1. A pack of stacking shoe organizers that will 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

2. A pots and pans organizer to stack your most-used skillets in your kitchen cabinets for easy access. It's adjustable so you can fit different shaped pots and pans on it with ease.
You can store up to five pots and pans on this handy organizer.
Promising review: "I have been wanting to organize my kitchen cabinets for years. Finally got tired of lifting three pans to get the one I need. They were very easy to assemble and adjust as needed for the correct spacing. They were also very sturdy. I have eight skillets and I ordered two of these racks. These are the perfect solution for my cabinet. Gave me more space than I had before and it's so much easier to get to my skillets now. I love them. Would recommend them to anyone." —Piper L.
Get it from Amazon for $22.97.
3. A honeycomb drawer organizer so you can see all of your underwear or socks as soon as you open your drawers in the morning. Marie Kondo would be so proud.
The dividers snap together to create the individual slots. Some reviewers said these can be easily cut to fit the exact measurements of your drawer.
Promising review: "I needed something to organize my socks, saw this, and thought it looked like it would work. I live in the Pacific NW where our winters aren't particularly frigid, but they ARE cold and damp, so I tend to wear a lot of wool or thicker acrylic knit socks. This is exactly what I needed. Size is super, and it's easy to put together once I figured out that the buttons are easier to get into the slots if you DON'T try to push them but instead rock them from side to side. Really, I couldn't be happier with these. Much better than I expected, and exactly what I need." —L. Mountford
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sets of two, four, or eight).
4. A slim storage tower that slides right into that awkward space between your washing machine and dryer and holds all of your laundry essentials. You can also place it in the gap between your fridge and cabinets for some sneaky kitchen storage!
This rolling tower measures 29.25 inches high, 21 inches long, and 5 inches wide.
Promising review: "Love this. Even after a few months, I wheel it out from its discreet place between the fridge and the furnace and still get a little thrill at all it holds and hides away. Have 25 cans of food plus cup noodles and rice on it currently and it handles it all well. Glides silently and effortlessly. Only possible drawback is it does feel a bit flimsy, but as long as you aren't rough or have kids who would push it over you are good to go!" —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
5. A pair of stackable water bottle organizers so you can stop shoving all of your drinking vessels into random corners of your cabinets. With this, you can easily see all of your water bottles at once and pick one out without the rest of them avalanching.
Promising review: "These bottle holders are great for keeping all of our water bottles nearly organized. No more shuffling things around to get what you actually need or trying to hold the bottles in the cabinet as you're opening/closing. Was worried that the plastic would be flimsy and 'cheap,' but its actually very nice and thick. Stacking them is easy too. I will be getting more!" —imanurse
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six sizes).
6. A macrame fruit hammock because even your apples and oranges deserve a fancy place to kick back and relax in. But seriously, this ingenious storage solution frees up your counter space while also reminding you of all the fresh fruit you should eat before it goes bad!
Knapps Knots is a San Diego-based small business owned by Anastasia Knapp who is quite possibly making the cutest macrame and wood crafts you've ever seen.
Promising review: "Absolutely loved it! Perfect if you have little counter space." —Jessi
Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
7. This brilliant shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo — now you can use up every square inch of storage space your closet has to offer. Reviewers use the shelves to hold jeans and sweaters and the bottom rod to hang up tops.
Promising review: "I’m basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can’t speak to long term, but it’s amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can’t see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that’s just half-filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." —BobbyL
Get it from Amazon for $24.29+ (available in two colors).
8. 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 $17.99.
9. A vintage-inspired storage ottoman designed to keep your blankets, extra linens, or even your extensive candle collection stored away. It also provides some extra seating in whatever room you place it in *and* the lid can be flipped over and turned into a tabletop!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has and looooves this ottoman:
"I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."
Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.
Get it from Amazon for $49.49 (available in six colors).
10. A three-tier metal utility cart for organizing craft supplies, kitchen accessories, makeup, or really anything you'd need to take around the house with you.
The cart comes with three bins you can hang on the side of the trays as well as removable tray dividers to keep things more orderly.
Promising review: "This is such a great value! Super cute, quick and easy to assemble, even comes with a screwdriver. Generous-sized trays — this organizer can hold A LOT. I love the wheels; they make it so easy to move around. Very sturdy construction and the removable dividers were an unexpected and happy surprise. I bought this for makeup storage but I could see using this just about anywhere. Very pleased with this purchase!" —Rh121
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors).
11. A hanging closet organizer designed 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 in 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: "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 $30.59+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
12. A cutlery drawer organizer so you can actually find your favorite fork for once (admit it — we all have a favorite fork). The space-saving design also frees up the rest of your drawer.
One tray fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery.
Promising review: "THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately, we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did!" —oceantiff
Get it from Amazon for $10.19+ (available in three colors).
13. A tower of slide-out baskets perfect for organizing products under your bathroom sink. Have lots of skincare products? Place all of them in one of these baskets and just slide it out and place it on your counter when you're doing your skincare routine.
The bins also come with dividers that you can place inside to keep everything as organized as possible.
Promising review: "This product was sooo easy to put together!! I recently moved into a new house and have way too many skincare products that I’m not using every day as part of my routine. I needed a way to organize them and this was perfect and has the area underneath my sink looking so neat and organized! I fit my surplus of skincare, all my nail stuff, and some extra bath stuff all inside. I love it!!" —B
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two colors, three styles, and also four-packs).
14. A set of floating bookshelves ideal for small spaces that don't have enough room for a large bookcase. It also turns your favorite books into works of art!
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 review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in two sizes and in sets of three and in two colors).
15. A pack of vacuum-sealed storage bags for compressing your bulky bedding or off-season clothing that is currently crowding your closet. You'll be amazed at how flat everything gets when you suck all the air out of the bags!
Maitland Quitmeyer, a member of the BuzzFeed Shopping team, LOVES these! Here's what she has to say: "WHY didn't I buy these vacuum storage bags sooner?? I chose the large size (as opposed to the biggest size, called 'jumbo') because it seemed easier to move and store — jumbo is probably perfect for bedding, duvets, etc! And just one large bag was plenty to store 9 or 10 *very* large winter sweaters — all collapsed down to a fraction of their size. And it was surprisingly effortless, too! I am literally going to order another pack of five today — my closet game is forever changed!!!"
Get a set of five from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in four sizes; also available in a 10 pack).

16. Or an under-bed storage bin so you can stow away sweaters, scarves, or blankets you don't use that often, but still want to have easy access to.
It's less than 6 inches tall — perfect to slide under beds that sit low to the floor.
Promising review: "This is large, and there’s two! Fits perfectly under my bed and holds so much stuff. Hold my winter casual clothes and pajamas and the other holds my summer swimsuits and casual sundresses. I’m very impressed! The sides are collapsible but fit perfectly under my bed that has drawers and the bungee board so it’s pretty tight under there but they fit perfectly. I emptied several totes and organized my closet. 👍🏻👍🏻 Definitely recommend." —Houston
Get two bins from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in three colors).
17. A clear shower curtain with pockets that can store bathroom essentials like shampoo, body wash, or razors. It's a game changer for anyone with a tiny bathroom!
You can hang this shower curtain with the pockets facing either the inside or outside, depending on what you need to store.
Promising review: "I needed more storage in my shower because there are no built-in niches and I only have room for a narrow shower caddy. I saw this idea on Pinterest, but it was geared toward college dorms and small apartments. I found that it works great in any size bathroom. It has nine pockets of different sizes, so you can store many different items. The liner itself is of heavy plastic and the pockets are of sturdy mesh. The overall quality is very good and it does not feel too thin. My shower rod is screwed into the wall, so I am not concerned about putting too many heavy items in the pockets, but if you have a tension rod, you should be aware not to overload it." —Minerva King
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors).
18. A cabinet door organizer if you haven't been able to figure out a good place to store awkwardly shaped things like cutting boards and aluminum foil.
Promising review: "This thing made my life so much easier. Instead of trying to shove all my tinfoil and sandwich bag boxes into one drawer I can now put them all in here. Saves space and fits great over cabinets! And, it’s super easy to put together." —Maggie Hundshamer
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in a two-pack).
19. A vinyl rack built for anyone whose collection is currently sitting in a dusty plastic bin at the bottom of your coat closet. This handmade rack can hold up to 40 albums, and you can flip through all the records with ease to find the one you want to play.
Cilpastore is a small business based in Latvia that creates handmade vinyl holders, organizers, and home decor.
Promising review: "Arrived beautifully! Simple design yet solid build and impeccable quality! Will definitely buy again if I need to expand my LP vinyl collection." —Jasrie
Get it from Cilpastore on Etsy for $50.70 (available in four finishes).
20. A storage cabinet sneakily designed to fit behind your door — bet you didn't think of adding storage there! If you don't have a medicine cabinet, this is a smart alternative for keeping your pills and supplements organized.
Promising review: "This is a must-have for any small space. My bathroom has no medicine cabinet, just a mirror, and is pretty small, so storage is a huge deal. My girlfriend came across this item, so I figured I would give it a shot. I know it states it needs a two-person install, but I put this together and hung it in about an hour by myself with very minimal effort. This fits so much stuff, it really is amazing, and it does not impede any operation of the door. I can't fully explain how much I recommend this. I'm about to order the mirror version for my bedroom for colognes and little knick-knacks to declutter the countertops." —happy shaver
Get it from Amazon for $219.99.
21. A set of cascading closet organizers — they magically decrease the amount of space your clothes take up, allowing you to fill your closet with even more clothes!
Watch in amazement as your closet suddenly gains so much storage space!
Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t expect them to work as well as it sounds...but they absolutely work as well as they sound! Makes MUCH more room in my closet. I used for purses, jackets, tank tops, dresses and has been holding very well. When I need something, just push the others aside and raise up the one I need. Very pleased with my purchase!" —Dennis A. Evans
Get a four-pack on Amazon for $10.95 (available in four other quantities).
22. A hair tool organizer you can attach to a cabinet door to free up that precious under-sink storage space. You could also use this to store beauty products and hair brushes.
Promising review: "This was perfect for what I was looking for. The hair dryer spot being in the middle provides better balance than other similar items I tried. This one also fit in my cabinet better and the hooks fit over my cabinet door that is a little thicker than some other products say will fit." –C
Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in three colors and two styles).
23. A towel rack if you don't have a linen closet or cabinet and need a place for your bulky towels. All you need is some blank wall space and some expert towel rolling skills to get the job done!
Promising review: "Perfect for our bathroom! We recently moved and the new master bath doesn't have a linen closet, so we had to get creative with how to store everyday items like towels. Since they were going to be out in the open, I wanted something that was functional yet decorative. This fit the bill perfectly! We have towels from IKEA, and even tightly rolled, the rack was a bit tight, so I just used my hands and gently pulled each hook out a bit and now the towels fit perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase!" —Faye_Bon_Fury
Get it from Amazon for $23.49 (available in eight colors).
24. An adjustable closet rod to instantly add another layer of hanging space to your closet. You just place it onto your existing rod and voilà: You've just maximized the storage space.
Reviewers said it's especially helpful for kids' closets because their clothes are so small and don't take up much hanging space vertically. The horizontal bar can expand from 18 inches to the max 30 inches, and the hanging height can be adjusted by 1-inch increments.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. My kiddos are going to share a closet and this was the easiest way to get all of their things in there together. It doubled the hanging space and I was able to hang my daughter's things and move my son's items to the bottom hanging addition. How low you want it to hang is adjustable so it could go even lower if you had adult-size clothing to hang. Would definitely purchase again." —Jeanette Fite
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
25. An over-the-sink wooden rack for anyone who's thought, "If only I could add some counter space!" to yourself at least three dozen times. it comes in so many heights and widths so you can order it to perfectly match the dimensions of your sink.
The904BlondeSquad is a small business based in Jacksonville, Florida that creates handmade home decor, ornaments, tumblers, and more.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! She matched the color I described perfectly and it’s so freaking cute in my little bathroom! Shipping was fast considering these are handmade to order and painted. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my new shelf! I 10/10 definitely recommend. I love it!" —Alissa Hastings
Get it from The904BlondeSquad on Etsy for $30+ (available in 16 widths, six heights, and 20 stain colors).
26. A three-tier spice rack intended to maximize the storage space in your cabinet so you can keep all of your spices upright and easy to find. No more digging around a random drawer to find the garlic powder!
Reviewers said you can also use these shelves to organize canned goods.
Promising review: "My spice cabinet is next to the oven, and it extends all the way to the wall, with another cabinet at a right angle, meaning there is only so much space in the cabinet that you can see when you open the cabinet door, even though the cabinet is much bigger. This organizer extends a good way down the cabinet and the stair steps of it make it such usable space! My spice cabinet is so much more user friendly and I can actually see what I have. I highly recommend and can see tons more uses for this in other cabinets!" —Eileen T.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
27. A large woven rope basket if you have a lot of stuff strewn around your house but nowhere to put it. You can store bulky throw blankets, extra linens, or your kid's toys, and the baskets will actually blend into your decor instead of sticking out like plastic storage bins do.
I've owned these for years and love them! I use one for blankets and the other to store my dumbbells for at-home workouts. They're super sturdy and the neutral colors look great in my living room. When they arrive, they'll be folded flat and look misshapen, but once you place contents in them, they adjust to their normal, round shape.
Promising review: "I love this basket! I have been using rope baskets in my room to store things. My favorite thing about these rope baskets is that they’re really cute, but also functional. They’re great for when you need storage, but you’ve run out of hidden storage, or when you need to store something that is used frequently. I bought this storage basket to store my knitting and crafting supplies. Storing things out of sight makes it difficult for me to remember to finish it at times, so it’s nice that it’s visible but not an eyesore. The size of this basket is fantastic. I have another smaller one that wasn’t quite big enough, so I bought this large size and still have room to spare! It’s a great quality, and I will keep it to use forever." —K M
Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in six colors and two sizes).
28. A shower caddy that's held up by super-strong adhesive strips and holds way more bottles than a traditional caddy that attaches around the showerhead does.
Promising review: “Holy crap! This is way better than an over-the-showerhead caddy or a corner shelf! Its adhesion is amazing, as you can tell we have it chock-full and it’s not once moved or came undone!!!! Gives our shower more space and way easier to keep clean now!! I’d highly recommend it!!! Also, please note we don’t have tile, so I’m unsure how it would hold up on different surfaces but they give you two adhesive strips so it gives you an opportunity to try on different areas.” —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).
29. A three-tiered shelf to take advantage of that awkward corner on your kitchen counters. Place your most used spices or oils on this so you can grab them while cooking.
You can adjust the three tiers to fit your counter's specific height.
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 $25.99+ (available in six colors).
30. 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!
And if you don't have a big empty wall to place this on, there's a 2-foot option that can easily fit behind a door.
Dunn Rustic is a small business based in Nashville that creates customized watch boxes, ring boxes, home organizers, and more.
Promising review: "Absolutely loved this hat holder! It’s super cute and goes with my decor perfectly and it’s such a fun way to display my beautiful hats! I got the smaller of the two beams." —Etsy Customer
Get it from Dunn Rustic on Etsy for $67.50+ (available in three sizes and three finishes).
31. A four-shelf over-the-toilet rack because that's some very valuable real estate, and if you don't currently have any sort of storage solution above your commode, this will change that!
Promising review: "So nice! Even though it’s just two of us, we struggle to keep things clean. I finally realized that it’s because we don’t have enough stuff that'll actually organize everything. This makes life sooo much easier for us! It keeps everything in the open but still organized. I have curly hair and have a TON of products. I also love baths and have a ton of stuff for that too (salts, bubbles, bombs, candles). I now can keep everything on here and it’s perfect access from the shower and the sink! Our bathroom is small and it’s perfect. Usually, my husband assembled but I did this time because I didn’t want to wait. Super easy! It’s not super sturdy but we haven’t had any issues. You might want to bolt to the wall though. But you don’t have to." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.99.
32. A countertop makeup organizer so you can finally tidy up your bathroom counter or vanity that has lipsticks and eyeshadow brushes strewn all over it.
Promising review: "I really like this makeup organizer. This helps me lay out my makeup products without rummaging around in the makeup bag I used to use. This spins really well, and it was nice being able to set the height for the four middle shelves. Hopefully this keeps me from trying to use any more counter space." –Michelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.
33. An under-sink rack perfect for those pedestal sinks that don't have any sort of storage underneath them. It curves around your sink's base to take advantage of every last inch.
Promising review: "This was the VERY accessory that I've been searching for to go under my bathroom basin. It fits perfectly under there and hides the drain pipe from view and adds extra shelving for things that are needed in the bathroom. Adds to the appearance of the bathroom, but at the same time conceals what I wanted to conceal from view." —Sue Vertrees
Get it from Amazon for $34.63.
34. A car seat storage bag so you don't end up with water bottles and granola bars rolling around your car's floor. It even has an insulated main pocket so you can keep your drinks nice and cold during long trips in the car.
It also has two side pockets, a front pocket, and a place for tissues.
Promising review: "This is a great space-saver. I had a full-size floor version of this but when I had my second child I just didn't have the room for it. This is the next best thing — it adjusts to fit any seat, has a wipe holder, holds several bottles of water (or milk) — and keeps them cool in the summer. Holds snacks, gloves, baby books, or any number of small items in the other compartments." —Robert Weinberg
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).
35. A hexagonal toilet paper holder — it honestly looks more like a fancy piece of wall decor than storage. We love a functional item that's equally as beautiful!
