We don’t mean to brag, but Bendo’s CLIP wall hook went viral on our TikTok earlier this month — they’re clearly doing something right. Luxe’s version of this best-selling paperclip design features ultra-modern, neutral, and metallic finishes for a sleek, high-quality look. Each of these sturdy wall hooks can hold up to 13 lbs. And they can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them so much more than just fun wall decor (watch interior decorator Danny Clarke put it to the test on TikTok!). Use it to hang hats, towels, bags, and scarves or to display and store vinyl records and other valuable items. Just one note! Bendo items are carefully shipped from their home base in Australia, and are 100% worth the wait.

Open space shelves are the holy grail of small space living. Use it in kitchen cabinets to create extra shelves where there are no shelves, on your worktops for double storage, or in your home office as a laptop lift. The clean, modern look of whitewashed wood and white steel legs makes these levers as impressive as they are comfortable.

A no secret weapon for making small spaces appear larger, mirrors are essential to add depth and natural light to a room. The FACETT mirror cleverly turns this look upside down thanks to its 3D design that gives depth to a typical flat object. Delicate edge cuts give this modern wall mirror a sleek, geometric look while the fun 3D aesthetic doesn’t take itself too seriously.

When you live in a smaller space, the less you have on floors and surfaces, the better. This is why wall-mounted lighting fixtures like the YOY Wall Light from Innermost are so essential. Unlike your typical wall sconce, YOY lights back on the wall in the shape of a lampshade, creating a modern optical illusion that even your simplest friends will appreciate. Cleverly hidden within the fixture’s crisp white aluminum and steel profile, the YOY light source shows off a strong glow that is both functional and decorative.
