1. 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 $119.99+ (available in four colors).
2. 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 $11.98+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
3. A cap organizer reviewers confirm is super easy way to store hats (though they recommend a wood hanger as it's stronger) and can also be used to hold scarves or other accessories.
I recently got this after getting so frustrated with finding a good way to store my ever-growing baseball cap collection. I previously store my hats on a wall hook, but they would also fall off, and my new apartment didn't really have a space for that in the closet. This was the perfect solution. It lets me keep all my hats organized and neat and take up barely any space in my closet. Plus, it's super easy to grab and take the hat you need, without all the others falling to the floor. I didn't have a wood hanger, but I found that with nine hats on it, it is still very stable and easy to use.
Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.
Promising review: "These are the best things I have found to store my husband's hats. Especially without taking up a ton of space in the closet or on a door. I absolutely recommend a wood hanger. I had to use two double plastic hangers until I could get a wood hanger. Even the two plastic hangers sag and didn't seem sturdy. But these things are great. I used the other one to store scarves and tank tops. Gave me tons more space in my closet. Great prices, well made, and multiple uses! I will actually order more to help with closet space." —Shannon H.
Get it from Amazon for $6+ (available in six colors and four pack sizes).
4. An acrylic plant hanger made to fit in your windowsill so you have a place to not only store your ~growing~ collection of plants, but also display them.
Indoor Window Gardens is a small, family-owned business based in South Carolina. The acrylic shelves come assembled, and you can secure them with a single fastener.
Promising review: "Not only do these shelves look amazing and give me so much more room for my plants but the customer service is amazing! I forgot to order extensions with my order so I contacted the shop and they helped me by making a special listing for the extensions. They placed them in my original order so everything came together. If you’re looking for a window shelf, this is it!!" —Jamie Miner
Get it from Indoor Window Gardens on Etsy for $74+ (available in three styles and three mounting options).
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!
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 three other pack sizes).
6. 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.
7. 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 $14+ (available in two sizes and also sets of three).
8. 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 $16.11+ (available in two colors).
9. A two-tiered rotating shelf to help you 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 you won't forget that you had paprika hiding in the back and buy a new one, only to discover it months later completely rock hard and unusable.
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 size bottles to be placed on the racks." —Vegmom
Get it from Amazon for $11.53+ (available in 11 colors).
10. A '60s-inspired bookshelf you can totally use to store more than just books. Trust me, your random vases and plants will look so much better in your home sitting on here rather than on your counter.
Promising review: "I love love love this bookshelf. It's soooo big, and it fits everything while looking neat and cool and nice!! " —araceli123
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $349 (available in five colors).
11. 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 $32.95 (also available in three other size packs).
12. 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+ (available in two colors and two pack sizes).
13. 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 six colors and three sizes).
14. 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 $26.99+ (available in three sizes, 11 colors, and a one- or two-set).
15. 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 $50.38+ (available in six colors and various styles).
16. A bakeware rack with adjustable dividers so you can customize it to fit whatever kitchen supplies you have in a random pile in your cabinet.
Promising review: "We loved this so much that we bought a second one immediately! This works great for circular pans, cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Plus, it has non-skid feet which is a big plus!"—Organization Freak / Hobby Cook
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
17. A set of two adhesive shelves 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 $24.49+ (available in two colors).
18. 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 $19.93+ (available in two sizes, four colors, and one- or two-packs).
19. Or a hanging wine bottle and glass rack if you want a fun way to store your glass collection as well as a few bottles. The rack can hold your long-stem glasses, while the top keeps up to six bottles of wine safe. Well, safe until Happy Hour, that is.
20. A CovoBox made to look like a stack of books, but it's actually hollow on the inside, so you can use it to cover your Wi-Fi router that's awkwardly sitting out and making your TV stand look messy.
Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood.
Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah!
Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one, and I’ve been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme
21. A set of floating shelves that'll take advantage of wasted space on your walls and show off any cool books, candles, or souvenirs you love.
Promising review: "I've been looking everywhere for shelves like these but have had no luck. Anything I found was either too big or over $100. These are fantastic. They go perfectly in my bathroom and allow me extra shelving for things I can't fit on the counter top. I'm buying another set or two for my living room. They're super easy to hang, especially if you have a drill." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $13.72+ (available in nine colors and varieties).
22. 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 $56.70+ (available in two sizes and in six finishes).
23. 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 $74.55+ (available in ten colors).
24. 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.
25. 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.
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).
26. A double-sided tea organizer designed to hold up to 80 tea bags so you can toss those bulky boxes and have a streamlined way to still enjoy a cup (or two).
Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.
Get an 80-bag size from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a 120-bag style).
27. A set of storage cubes so you can take advantage of any overhead (or wasted) space in your closet. The sky's the limit! (Or really, the ceiling in this case.)
Promising review: "I put these in my closet to make extra shelves for sweaters/sweatshirts. They were easy to assemble and worked great at adding additional space to my closet. I like that my clothes don’t topple over into the pile next to them anymore. They were easy to put together, and if I move they will be easy to take apart, put in a small box and move. I'm very happy with this purchase."—Goldensummerdog
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in five colors and one- or two-pack).
28. 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. 🥲
29. 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 $65.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
30. A set of space saver bags because storing your bulky winter clothes in the summer 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 small bags from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in four other bag sizes, three pack sizes, and a variety pack).
31. A cord organizer to help you hid any messes that accumulate from pulling in all your devices that are a total eyesore in the room.
Promising review: "I had a mess of cables on the table next to my bed, and if you pulled one too much, the chargers would fall. This keeps everything in place. It is very LARGE, I didn't expect it to be that big, but it holds a full-size surge protector, and I'm able to plug in everything in there! It's very helpful!" —Patrick Pflaumer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
32. 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 $25.99+ (available in 14 colors and in three sizes).
33. An under-cabinet sliding basket perfect for your collection of cleaning supplies or even beauty products. Put bottles on the top and any smaller items in the drawer, and you'll be G2G.
Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings and they hold true." —Brad J. Leahy
Get it on Amazon for $25.97 (available in two colors).
34. 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.
Iirntree is a small business selling handmade wooden furniture.
Promising review: "Beautiful shelf at a great price and it was securely packaged for shipping. It even came earlier than I had anticipated!" —Kandi
Get it from Iirntree on Etsy for $33.65+ (available in various sizes and wood stain finishes).
35. 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 $10.99+ (available in eight colors and size packs).
36. 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 $49.49 (available in seven colors).
37. A pack of super-strong magnets you attach to the top of your fridge, giving you a place to store a six-pack of beer, leaving even more space on the shelves for food. And how impressed will your guests be when they open the fridge and see the bottles just ~hanging out~.
Promising review: "Of all the things I have bought that I didn't need, this is one of my favorites. Beer is hard to get out of the cardboard carrier in the top of my fridge. While just taking them out and sitting them on the shelf would have solved this problem as well. This solution is more fun. They float and technically it does make a tiny bit of extra space under the beer for small things like cheese or something." —AbbyValentine
Get a set of two strips (six magnets) from Amazon for $29.99.
38. 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 $22.49+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
