1. A sliding shelf that'll make seeing and reaching ~everything~ in your kitchen cabinets easy peasy. No more forgetting about items because they get buried in the back (and you'll be saving money, too!).
Promising review: "After multiple attempts to organize my deep, narrow, hard-to-organize lower cabinet, where I keep pots and pans, I finally tried one of the Lynx sliding shelves. WHY didn’t I just buy this to begin with?! I have these awful half-shelves in the lower cabinets that don’t hold much and make organizing even more difficult. Reaching into these lower cabinets can be painful and maddening when you need one pan or pot, but you have to remove EVERYTHING, set them on the floor, grab the one item you need, and shove the stack back into the narrow and deep cabinet. THIS sliding shelf solves the problem!" —Mustang Sally
Get it from Amazon for $47.80+ (available in seven sizes and two colors).
2. A double-sided tea organizer to free up space in the cabinet and keep your favorite flavors in pristine order. Time to toss all of those clunky tea boxes!
YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions.
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 it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
3. A MAJOR space-saving cookware set with a detachable handle for a complete level-up in your kitchen essentials. This five-piece set comes with everything you'd need to make delicious meals, including two different-sized frying pans, a saucepan, a lid, and one (genius) removable handle. And yes, the set is nonstick!
All of the cookware is dishwasher-safe and oven-safe in temperatures of up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit. And when attached to a pot, the handle can withstand up to 22 lbs.
Promising review: "Incredibly functional. These are the best pots and pans I’ve ever used. Truly nonstick, stackable, and beautiful. They look great, work great, and should be in every home!" —Kim
Get a five-piece set from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sets of four, five, and nine, and in three colors).
4. A set of two cabinet shelf organizers that'll give you maximum use of your space. They're stackable, too! Which will be helpful when you want to save room for taller items.
5. An Our Place oven pan because you can use it for just about anything. As a giant stove griddle for fewer dishes? Yep! In the oven for baking and roasting? Well, of course. It's cute and really is multifunctional!
Promising review: "A solid pan and the silicone sheet is one of the best I have ever used. Easy to clean, and everything in the oven is baked to perfection. Love the color as well. It is a versatile pan that can be used on the stove. Cooked an entire breakfast, eggs, sausage, and potatoes all in one pan." —Mary N.
Get it from Our Place for $125 (available in 10 colors).
6. A wineglass rack you can put anywhere in your kitchen: on the bar cart, under kitchen cabinets, under floating shelves — you name it.
BTW, one rack can hold up to nine standard-size glasses.
Promising review: "Overall, very pleased with the product. Found some floating shelves to match a cabinet. Then added these to make my custom wine stem rack. Quality is better than expected, and love the darker finish and not the standard Chrome option. These also were the right size for the width and depth of the Shelf. So far, I've gotten several compliments." —Ms Lila
Get it from Amazon for $19.93+ (available in four colors, three or four rows, and multipacks).
7. Attachable drawers for those whose small fridge won't let them be great! These drawers take advantage of the unused space in your fridge and are perfect for organizing fruit, cheese, eggs, and other produce.
Promising reviews: "I bought a new refrigerator and it doesn’t have any kinds of drawers with the exception of the bottom. These additional drawers make my refrigerator 100% more functional. They are easy to install and work like a dream!" —Ash Antonelli
"Great if you need storage for your fridge. Great for things like cheese and hot dogs. I hated how cluttered everything looked, and these made things so organized. It's small but fits a decent amount. One can hold three packs of bacon." —Boy Mom
Get a set of two from Amazon for $33.99 (available in two sizes).
8. A set of magnetic spice jars to save you space in the kitchen and deck out your fridge. This set of 10 even comes with labels for each jar to make for easy grab 'n' spice cooking.
Gneiss Spice is a small biz based in Bethel, Maine. They specialize in stylish and sustainable spice organization.
Promising review: "These little jars have added such charm to our kitchen. They are not only beautiful and showcase the gorgeous spice colors but are incredibly functional and make great use of our extra fridge space. The magnets are strong, the pack comes with a TON of sticker labels for any spice you can imagine, and the small jars are honestly just the right size." —Gretchen K.
Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in two sizes and packs of 12 or 24).
9. Or a two-tiered turntable that'll make looking through your collection of spices, food, or cleaning supplies a lot easier. This will prevent having to take out everything one by one just to get that one thing in the back.
Promising review: "This turned a mess of a cabinet into an organized cabinet. We use A LOT of spices, and it has always been 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 $14.99 (available in 14 colors).
10. A stackable can-dispensing rack you can use to hold sodas, beers, or your favorite La Croix flavors. This makes grabbing canned beverages WAY easier without taking up too much space in the fridge.
Promising review: "We purchased two of these stackable racks for our beverage refrigerator. They are quite sturdy and well-made. Together, they hold 24 cans, 12 in each rack. The cans roll easily from the top of the rack down to the bottom, where they sit in a little cradle waiting to be used. You pull out a can, and another rolls into its place. Really beats rooting around in the refrigerator knocking over other cans and bottles, cartons of milk and what have you." —Nancy Pearson
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.87 (available in two sizes and four colors).
11. A slim cutlery organizer to get that hectic drawer in order! It takes up very little space but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. The possibilities with the extra space are endless.
Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons, etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro
Get it on Amazon for $9.99 (available in two sizes and two colors).
PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above and available in four colors) for $9.98 too.
12. A set of food storage containers with airtight lids that'll remove the need for clunky cereal boxes and obnoxiously bright snack bags that are hard to fit neatly in a cabinet. They happen to be dishwasher-safe, too!
13. OR a set of glass canisters that'll stylishly hold your pasta, coffee beans, and treats because — I repeat — why do they come in bags that are so hard to store?? You'll get five variously sized canisters, each with a silicone ring on the included bamboo lids to ensure things stay fresh.
This set includes a 11.8", 8", 6.6", 5", and 4" canisters.
Promising reviews: "Very simple and elegant canisters. Adhesive works great and locks the jars very well. Adds a great touch to the kitchen and exactly as pictured." —Anela
"These canisters are beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. The seal on the lids works great, and the glass isn't too thin, which is what I worried about when researching containers. I love the variety of container sizes in this set. We will definitely be purchasing these again. They are an organizer's dream!" —Kathy C
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+.
14. An adjustable bakeware rack great for organizing baking sheets and cupcake pans and will make your cluttered shelf look ~pristine~ by providing a designated place for each one.
Promising review: "Loved it so much I bought a second one immediately! Works great for circular pans, 9x13 cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Having nonskid feet is a big plus." —Organization Freak/Hobby Cook
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles).
15. And a set of super convenient sheet pan dividers so you can finally say goodbye to your growing number of baking sheets taking room in the bottom cabinet. These allow you to cook everything at once without having to worry about oils or flavors spilling over (and easy removal if one thing is done sooner 👏🏾). As a bonus, these dividers are nonstick and dishwasher safe, too!
Prep'd is a small business that was founded in 2015 by two industrial engineers who believed cooking should be simple, easy, and ultimately fun.
Promising review: "A kitchen staple...These are great for so many reasons. We're in a mixed gluten household (one person has celiac and is diabetic, but we are not all doing a gluten-free diet). We can portion control and separate out gluten-free vs none on one pan. Plus, cleanup is just throwing in the dishwasher!" —J Fans
Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99.
16. Cute storage crates that come in six adorable colors! These bold colors will make storage and organization a little more fun.
Promising reviews: "I got the small, which is perfect for little things lying around. I really like it and will be getting another one to have a set. The best part is if you don't need it, you can easily fold it and store it away. Really cool idea." —mc97
"These are such great organizers! good quality, and I love the colors, perfect for produce or organizing my vitamins." —kaleeeeeeee
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $8+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
17. A super convenient K-Cup storage drawer because those ginormous pod boxes have absolutely no place in your kitchen. (Seriously, who has the space?). Instead of wasting an entire drawer for your coffee habit, this'll provide neat storage and easy access to your morning essentials. Just pop your Keurig on top to give it the throne it truly deserves.
Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups.
Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great, streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy, and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
18. Stackable under-cabinet drawers to organize all those cleaning supplies in the kitchen in a way that doesn't waste space. Some reviewers even use it to organize their food pantry. Basically, you've got options here.
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. (This is Brad's wife.)" —Brad J. Leahy
Get it on Amazon for $22.87 (available in two colors).
19. A baker's rack that provides extra counter space and storage space for all your kitchen essentials. You've got multiple shelves and even four hooks for hanging pans or cooking tools!
Promising review: "This thing is perfect, OK? I've got a studio apartment and don't really have a lot of room to work with. I had absolutely NO counter space, so this baking rack saved my life. I've got more room for groceries and plenty of prep space for getting food ready. You can fit a coffee pot and some containers of spices and still have the vast majority of the space left over for prep space. The storage underneath is adjustable, so you can make the space between the lower and highest levels larger or smaller. You easily could put a microwave on the bottom shelves and store other larger kitchen appliances." —Homeboy Gotcha
Get it from Amazon for $85.57 (available in four styles).
20. Or a foldable kitchen island cart with wheels for extra easy movement around the kitchen. This will provide the extra counter space you need for meal prep without permanently taking up room.
Promising review: "I have a tiny apartment with an even tinier kitchen, so that means I needed something like this! It's just big enough to provide a decent workspace without overwhelming my tiny apartment. Plus, since it's on wheels, it can be tucked away when not in use, which is a bonus! The wood top has been varnished or lacquered, so it can't be used as a cutting surface, but that's OK; I just put my favorite cutting board on top of it, and it's all good!" —mperryckdcbd
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three colors).
21. A genius water bottle organizer for all of those people who just have to get that cute water bottle every time they see one (*cough cough* me). This organizer can store up to nine bottles of your collection — depending on bottle sizing, of course.
Promising review: "I have a bad habit of buying reusable water bottles. This one is cute, this one has this feature, this one has that. What resulted was a cluttered cabinet, a ton of water bottles falling on me every time I went to get one, and I was only using the handful right at the front. This is a great solution! It keeps the cupboard organized and I can see what I have and quickly grab the bottle I need. As a bonus, it also creates a built-in limitation on how many water bottles I can have at any given time. Really recommend." —Miki
Get the three-shelf version from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in three other sizes).
22. A wall-mounted mug organizer that'll free up cabinet *and* counter space. Wouldn't you rather display your beautiful mug collection anyway?
This organizer holds up to 27 mugs!
Feger Furnishings is a small biz based in Durham, North Carolina. They create beautifully handcrafted mug, wine, and mason jar racks!
Promising review: "Love the style, the staining is very pretty and well done. The rack was physically lighter than I expected, but is sturdy and the mounting hardware is solid. Very happy with my purchase." —Holly
Get it from Feger Furnishings on Etsy for $65+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
23. A slim storage cart perfect for the space between the stove and fridge. Because it has wheels (!!), reviewers say it works great for small spaces and that they can store everything from canned foods to cleaning supplies to wine!
I have this cart in black, and it works perfectly for my kitchen! I have an awkwardly set-up kitchen, where the stove has no counter beside it, and there's no place for spices or utensils for easy access while I cook. This cart has more than enough room to hold all my spices, hot sauces, etc. And the last row is tall enough for my cooking sprays and oil bottles, too. The flat surface up top is where I hold my cooking utensils and spoon rest. It's saved me a major headache of moving back and forth in the kitchen! And because it's super slim and the same color as my stove, it blends in *perfectly*. It's 100% worth it in my book!
Promising reviews: "I bought this for a space between my fridge and the counter/cabinets. Because it is right next to my fridge, I can store onions and potatoes conveniently and shelf items that will eventually be refrigerated, thus freeing up some pantry space. It is easy to roll in and out with the attached handle... I was so happy to find this very narrow solution for my little nook." —Jay S
"Love that this does not require assembly aside from attaching the wheels! It's plenty sturdy enough. The wheels move great. I like that you can leave them to turn 360 or tighten them to only roll straight. I love the sleek design and that it has a solid front side to hide the clutter... I think this would be an amazing spice rack/small bottle storage for the pantry. All in all, a wonderful solution to my cluttered shelf!" —Barbara Neely Designs
Get it from Amazon for $123+ (available in black and white).
Pssst... If you're looking for a slim storage cart on the lower end of the price range, check out this bestseller for $21.99. It's plastic, but it does the same job!
24. A cabinet door organizer for those who don't want to look at the bright and awkwardly shaped plastic wrap boxes or cutting boards on their countertop.
Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble, and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry
Get it from Amazon for $16.87 (also available in a pack of two).
25. Or an entire pantry door organizer that can be hung or mounted! The shelves are also easily adjustable to your liking.
Some reviewers use it to organize their bathroom products, too!
Promising review: "I was looking for some extra storage options for my pantry. Since all the walls already had shelves and I was running out of space, the only possibility to create more storage was by the door. I originally found this product to be a bit pricey, but I have to say it’s worth the money. It’s very simple; a child could 'assemble' it in under five minutes. It holds a lot of stuff, even heavy cans; you just have to space the heavy and lighter stuff out. I did not use the sticky strips and whatever else that came with it to secure it even better to the door because just hanging it on the door makes it very stable. It’s a storage-lifesaver if you’re struggling with space!" —IslandLife
Get a 6-tier rack from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in two sizes).
26. A storage lid organizer so the clutter of the Tupperware drawer immediately disappears (you know the one!). This organizer is also adjustable, so it perfectly fits the size and number of lids you have.
The dividers are adjustable, so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have!
Promising review: "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have a storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer, my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." —Laura H.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes).
27. OOOR a set of space-saving silicone lids to eliminate the need for Tupperware altogether! These lids will easily cover up fruits, veggies, cans, and containers as is (that means no more going through cluttered drawers AND way fewer dishes!). These lids help opened food last longer and are leakproof and microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "I bought these to replace the lids on my Pyrex because they were all cracked. I have multiple-sized Pyrex, including rectangular ones. These lids are thin and stretchy which work perfectly around pretty much any dish. Even though they are all circular, they stretch to fit the rectangular ones great!" —Matza
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $9.99.
28. Cute hanging baskets so that your fruits and vegetables are out of the way and *not* taking up space on your already-limited countertops. Being super cute is just a bonus!
Base Roots is a Nevada-based small business that sells lots of modern and vibrant home decor.
Promising review: "My fruit basket arrived the day after I ordered it! I was so shocked. It looks beautiful in my kitchen and helps me avoid taking up precious counter space. It's one of the first things people comment on when they enter my apartment. So happy with this purchase!" —Nicole Rufus, Etsy customer
Get it from Base Roots on Etsy for $41 or from Amazon for $38.99.
29. An expandable colander to prevent you from needing to clear the entire sink in order to wash your fruits and veggies. The expandable handles ensure it fits your sink no matter the size!
This colander can expand from 14.5 to 19.5 inches. It's top-rack dishwasher safe as well!
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this. I leave it in my sink always. It makes washing fruits or draining pasta so much easier and has such a simple cleanup. It also adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen. I highly recommend it." —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six colors and in two-packs).
30. Or a genius clip-on strainer that'll fit *any* size pot or pan you're cooking with! TL;DR: It's time to throw out that bulky colander for this kitchen gem.
Fellow BuzzFeed editor Abby Kass loves this strainer:
"I recently picked one of these up, and it is such a game-changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it fits every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!"
Promising review: "Such a little thing can make all the difference! I use this daily on many different-sized pots, and it always works great. Easy clean-up, too! Love it so much that I have given it to friends — they look at me like this is a crazy gift, but they end up really liking it." —KacieJayne
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).
31. A plastic, wax paper, and foil organizer you can leave right on the kitchen counter or hang on your to maximize space like a pro. This organizer is also a time-saver, as it makes it easy to grab and get to cooking. It even comes with label stickers!
Promising review: "It's really nice having all three of our wrappings in one place. There's still room in our drawer with this in it, too. I love being able to cleanly cut plastic wrap... No longer will I waste plastic wrap or get it stuck to where is pulls off in pieces. This is also a great time saver. It's very easy to clean also. I highly recommend this particular unit. I like that it came with stickers too, that say 'Plastic,' 'Aluminum,' and 'Wax.' I was delighted at the price as well." —Cav Trooper 19D
Get it from Amanda for $29.98 (available in three sizes and four colors).
32. And a set of plastic bag organizers to match! This set comes complete with four differently labeled wooden boxes for sandwich bags, snack bags, and more.
Promising review: "This wrap dispenser has been an absolute kitchen time-saver for me. Its simplicity and functionality are unmatched. Not only does it keep my wraps neatly organized, but it also cuts like an easy piece. No more wrestling with tangled rolls or jagged edges — it provides clean, precise cuts every time. The build quality is robust, and it holds standard-sized rolls securely. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!" —Alice
Get it from Amanda for $39.99.
33. A simple shelving unit reviewers use for bigger items. Need a few more shelves for pots and pans? Here ya go. No place to put your new air fryer? This is the one! Use it as a cookbook shelf, for laundry storage, you name it.
Promising review: "I was able to put it together myself in less than 15 minutes. It’s great because I can change the sizes of the different levels anytime. I liked it so much I want to order a second one. Great buy." —CaitLG90
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five sizes, two colors, and with/without wheels).
34. An expandable dish rack complete with a large place for utensils and knife slots, cup holders, and a drainage system underneath. It's the perfect place to neatly store clean dishes without having an eye sore in the middle of the kitchen.
Does adulting mean getting excited about a dish rack? Because that's what's happening right now. I purchased this rack after my flimsy metal one finally gave out, and my goodness does it make a difference! The effective drainage alone is worth the price, but I love the two levels, the organization options, and the fact that the utensil holder has a safe slot for knives. Trust me, it's well worth the money!
Promising review: "I’ve bought a few Joseph Joseph kitchen items, and the quality is always beyond of my expectations. I was looking for a dish drying rack for a month [knowing] I wanted something sophisticated, great quality and easy to disassemble to clean it, and finally found Joseph Joseph popped on Amazon when searching. Whoever invented this, I can’t thank more than I should because everything was really well thought out to accommodate all our utensils, a huge plus to the quality and elegance of this product. I 💯% recommend this dish drying rack on top of all other well-known and not well-known brands. Very, very satisfied." —M Silva
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
35. OR a roll-out over-the-sink dish drying rack for those with no dishwasher and no room for a bulky dish rack beside the sink. Reviewers absolutely love how easy and compact it is!
Promising review: "I am impressed with this little thing. It can hold a lot…although I do typically only use it to dry those items that didn’t fully get dry in the dishwasher. I actually only bring it out for this reason. Another reason I love it….easily rolled up and put in a cabinet nearby when unneeded. I don’t like a lot of 'stuff' sitting around in my kitchen. Definitely a great purchase…especially for the price!" —Jamie Lamb
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four sizes and four colors).
36. A set of floating shelves you can use for cooking tools, glassware, bowls, spices, and more.
37. A game-changing pan and pot lid organizer that can be used upright or on its side for easy storage that'll fit your particular kitchen setup.
Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —L
Get it from Amazon for $15.87+ (available in three colors).
38. A bamboo burner cover perfect for small spaces that need a little extra room for meal prep. Just plop it on top of your stove for a spacious transformation, and remove it when you're ready to cook!
BuzzFeed writer Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for basically doubling her meal prep space:
"OK, so I just bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean, the math is all there."
Promising review: "This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." —Talyn Amber Skye
Get it from Amazon for $119.95 (available in four sizes).
39. And a set of color-coded cutting mats to save tons of space and decrease clean-up time. This set comes with a cutting board that has storage underneath for the seven included cutting mats for different food groups (veggies, cheese, beef, etc.). You'll go from needing two or three different cutting boards to one!
If you don't need the cutting board itself, the color-coded cutting mats are sold on their own, too! A pack of seven flexible cutting mats are available for $14.99.
Promising review: "LOVE! I absolutely love this cutting board with sleeves. I didn't realize how much time it saves me as I prep for meals. It's so easy to do your cutting, swap out the sleeve, and continue on prepping the meal. I don't have to swap and clean the cutting board in between prepping. A sleeve for all your needs comes included. There is also a small dip around the edges of the cutting board to prevent liquids from spilling down and over the side. The sleeve DOES NOT slip. It sticks very well, and I'm confident cutting and chopping even the smallest pieces." —Weezer
