Carrousel Style CD/DVD Changers With 300+ Capacity

When it comes to hi-fi, there are three types of people. The ones who buy an inexpensive hi-fi system and connect their MP3 player to it – that's a choice for comfort. Then you have the ones who buy expensive speakers and amplifiers and who use a regular CD player – that's a choice for quality. And then you have the people who use an MP3 player together with an expensive amplifier and speakers – that's money down the drain, at least in my opinion. But there are high-quality space-saving alternatives in the form of carrousel-style CD changers, from Pioneer or Sony for example. And some play DVDs too.

Tip – How To Hide Your Audio&Video Components Out Of Sight

I'm a fan of good music, and I do value a good-quality hi-fi & multimedia installation at home. But unless you're a fan of a pile of dust-collecting, flashing square boxes in your living room, AV components are not the prettiest of objects to have in your home. Unless you can shell out the money for a designer Bang & Olufsen installation, of course, in which case you can skip what follows, since you obviously want your investment to be seen by everyone.

Besides the fact that it looks really attractive, it also saves you space next to your bed.

Pack Mate Roll-Bag – Space-saving Solution for Travel Luggage

The vacuum solutions provided by SpaceBag, Pack Mate, and others are a great invention to compress your blankets, pullovers, and other items before storing them in your closets for a season. For travel purposes, they're less useful, because you'll need a vacuum cleaner before setting off for the return trip. It appears that many tents, caravans, and other holiday homes tend not to have these available. But with Pack Mate, you don't need a vacuum cleaner, making it ideal for your travel luggage.

Rakku Designs – Space-saving Revolving Shoe Rack

Are you a shoe addict? Then you're probably not happy with the storage space your hobby takes up in the closet.

Rakku Designs have designed an original solution to your problems.

Vacusac - Space Saving Storage for your Closet

In a climate like ours, the moment when you need to swap summer and winter clothes or blankets is never too far away. As is the painful confrontation with the space these things take up in your closet. The answer is the Pack Mate, the SpaceBag and other space saving Vacusac solutions. They have been around for some time now, but they are still my favorite space-saving solutions. They comprise plastic bags that you can vacuum after stuffing your stuff inside, thereby reducing the volume to a fraction of the original size. To achieve this, all you need is a simple household vacuum cleaner.
