1. A sleek silverware tray brilliantly designed to hold a full 24-piece set of silverware in half the space of a traditional organizer. You'll have more room in the drawer for all those other random kitchen essentials you've ended up with.
Promising review: "I thought this would be handy and help with space management in my small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Jerimi
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
2. An elegant shoe storage ottoman with a secret — it's got places to store your shoes so they don't clutter the ground or your closet! AND it functions as a comfy seat.
Promising review: "I can’t believe this was so inexpensive! It perfectly matches my couch and looks more expensive than it was. I like the shoe organizer inside. I put my off-season shoes in there and my Xbox controller and headset and remotes in there, and it freed up some closet space." —Tara
Get it from Amazon for $82+ (available in seven colors).
3. A magnetic stove shelf meant to give a place to put your most-used cooking ingredients (looking at your salt, pepper, and olive oil!!).
Stove Shelf is a small business creating products to help people make the most of their kitchen space.
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 $35.59+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
4. A toilet paper stocker perfect for anyone who doesn't have any storage space for extra rolls. This discreetly stores them and ensures that you'll never be stuck without toilet paper.
Promising review: "I really love it. Living in a shoebox in NY, I constantly look for storage solutions. This design is incredible. It takes up so little footprint and fits perfectly between the toilet bowl and the wall, and is very functional. I hate having to go to the deli store to get a couple of rolls of toilet paper at a time. Now I can get 12 rolls at a time, though if you get the larger rolls, they won't come through the hole on the bottom. You will have to retrieve the larger rolls by removing the top, which is not a big deal. I put a wonderful Olavie diffuser and body scrub on the top, and it looks really nice. It's a must-have for any small apartment living!" —Ken H
Get it from Amazon for $56.
5. A 10-pack of Wonder Hangers you'll ~wonder~ how you ever lived without because it will actually allow you to hang up all your clothes in your tiny closet. Each hanger can hold up to five pieces of clothing and condense it down to take up less space. Score!
Wonder Hanger is a small business creating products to help organize and make more room in your closet.
Promising review: "My family of three (teenage child and adult child) squeeze into a 820-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. Closet space is high value real estate for us. The Wonder Hanger Max has definitely maximized our closet space." —Whovian
Get it 10-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and in a 24-pack).
6. 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 seven colors).
7. A 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 that always fall over when you grab your shampoo.
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 $18.99+ (available in three colors).
8. A lift-top ottoman perfect for putting in front of your bed and giving you a place to not only put your shoes on but also store any blankets or even toys.
Promising review: "Love this! My bedroom has evolved into my son's playroom, so I wanted something like a toy bin, but more esthetic. This does the job! Fits all of his large toys, lid is lightweight, so I don't have to worry about my son slamming his fingers, and it looks beautiful. Nice and sturdy. Perfect little perch." —Kayla
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors).
9. 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 $34.99+ (available in four colors).
10. A 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 $47.25+ (available in two sizes and six finishes).
11. A 24-pocket door-hanging sleeve so versatile, you can put it on the back of any door in your home and store everything — from shoes to electronics to even cleaning supplies. Who knew something this small could make such a huge difference in your home?!?
Promising review: "This is a great addition to my bathroom! I have a small linen closet door in there, and this fits the space perfectly and holds all the products I use regularly but I don't want sitting out on the counter or tucked too far away in the closet. It's sturdy and seems to be well-made. The clear plastic is nice so I can easily find what I'm looking for. Overall, it really provides easy access to my stuff and keeps me organized. I would highly recommend it for organization in any room." —NIB
Get it from Amazon for $8.88 (available in two sizes and five colors).
12. A 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!
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 $49.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
13. 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 $137.99+ (available in six styles).
14. A 10-pocket hanging purse organizer, a must-have for anyone who has a purse for every mood but nowhere to store the collection. This hangs in your closet and gives you a place to put them while insuring you see them so you don't forget about that one bag that will look just perfect with the outfit you're wearing.
Promising review: "I'm surprisingly satisfied with this organizer! This one is absolutely perfect for my purses. I love the little side 'pouches.' It's super easy to set up, holds up well with added weight, and has lots of different sized compartments. Love love love." —Nicki cook
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
15. A three-in-one wrap dispenser with cutter perfect for anyone who is DEEP in #OrganizeTok. This simple container is actually pretty ~neat~ because it will declutter your drawer so you can easily grab a piece of parchment paper or cling wrap.
It's compatible with most wraps and comes with 21 label stickers so you can customize it however you want.
Promising review: "TikTok made me do it. And I am so glad I did. There's nothing more annoying than Saran wrap getting all in a ball after you rip it off. This cuts it perfectly every single time." —Amy K.
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
16. A 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 $24.98+ (available in 29 colors and patterns and in three sizes).
17. A coatrack and storage shelf to put right by your front door. That way, when you get home, you have a specific place to throw your coats, jackets, and shoes instead of just putting them all in a big pile on the floor. It'll be just as convenient, but make the room feel instantly cleaner.
Promising review: "Super easy to assemble, nice and sturdy. The depth is perfect for the narrow entrance to my house. I'm sick of everybody's shoes just being piled up and hoodies being all over, now there is no excuse!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $53.78+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
18. A toy storage organizer with 16 bins of various sizes and an open design so your kids can actually do (most) of their own cleanup. Hopefully, once you have this in your home, you'll never feel the pain of stepping on a Lego again.
Promising review: "These are amazing. They have helped so much with the toy clutter. I have one in each child's room and one in our loft/living space. The kids can easily clean up and the toys end up in the right location. I love this!" —DeborahB
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in seven colors).
19. A floating wooden shelf you can add to your walls for when you have no storage space left at all. Suddenly, your random collection of cups, bowls, plates, and more will go from clutter in your kitchen to looking aesthetically pleasing on your wall.

Get it from Iirntree on Etsy for $30.76+ (available in various sizes and wood stain finishes).
20. A slim profile pull-and-rotate cabinet organizer here to not only organize your kitchen cabinet, but still give you the ability to easily find the cumin you need for the recipe.
Promising review: "TikTok inspired me. Guys, this thing is the real deal. Everything that doesn't fit on my spice rack ended up cluttering my cabinets. This thing solved that problem efficiently, quickly, and reasonably. We added a little extra double sided tape to the bottom to make it extra secure. Love it." —Kaitlyn B.
Get it from Amazon for $19.49.
21. Or a two-tiered turntable so you can take advantage of an awkward cabinet where half of the things get lost in the back. Pretty sure you'll have this ~a-round~ for a long time because it will be so easy to grab exactly what you're looking for.
Promising review: "This turned a mess of a cabinet into an organized cabinet. We use A LOT of spices and it was always a nightmare to find the right one. Now I just spin to find what I want. It’s a nice height, too, and allows for different bottle sizes to be placed on the racks." —Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 14 colors and sizes).
22. Some Command hooks you can use for just about everything around your home — creating an entryway storage area, hanging measuring utensils on a cabinet door, or even hanging a piece of art. You'll be so thankful to have these small but mighty hooks nearby, helping you craft the perfect home.
Promising review: "I just moved into a brand-new apartment and didn't want to put holes in the walls. I have purchased quite a variety of the 3M Command mini hooks, wire hooks, cord bundlers, picture hangers, photo bars, display shelves, extra-adhesive tabs in different sizes, etc. It will be a long time before I go back to using nails. These Command products are the greatest! I recently found one of the unused adhesive tabs in the pocket of something that had gone through the washer and dryer and it STILL worked!!! Thanks for a terrific, easy-to-use product." —LJE
Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $13.48.
23. A shower caddy specifically made with strong adhesive strips on the back so it will stick in your shower and give you a place to store all the products you have.
Promising review: “Holy crap! This is way better than an over-the-shower head caddy or a corner shelf! Its adhesion is amazing, as you can tell we have it chock-full and it’s not once moved or came undone!!!! Gives our shower more space and way easier to keep clean now!! I’d highly recommend it!!! Also, please note we don’t have tile, so I’m unsure how it would hold up on different surfaces but they give you two adhesive strips so it gives you an opportunity to try on different areas.” —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
24. Or a set of two adhesive shelves if you have multiple people that share a bathroom and need more space. Reviewers confirm are super sturdy and can hold a surprising amount of weight, which is great if you have no storage in your shower. With these, you'll have a place to put all your products, as well as two hooks for loofahs and more.
Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
25. A set of Oxo food storage containers you ~clearly~ need because with these in your life, you'll finally be able to see everything in your pantry and know exactly how much flour you have left. Plus, the airtight seal means everything will stay fresher for longer.

Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $88.48 (also available in a 7- and 20-piece set).
26. 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.
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."
Get a 10-piece set from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in a 20- and 40-pack).
27. A toy box because much like kids, dogs can leave their toys ALLLL over the house, and this will give you a place to keep them all. It is designed with a lid, but just be careful because if your dog can't open it, it may result in them sitting next to it whining, asking if it's OK to play with their toys. 🥲
28. 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 all the random things you just can't find a home for in your bathroom.
Promising review: "Recently removed the radiators out of my old house, and the bathroom had a narrow space that just looked empty. This fits 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 $32.99+ (available in two colors).
29. 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 $26.99+ (available in three colors).
30. 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 $30.03.
31. A 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 $11.45+ (available in two sizes, sets of three, and in two colors).
32. A Simplehuman grocery bag dispenser meant to take that big pile of plastic bags you've accumulated and store them in a small container where you can grab one to reuse and recycle in seconds.
Promising review: "I had a handmade bag to hold my plastic grocery bags, FOR YEARS!! When it finally tore so badly that I could no longer use it, I found this item. It's perfect! It's well-made, has a stainless finish, and no sharp edges. It's mounted on the inside of my cabinet door, making it very convenient, and freeing up some space in my cabinet. It holds 25-30 bags, probably more if you really stuff them in. I really like this dispenser." —Cubby
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
33. A large woven wicker basket to hold all your extra pillows when not in use so they don't end up cluttering your floor.
Promising review: "I'm happy with my purchase — the basket is exactly as described. It's nicely woven. The entire basket holds its shape — it isn't floppy as some have asked about. I'm using it near my couch to hold extra pillows. You certainly could fill it with lots of other things to help unclutter an area. I do recommend this basket for value and craftsmanship." —BizzyEnuf
Get it from Amazon for $39.13+ (available in five sizes/styles and in two colors).
34. A toothbrush holder and dispenser here to clean up your counter *and* make it easier for kids (and adults alike) to get toothpaste on the brush.
This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. I would definitely recommend for a family or kids' bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." —Sariyah J
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).
35. A small woven basket, which will soon become your new secret weapon. Your home will only look cluttered and messy if you can see the clutter and mess. With a couple of these baskets around, you can shove whatever you want in them and move on with your day. It's as easy as that.
Promising review: "Love it! I got two baskets. The quality is great. The baskets have a good capacity. They're just what I needed to make the space under my coffee table a useful, yet clean-looking storage space. And the handles are a nice touch — they really add a lot!" —Meerkat
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
36. 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.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six styles).
37. Some shelf dividers providing you the chance to stack clothing and linens in the whole shelf without them toppling over, creating an even bigger mess. And when you want to grab that specific shirt at the bottom of the pile, you'll be super grateful to have these.
Promising review: "If you need to Marie Kondo your closet, this is really useful and it looks really nice. I got the grey ones. Bought two to see how they were. Perfect. Bought six more. Loving it!!! Really recommended this product, ready to install and very sturdy." —Nicolò R.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99.
38. A lid organizer because if your container drawer looks something like the picture on the left, you've def been so frustrated digging through the mishmash piles of lids trying to find the right lid that fits on the container your leftovers are already in. This gives you spots for every different lid size you own.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get a large size from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in three other styles).
39. A cord box to transform that tangled mess of wires into a nice orderly setup. Your office will feel less cluttered so you can breathe a little easier.
Great Useful Stuff is a small biz based out of Sonoma, California, featuring a selection of home and lifestyle products that are...you guessed it...great and useful. This box includes the unit and six magnetic spools to keep the cords organized.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Daniel Boan says: "When Great Useful Stuff sent this to me for review, I thought it would simply be a cute way to keep my chargers from falling under my desk and becoming impossible to find, but I didn't realize how it would basically transform my space. As you can see above, I had a wildly unacceptable pile of wires on my floor that was becoming so big I almost started asking it to chip in for rent. When the box arrived, I untangled the cords, placed my power strip in the bottom of the box, then threaded the wires through the holes at the top (it also comes with magnetic attachments for looping excess length in the wires, but I didn't even need to use those). Now my cords are cleverly concealed and so much easier to manage — which makes me feel like I ever so slightly have my life together. I said slightly."
Get it from Great Useful Stuff for $69.99.
40. A lift-top coffee table designed to give you a place to store that random assortment of things that end up all over your coffee table. Out of sight, but definitely not out of mind.
Promising review: "This is a unique table. It's perfect for my needs. I draw a lot. I can draw without leaning over. Then I can put the papers inside the table and all is clean and clear. It opens so smoothly that I don't have to remove the plant or other decorations to open and close it. I do remove drinks just to be safe. I should have bought it a long time ago." —CB
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three colors).
41. 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 $14.
42. A set of space saver bags because storing your extra blankets and pillows will ~suck~ less when you squeeze all the air out so they take up a wayyy smaller amount of space in your closet (or under your bed).
Promising review: "First of all, when you see 'jumbo' in the title, you better believe these things are JUMBO! These bags of limitless storage can hold just about anything fabric that you need squishing down into a manageable block. I've used these for blankets, clothes, and precious keepsakes and I feel secure in the knowledge that they are all well-protected. The plastic is thick but not stiff, so you know it's good quality." —Kimball Household
Get a six-pack of jumbo bags from Amazon for $34.99 (available in four sizes and variety packs).
43. A shirt-folding board that'll make your closet look like a department store — it'll be like shopping in your own closet EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
