Whether it’s creating a cosy home or making daily routines smoother, Japanese lifestyle brand Muji never fails to make life easier. Muji may be known for its minimalist aesthetic, but true fans know it’s the thoughtfully designed and timeless products that make the brand. Here are 10 underrated products you’ll want in your shopping cart!
10 underrated products you need from Muji
1. Travel bag hanger: A nifty but mighty tool
Small and unassuming, we’ll admit this travel bag hanger doesn’t look that impressive at first glance. But bring it along in your day-to-day life and you’ll quickly see its worth. Simply hook it onto a sturdy surface like a table or chair, and easily hang your bag or other items. A nifty little item that keeps your belongings off the floor and your chairs free? Get us a dozen of these hangers, please!
2. Portable lint roller: On-the-go grooming
Say goodbye to plucking lint, dust and pet hair from your clothes. Whip out this portable lint roller and watch these pesky debris roll off your clothes with little effort. We’re obsessed with how lightweight and fun-sized it is, making it the perfect item to bring along on your travels.
3. Porcelain beige ladle stay: Your mess-free ladle rest
Any cooking enthusiasts in the house? Here’s a kitchen addition you never knew you needed: Muji’s porcelain beige ladle stay. This adorable holder helps your ladle stay securely in place while looking stylish as a kitchen accessory. And it’s not just for cooking; this tool will come in handy when serving soups, beverages, desserts and gravy, too.
4. Foldable cutting mat: Clean cuts anywhere
Forget traditional cutting boards. This upgraded product from Muji adds an array of perks to this boring office accessory. We’re talking about the foldable cutting mat that will keep your tables and surfaces scratch-free. When it’s not in use, the A3 mat can be easily folded into A4 size and conveniently placed out of sight. Space-saving and portable – what’s not to love?
5. Portable shoe horn: Easy slip-ons and offs
The next time you force your foot into a shoe, think twice. Repeatedly forcing your way into tight shoes can cause the heel to fold or crease, wear out the back lining, and lead to premature wear and tear.
Instead, get a portable shoe horn. It’s your fuss-free solution to slipping in and out of shoes without struggle. Bonus points for Muji’s compact version – it comes with a clip that can be easily attached to any bag.
6. Stainless steel hooking wire clip: Simple yet versatile
Notice a pattern yet? These products from Muji look simple, but they’re carefully crafted for practical use and to enhance your life. Take these stainless steel hooking wire clips, for instance. They offer temporary hanging storage for knick-knacks, fitting well anywhere from your kitchen and bathroom to your office and living room.
Made from stainless steel, they’re durable, resistant to rust and corrosion, and can withstand exposure to moisture. Put them to use wherever you need that extra space!
7. Non-stick scissors: For effortless clean cuts
A sleek pair of scissors is a household essential in our books. Whether it’s for cutting tape and paper or opening packages, we always find ourselves reaching out for one. Unlike your typical pair, these non-stick scissors feature a curved blade surface design which prevents adhesive materials like tape from sticking. Plus, the curve blade allows easy cutting from any position, be it from the tip or the base.
8. Steel power strip storage: Goodbye, chaotic cables
Ditch the desk clutter with Muji’s steel power strip storage! Hiding power strips and cables, this storage must-have is a lifesaver for organisation. Beyond the aesthetics, it also prevents dust accumulation, allows easy plugging and unplugging of devices, and is long-lasting.
Oh, and no need to worry about any pesky issues. Ventilation slits on the bottom prevent overheating, while non-slip feet ensure stable installation. It’s truly a home essential.
9. Silicone scraper: Clean every last nook and cranny
Is dishwashing your least favourite chore? We know one thing that’ll make you dread it less. Meet the silicone scraper, a godsend when scrubbing your pots, dishes and pans clean.
Made of a soft, gentle material, it effectively rids grime and dirt without scratching your kitchen tools. Plus, the flexible design makes it a breeze to clean all the nooks and crannies. For extra versatility, use it for cooking, stirring and scooping food.
10. Water pot with strainer: Cold brews made easy
Tea lovers, you’ll want this in your kitchen arsenal. Designed for cold brews, this versatile water pot with a strainer (available in one- or two-litre sizes) boasts an easy-to-remove tea pack holder and a wide mouth for fuss-free cleaning. Thanks to the spill-proof design, it can even be placed vertically and horizontally. Just brew your favourite tea and sip away with ease.
