From getting separate bed blankets for couples to using smart plugs to set up Christmas lights, it’s the little things that truly make a big difference.

"I'm a renter, and I finally installed a better showerhead this year, after just using the default head in all of my apartments for almost 20 years. A 10/10, highly recommend."

"LOL! It reminds me of the home phone we had as a kid. You know, the one where you have the base on the kitchen wall and a long cord that you drag all over the house."

"My parents have been married 50 years, and whenever they're asked for advice on a long and happy marriage, they always say, 'Separate blankets!'"

"We have a soft-close toilet seat at our home, and every time I'm at a hotel, I completely forget that they aren't usually soft close, and the slam startles me 😂."

"Smart outlets are one of my favorite purchases. During Halloween and Christmas, we’re using multiple outlets for inflatables, house lights, and tree lights. The smart outlets allow you to have everything synced so they all turn on at the same time."

"Lighting can absolutely make a huge difference in the way you feel in your room. Get some shoulder-height (when you are sitting) lamps for your living room. You will notice a shift in how much more relaxed you feel when you use those instead of the overheads."

"I asked my dad to install a gooseneck kitchen faucet as my birthday present last year. One of the best gifts ever."

"I have a curved shower curtain rod at my new apartment, and it is much better! It feels bigger, and the shower liner doesn’t ever touch my arm!"

"Every time I've moved, I put that off for way too long, then finally break down and do it, and the house feels so much better to be in."

"Seconding this. We used to have the blinds down all the time in the house because it was easy to look into the house. But it was always dark and moody in the house because of it. We put a textured glass–looking window film on and it looks beautiful. Now we can let the natural light in without any privacy issues."

"I have cabinets that end at either side above my sink. They wrap around from there. I found the perfect-size magnetic knife holders to add on the sides of cabinets. Now I can just pop the knife right back in its place after washing it in the sink. I hand-wash all my knives anyhow, so it is the absolute perfect place to store them. They were cheap at the restaurant supply store."

"I have mine set to automatically turn on at 10% with my alarm in the morning, then slowly get brighter. It's also nice to have colored ones so you can turn the light on red if you get up in the middle of the night — lets you see without blinding yourself. I set up routines with Google Assistant so I can call out code words for what setting I want: off, full bright, red, dim...it's beyond convenient."

"I HATED my double sink. Made it impossible to wash anything bigger than a saucepan. Found a bigger single stainless steel sink on clearance at Home Depot for $75. Best upgrade we have done since moving in a year ago."

"We got a Roborock. Impressive cleaner, I must say!"

"This! I did not realize I needed it until I got it. So much better now, especially with adding doorbell, outdoor cameras, and smart switches plus a multitude of other devices."

"Got rechargeable motion sensor lights for the closets. They mount with magnets, and you recharge them every two to three months. Game changer for closets at night."

"We got a Breville the Barista Pro, based on recommendations in the espresso forum, and we love it. For $800, it paid itself off, based on no more Sbux runs, in like three months."

"I get mad when I have to use a different toilet now. I’m truly converted."
