1. A sleek, space-saving leaning ladder if you want to incorporate a cool way of storing blankets, scarves, or towels. And because of the clever leaning design, there's no nails or wall-mounting necessary!
People also use this for storing those kinda-dirty-but-not-dirty-enough-to-wash-yet clothes you normally toss onto that chair (you know the one).
Promising reviews: "I was a little hesitant to spend this much on this product, but glad I did. Now, my tiny bedroom looks a little more polished because I have eliminated the not-quite-dirty-clothes pile-on-the-chair-or-floor, and instead have this stylish ladder where I can neatly hang my clothes...and it looks lovely. It literally took a little anxiety away." —Diane
Get it from Amazon for $66 (available in two colors and also with a shoe rack).
2. A set of floating bookshelves for those who want their books to work double duty as both relaxing entertainment and decor. Just imagine a color-coded book wall in your bedroom — so cute!
Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support.
Promising reviews: "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
"I bought two of these in 2010, and in the last 10 years, I've used them in three different apartments. I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away by how awesome they look. Every time I put them up, it's like, 'WOW WOW WOW these are AMAAAZZINNGGG!!' If you love decorating with books, this is a must-buy!" —Jlands
Get it from Amazon for $17.21+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and in sets of three).
3. A record/magazine/book holder that helps you organize your favorite things as well as put them on display for all to see. Time to show off that new SZA vinyl that just came in the mail!
Promising review: "I didn’t want anything too bulky on my nightstand, but I like to have several books I like to read in bed. I previously had them stacked on top of each other and found this and was afraid it might be cheaply made but it is sturdy and beautiful! I’m such a bookworm, and I am in love with this added piece to my room." —Stephy Lynn
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).

5. A sock and underwear organizer so awesome, you might just open the drawer and stare for fun. This set of four is guaranteed to maximize space in your dresser, too.
Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst-case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD, and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best, cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

After seeing this gorgeous entryway rack on nearly every home influencer's feed and thinking I NEED it in my home, I was finally able to try it out for myself. And yes, I can confirm it is worth the hype it's getting. Simply put, it's stunning in person. It's sleek, very minimalistic, and no doubt able to look good in any room it's placed in. I stuck true to the name and have it in my entryway hall. It keeps my shoes, keys, and extra little knick-knacks organized perfectly. And the color? Chef's kiss.

Get it from Open Spaces for $184 (available in four colors).
9. A vertical shoe rack perfect for tucking away in your closet or for leaving right at the door for an easy grab-and-go situation. Your shoes do not have to take over the floor space!
Promising review: "This is great! Fits vertically in my small entryway, just what I was looking for. If you want a modern, stylish, clean-looking shoe rack with a small footprint, this is the perfect selection! It’s lightweight, so of course it’s not the sturdiest piece of furniture, but for storing five pairs of shoes, it’s great! It fits men's size 10 shoes perfectly." —Aaron Staley
Get it from Amazon for $61+ (available in two colors and widths).
10. OR, Shoe Slotz to ~really~ maximize your closet space by cleverly stacking one shoe on top of another. And because it leaves one shoe visible, you'll still be able to assess your chosen pair for the day without having to stare at a mountain of footwear taking over your closet. #Blessed
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa swears by this org method: "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."
Promising review: "Confession time. I am a bit of a shoe fiend. These little shoe slots have allowed me to fit way more shoes in my closet shelving (yay!) AND having them organized like this keeps my shoes much nicer — since they aren't all scraping against each other. It also helps me remember which shoes I have — since they are all visible. :) The little heel stoppers pop out every so often when I am getting shoes, which is sort of annoying, but still a 5-star purchase." —MoniqueRamsey
Get a set of six from Amazon for $32.99+ (also available in packs of 10, 20, and 40).

Promising review: "These cabinets are so elegant and beautiful! They are definitely worth the $149! They’re giving ✨classy NYC✨. Everyone who’s come into my home loves them and compliments them. I bought two of them to put next to each other and make a TV stand. I have 65in. And it fits well. Super glad I made this purchase." —sylvia
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in three colors).
13. A set of trendy, clear, tiered organizing cubes because they'll *really* get your bedroom in tip-top order. Use them for just about anything, and even add in drawers for items you don't want out in the open!
Promising review: "Lightweight, sturdy, and svelte. Great to combine with boxes with open tops. Requires a decent amount of force to fully attach the joints to the metal panels. Once fully assembled with joints entirely engaged, the structure is VERY satisfyingly sturdy. Can easily lift the entire empty structure and feels rigid. Highly recommend for minimalistic modular organizer shelf." —John D.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in six colors).
14. Some under-bed storage containers to store shoes and clothing in the most convenient and out-of-the-way place.
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in six colors).
15. A super convenient flip-top end table complete with a charging station and storage space for wires, remotes, coasters, and more right underneath the surface! Yay for not having to look at tangled lamp wires and never losing that tiny TV remote again!
Promising reviews: "I bought two of these as side tables beside our couch. I love how sleek they look, plus having an extra storage drawer with plugs for our phones is great! I charge my phone and watch while we watch TV in the evenings... It fits everything I need: remotes, tissues, and a coaster for cups." —Jessica
"Bought this table for a sun porch that currently has limited electrical outlets. It's easy to put together, came well packaged, and the right size for in-between furniture... It offers a great deal of flexibility with what I want to plug in. I currently have a timer plugged in for a lamp, I'm able to charge two phones, and still have an outlet available for something else if needed. Been using for a couple of months now and very happy with the product" —gone2020
Get it from Amazon for $46.91+ (available in 14 colors).
16. A set of two small woven baskets because they'll look great in and out of your closet and can be used for out-of-season accessories (although many reviewers use them for books and linens, too). If you want to be an organizing genius, use it for winter/summer items — like bathing suits or winter hats — since those are usually only used during those months!
Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with jute baskets! I love how sturdy they are and the perfect size to store my magazines and books under my living room table! The relaxed style further ties together my laid-back rustic organic style. Love love love!" —April
"I started by ordering a set of two baskets and kept ordering more. These baskets are stunning for display and hold a high capacity of linens. I am using them for storage of spare toilet paper rolls and hand towels on open shelving and for storage of table linens in the dining area cabinet...Love the sheen, construction, and quality." —Laura K.
Get it from Amazon for $42.99.
17. Or a larger storage basket you can use for your throw blankets (and pillows, toys, laundry, etc.). It'll blend in with the rest of your decor perfectly.
Promising review: "This is the laundry basket we have on top of our dryer for whites. It is attractive, holds up nicely, and is attractive so that if we have people over, they do not need to see our laundry displayed. Love it!" —Karen R.
"Wow, very thick and sturdy! I’m quite surprised. Love it for my nursery laundry basket for all the toys. The color is just as the photo shows, complementary for all decor types. Good value for the money!" —Ichi Ban
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three colors).
18. A stylish garment rack with shelves for those in need of a bit more closet and storage space. You've got one long sturdy rack for hanging and three shelves that can be used for folded clothes, shoes, books, plants, or just extra home decor to spruce up the room (something you can't do with the normal clothing rack options).
Grab a set of shelf storage bins (like the photo on the left) for even more organization and storage options!
Promising review: "I’ve had this rack for a few months now, and I’m so happy with it! My room was lacking something to fill in the plain space, and this garment hanger filled it perfectly and made my room look SO much better! Not only that, but as [someone] with barely any experience assembling any furniture of any sort, it was quite simple to assemble!... It’s also quite sturdy. It holds all my decor with no problem and displays them so well. Lastly, it’s also very easy to maneuver. The rack included little pads to stick on the bottom of the legs, making it easy to move across my wood floors without scratching or damaging the surface. If you’re searching for a stylish, easy-to-assemble, sturdy, and easily transportable rack for your bedroom, this product is the way to go! Highly recommend." —Kyle Bonares
Get it from Amazon for $87.99 (available in six styles and three colors).

The tags come with 30 printed labels, including seasons, occasion (formal/casual), clothing type, and more.
Closet Doodles is a woman-owned small biz based in Missouri.
Promising review: "Every summer, I clean out my closet. Last summer, I used the Marie Kondo method and have done a very good job at keeping up with it since. So the job this summer was easier and took less time (mostly just purged things that were no longer bringing me joy), but I wanted to take it to the next level, and these dividers fit the bill. The labels are printed in a pretty font; there are a great variety of them, and they go on quickly and easily. I’ve still got plenty of labels left (they send you two sets, which technically would be for back and front, but I only put them on one side for now — the visible side) and even have a couple of actual dividers left, too. Would definitely repurchase for future closet organization!" —MM&A's Mom
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99.
21. A versatile fleece storage ottoman with a removable top so you'll have extra room for smaller items that need a permanent (and out-of-sight) home.

Get it from Target or Amazon for $119.99 (available in 10 colors and two materials — including leather!).

Promising reviews: "So nice! Great quality, sturdy, and easy to put together. Such a beautiful soft velvet, and the color is exactly as pictured. I store my gym bags, weights, and equipment in there." —Amazon Customer
"I'm not a review person, but this is perfect. It's very mid-century modern. It's a beautiful velvet, and it stores a lot too. I love this bench. I bought two lumbar pillows with velvet covers, and it is like a cute little sofa (but narrow enough to fit in the bedroom) with storage. Very nice piece of furniture." —Amy Lou
Get it from Amazon for $113.81+ (available in four colors).
23. A dual-sided hanging pocket organizer to stash small items like tights, underwear, or hair accessories. I'm not judging your cluttered drawers and countertops; I'm just saying this is your solution!
This has 21 different-sized pockets on each side (42 total), including larger pockets at the bottom and smaller ones near the top.
Promising review: "This is a very well-made closet organizer! The pockets are able to expand to allow for various items to fit. I put underwear and socks in the smallest upper pockets and tank tops and leggings/genie pants in the bottom large pockets. The middle-size pockets fit winter socks, bras, or two pairs of athletic socks nicely. Plus, the pockets are clear, so you can see what is in each! Very pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy again." —Awhatchamacallit
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
24. A hanger stacker you didn't know existed but could definitely use in your closet. Those annoying tangled bins of hangers are about to go *poof*!
Promising review: "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did, because these beat a box of hangers hands down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about is which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tools for assembly. A great buy!" —KatieLee333
Get it from Amazon for $24.30.
25. A convenient over-the-door laundry hamper so your hamper doesn't take up any floor space that could be used for better (and cuter) things.
P.S. It can be mounted to the wall, too.

He likes to claw at everything to get your attention, including the headboard! Luckily, it hasn't gotten a single scratch on it. The material is extremely durable." —Chelsea G.
Get it from Article for $699+ (available in Queen and King sizes, and two colors).
28. Or, a gorgeous upholstered platform storage bed if your closet is nowhere near big enough to hold your clothes, shoes, bags, and extra bed sheets. It's a very sophisticated piece of furniture, and the *four* extra drawers make it great for those with no — or not enough — storage space.
Promising review: "The drawers provide amazing storage! The main reason why I made this purchase. I kept my box spring to be on the safe side, and I like the height it provides. The bed is also pretty sturdy for the wood that is provided ." —Anonymous

After these bags, I not only have more room, I was able to move all of my things from out of the hallway closet and into my bedroom!! I combined two closets in one, where I thought I had no room. Wow. You can easily have three pillows per bag, and I fit one extra-thick queen-size comforter into one bag. All things that didn't even fit in my closet beforehand. Now I have room for more!!" —Ms. Lawrence

Promising review: "I love how large and substantial these hooks are. They definitely feel high quality and are super easy to install.

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in walnut and beech wood).
32. Or, a pack of damage-free Command hooks if you'd rather not drill holes into your bedroom wall (we need that deposit back, amiright?). These hooks are strong and can hold your jackets and bags all the same. They're great for inside your closet, too.
Promising review: "Gotta love these hooks. Perfect for dorm rooms. Attached to the outside of my dresser to hang a few baseball caps and one inside closet door to hold a few belts. No marring the cabinet surface upon removal! Comes with extra adhesive if I want to relocate the hook later. Highly recommend!" —Mamma50

34. A set of velvet closet hangers because they're non-slip and specifically designed to save space. They're ultra-thin, so they don't take up much room and will turn a bulky closet into something easy to go through.
I've been using these velvet hangers in black for YEARS, like for at least eight or nine. I bought them originally for sole the reason of being really cute (who knew hangers could be), but once I transferred my clothes over from the mixed-matched plastic hangers I'd had forever, I realized that they are space-saving geniuses. My closet went from completely full to "Oh! I've got room to shop!" (dangerous, I know, but very very helpful in small spaces.) When I moved last year, I bought a new batch, and they are still just as good. And because of the velvet, they *really are* non-slip! 10/10 recommend!
Promising review: "Bought two packages after seeing a show on Netflix about organizing. It made a huge difference in my closet and it forced me to clean out all those clothes that I keep for the just-in-case moments. Highly recommend them; makes your clothes look way more appealing." —Monica Mlgz

Promising reviews: "This is probably the best purchase I have ever made on Amazon. This is very well made. Like incredibly well made. It stores sooo much stuff!!!

Mirror + jewelry holder = game changer." —Linnette

If you don't need the USB ports but still want the risers, check out these for $13.99.
Promising review: "I bought these risers to make more space in my tiny bedroom. The only place I can put my bed blocks is one of the two outlets I have. Thanks to these risers, I now have easy access to outlets, plus USB charging stations and more storage capacity under my tiny bed. They are 7.5 inches tall. ... I was worried about the sturdiness and stability. However! There is no need for concern! Between the two of us, my boyfriend and I are about 400 pounds. This bed holds up to us, our 40-pound son jumping on it, and our 95-pound dog. The weight limit for the product is even higher than that, from what I remember." —Deanna M Vedvik
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.49.
