Here we have a recently compiled list of “27 Relatively Simple Things That Will Make Your Home Extremely Awesome.” “Extremely awesome” might be a little bit of an overstatement, but I’m not a homeowner so maybe I’m a poor judge for that sort of thing.

The tips include uses for things like fake drawers (you can put extra electrical outlets or paper towels behind them, which makes me wonder if they could still be considered “fake”), long hallway shelves, something called a “sun tunnel,” and a lot more. There’s even a tip for tricking guests into thinking you spent more on your kitchen appliances.

So if you’re feeling handy, you may want to try some of these27 tricks for getting the most out of your home. Even if you don’t quite make it to “extremely awesome,” wouldn’t it still be nice to live in a place that’s at least somewhat awesome?
