1. A genius magnetic stove shelf for clearing out that very messy spice drawer or cabinet you've been losing sleep over. Plus, all your cooking staples will now be within reach and ready to use!
This shelf is completely magnetic, so this is a great renter-friendly option to avoid using nails and drilling!
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).
2. And a sleek magnetic strip if you secretly despise your knife block because of how much space it occupies on your counter. Swap it out for this, which will look lovely against your backsplash while storing your knives.
This is much better than storing knives in a drawer where they can scrape up against each other and dull the blades. 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 $12.99+ (available in seven sizes).
3. A broom and mop organizer that'll take your cleaning closet or storage area to the next level with impeccable organization. Hanging your tools also gives more usable floor space, so this one's a no-brainer.
4. A towel rack when you don't have the luxury of a giant linen closet in your home. Mount this baby on the wall, roll up your towels, and you've got the next best thing!
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 $25.99 (available in four colors).
5. A double-sided tea organizer for saving prime real estate in your cabinets by eliminating those bulky tea boxes. Reduce clutter and never struggle to find your preferred tea flavor? Sign me up!
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 & takes up very little space. I highly recommend." —Beth McGarry
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
6. A set of shelf dividers so you can take advantage of every inch of your closet while keeping your folded clothes perfectly organized. That also means no more piles toppling over onto each other like you just lost a game of Jenga.
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 two-pack from Amazon for $17.99.
7. And a laundry folding board because neatly folded items take up far less space than the giant mountain of clothes that's been haunting your dreams. You'll also feel *much* more organized, which is always a plus.
Promising review: "I have a bit of a T-shirt collection and this tool is a must-have! I had been folding by hand but could never get a consistent uniform look but problem solved. This shirt folder is easy to use and maximizes the space on my shelf. It works great on long-sleeve shirts as well. The plastic is durable and not flimsy to use. Even came with a nice storage bag. Highly recommend this item. My only regret is not getting one sooner." —Lois
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).
8. A TikTok-famous toothbrush holder and dispenser if you've been dreaming of a day when counter clutter is a thing of the past. This holds products *and* dispenses toothpaste, so you'll get plenty of use out of it.
This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "Every household with kids should have this thing, actually EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps, insert your favorite brand in the dispenser, and voila! Simply press your brush against the lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When it’s time to rinse, grab one of the four cups that are hidden in the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang brush, and shut lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." —Jen
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).
9. A plastic storage bag organizer when you're officially ~fed up~ with your snack bag situation. Get rid of the unnecessary boxes and store them in this organizer instead!

10. Some wooden hooks so you can ~hang your hat~ at the end of the day — and your coat, purse, etc. These are small, cute, and will complement your decor while adding storage to your space.
Promising review: "I love how large and substantial these hooks are. They definitely feel high quality and are super easy to install. I was able to screw them directly into a stud on my wall and know they’ll be able to hold a lot of weight. I used them to hang some baskets which will store my incoming mail." —Evelyn Vang
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $17.69 (available in walnut and beech wood).
11. A shower curtain and bath organizer for those painfully tiny bathrooms with hardly any room for your products. AND you'll never have to deal with slippery bottles of shampoo falling off a ledge and onto your foot again.

12. Under-bed storage bags when it's time to say goodbye to seasonal items (for now, anyway).
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in three colors and in packs of four or six).
13. Or some vacuum storage bags that'll compress bulky linens and heavy clothes so you finally have more room for daily wardrobe staples. No need to pinch yourself, these are the real deal!
Promising review: "These bags are WONDERFUL! I have two kids and I have saved a lot of their clothes because we are expecting to have more children sometime, and I would love to not have to rebuy everything but they seriously take up so much space! I love that the hand pump is included, easy to use, and doesn't take long at all even on the large bags. The directions are printed on each bag so you are reminded how to use them without keeping a box or instruction manual. Thank you for a great product!" —Angela Urrutia
Get a set of five from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four sizes and packs of ten and fifteen).

Knapp's 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: "I love this! We have a smaller kitchen and there isn't really room for a fruit basket. This hammock keeps our fruit safe and sound while keeping our counter space clear. We've been using it for over a month without issue. Furthermore, it looks great!" —Margaret Mauk
Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
15. A floating bookshelf if you have a minimalist decor style but still need a place to store books. You'll remove nightmarish clutter from your desk and have a conversation starter living on your wall!
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 $15.82+ (available in two colors, two sizes, and in sets of three).

Promising review: "I actually have two because I leave one at the office. Love this method of reading. My font is bigger and clearer and it’s so much lighter to hold. Books are cheaper too. What’s not to love? Less books at the house taking up space." —Jude L. Stringfellow
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in black and blue).
17. Rainbow nesting storage containers for saving room in your very scary Tupperware cabinet. Plus, you'll never struggle to match a leftover container to its lid again!
The lids snap together so everything is contained and organized.
Promising review: "I love this: I needed this for two reasons. 1. I wanted to conserve space in my kitchen cabinets and 2. I was tired of buying grocery store containers that were cheap in design and execution. This set does both things well. It is also made in the USA which I liked. I won't have to buy another set of storage containers for a long while." —Travis Partington
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $34.99.
18. A KitchenAid attachment mount to store your baking essentials in a way that won't give you night terrors! Your tools will always be handy when you're ready to whip up your next *chef's kiss* masterpiece.

Get it from Fused Line on Etsy for $11 (available in three colors and as a screw-on or adhesive mount).
19. A Shoe Slotz space saver when it's time to organize that enormous shoe pile you've been eyeing for weeks. You'll save room by stacking shoes on top of each other without them getting all squished.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: "This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes."
Promising review: "Confession time. I am a bit of a shoe fiend. These little shoe slots have allowed me to fit way more shoes in my closet shelving (yay!) AND having them organized like this keeps my shoes much nicer — since they aren't all scraping against each other. It also helps me remember which shoes I have — since they are all visible. :) The little heel stoppers pop out every so often when I am getting shoes, which is sort of annoying, but still a 5-star purchase." —MoniqueRamsey
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $35.99+ (also available in packs of 20 or 40).
20. A snap-on pasta strainer to strain hot water and juices from a pot without potentially burning yourself OR losing any of your meal. The space-saving design is a dream come true for small kitchens, too.
Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voilà! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six colors).
21. A 50-pack of super-slim velvet hangers when your closet situation is out of hand and in need of some serious help. The thin design lets you store many more hangers in your closet, so don't cancel that shopping trip just yet!
Because of the velvet coating, spaghetti straps and slippery fabrics won't keep falling off. And unlike similar options, reviewers promise the flocking does *not* come off of these and all over your clothes.
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
Get a set of 50 from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).
22. A folding two-level desk so you can stop working from the couch in the shape of a pretzel. You'll have a designated work area where you can be productive, but you can also fold it up and put it away when you're done.
Promising review: "I live in a studio apartment and work at home sometimes, so I needed a desk that could fold up behind my couch. It was bigger than expected but still fit perfectly. It is easy to move and is very nice and adds a classy, smart feel to a room. Would recommend for someone with small space who needs to fold up for room." —Faith Miletello
Get it from Amazon for $53.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
23. Or for a *very* compact solution, a wall-mounted, drop-leaf table that can be folded out of the way when you're done using it. This works great as a desk but some reviewers also use it as a mini kitchen table!
Promising review: "The perfect little table for a small space. I needed something for our tiny office/living room/guest room. This made the space so much more versatile without taking up valuable square footage. Easily folds when not in use, simple to put together." —M. Lincoln
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three colors).
24. A gorgeous vase bookend if your lack of space has been making you feel like you have to choose between elegant decor and your books. Now you can have both!

The six-piece set comes with two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins.
Promising review: "Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." —Sparkyj
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $13.49+ (also available as a 12-piece set and in multiple colors).

Just slide it on your shelf — the installation's that simple!
Promising review: "These are excellent quality, sturdy and well made. I appreciate that when slid in place, the front of the basket lines up flush with the edge of the shelf (some lesser brands protrude a bit beyond the shelf, making it impossible to close the cupboard properly). Look no further — these are the best deal you'll find." —peggydf
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $24.99+ (also available in black and in larger sets).
28. A bamboo shelf with a tilt-out hamper because has anyone in the history of the world enjoyed having a hamper that sticks out like a sore thumb? This saves space by concealing it *and* gives you a couple of storage shelves, too.
It comes with a removable liner for the hamper that can be easily lifted out and wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Promising review: "Straightforward assembly and a beautiful product, I was really happy. This looks perfect in a small bathroom, and hides the unsightly laundry pile nicely. I keep makeup on top and extra toilet papers in middle, with plenty of space. The bamboo is nice and water resistant too, so deals well with humidity." —AJohns
