1. A set of shelf dividers to organize your closet's top shelf and stack your sweaters and jeans without having them topple over constantly.
They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels. The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick.
Promising review: "I love these! They fit snugly over my shelf so they don't shift or move around. I have a lot of handbags and it's been a mess on my closet shelf for the ones that are floppy. I have limited closet space in a small home so my choices of where/how to store them are limited. This was the perfect solution. I plan on buying more when I get around to rearranging sweaters on shelves." —BarbraGenie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.34.
2. A 50-pack of super-slim velvet hangers so you can streamline your closet situation and fit in as many blazers, shirts, sweaters — you name it! — as you want.
Promising review: "These hangers do all the work for me. I was finally inspired to rid myself of flimsy, tacky dry-cleaner hangers and bulky plastic ones — I’d have to size up my clothes in order to determine which ones wouldn’t slide off the plastic. With these hangers, everything works, and the velvet is like an easy-to-use magnet for my clothes. Nothing slips. The space-saving design makes a surprising difference. I share a small master closet and thanks to these hangers my side is roomy and organized now." —E. Marshall

3. A hanging purse organizer to keep your prized handbag collection protected and within easy reach. No more having to shove your beautiful purses in the top corner of your closet, only for them to come crashing down every time you reach for them.
Promising review: "I was quite skeptical when I ordered this purse organizer but decided for the price, I'd go ahead and take the chance. Well! This is a winner. There's no assembly. It hooks over the clothes rod, right alongside the clothes hangers. I held my breath as I began to push through a couple of my larger purses. The larger ones protrude a bit on each end but the sling fits like a glove around the purse and prevents sliding. The smaller purses fit quite nicely. I like that my more costly bags will not be a dust catchall now and also are protected from scratching. All in all, I'm impressed with this product and happy with this purchase. It is a space saver. I recommend it. I hope it holds up well. I think it will." —Beje
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).
4. A pack of stacking shoe organizers designed to literally *double* the amount of storage space for your shoe collection while still displaying what each pair looks like.
Each organizer is adjustable to accommodate any type of shoe height. It also has an anti-slip surface so shoes stay put even at an angle.
Promising review: "I love these! Love, love, love them! I am so happy to be able to SEE MY SHOES!! They had been hiding in the bottom of a closet or under the bed or piled on top of each other for years. Now I can see every pair! And I have BIG feet! 10.5 Wide. And I have HIGH heels! Some are 3.5 inches high. And while you kinda have to finagle the larger, taller shoes a bit, they DO FIT. When the heels get that tall though, they have a tendency to slip, so I just turned them toward the wall. Works great!" —K. Adams
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $33.99 (available in black or white).
5. Or this hanging organizer if you have some unused closet space and want to use it to keep your shoes nice and tidy.

Promising review: "Made my closet so much more organized versus having my shoes on the floor all over. Hooks are great and material is strong." —BoyMom2020
Get it from Target for $10.
6. *OR* this over-the-door shoe organizer with 24 pockets so you can quickly see all of your favorite sandals, flats, or sneakers with just one glance. No more searching through the pile of shoes on your closet floor anymore!

Owner Nick runs this small business in Overland Park, Kansas. Check out the shop to find a handful of other clever life hack products.
Promising review: "These are a great addition for my teenage kids' closet. They have so many sweatshirts that used to be strewn about on the floor instead of hanging in the closet. These hangers make it easy for them to actually hang up their sweatshirts! The hangers are strong and well made." —Rebecca Scanlon
Get a pack of five from Venalli Builds on Etsy for $20 (available in three colors, also available in a pack of 10).

Promising review: "This hanger saves my doors! no more stickers and glue to my door, and they are made of aluminum. It's a nice finish and the material is strong to hold heavy or dual jackets. I like it, it's even better than Walmart stuff." —Catherine

Promising review: "I love these hooks. I have them in our closets (for hats, scarves, light jackets) and in our kitchen (for measuring cups and spoons). I love how easy they are to put up and take down. If you make a mistake and put it in the wrong spot, no problem! Just take it off and use one of the extra adhesives to put it on the right spot." —A. Tran
Get it from Amazon for $16.14.
14. Or a pack of two metal Command hooks that are basically the holy grail of organization products — they can hold up to 5 pounds, you don't need to use any hardware to hang them up, and they look great on your closet wall!
15. A hanging closet organizer with the capacity to hold purses, shoes, sweatshirts, or anything else you'd rather fold than hang up. You could even use it to plan out your outfits for the week — just fold up all of the day's clothes on each shelf so you can just grab the stack and get dressed in the morning!
This attaches at the top to your clothing rod in your closet, and it can hold a weight of up to 50 pounds. There are also two side pockets for holding odds and ends.
Promising review: "A must-have for NYC cramped apartment living! I made the mistake of buying a different and cheaper (less expensive) unit about 1.5 years ago. It could not hold all my heavy shoes and kept folding in and buckling and was unsightly. This is so sturdy!" —VulcanHunter22
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
16. A set of plastic shoe cubbies because a good sneaker collection is hard to come by, and you'll want to preserve and display them like the works of art they are.

Promising review: "A strong and durable hanger. These look like they will last for a while. Was looking for a way to save closet space and to make storing pants better and this is it! Using it not only to save closet space and as a better way to store pants, but also for color organizing." —Taylor Richardson
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in three colors).

19. A pack of hanging vacuum bags that magically make your winter clothes shrink down in size so they take up less space in the summer. Unlike other vacuum bags, these can be hung up right in your closet, so if a cold front comes and you actually need your coat, you can see exactly where it is instead of unzipping loads of bags that are stored in the back of your closet in order to find it.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Every time when I straighten my closet, I am very desperate, because I can’t save more space from my closet. There are too many bulky coats and out of seasonal clothes in my closet. I needed more space to store my clothes. After searching for solutions and finally decided that these hanging bags were my best choice. After using them, they work exactly successful. What a supreme product! It is a huge help to us when I need to store my bulky winter clothes. When you use it, I don't need to spend my time folding my clothes to pack away, just hanging the clothes on the hanging ring, and seal the sealing line by the clip. It is very easy to use. Really good-quality material. No broken or leaks. Now I only use two bags to store my 10 clothes. I have much more space to store my other clothes and my closet keep so well organized. Great product for the money!" —Aaron
Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four styles).
20. A Roll Keeper organizer for anyone with a large T-shirt collection and limited storage space. With this, you'll be able to see all of your T-shirts at once, which makes getting ready in the morning so much easier.
The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington. Take a peek at this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!
Check out this promising review from BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower who owns (and loves!) the Roll Keeper: "Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny-tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!"
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $12.74 (available in two colors).
21. A jewelry organizer with 80 (yes, 80!!!) clear pockets that make it easy to see all of your small earrings and rings. Just hang it up in your closet so you can pick out your jewelry as you pick out your outfit for the day.
Promising review: "OMG this is just what I was looking for!! Feels sturdy and good quality for the price. The pink color is adorable. Has 40 pockets on each side. Great for keeping your jewelry tangle and dust free. No zippers or anything on the pockets so can’t turn it upside down and probably would have to tape the openings when traveling to be safe, but it fits everything wonderfully: necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Perfect storage solution." —Wesley South
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 15 different styles).
22. Or a jewelry armoire that's hidden inside a full-length mirror — hang it on your closet door, step back, and then marvel at how genius it is. It's a great space-saving solution for people with a large jewelry collection but nowhere to currently put it.
23. A genius hanging boot organizer if you're sick and tired of your tall boots slumping to one side when you place them on your closet floor. This hanger can also help preserve the quality of your expensive boots so they look brand-new for years and years.
Promising review: "Needed a better way to store my expensive and extensive boot collection and this was perfect! I ordered one and loved it so much that I ordered another one. Perfect way to store them, and easy to assemble and use. The only thing I’d love is to be able to hang more on one system, but not everyone may appreciate that request, your closet would need to accommodate. You’ll need about 12" of width in your closet to use this." —marianne
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes that hold three or five pairs).
24. A tie rack holder so the next time you actually need to dress up, you can find your favorite tie in two seconds flat. Its hook rotates 360 degrees, so you can get a full view of your whole collection whenever you're putting together your look.
25. Some storage cubes if you have a really high ceiling and want to use every last inch of storage space. You might want to invest in a step stool to reach the top of these stackable cubes!
26. A hat organizer that essentially turns your beautiful hat collection into an equally beautiful work of art. Yes, this would only work if you have a big closet or an empty wall in your bedroom, but you're lucky enough to have the room, we say go for it!
27. Or this ingenious hat organizer if you're more of a baseball cap person. You can clip up to 10 caps onto just one hanger — now you might just be inspired to wear one of your older hats instead of that same grimy one you wear every day!
28. A 23-loop scarf organizer so you can finally see all the scarves you own instead of rummaging through that crumpled pile you've placed them in at the bottom of your closet.
29. A pack of adhesive light sensors if you have really bad lighting in your closet and you want to actually see your clothes when you're getting ready in the morning. Stick these battery-operated lights anywhere in your closet, and they'll come on automatically whenever they sense motion.
30. A pack of dresser organizers that stand up on their own, which makes them perfect for tidying up those empty shelves in your closet. And if you're lucky enough to have a few drawers in your closet, you can also use these to store small items like underwear and socks.
31. Or this collection of cotton storage bins perfect for soft, bulky items like towels and linens that can often be hard to keep tidy. Because these open from the front, you'll be able to easily access a clean towel as you're rushing to the shower in the morning.
32. An over-the-door eight-tier shelving unit that's normally used in a pantry, but many reviewers actually use this in closets to organize small items like accessories. Side note: Could those teeny-tiny baby shoes be any cuter?!
33. An over-the-door flip valet to provide a convenient place for you to plan out your outfit for the day. It's also a great spot to hang up any wrinkly clothes while you steam them.
34. A tank top hanger because those flimsy straps can be near impossible to keep hung up on regular hangers. Now you can hang up more tanks while being confident you won't find them on the closet floor come morning.
35. A garment rack that's a great solution if you happen to live in an apartment with practically no closet space. It increases your hanging space, and the shelving on the side provides more storage for folded clothes.
36. A honeycomb drawer organizer so you can see all of your underwear or socks as soon as you open your closet drawers in the morning. Marie Kondo would be so proud.
37. A custom organization system if you just want to start from scratch and completely overhaul your closet. Gone are the days of just one measly rod — now you'll have so much more hanging space as well as plenty of shelves to store your folded clothes and accessories.
You wearing all the clothes you've unearthed now that you've gotten your wardrobe organized and under control:
