    40 Small Ways To Save A Huge Amount Of Space When Organizing Your Home

    If you want to organize *and* save space, these little things will make a big impact.

    1. Get creative by using a magnetic refrigerator rack with dowels and hooks to hang dishcloths, paper towels, and measuring spoons. Bonus points for a spacious shelf that allows you to store spices and other essentials.

    2. Or, if you don't need extra shelves, opt for a simple magnetic paper towel holder instead. Try to remove as many items from the counter as you can (without getting rid of them entirely!) so you have more counter space to work with.

    3. Snag some magnetic spice jars and clear out that messy drawer or cabinet once and for all. If you're fresh out of fridge space, get a magnetic board that you can add to the side of your cabinet and attach the jars to!

    4. Swap out the bulky knife block for a sleek magnetic strip. Mount it to your backsplash to store knives and metal utensils! You'll have more room on the counter for, you know, counter stuff.

    5. If you're especially short on kitchen counter space, use unique organization solutions like this fruit hammock. It attaches to the bottom of your cabinet and gives your fruit a home until you're ready for a snack.

    6. When it comes to tackling the cabinets, every inch of usable space counts! Use a cabinet door organizer to have a place to store those random things you usually shove into a cluttered drawer and hope for the best.

    7. Similarly, keep your brushes, hairdryer, and other tools in an over-the-door styling tool organizer so they're out of sight. Rather than cramming these into a cabinet and creating a tangled mess, this will keep 'em neatly organized.

    8. Invest in other over-the-door storage options, like this versatile hanging organizer that'll work in nearly any room in your home. Whether you use it to store pantry items or toiletries, it's a simple way to make a big difference in your storage space.

    9. Free up some drawer space with a clever cutlery organizer. Instead of resembling pure chaos, your silverware will be neatly sorted, and you'll have additional room for miscellaneous items.

    10. If you're constantly stressing over a lack of fridge space, try using this yogurt holder. It attaches to any available surface, like the interior wall or underneath one of the shelves in the refrigerator door!

    11. And throw a set of fridge drawers in there to maximize your space in a very tidy way. This consolidates grocery items so you have more room on the shelves. The clear drawers have built-in handles so they're easy to see *and* access.

    12. Look for genius hidden storage solutions, like this K-Cup organizer that could potentially clear an entire kitchen drawer. Obviously, you can't give up your coffee pods, but you can find a better way to store them!

    13. Install a KitchenAid attachment mount to store baking supplies in a way that won't give you a huge headache (or occupy an entire drawer)! Plus, your tools will be within reach when you're ready to whip up your next *chef's kiss* masterpiece.

    14. Add a set of under-shelf baskets so you can turn every bit of unused space into storage. Use 'em in the kitchen, bathroom, office, and anywhere else that's lacking. Toss odds and ends in here and reserve surface space for more important items!

    15. Save big on floor space with a broom and mop organizer for your cleaning closet or storage area. It'll also be *much* nicer to look at than a disorganized pile in the corner.

    16. Cooking pans are notorious for occupying an entire cabinet, but you can use a storage system that stacks 'em with just enough space in between. They won't get scratched *and* they'll be organized without hogging an entire cabinet.

    17. Store all those awkwardly-sized kitchen tools with a plastic lid organizer, bakeware rack, and pot/pan lid rack to keep 'em nice and neat. Opening those cabinets and drawers will no longer give you nightmares.

    18. Use rainbow nesting containers that'll completely transform your Tupperware storage. The rainbow colors help you keep track of what's stored in them, and when they're not in use, they can be nested to save space. Gotta love efficiency!

    19. Prevent a pile of dirty clothes and towels from accumulating on your bathroom floor with a hanging laundry hamper. It won't take up any valuable floor space *and* it unzips at the bottom. Instead of taking it down on laundry day, simply unzip it and head to the washer machine.

    20. Give yourself some more closet space with an over-the-door hook rack to hang everyday garments such as jackets, hats, and scarves. It can support up to 45 pounds, so load it up!

    21. Remember that saving space and organizing doesn't have to be boring. Seek out solutions that double as decor, like this hexagonal toilet paper shelf! We all know that giant pack of toilet paper is taking up FAR too much room in your cabinet under the sink, but this will fix that.

    22. When dealing with seasonal clothing and bulky items, keep them properly sorted in a foldable closet organizer. This little addition may not seem like much, but it'll save you SO much hanging space in the closet.

    23. And if you need to get all those items out of your closet so you have more space, you can store them in under-bed storage containers. There's no sense in these items collecting dust and taking up room for months, after all. Four of these babies fit under a queen bed!

    24. Organize all your baseball hats and beanies with a cap organizer that only takes up a tiny amount of room in the closet, which is better than a massive pile in a corner somewhere. Attach it to a hanger and it'll store up to 10 of your faves.

    25. If your handbag collection has gotten out of ~hand~, then try using this hanging purse organizer with individual slots for each one. This keeps 'em protected and prevents them from turning into one huge mountain on the floor.

    26. Condense your overflowing closet by using nonslip velvet hangers. They're thinner than plastic hangers, so you'll end up with more room to hang clothes. And the velvety texture ensures even the slipperiest of garments won't slide off and land on the floor!

    27. You can also save closet space with a set of Wonder Hangers, which are perfect for anyone who needs to make room for more shirts. You'll soon ~wonder~ how you ever lived without these little miracles.

    28. And for bathroom/desk/junk drawers, get some clear drawer organizers to restore order to the mess you've been avoiding. You may even surprise yourself with how much space you create when each item has its own little slot.

    29. Store your T-shirts in a rolling closet organizer so you have more hanging space for blouses, dresses, and any other garments that you can't bear to fold because wrinkles.

    30. Use a set of TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizers to safely stack mugs on top of each other without them crashing down on you. Take advantage of that vertical space so you have more room in your cabinets!

    32. Eliminate that growing stack of novels on the floor by storing them on floating bookshelves. These also serve as a fun piece of wall decor that everyone will ask you about, so take the win-win!

    33. Make your pantry look like your Pinterest board with a set of airtight food storage containers. You'll get rid of bulky boxes and condense your pantry items so there's more usable space. These are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and come with 24 reusable labels!

    34. If you don't want a nightstand taking up even more space in your bedroom, use a compact floating bedside table instead. It attaches to your bed frame so you'll always have your essentials nearby.

    35. Install a multifunctional wall-mounted toothbrush holder if it's time to part ways with the cups and trays occupying your counter. It also dispenses toothpaste and gives you extra room for other products.

    37. Never underestimate the power of Command hooks, which you can use to hold various items that are taking up too much room elsewhere. You don't need any tools to install them, and they won't leave any damage or residue behind!

    38. Stop tossing your beauty products in one messy heap on the counter and store them in this beautiful makeup organizer. You'll have less clutter and more space on the counter for other items.

    39. Rather than having your office essentials strewn about, add a compact desk organizer with adjustable compartments to the mix. It has a small footprint, so it'll save more space than a traditional desk organizer. It can also be used as a li'l makeup organizer for your vanity!

    40. And for those with *very* limited desk space, try these stick-on hidden drawers for a bit of extra storage. These li'l additions will make a vast difference by organizing your office supplies and saving precious space on your desk.
