1. A magnetic stove shelf on which you can stack your go-to spices, oils, and kitschy salt and pepper shakers.
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: "I had no problems with install. It’s secure and doesn’t move, and I was genuinely surprised at how much counter space I freed up. Now, it makes more intuitive sense to reach in front of me for my frequently grabbed cooking items on the StoveShelf (EVOO, S&P, etc.) instead of reaching off to the side to wherever I set it down last." —Online Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in three sizes and in three finishes).
2. A sleek magnetic storage bar so you say bye to your cracked knife block or — even worse — reaching your hand into a drawer filled with free-floating utensils.
This magnetic bar comes with mounting hardware and instructions to hang it up, and it is also compatible with Velcro or any kind of mounting tape.
Promising review: "I want to order another one!!! I wish I had thought to purchase one of these sooner. The magnet is strong and holds plenty of my everyday knives. I decided to put it on the side of my fridge and it holds perfectly when you remove the back and stick directly on. I didn't need anything extra to hold it in place either. Now I have more counter space." —RayJoni07
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six sizes).
3. A slim storage cart to utilize the dead space between your fridge and wall (or any appliance, really).
Promising reviews: "This is EXACTLY what I needed to fill the space between the cabinet and fridge. We removed an old, unwanted dishwasher and replaced the cabinets and there was this space that we didn't have any plans for so I ordered this cart to complete the collection. It looks awesome, holds a lot of needed items for the kitchen, freeing up the spice cabinet so it looks and feels more organized. It pulls out without any wobbling and seems very stable overall. I would order it again, maybe for the laundry room." —Mary P
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two colors).
4. A cutlery organizer that was 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.
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.60+ (available in two colors).
5. Or a countertop cutlery organizer if your kitchen storage is so severely limited that you don't have a drawer to work with.
Promising review: "I only have one drawer in my tiny kitchen, I know, ridiculous, right! With only one drawer I desperately needed something to store my silverware in; this counter top silverware holder is PERFECT!" —QuilterPris
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three colors).
6. A set of two cabinet shelf organizers so you can elevate your mug collection and make room for more because look, you *will* be buying at least one next time you go to Target.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE my new organizational wooden stands. They arrived today, as soon as I easily put them together I was surprised how great they looked. The texture is better than expected, very sturdy, looks great on my kitchen counter and turned my messy counter into a nice display of items I use daily. I’m so in love with these I’m going to buy more for other areas if the house and my adult kids think they’re great so thinking about getting them as stocking stuffers!!!!" —Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six finishes and two sizes).
7. A broom/tool organizer because no matter how carefully you tuck your Swiffer/broom/stick vacuum in that gap between your fridge and wall, they never fail to fall over and scare the bejeezus out of you.
The organizer has four slots and four hooks which can be used to hold all sorts of kitchen, bathroom, garage, and garden tools. Installation takes about five minutes and all it includes is drilling two holes for screws and then mounting the unit.
Promising review: "I purchased this to organize my brooms, mops, etc. They were always sitting beside one of my tall kitchen cabinets and looked like a total mess. This allowed me to make it look more organized and it turned out perfect. Couldn't be any happier with it." —DazzBoomer
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two colors).
8. A sleek K-Cup storage drawer where you can not only stow away the coffee pods you buy in bulk at Costo, but place your coffee machine so you're not wasting any extra counter space!
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 $22.99+ (available in various sizes, styles, and as a two-pack).
9. Or a hidden coffee pod tray that mounts right under your cabinet if you're the type of minimalist who likes to keep nothing (and I mean NOTHING) on your counters.
Promising review: "This space-saver K-Cup storage rack is wonderful! It is attractive and keeps my counter clutter-free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." —christine h
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
10. A bamboo burner cover ready to transform any teensy-tiny kitchen and give you 20 to 30 more inches of counter space! That might not sound like a whole lot, but my fellow NYC dwellers know it's nothing to sneeze at.
BuzzFeeder Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease:
"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 $27.95+ (available in seven sizes).
11. A sleek under-cabinet paper towel holder that requires no installation as it comes with peel-and-stick tape adhesive. This way, you can utilize dead space and not even have to give up an inch of your already limited countertop!
Promising review: "I’ve had this up for awhile now and even with my kids pulling on it, daily pulling of paper towels, etc., it has not moved. There are many ways to hang it but we chose the tape it came with, and it has not disappointed! It finally got our paper towels off the counter and gives us that little bit of extra space. Definitely love this!" —Jari Prieto
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in seven finishes).
12. 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.
Elypro — the creator of this nifty gadget — is a small biz!
Promising review: "I came across these in an Amazon review on TikTok and I just had to have them for my mugs. I have a lot of mugs but no space. I didn’t want a hanging mechanism for the mugs. I just needed a way to stack them. This is such a great product to help stack mugs. They’re easily adjustable for any size mug. They don’t topple over. They’re very sturdy. One of the best space savers I have in the kitchen!" —Magdalynn Tibbetts
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
13. A pull-out hidden spice shelf attachment to help you use up dead space under fixed shelves.
Psst — some reviewers also use this for easy access to pill bottles!

Get it from Amazon for $12.38.
14. Or an XL "Spicy Shelf" with an expandable design made to fit any cabinet or shelf.

"I now have these shelves in my RV and in my house. They are so handy. My boyfriend has more vitamin supplements than a GNC. These shelves ended our battle for cabinet space and helped us keep our supplements organized and separated for easy access. I also use them for my spices in the RV. It's a lifesaver!" —Happy
Get it from Amazon for $27.88+ (available with or without spices).
15. A two-tier lazy Susan strong enough to store your reserve of soup cans or spices. 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 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-sized bottles to be placed on the racks. Overall, this is a good purchase to help with organization." —vegmom
Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in 14 colors).
16. A macramé fruit hammock so your bananas, apples, and oranges can enjoy their last days on Earth in comfort. Little do they know they're about to be devoured. 😈
KnappsKnots is a San Diego–based small business from Anastasia Knapp.
Promising reviews: "Absolutely loved it! Perfect if you have little counter space." —Jessi
"Love it. Might get another for bread and buns. The clearance between our counter and upper cabinets is weirdly short — can’t fit most countertop items — so this was the perfect solution." —pogtotes
Get it from KnappsKnots on Etsy for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
17. A space-saving sliding tray ideal for coffeemakers, toasters, and other small appliances you use daily but hate having to move.
Promising review: "Such a simple idea, but oh, how helpful this is. My husband pulls the coffeemaker out from under the cabinet when it’s brewing and forgets to put it back when it’s done, so I do it. Such a simple idea, yet this rolling thing is fantastic, and with one finger, I can roll it back under, and there’s no sloshing. Even my husband, a born skeptic who thinks these kinds of things are just junk, is showing people, 'hey look at this.' LOL. This is a keeper." —Kirsten
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of two or three).
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 $23.99+ (available in six finishes).
19. A wall-mounted grocery bag dispenser because try as you might, you always forget your reusable totes and then end up with a cabinet full of post-Target-trip plastic bags.
Promising review: "I had a handmade bag to hold my plastic grocery bags, FOR YEARS!! When it finally tore so badly that I could no longer use it, I found this item. It's perfect! It's well made, has a stainless finish, and no sharp edges. It's mounted on the inside of my cabinet door, making it very convenient, and freeing up some space in my cabinet. It holds 25–30 bags, probably more if you really stuff them in. I really like this dispenser." —Cubby
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
20. A nifty pair of Mason jar holders you can mount to floating shelves or in your pantry so you can save some space but still keep in-demand ingredients at an arm's reach.
Tidy Jars is a Wisconsin-based small biz that specializes in organization products to maximize space.
Promising review: "This was the perfect solution for my kitchen spices that come in oversized containers. I had the jars and these brackets help me save space in my open cabinets. They were a breeze to install!" —Courtney
Get it from Tidy Jars on Etsy for $15.99+ (available in two lengths and two jar mouth sizes).
21. A shelving unit designed specifically for your water bottle and travel mug collection. First, TikTok got you to buy a Stanley and then it got you to buy an Owala, and honestly, you know you'll get whatever's next, too.
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 it on Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
22. A slim profile pull-and-rotate cabinet organizer with space for both short and tall pantry items like spices, baking soda, tomato paste — you name it.
Promising review: "TikTok inspired me. Guys, this thing is the real deal. Everything that doesn't fit on my spice rack ended up cluttering my cabinets. This thing solved that problem efficiently, quickly, and reasonably. We added a little extra double-sided tape to the bottom to make it extra secure. Love it." —Kaitlyn B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.05.
23. A magnetic kitchen organizer you can slap to the side of your fridge and not have to think about it again. It's a great option for renters since you don't have to go drilling any holes or YouTubing any videos on how to use a stud finder.
Promising review: "Small but strong. It's a perfect addition to a small (usually messy) kitchen. Now I always know where the paper towels are. The top shelf is a great place to keep often-used items (honey, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, etc.), and the hooks at the bottom work well for small pot holders. The magnet holds well — I have not had any issues with the rack sliding down the side of my fridge. I think this is a great product." —C. A. Fuchs
Get it from Amazon for $25.
24. 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. It's easy to pull the hooks up and move them when you decide you want them somewhere else, and 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 $76.36.
25. A cabinet- or drawer-friendly lid organizer so you don't have to go through 27 Tupperware lids next time you're being responsible and trying to put away leftovers.
The organizer has five adjustable dividers, so you can even sort lids by size or color. PS: YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions.
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 $15.99+ (available in three sizes).
26. A double-sided tea organizer 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.
This is also from YouCopia!
Promising review: "I'm very impressed with this product! My cabinet was overflowing with boxes of tea bags. This little container stores a lot of tea bags and takes up very little space. I highly recommend." —Beth McGarry
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
27. A large 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.
28. A set of versatile magnetic hooks because shoving your oven mitts in your tiniest kitchen drawer has resulted in many fights to free them. Instead, just hang them up the side of your fridge!
Promising review: "These hooks are amazing! I have very little kitchen space and don't want to drill a bunch of holes in a rented apartment. These hooks are great for the fridge, microwave, and stove hood. I especially like that they are deep enough that I can face my measuring cups and spoons outward so I can see the sizes at a glance. You won't be disappointed in these hooks. Highly recommend." —BAJ
Get them from Amazon for $4.39+ (available in multiple pack sizes).
29. A wooden 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 lid is held on with magnets so it's easy to refill when necessary.
Each unit is made of solid birch wood. If you order the unassembled version, the seller recommends using wood glue to put it together.

Get it from Southern Miss Design on Etsy for $42.50 (available in three finishes).
30. And a similar plastic, wax paper, and foil organizer that can be wall-mounted or simply plopped on a shelf. That way, you don't have to deal with cardboard boxes and only being able to find your tinfoil when it's wax paper you need.
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... I will no longer waste plastic wrap or get it stuck to where it 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 $23.98+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
31. A pack of six cord bundlers so you can organize unruly Instant Pot, toaster, and panini press cords instead of having to bat them out of your way every time you look through your pantry.
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 facelift. 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 $13.05.
32. A space-saving yogurt organizer if you're so grown that you simply can't resist a BOGO Chobani sale.

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 $12.99+ (available in packs of one, two, or three).
33. And 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 $9.55+ (available in nine colors).
