    33 Storage Items To Take Advantage Of Vertical Space, Empty Walls, And Other Random Spots In Your Home

    Let no inch of potential storage space go unused.

    1. A clear shower curtain with pockets to store bathroom essentials like shampoo, body wash, or razors. You can hang this shower curtain with the pockets facing either the inside or outside, depending on what you need to store.

    3. 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.

    4. A set of drawer organizers if you only have one drawer in your entire bathroom and you want to make the most of that space. In fact, you can turn that drawer into your dedicated makeup storage space!

    5. An over-the-door shoe organizer so you can keep all of your sneakers and sandals visible. If you're using this in a utility closet, it's also a great way to store cleaning supplies, food, or anything else you want to have handy.

    6. 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.

    7. A slim storage tower that slides right into that awkward space between your vanity and the wall, or in between your washer and dryer. Just when you've thought you've used every square inch of storage space, this lifesaver comes in to save the day!

    8. Or a bathroom storage tower to place in that usually wasted space in between your toilet and the wall. It comes with a toilet paper dispenser and plenty of space to store away cleaning supplies.

    11. 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. Now even the smallest of showers can get the storage they deserve.

    17. A set of space-saver bags to compress 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! Now you magically have more space to store even more clothes.

    18. A stealthy storage ottoman great for keeping your blankets, extra linens, or even your kid's toys hidden away. It also provides some extra seating in whatever room you place it in.

    19. A tower of slide-out baskets perfect for organizing products under your bathroom or kitchen sink. Because the baskets stack on top of each other, you'll be utilizing the vertical storage space and be able to fit so much more stuff down there.

    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.

    21. An over-the-door basket system because the doors in your house are basically blank canvases, so why not hang up some spacious, durable baskets as a catch-all for your products?

    22. 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!

    28. An adjustable rack so you can keep all of your baking sheets, cutting boards, and pot lids upright and easy to reach. You'll be amazed how much new storage space you'll unearth when all your cooking supplies aren't just thrown in your cabinets and piled on top of each other.

    29. 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!

    30. This brilliant shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo so 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.
