    29 Helpful Things For Anyone Whose Home Was Designed By Someone Who Apparently Hates Storage Space

    Because you somehow have to fit all your stuff into the apartment with the great view *and* no closets.

    1. A three-tier wood-top corner shelf to help ~elevate~ your kitchen decor with interesting places to store extra coffee cups and accessories without making it feel super cramped.

    Promising review: "What a space maker! Plus, it's super attractive. I haven’t found a use yet for the hooks, but we’re optimistic." —Angel and Myke

    Get it from Amazon for $41.99.

    2. toilet paper holder with a door to discreetly hold cleaning supplies and a couple of extra rolls of TP so anyone can easily grab a new roll when they sit down and realize the current one is empty.

    Promising review: "This is perfect! I have a very small space between the wall and the toilet, and this fit there perfectly. I use it for toilet tissue and cleaning storage. Easy to assemble and completes my bathroom." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $35.68+ (available in five sizes/colors).

    3. An under-cabinet wineglass rack perfect for holding any glasses that are too tall or fragile to be crowded into a cabinet. These will turn heads and make your kitchen feel like a Michelin-star restaurant.

    Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wineglasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fits the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom

    Get it from Amazon for $21.93+ (available in four sizes and four colors).

    4. A super-sleek velvet ottoman designed so the top pops off (and you can flip to make a small table) to reveal some sneaky storage. You can fill this with basically anything, even an ever-growing candle collection, as one BuzzFeed editor does.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in, and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in seven colors).

    5. Some under-bed storage containers if you want to utilize the space under your bed. These are great for things such as swimsuits or extra winter layers that you only use at specific times of the year.

    Promising review: "My bed frame has a pretty low clearance (less than 6 inches). This fits under it easily since the material is soft. I used it to store all my sheets and blankets to open more space in the closet. I like that the tops are clear so you can see what's inside without having to dig through it." —Kyra

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in eight colors/size packs).

    6. diaper caddy designed to attach right to the side of the changing table so you can easily grab what you need when you're mid-change trying to keep a squirmy baby in place.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I love this as a space saver. There is so much storage in this. I have about 80 size one diapers in here. It has a great storage capacity. There is STILL space for me to put more in this organizer. I definitely recommend. Easy to attach on crib or hang elsewhere. Sturdy once you pack it." —Hernandez

    Get it from Amazon for $34.92 (available in two colors).

    7. A three-tier slide-out storage tower so you can ~squeeze~ the most out of your kitchen even if you have less cabinet space than you thought was possible. Plus, you'll know exactly where the baking powder is when you need it for a recipe.

    Promising review: "This storage tower is awesome and such a space saver. I live in a small apartment with little cabinet space, so I used this tower for my spices right in between my stove and refrigerator. It was also the easiest thing to assemble (no tools required)!" —S.J.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.50.

    8. vertical shoe tower you can put right next to your front door so you (and your guests) have a place to put shoes as soon as you enter the house. Nobody will trip over a pile of shoes on the ground any longer because your home wasn't designed with a coat closet right by the front door!!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This is perfect for what we are looking for. It had to fit in a smaller space and served to stop a puddle of shoes from forming at the doorstep. I am glad that we have smaller feet/shoes though as the spaces are a bit narrow. There are only two larger spaces that would work for high-top shoes or heeled boots. All the other spaces fit flats or low sneakers well." —Sara C.

    Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

    9. A three-tier console table thin enough to fit behind your couch and give you a place to keep DVDs, books, or any other random things that don't have a home in your living room. 

    Promising review: "I love this. It's a little rustic and a little modern. It's perfect for our little living room. We were debating how to store our DVDs since we eliminated our TV console. This was perfect because the DVDs are at the bottom and accessible to our kids. The other two shelves are used for decoration and knickknacks." — J. Cavalla

    Get it from Amazon for $149.99

    10. A three-tier bamboo rack you can hang on the wall or keep on the ground, but either way, it will give you a place to organize random things and make your home feel less cluttered.

    Promising review: "Recently removed the radiators out of my old house, and the bathroom had a narrow space that just looked empty. This fit perfectly, providing much needed storage, and keeps the room from looking cluttered. Easy to assemble and sturdy enough that I am not afraid of it falling apart. Love this!" —Amber Kuhn

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors).

    11. A two-tier expandable shelf specifically designed to fit under your sink to utilize all that wasted space so you can organize and hide away more toiletries and cleaning supplies.

    It expands from 15 to 25 inches.

    Promising review: "This product worked perfectly for my needs. I live in a small apartment and need all the space I can get. This was easy to put together and adapts to the usable space under my sink. Great stuff!" —Jack Kiely

    Get it from Amazon for $23.87 (available in three colors).

    12. A beautiful two-door cabinet you won't mind taking up space in your house because it will up the aesthetic while giving you the storage space you need to make it really feel like a home.

    Promising review: "This cabinet is so well made!!! The directions made it super easy to put together. Buy it — it’s so beautiful!" —Swatts

    Get it from Target for $300

    13. A six-shelf wall-mount bookcase with a minimalist design to help you ~maximize~ your space, so even if you stuff it full with books, plants, trinkets, or even shoes, it won't look like a cluttered mess that makes the room feel smaller.

    Promising review: "I simply love the bookcase. It is perfect for the room and allowed me (finally) to organize some of the books I have. I live in a studio apartment, space is limited, but this is a great solution, especially because it looks so light and minimal. It looks very solid and a good quality for the price. I really recommend this purchase. It is super easy to assemble." —Ylenia

    Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in 18 colors and styles).

    14. beanbag cover useful for holding all of your kids' stuffed animals and blankets so you don't find them sprawled out across the room all the time. And as a bonus, it turns into a cozy seat for reading and watching TV when it's full.

    Promising review: "These are perfect for any kids’ room! I was getting so tired of messy stuffed animals and blankets all over so it’s nice to have them out of sight but still easily accessible. My 2-year-old loves to sit on hers and read books. She doesn’t have a ton of stuffed animals so there is plenty of room to add to it for when her collection grows. I love the fun bright print and sturdiness — she drags it all over the ground but I don’t worry about it tearing at all. Just what she needed in her room." —dd

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 14 colors and in three sizes).

    15. An accent table reviewers swear look more expensive than the price tag and the two doors mean you can shut your stuff away so it's out of sight...but not out of mind.

    Promising review: "Beautiful piece! I fell in love with it since I saw it online, even more after it was completely assembled! It's not too difficult to put together, the tricky part for us was to get the hinges to align. Would definitely recommend! Love it!" —Bea

    Get it from Amazon for $249.99.

    16. wall-mounted blanket rack if you're constantly surrounded by blankets on your couch, which is great when you want to get cozy but not when you have  people coming over and want to make your place look nice.

    Edge Live Creations Co. is a small business based in Shelby, Ohio specializing in handmade stylish and functional storage solutions. 

    Promising review: "Just what I needed! The quality is good and the wood is beautiful. Shipping was fast. I would definitely order again." —Krista Hill 

    Get it from Edge Live Creations Co. on Etsy for $56.70+ (available in two sizes and in six finishes). 

    17. fridge rack that latches on (so no installation required) because even if you live in a small home, it doesn't mean you have to limit the ingredients and spices you keep in your kitchen. Plus, this can also be mounted or placed on the floor (just flip it over) so it really can fit whatever space you're working with.

    Promising review: "I love this organizer! I had to do some minor modifications to make sure it doesn’t slide off with added weight (I'm in an earthquake prone state), but it is just what I needed to free up some valuable counter space and still have access to what I need!" —mari s.

    Get it from Amazon for $55.99.

    18. clear shower curtain liner designed with pockets on the inside to hold all of the products that you need so they don't end up squished in the corner of the tub and falling over when you grab your shampoo.

    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says: "I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, which seems expensive for a shower curtain liner but is totally worth the price. Its mesh pockets are incredibly sturdy and even *I* can fit all my shower stuff in there. (FYI, I often keep three or four body washes and conditioners each in the shower at all times.) There’s lots of reinforcement where each pocket meets the liner and at the top of the liner, so dropping a weighty bottle of shampoo in a pocket is NBD. Obviously, you want to try for even weight distribution between the pockets and toiletries, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. And these smooth-gliding hooks I also bought for my new digs make opening and closing my shower curtain as smooth as buttah." Check out her full review here, #7.

    Get it from Amazon for $20.14 (available in two styles).

    19. Or a mesh shower curtain caddy for a more compact solution that still has a ton of room to hold all your products. 

    Promising review: "I LOVE this product! The ring/clip things are wonderfully sturdy with beads on them, making them slide smoothly over the curtain rod without getting caught or snagged. I have some rather heavy bottles of conditioner and shampoo in it and haven't had a problem. Will definitely be ordering another one for all of my husband's beard and grooming items!" —A. Dewitt

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    20. An adhesive ledge shelf set that'll blend seamlessly into a white wall or cabinet and give you a place to store any items that have been just hanging out on your counters.

    Promising review: "These looks so good, are super easy to install, and are highly functional. The end of my kitchen counter always had keys, phones, whatever, and now, it’s clear." —TC&Mina

    Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (available in white and blue).

    21. A medicine cabinet organizer to maximize the amount of toiletries you can store in your medicine cabinet.

    You can also use 3M Command strips to attach these to a wall if you don't have a medicine cabinet.

    Promising review: "This is an awesome piece to have in my medicine cabinet. It keeps my razor up above on one shelf and then creams or whatever beneath, and on another shelf, I have one holding my toothbrush up high and other items underneath. I love it. It adds so much more room to my cabinets and makes it functional where before everything fell out all over. This is the best idea EVER!! More space, less mess. I LOVE IT!!" —C. Chamblee

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95.

    22. A magnetic stove shelf meant to give a place to put your most-used cooking ingredients (looking at your salt, pepper, and olive oil!!). 

    Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

    23. A yoga mat holder here to turn that mess of workout equipment you have piled in the corner of the room into an organized oasis where you can still get your ~om~ on.  

    Promising review: "I love this product! It feels so much better to keep my yoga mats up off the floor when it’s not in use. It’s also been great to have a single place to keep all of my exercise equipment organized in one place. I have four mats, a yoga block, resistance bands, and mini resistance bands on mine and it feels sturdy and looks great!" —dorothy m. haber

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 

    24. A storage basket wall mount with places to put both your ironing board and iron so they're together and easy to grab when that shirt you want to wear has been sitting in your closet a bit too long and has def seen better days.

    Promising review: "I hate clutter! And ironing boards are one of those items that seem to have a difficulty finding a home. This has been fabulous. It keeps the ironing board out of the way yet easily accessible to do the ironing. It was very easy to install, and it is easy to get the ironing board in and out. It also fits the iron very well. I highly recommend this." —samantha

    Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in four colors).

    25. An adjustable ceiling garage rack for when you think you've maxed out your storage space but then realize that you can essentially turn your garage into a storage unit — without that pesky monthly fee.

    Promising review: "We needed extra garage storage in our new home, and FlexiMount's garage rack solved that problem! It came with clear directions for installation. For the easiest installation, I suggest you have a second person for help. The moment we took the rack out, we immediately noticed the high-quality material it was made out of. If you need a garage storage solution, we can't recommend FlexiMounts enough! 10/10, 5 stars!" —JJ

    Get it from Amazon for $229.99

    26. floating shelf that will transform all your favorite novels and cookbooks into works of art you can enjoy every single day because, let's be honest, are you really ever going to get around to reading them when they're just sitting in a huge pile on the floor getting in your way? 

    Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere

    Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in four sizes and variations and in white or silver).

    27. A velvet storage bench perfect for giving you a place to put on your shoes before you leave (I firmly stand by the no outside clothes on the bed rules) while also discreetly holding extra sheets and blankets. We love a multi-functional product!

    Promising review: "This velvet storage bench is the perfect addition to my bedroom. It is so soft and was so easy to assemble. All I had to do was attach the legs, and it included the tool as well. The bed part is that the lid comes off giving me the added storage that I needed." —Bonnie E.

    Get it from Amazon for $119.99 or from Harmati for $169.99

    28. Some Shoe Slotz designed so you can store your shoes on top of each other instead of side by side, meaning not only will your closet look so neat, but you'll also have room to store more shoes. Always a win in my world.

    Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa says: "This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes."

    29. A beautiful storage cabinet one BuzzFeed editor bought to hold all the extra stuff around her house that didn't have a home because it instantly makes the room look ~neat~.

    BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown says: "This is my favorite piece of furniture that didn’t come from a flea market. It’s GORGEOUS *and* incredibly functional — just LOOK at how it fits all my gift wrap, candles, office supplies I bought because I thought I’d need them in college but still have not used up, electronics I use but not everyday, contacts I don’t have space in the bathroom for, and random art supplies. Yes, those are photos that I like but don’t have space to keep like, out out. And when you close the door, everything just looks neat! (P.S. Google “Sindoori Mango” for other furniture in this finish!)"
