As a renter, I have to be creative if I want to make any noticeable changes to my apartment. I haven’t hopped on the tile sticker trend yet, but I pour my full personality into as much furniture and decor as I can — and then one day I thought, can I show off my style using functional home goods, too? I’m not talking cookware, planters, or storage solutions; I mean tools and cleaning supplies that are normally all practicality, no creativity. Happily, the answer is a resounding yes! I got my hands on a must-have item from Staff, a brand dedicated to brightening up the home space. Allow me to introduce The Plunger, the only plunger I’ve ever wanted to keep out on display.

I’ve had The Plunger for nearly a year, and it’s such a better alternative for me than a regular old plunger. It measures 23.4″ from top to bottom, and the handle is made from a vivid acrylic that comes in four bold colors. You’ll see Staff’s signature bow-tied smiley at the top and a shiny bronze ring at the bottom, adding a touch of flair to a utilitarian item. It actually looks so chic that you won’t want to hide it away when company comes over.

As for its quality, rest assured that I’ve used The Plunger on a clogged toilet, and it solved the problem without issue. It’s easy to clean, and the drip tray is so useful to have on hand. I don’t have to worry about waiting for the plunger to dry before setting it aside, and there’s no lingering unpleasant scent, either.

It’s refreshing to see that Staff prioritizes the appearance and quality of its products. Sure, I could get by with any old plunger, but it’s nice being able to dress up purely functional household tools and incorporate them into my space. After all, I’ve used a wall-mounted toilet brush, so why not a plunger, too?
