There’s nothing I enjoy more than designers who think outside of the box. When that happens, they certainly push the boundaries of creativity with their imaginations. And as a result, we end up with a product that’s not only beautiful to look at but also serves an important function.
Today, I’m going to share with you just a few of these brilliant ideas in hopes that they will inspire you and make your day a little brighter. So let’s go!

This Park Bench
Wouldn’t it be convenient if there were umbrellas near park benches, huh? Well, this park here thought of a brilliant idea. They made a lampost into a stand-alone umbrella, and they placed it near the bench. Don’t you love that?
This Toaster Cord
Is it just me, or do you sometimes struggle with plugging and unplugging your toaster? Why can’t they make the cords a little easier to use, huh? Well, check this one out. This one comes with a handy hole in the middle to put your finger inside of it. How cool is that?
This Tesla Charging Station
Check this out somebody had the bright idea to make this Tesla charging station look vintage. Oh my goodness, I love that. I wish more designers would draw from things in the past like this. Do you agree with me?
These Doors
Wouldn’t it be cool if every glasses shop had door handles like these? Together with the silhouette on this door, it looks just like John Lennon. Imagine that? I don’t know about you but I think it’s pretty clever.
This Mousepad
Oh my goodness, what have we got here? Am I seeing what I’m seeing? Is this person using a mousepad that looks like a carpet? That’s is the funniest and the most inventive thing I’ve seen in a while. And now I want one.
These Outdoor Benches
You can quickly recognize that this here is a library because the benches outside look like books. I think this is such a cool idea and a great way to advertise a business, no? Kudos to them for coming up with a great design with function.
This Toilet Paper Holder
Who here loved playing tic-tac-toe as a child? Does it bring back a lot of good memories, huh? Well, if you’re longing for that childhood vibe, why not get yourself this tic-tac-toe toilet paper holder, and then you can play a game with your kids or your spouse.
This Sushi Bar
If you’re as obsessed with sushi as this place, I bet you will appreciate their attention to detail. I think it’s so awesome that this sushi restaurant put some extra thought into their seating decor. What do you think of that?
This Tea Mug
Are you a tea or coffee lover? I like both, but I’m more of a tea drinker. And I don’t usually steep my tea for too long. Therefore I’m always looking for a saucer to put the used tea bag on but with this mug, I wouldn’t have to look that far at all.
This Bus Interior
Riding public transit isn’t always fun. So how can you make the trip more calm and pleasurable for the people relying on it, huh? Well, in this instance, the ceiling of the bus has been painted to look like it’s a forest, and I really like that.
This Door Entrance
Don’t you love it when businesses are clever when it comes to their headquarters? Well, that’s exactly what this blender company did here with their front entrance. But I think it would have been even cooler if the blender was blending something, eh?
This Teaching Book
How old were you when you learned how to tie a shoe? Hmm, I don’t really remember. I’d have to ask my mom. But I wish I had a book that would teach me how to do it that looked like an actual shoe. How cool is that, huh?
This Nifty Bench
Wouldn’t it be neat if park benches came with dual purposes? For example, this one here has a built-in bike stand. I bet all the cyclists in the area really appreciate this. Now they can rest while their bike stays put.
This Toaster
Holy moly! I had no idea there was a Bob Ross toaster that would embed his image in your bread, haha. Have you seen anything like that? This is both brilliant and hilarious. Am I right? I can’t stop laughing, haha!
These Band-Aids
Have you ever gone to buy some Band-Aids and wished that they actually matched your skin tone? If you have, I’m happy to report that they do exist now, and I think it’s pretty wonderful to see, huh?
This Cat Bed
Oh my goodness, look at this. I recently got a cat bed, but it wasn’t as fancy as this. Anybody who’s a Winnie-the-Pooh fan will definitely get a kick out of this. Awe! And the kitty looks like he’s having the best sleep of his life, too.
This ‘Chork’
Who here likes to eat their Thai food with chopsticks? I admit I’m not that skilled, and I do need a fork. However, this one Thai restaurant came out with a nifty idea. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a “chork” — chopsticks and a fork in one. How do you like this idea?
This Sponge Holder
Fans of SpongeBob will definitely appreciate the humor here. How would you like to keep your sponge in this little holder, eh? Oh, my gosh. Isn’t it the cutest? And I bet the kids will want to help out in the kitchen more if you get this, hee-hee.
What did I tell you?
Aren’t these designs creative or what? I especially love the ones that incorporate function and fun. You can’t get better than that, huh? Let me ask you: which one is your favorite so far? I’m a toss-up between the cat bed and the SpongeBob holder, hee-hee. I need those two in my life.
