1. A cutlery organizer smartly designed to save a buttload of space. Sick of fishing around a jam-packed drawer on the search for your favorite fork? Give it a cozy, reliable place to call home.
I bought this a few months ago and I'm a little embarrassed about how often I think about it. For the first week we owned it, my boyfriend and I both commented daily on what a smart design it is, how much room it freed up in our drawer, and how we wished we knew about it sooner. If you — like me — are at that stage in your late twenties where practical, problem-solving products put a ridiculously wide smile on your face, I'm sure you'll love it.
Promising review: "Fits my drawer like a glove AND holds my set for 12! Heavy gauge plastic construction that does not give even when fully loaded. This has opened up so much more space in my drawer making it easier to find other serving pieces and the odd items in that drawer. Love it, highly recommend it. Before purchasing, measure your drawers to make sure it will fit. I love that it can lie parallel to the drawer front. I was concerned that my flatware would stick out too tall for my stock cabinetry drawer, but that is not a problem." —Kindle Customer

2. A magnetic stove shelf on which you can stack your go-to spices, oils, and kitschy salt and pepper shakers. It's also a convenient place to dry out a turkey wishbone if your family is into that tradition.
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action.
Promising review: "There was no set up...Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in five finishes).
3. A set of super-strong magnetic strips to elevate beer and soda bottles so you can nix the annoying cardboard holders they come in. Plus, now you can free up an extra few inches underneath where you can slide in your XL bag of string cheese.
The set comes with two magnetic strips which can be arranged in three different positions. Each holds six bottles.
Promising review: "Works great in my fridge. Super strong and frees up space on the bottom. I only have an inch of clearance but it does allow me to slide things under it and I no longer deal with falling over bottles." —Raemi
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $29.99.
4. A pack of six cord bundlers so you can organize unruly appliances and electronics. No more tripping over rogue laptop chargers or KitchenAid cords.
The bundlers work like any other Command product — with damage-free adhesive.
Promising review: "I have one of these attached to almost every cord-having thing I own, and for maybe $30 in total I feel like my whole life got a face lift. My stand mixer looks better on the counter, and it stays clean even when everything else is a mess. My space heaters store so neatly in the linen closet. I have an HDMI cord bundled to the back of each TV. There's a bundler stuck between my car's dash and console, which holds two phone chargers. Truly, especially for the price, I could not recommend something more highly." —Amber Stewart
Get it from Amazon for $5.27+ (available in packs of two and six).
5. A handmade acrylic sandwich bag holder you can slip in a drawer or leave propped up on your counter for ultimate convenience. It has slots for snack-, sandwich-, quart-, and gallon-sized food storage bags and the lids are held on with magnets so it's easy to refill it when necessary.
Vandue is a San Diego, California–based small biz that specializes in handmade home decor and gifts.
Promising review: "Love this item. It’s awesome that it’s clear so you can see how many of each you have left. Magnets are strong. Well made!" —Tara Schmidlan
6. A three-tier metal utility cart with four wheels so you can zip it from room to room as you tidy up. Use it as extra pantry storage or for office organization.
Promising review: "My daughter is using this to store her makeup and toiletries. It was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. It wheels on the carpet very nicely. I love that the shelves are adjustable in height. Some other carts were not. It holds a lot of items and it looks nice in her room. The color is a bit more toward green than aqua, but that's OK. I would definitely buy another if we needed additional storage." —M Winkle
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in four colors).
7. A macrame fruit hammock ready to home the precarious pile of lemons, limes, and cuties that's been piling higher and higher on your counter. One more and the structural integrity could be completely compromised — so might as well make the switch!
Macra-yay Macrame is an Indianapolis-based shop from Lesli Lenover.
Promising review: "The cutest ever! It has freed up my kitchen counters and given them a little fun decor at the same time. Super easy to install!" —Nikki Ferritto
Get it from Macra-yay Macrame for $32.
8. A set of six fridge organizers so you'll know exactly where you put your sour cream instead of having to take every. single. item. out and watch as your fajitas lose steam.
Built-in handles make the containers easy to move around and refill. If you could use even more clarity on what's where, you can add your own labels like the reviewer did above!
What's included: Five drawers and a dedicated 14-slot egg holder.
Promising review: "I love these things so much. I just got my first apartment with my boyfriend and it looked so messy in our little fridge and now it looks really appealing and everything is easy to get to. The quality of them is so good, I’m honestly impressed. They’re very sturdy and the egg holder is so cute and holds 14 eggs!" —Faith Sperry
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $22.99.
9. A stainless-steel sink caddy with a drip tray so your sponge doesn't create a puddle that snakes its way down your countertop and ultimately ruins your fresh roll of paper towels.
10. A set of versatile magnetic hooks because shoving your oven mitts in your tiniest kitchen drawer has resulted in multiple fights to free them. Instead, just hang them up the side of your fridge!
Promising review: "These little things are strong!! I love them. I thought they would be bigger so when I first opened them I was disappointed, but when I put one near the vent hood on my stove it grabbed right to it and is STRONG!! I have heavy metal measuring cups hanging from them and a few in my tool shed. Definitely worth the money spent and I would buy more if I needed them!" —Gypsy Forest
Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in packs of 6, 15, 20, 28, and 60).
11. A custom mount for KitchenAid attachments so you don't have to store them in the bowl of your mixer and then temporarily relocate them every time you're ready to bake.
Superhero DIY is a Broomfield, Colorado-based shop with 3D-printed storage solutions as well as cosplay props, costume accessories, collectibles, and more.
Promising review: "These are so amazing! I had no idea they existed. I’ve been storing my attachments in the bowl, which has not only caused scratches in the stainless bowl over time, but the extra attachments would also be loose and taking up valuable space on my counter when I was baking and only using one attachment. It was annoying! This keeps them handy, but put away and I can select the attachment I need while the others stay put. So handy. Absolutely recommend!" —Marissa
Get a set of four from Superhero DIY for $7.89+ (available in eight colors).
12. A nonskid three-tier pantry organizer ready to save you from buying yet another thing of cinnamon because yours is seemingly off exploring Narnia.
I have the 15-inch one and it fits in my standard-sized cabinet ~perfectly~ and allows me to see all of my spices so I don't have to rifle through them and make a mess every time I'm cooking. Ofc if spices are only part of your issue, it can also be used to hold extracts, canned veggies, sauces, etc.!
Promising review: "I added this item to my shopping list several weeks ago and I’m so glad I finally committed to buying it. As a vegetarian, I’ve found that I have to add double the spice just to get a real kick in the dishes I prepare. Not to mention, making sure that I have all the spices that I’m going to need while being quarantining/ social distancing. With that said, my spice cabinet was atrocious before I got these racks. And I am so happy to finally be able to grab my spices without knocking over the other ones and making even more of a mess. I didn’t know somethings so small and plain could bring me so much joy. Buy it now! You will not be disappointed." —Arie M.
Get it from Amazon for $9.81+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).
13. Or a 30-spice door rack if there's no getting around the fact that your collection has outgrown its designated cabinet.
Each strip has five clips which fit most standard spice bottles (1.5 to 1.75 inches in diameter). The strips also come with pre-applied tape so all you have to do is peel and stick.
Promising review: "Love, love, love this! I have old narrow cabinets and not nearly enough of them so I desperately needed a new way to organize all my herbs and spices. Took a chance based on a list of cool new things and couldn't be more happy with this product! It came with 30 grippers for only $10. I didn't even have to screw them into my cabinets. If you follow the directions and let them cure 24 hours, the self-adhesive works great! I plan on buying a few sets for gifts!" —Brandi Y.
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
14. A set of adjustable mug organizers so you can confidently open your cupboard knowing an avalanche of mugs isn't about to fall on you.
Psst — if you want to see them in action, check out this viral TikTok of the mug organizers that's clocked millions of views.
Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is, and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more, and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
15. A roll-up dish rack ideal for those who don't have enough counter space for a traditional drying rack. It's a multi-tasker, too: Reviewers say they also use it for rinsing produce.
The rack is made from food-grade stainless steel that's rustproof and corrosion resistant. The manufacturer says it's suitable for most standard-sized sinks.
Promising review: "I love the versatility of this. You simply roll it up and put it out of the way when you're not using it. Perfect for freeing up valuable counter space!" —Kimberly Gunn
Get it from Amazon for $15.97.
16. Or a larger over-the-sink rack if you could use some extra room for dish soap, sponges, and all of the cups you finally collected from various household surfaces.
The compact but sizable rack can be adjusted based on the width of your sink (it stays in place with the aid of suction cups) and all of the parts can be disassembled and rinsed in the dishwasher.
What's included: One dish rack, one bowl rack, one fruit basket, one knife and cutlery holder, one utensils holder, one cutting board holder, seven utility hooks, and one detergent rack.
Promising review: "We recently went from a countertop stove to a range/oven combo, and we lost counter space. I had seen this advertised on FB and thought I would give it a shot. Oh man! This is a game changer! It's a major space saver, it's sturdy and holds my pots and a pans, has a special spot for bowls, and makes my life tons easier! If you are thinking about getting it, just take my word for it. You won't regret it!" —Jennifer Rogers
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in two colors)
17. A double-decker bread box with room for the bags of focaccia, sourdough, and ciabatta you couldn't resist while waiting in line at Trader Joe's. This way, you can keep them off your counter and out of harm's way (AKA somewhere your pup/cat can't reach them).
Promising review: "Love this bread box. I've been shopping around for quite a while now because I wanted the perfect fit and this is it. 😍 It's very sturdy and well made, holds quite a bit of bread! Or, veggies, pastry whatever you want, can go in it." —Rachel Kliewer
Get it from Amazon for $52.94.
18. A three-tier corner shelf you can arrange in whatever fashion fits your space best. That way, you can utilize the extra inches between your countertops and cabinets and give random bits and bobs a place to call home.
Promising review: "I love this stand! It’s so perfect for my coffee corner. I am able to get everything organized and utilize the space on my counter. The shelves are really sturdy and not wobbly at all. They easily support everything I want to put on each shelf." —McKenna's Mommy
Get it from Amazon for $27.59+ (available in four colors).
19. A canning jar lid organizer so you can stop throwing them into a cabinet all willy nilly and actually know where they're located next time you're ready to seal something.
Middle J Tech is an Arlington Heights, Illinois–based small biz. Each ring rack can hold up to 12 rings while the lid rack can hold up to 24 lids.
Get it from Middle J Tech for $19.95 (available in four colors or a custom color if you message the seller).
20. A space-saving yogurt organizer if you're so grown that you simply can't resist a BOGO Chobani sale.
Storage Theory is a Cedar Rapids, Iowa–based small biz that specializes in all sorts of problem-solving goods. Their yogurt rack can hold up to four Greek yogurt containers, and it attaches to your fridge via included peel-and-stick adhesive strips.
Promising review: "I got this to hold Greek yogurts and Just Crack an Egg cups, and it works perfectly for that! It's a great way to utilize extra space that's normally just vacant. I love that I could support a small, local business too!" —Gabrielle Sherman
Get it from Storage Theory on Etsy for $12.87+ (available in packs of one or two).
21. A wall-mounted pot hanger where you can suspend your entire collection in plain view. If cabinet space is scarce, this is an easy way to add extra storage.
The wall-mounted unit includes a six-track wooden shelf (so you can place lids vertically) and six swiveling hooks for hanging pots and pans. Once securely attached to the wall, the organizer can hold up to 30 pounds.
Promising review: "Easily my favorite kitchen item. I have a tiny kitchen that only has two cabinets for storage, so my oven was my storage for pots and pans until I bought this. Now I don't have to pull eight items out of my oven just to preheat and bake something. Installation was easy, took about 10 minutes. I hit two studs and I could do a pull up off this pot rack. Does not come with drywall anchors, so if you're not going to put it in studs I would recommend some good quality drywall anchors. However, those silver brackets can move anywhere on the wooden slats so you should be able to easily hit two studs. My favorite thing about this pot rack is the hook design; the hooks won't fall out when you sloppily hang a pot up on it because they're dropped in from the top of the pot rack and the design is brilliant. It's also easy to pull the hooks up and move them when you decide you want it somewhere else. You can store lids or stock pots or other items on the shelf above the pots. Love, love, love this pot rack." —Patricia R.
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
22. A coffee pod dispenser you can mount right to the side of your machine or wherever else is convenient. Jars are cute, but having to reach your hand into the bottom of one isn't.
The two-row dispenser holds 10 coffee pods while the three-row option holds 15.
Promising review: "Fits perfect and so convenient." —Jacqueline A. Malloy
Get it from Amazon for $12.21+ (available in two sizes and colors).
23. A cabinet- or drawer-friendly lid organizer so you don't have to go through 27 Tupperware lids next time you're ready to put away leftovers.
The organizer has five adjustable dividers so you can even sort lids by size or color.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is 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 it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes).
24. A two-tier lazy Susan strong enough to store your reserve of soup cans and San Marzano tomatoes (simply the best). Plus, since it's nonskid, nothing will come flying out at you even if your rental's shelves are majorly uneven.
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 sized bottles to be placed on the racks. Overall, this is a good purchase to help with organization." —vegmom
Get it from Amazon for $10.63+ (available in 14 colors).
25. A mounted stemware holder you can install under kitchen cabinets, customized floating shelves, or your wooden bar cart.
Depending on the type/size of your stemware — thin Champagne flutes vs. big ol' Bordeaux glasses — the rack holds 9–12 glasses.
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 fit the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in rows of three or four, packs of one or two, and four finishes).
26. A cabinet door organizer with room for cutting boards, plastic wrap, baking sheets, and whatever else plagues your kitchen cabinets.
You can hang the steel rack over a cabinet door via a set of included hooks or you can mount it directly to a door or wall with the included hardware. It can support roughly five standard-sized cutting boards.
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 $17.97+ (available in packs of one or two).
27. And for the other cabinet door... an over-the-door bag holder for those who never throw away plastic shopping bags because who knows when they could come in handy!
PS: The consensus among reviewers is that it can hold roughly 30 plastic shopping bags or 15ish reusable totes.
Promising review: "This item couldn’t come fast enough. I was reorganizing my kitchen and as I’m doing under the sink I’m like I NEED something for these stupid bags but not something bulky that takes up space since my kitchen space is limited. It is smaller than it looks in the picture which was great because I was hoping it didn’t take up too much space in the cabinet. I love it. I didn’t count how many bags it held but it held plenty. No more big ball of ugly bags everywhere under my cabinet!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.49.
28. An accordion wall rack you can use to hold your mug collection — or at least a fraction of it — because there's no way you're going to part with any of them even if you run out of cabinet space.
The rack has 13 pegs and can expand up to 3.5 feet across. I have one in my kitchen and I use it for mugs and masks. At first, I was worried it wouldn't be sturdy enough but I've had it up for more than a year now and there hasn't been a single mug casualty!
Promising review: "For some unknown reason, my family decided I needed to start collecting coffee mugs. Most are really unique, whimsical, beautiful, snarky (think early morning before coffee — lol!), and took up WAY too much room hidden in the cabinets. I tried the cheaper expanding racks before — and make several very lucky catches when a mug slipped off or a peg pulled loose. This one is — by far — superior! Like a Yugo versus a Cadillac! I bought three and they are FULL. They make interesting (and humorous) wall decor on the wall next to the breakfast bar, and visitors always stop and study them." —Kim D.
Get it from Amazon for $14.89.
29. A spinning tea carousel because you're sick of spending five minutes every day freeing the box of tea that gets stuck in the narrow drawer you've shoved it in.
The carousel can hold up to 60 bags of tea and it spins a full 360 degrees.
Promising review: "I didn't realize what my home was missing. This carousel is perfect for the kitchen. It isn't too big or small. (I can stow mine away in the cupboard if I need more counter space.) It is great for entertaining guest. It eliminates having to pull out every tea box, to recall which flavors one has. It has a classy 360 spin and eight to ten bags can fit per pocket square. It's fun to organize." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two finishes).
30. A set of wire baskets where you can store your bounty of fresh produce and — in the back — the processed snacks that you absolutely love but aren't as eager to show off.
Promising review: "I love these baskets so much that I went wild and bought eight!! Love the bronze color as it fits perfectly with my kitchen and the size fits perfect on the shelf!! The main thing I love is the slot for a label because if there’s not a clearly marked label, things wouldn’t be placed correctly or be found by my lovely hubby LOL. I’m planning to buy the smaller one later to completely finish my pantry but for now I’m very happy!!" —Diana
Get the set of two from Amazon for $30.49+ (available in six sizes and five finishes).
31. And a pair of floating shelves with mighty organization potential. Use them for spices and cookbooks or, as one reviewer did, a wall-mounted indoor herb garden!
The shelves come with four screws so you won't need to purchase anything for installation — just have a screwdriver on hand!
Promising review: "These shelves are so beautiful! My bathroom doesn't have a counter around the sink so this is perfect. It is modern and sleek and the wood and cast iron shelves are VERY well built and sturdy. I was surprised that these are such high quality considering the price." —Vincent
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five finishes).
