend well with your home's aesthetic.

3. Blankets for Couches
I daresay that a blanket on a couch is the best way to create a homey ambience. Warm and soft to the touch, your home needs a couch blanket if it doesn’t already have one.
After a long day, there's nothing cosier than curling up on the couch with the ultra-cosy Freeda throw blanket. It's perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth or for enhancing the look of your couch.

4. Macrame Hanging Shelf
These shelves can house flower pots, books, photo frames, magazines, bathroom sundries, and more. They also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a home. They are easy to hang in any area of your home, from the living room to the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.

5. Scented Candles and Diffusers
You may want to raise pitchforks at me for this inclusion because many homes now use scented candles and diffusers. But, with their effectiveness, I also feel they’re not spoken about enough.
The Pure Essence ROSSA Home Diffuser is an excellent choice for those seeking a warm, luxurious fragrance. It features notes of Damask Rose, smoky oud wood, and praline, offering a rich, opulent scent. It works without heat or water, using only air pressure to break essential oils into micro-particles for diffusion. It offers a more intense fragrance experience and is ideal for those who prefer a stronger scent.

6. Bar Cart
If you love wines but don’t have a bar, bar carts do the exact thing while adding to the aesthetics of your space. Those with bars can also have bar carts since they are smaller and more portable.

7. Bed Sheet Suspenders
It's not fun when you lay your beds, but the ends keep coming out. Bed sheet suspenders are the answer. They keep your sheets in place and always ensure a perfectly flat and tidy bed. With this, you won’t need to constantly readjust your sheets.
Price: ₦9,999. Where to Buy: Jumia.
8. Mattress Vacuum Cleaner
Our mattress is an important part of our homes. We spend tons of hours there, and as a result, it collects dust, dirt, and even germs. Mattress Vacuum Cleaners help suck the dust out of the mattress, with the added benefit of UV lights that kill bacteria.
