Scientists claim the universe is expanding, but they haven’t been to our house. You feel us? When it comes to saving space, more is never enough. Each of the items below is both more, and less. (Physics is full of such paradoxes.)
1. An entryway shelf that streamlines your exits.
Hang this by your door and free up a drawer. All the little things you need as you dash out—keys, sunglasses, phone, wallet—will find a place on it. You can even put reminder notes on it with a magnet. For example, “Buy that cute catch-all shelf.”

Look at your bedroom. See any space for remotes? Magazines? Tablet? Neither do we. This pocket creates a place for them right where you need it: next to your bed. Now, cocooning will be even cocoonier.

7. A bin that stores shopping bags to use for trash.
Plastic shopping bags. Sigh. They can be almost impossible to avoid. But at least you can give them a second use with this modern style waste bin designed to store and then use them, all without taking up any extra space.
