Hand vacuums are incredibly useful but tend to be aesthetically challenged (or bland at best). We like this simple industrial-looking Metro Hand Vacuum, easily stashed in the broom closet.
Above: At just over a foot long, the stainless steel vacuum is easily stored and comes with a shoulder strap for easy toting. It includes three specialized vacuum heads; $117.15 from West Elm.
