Stylish home organization products that look way more expensive than they are
"Umbra Bellwood Cosmetic Organizer
If you’re short on countertop space in your bathroom, this three-tier organizing solution can help. It uses vertical space to maximize the storage area for your beauty and bathroom products, such as soaps, lotions and makeup. The sleek, modern design doesn’t hurt either.
Umbra Bellwood Over-the-Toilet Shelf System
Bathroom storage is notoriously tricky, as it’s tough to find items that are both functional and not an eyesore. This over-the-toilet shelf defies the odds by adding three shelves above your toilet in a sophisticated way thanks to its modern look."

7 Best Bar Carts for Entertaining in Style of 2024
"Most Versatile
Umbra Bellwood Bar Cart
We think this Umbra Bellwood Bar Cart is like a smaller, more affordable version of the Blu Dot Longday Cart. It’s a thoughtfully designed piece that can be used as a drink caddy, side table, portable pantry storage, or extra bathroom shelving.
Made of powder-coated steel with eucalyptus wood accents and rubberized wheels – not to mention a 30-pound capacity per shelf – the sturdy design rolls smoothly and is unlikely to wobble or tip. The top tray is also removable, which is convenient when prepping for guests.
While the materials are weather-friendly, the brand doesn't explicitly say the Bellwood Cart is suitable for outdoor use. Still, it's among the most versatile options we found in terms of functionality, use cases, and appearance. The only other thing to note is that assembly is required, and it involves connecting lots of small parts."

The 8 Best Dish-Drying Racks of 2024, Tested and Reviewed
"Best Mat
Umbra UDRY Rack and Microfiber Dish Drying Mat
This multi-use dish rack, which combines a microfiber dish-drying mat and a plastic dish-drainer rack, allows you to dry an assortment of items all at once. We liked that there were separate compartments for utensils and four designated hooks for wine glasses. The Umbra UDRY Rack and Microfiber Dish Drying Mat additionally has 20 designated slots for dishes, and the slots are deep enough to accommodate all types of dishes, even larger-sized dinner plates. Meanwhile, the wide drying mat provides plenty of space for "hand-wash only" items and heavier cookware, something our other picks didn't really have the space or stability for.
The elevated wine rack is a nice feature, and it can be removed when it’s not in use. Our only complaint was the wine rack extends beyond the drying mat, so when you’re drying wine glasses, they drip right onto the counter. Despite that hiccup, we were still very impressed with the overall performance. Plus, the UDRY has a gray, low-profile design that looks nice in a modern kitchen."

The 14 Very Best Bar Carts “If we can integrate the bar cart into the rest of our lives, that’s definitely the way to do it.”
"Best bar cart overall
Umbra Bellwood Bar/Serving Cart
Umbra’s Bellwood bar cart is a solid, good-looking, and affordable option, with lots of small design and quality-of-life features that make it our best-in-class pick. I first heard about it from Lipkin, who said its silhouette reminded her of a classic Alvar Aalto tea trolley (more on that below). It “would look great in a minimalist home; I like how clean and graphic it is,” she said.
It’s not only cute, it’s highly practical. It’s made of durable materials — steel and bentwood — and the “tiers” are actually two low-lipped trays that rest in brackets on the cart. They’re secured with bumpers, so they don’t jostle around when the cart is moving, and the fact that they don’t latch or lock into place makes it incredibly easy to lift them off for cleaning. (The trays’ powder-coated steel finish is wipeable, for smaller spills.) The two wooden front wheels are coated in an outer ring of rubber, which makes for smoother rolling, and the bentwood loop that serves as both back legs and handle feels high-quality and durable."

Which Nanoleaf Smart Lights Should You Buy?
"Best Desk Lamp
Nanoleaf Umbra Cup Smart Lamp
This little desk lamp is a perfect mix of sleek style, great utility, and all the fun colors of a smart light. Designed by Umbra, a home design group based out of Canada, and powered by Nanoleaf, the lamp is bright, fun, and easy to use. You control it just like any other Nanoleaf light, choosing your lamp’s color on the color wheel or from various Scenes and Presets, and you turn it on and off with the manual rotating switch on the front. The lamp is low, but it was bright enough to light up my desk at night while I used my computer or did a little hobby painting. There’s also the built-in pen cup that I wish was deeper; you can fit pens in it, but they’ll sit at more of an deeper angle than in a deeper cup. It was the perfect size for things like lipstick, though."

The 10 Best Curtain Rods of 2024
"Best Overall: Umbra Cappa Curtain Rod
There’s a virtue to simplicity, and that’s what you get with this elegant curtain rod from Umbra. Available in three finishes—nickel steel, brass, and brushed black—this curtain rod is ideal for light- or medium-weight curtains that weigh up to 22 pounds.
That means you’ll need to look for another option if you have heavier curtains or drapes to hang up. With heavier curtains, buyers note that the rods may dip in the middle or it may feel as if they’re not up to supporting the weight of the fabric.
The budget-friendly Umbra curtain rod comes with everything you need for installation. Plus, this curtain rod works with most curtain styles, including grommet, back- and top-tab, and rod pocket curtains, and the curtain rod has a sleek finish that looks more sophisticated than the price point. And, these curtain rods are a great fit for a variety of spaces—they’ll go well with bedroom curtains, and with living room ones, too.
Best for Blackout: Umbra Twilight Blackout Curtain Rod
If you’re hanging blackout curtains, most likely your top priority is having the ability to fully shut out all light. These Umbra Twilight Blackout Curtain Rod curtain rods, which have a wrap-around or French return design, help you do that courtesy of a curtain rod that’s designed to curve and meet the wall at either end. Thanks to this feature, curtain panels hang flush against the wall, blocking any outside light from entering.
The Umbra Twilight Blackout Curtain Rod is available in three sizes, has a 0.75-inch diameter, and supports up to 22 pounds of weight. Choose from several colors, including nickel and brass.
If you opt for the longer length, and use a second bracket, it might be a bit challenging to block out the light since the bracket introduces a gap. They come with all mounting hardware, making installation a breeze."

The 10 Best Kitchen Trash Cans of 2024
"Best Swing-Top: Umbra Venti Kitchen Trash Can
Maybe you want something simple, like a classic swing-top design? The Umbra Venti Swing Top is a great pick because it features a lid that swings open and closes smoothly and has a high 16 gallon capacity. The unit is perfect for large families who need to easily dispose of and conceal a lot of trash on a daily basis. You can also use trash can deodorizer packs to ensure no smells escape the swing top.
And although it’s 35 inches tall, it’s just 14.6 inches around, so you can fit the sleek and unobtrusive can in just about any usable corner so it works with a variety of kitchen layouts. While it comes in multiple colors, none of them are actually metal—the color of the plastic just mimics the look of it. But if you can get past the plastic construction, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by all of the benefits. The can is lightweight even as it accommodates a lot of garbage. This makes it both easy to empty and easy to clean—all you have to do is wipe it with a damp cloth."

You’ll also be happy to learn that the rubber mat is dishwasher-safe, so you don’t have to scrub off the runoff or other residue. Also, because the dish rack folds up compactly, it’s completely portable. Bring it on your next camping trip, and don’t worry about where to place your clean dishes at the end of the night. And, functionality aside, we love that this particular rack isn’t an eyesore like many of the other racks you’ve likely come across. For only $30, the sling dish rack will declutter your kitchen and upgrade the look of your countertop. What more could you possibly ask for?"

This Ultra-Stylish Cabinet Organizer Will Instantly Declutter Your Tea Collection (And More!)
"Measuring less than a foot in width, this organizer is compact but still manages to hold a lot. That’s because it offers three roomy tiers of storage space, where you can place all kinds of packaged eats, such as granola bars, tea bags, grab-and-go chip bags, and more. Because the tiers sit at different levels, you’ll always be able to see exactly what’s inside your cabinet and keep track of what needs restocking. The organizer’s dividers are also removable, so if you find that its shelves are too narrow to accommodate a certain snack, remove a divider, and you’re all set! You can forever say goodbye to an overcrowded pantry and cupboard. “If you’re someone who also needs everything to belong to a proper place, this organizer is for you,”"
