1. A set of closet cascaders to work SO much harder than regular clothes hangers when it comes to your slinkiest dresses and garments. Stop letting them take over your closet with regular-size hangers!
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

2. Or a set of cascading hooks that'll let you customize your regular old hangers into clothing storage beasts perfectly tailored to your closet's space constraints.
Promising review: "I've been known to use soda can tabs in the same manor but these are way more solid and fit more smoothly and steady. Cute colors, great price for so many.. split them up for two people." —Teresa Bauer
Get a 40-pack from Amazon for $9.99.
3. Drawer organizers so you can finally find that one pair of nude-colored underwear for that dress you're wearing to a picnic. (Truly, you can never have too many pairs of nude undies.)
Each set comes with four bins: a six-cell (for scarves, hankies, and ties), an eight-cell (for undies), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks). They're also collapsable and fold flat if you need to store them away!
Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." —M. Hanson
Get the set of four from Amazon for $15.97 (available in seven colors).
4. Or a honeycomb divider that'd be great for tracking down your lucky socks to wear to the baseball game. Because we know the team will lose if you wear normal white socks.
The set snaps together with maximum dimensions of 13.25 inches x14.38 inches, but you can snap two (or more!) packs together if you want to fill more drawer space!
Promising review: "Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble." —Brigette
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
5. But if you need an even more customizable option, a set of adjustable drawer dividers you can cut to fit your exact needs.
La Belle Venus is a Los Angeles–based Etsy shop specializing in a variety of useful items.
Promising review: "Literally the most helpful organizational tool I have ever used." —Erika
Get a 10-pack from La Belle Venus on Etsy for $10.78.
6. A set of Shoe Slotz to finally solve the problem of how to fit in all those new gems you've acquired into the same amount of space.
My colleague Sally Eshorafa uses these (as you can see in the pic) and has great things to say about them. Check out her review here:
"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 set of 10 from Amazon for $27.99+ (also available in packs of 20 and 40).
7. A hanging jewelry organizer with pockets and loops perfectly sized for tons of hair accessories.
Promising review: "I highly recommend this product! The first pic is just a snippet of the mess in one of my many jewelry boxes-needless to say, having this organizer quickly solved that problem. One side has 32 pockets where I put earrings, association pins, etc; while the other side has 18 Slots where I put my neckwear." —PheonixRN16
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).
8. Hanging vacuum bags that'll help you find even more closet space (you thought that was impossible!). This is especially great for bulky items you can hang like coats.
Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in four colors).
9. Plus some vacuum storage bags where you can store out-of-season clothes and then stash inside luggage...because if that roller carry-on is going to take up space underneath your bed, it might as well earn its stationary keep.
I'm linen closet–less in my one-bedroom apartment, so all my spare linens are folded up inside my rolling luggage underneath my bed. Set includes 2 jumbo, 5 extra large, 4 large, and 4 medium bags.
Promising review: "These bags are freaking great. My fiancé and I recently moved from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 1 bed/1 bath. We lost a lot of storage space and didn't want to get rid of our guest bedding when we are planning to buy a house within the next year. We use the jumbo and large bags for our guest linens/extras. I think the medium bags could come in handy for packing luggage for extended trips back home." —Kyra
Get 15 bags from Amazon for $24.87.
10. Clip-on shelf dividers as a topple-free solution for keeping your sweatshirts, gym clothes, and other drawer overflow in neat piles. (Those hoods always mess up other sweatshirt organizing options!)
Promising review: "These are great. I use them to separate the piles of sweaters, sweatshirts, and T-shirts on the shelf above the hanging bar in my closet. It helps me keep them nicely separated, even when I'm lazy about keeping the piles straight. I'm happy with my purchase!" —Maddie
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in three quantities).
11. And a shirt folder to make all of your stacks even crisper and tidier.
Promising review: "My first reaction was 'Why did I buy this?' because when I opened the box and wasn't too convinced by the way it looked. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. It's a must-try! I am in love with how beautiful it leaves my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four colors).
12. Or if you'd like to cut to the chase and want even easier access to your folded shirts, an EZSTAX closet organizer *and* shirt folder will turn that pile of shirts into an orderly display you can flip through to find that shirt dead in the middle of the stack that you wanna wear today.
Promising review: "I received this product a few days ago and have successfully transformed my closet, it is exactly what I needed. T-shirts, tank tops, sports bras, etc., all items that are flimsy on their own, stack up beautifully in this brilliantly designed product. They all look neat, I can see what I have and access what I want easily. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes and multi-packs).
13. An adjustable closet doubler that does exactly what its name says to help fill that dead space below your hanging tops.
Promising review: "This product has been one of my favorite Amazon finds, I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it sooner. It has doubled my closet space in my apartment where I can’t make any damage in terms of adding another permanent shelf — so this has been a perfect solution. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now with no issue. Your closet has to be pretty high for this to work or else your shirts above are going to get caught on the hangers below and for my case, some of my shirts are dragging on the floor — just keep this in mind when you’re thinking about purchasing." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
14. A cedarwood closet divider will help you better locate the stuff already in your closet. Look at you being so organized!
15. Or a 30-pack of color-coded closet dividers you can customize with a Sharpie to help satisfy any closet organizing needs that may arise.
16. Fabric storage bags where you'll shove out-of-season clothes and then under your bed, freeing up more room in your closet.
Promising review: "I was concerned that these might be too flimsy, but they are sturdy and durable. I was pleased to find it zips from both ends. I decided to store sweaters, sweat shirts and jackets in one of them. They freed up room in my closet but are still easy to get." —Kindle Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.34+ (available in six colors).
17. A hanging boot organizer because maybe you just rewatched Tidying Up to get you back in the organizing spirit. (I personally find it very soothing.)
But Marie wouldn't make you feel bad about being lazy again. You've just gotta maintain!
Promising review: "Sometimes I'd waste time digging for the matching pair I was hoping to wear. I've been wanting to buy the Boot Butler, but was hesitant because of the price. After some time and frustration (especially with boot season approaching), I bought the Boot Butler for myself in October as an early Christmas gift. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! I loved it so much, I bought a second set a couple of months later and am now contemplating buying another. I love that my boots aren't in a pile anymore; that they are easy to find and see, and I don't have to shuffle huge plastic boot boxes around (an option I tried before and was not happy with)." —ZAR
Get a set for five pairs from Amazon for $69.99.
18. A scarf organizer can help you remember which scarves you actually own...rather than assuming that you left that one pashmina in a hotel room in who knows where only to find it on your closet floor a year later.
Can hold 23 scarves!
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure if it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." —Nikolette
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three colors).
19. Plus a four-pack of S-shaped hangers for pants to free up some major closet space and help you get a much better look at all of your clothing options.
Promising review: "I am impressed! I absolutely love these hangers. I have more space and I can actually see more in my closet, I’m able to put outfits together and dress on a whole different level!! I am buying more right now! Definitely worth my money!!!" —Titania
Get four hangers from Amazon for $18.99.
20. And while we're on the subject, some slim-fitting velvet ones that'll be a VERY simple switch for a lot more room in your closet. Sorry, plastic coat hangers! You're no longer welcome here.
Promising review: "SO happy with these so far. I had heard multiple times that these hangers would change my life. While this sounded nice, I struggled to justify spending money on hangers when I already have a couple hundred here that work just fine. However, after needing to add career clothes to my wardrobe and completely losing all free movement remaining in my closet, I put these in my cart. They came today and I've already switched out my whole closet (except for skirts — I am awaiting finger clips from Amazon to convert these hangers to pant/skirt hangers). Going through my entire closet lead me to get rid of a couple of things that I no longer wear. However, the difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." —ChristineSD
Get a pack of 50 flocked hangers on Amazon for $27.29+ (available in five colors).
21. A set of hoodie hangers so your most comfortable items can end their reign of terror on your normal clothes hangers or your couch that you're currently using as "the chair." Turns out your BFF didn't borrow your best hoodie. Your couch did.
Each hoodie hanger comes with a removable clip that allows you to lock the hoodie hangar onto smaller diameter rods or wire shelving.
Venalli Builds is an Overland Park, Kansas-based Etsy shop.
Get a set of five from Venalli Builds on Etsy for $20+ (available in sets of five and 10 and in four color options).
22. A hanging bag organizer that'll keep the dust off your beauties and won't put stress on your purse handles like other organizing solutions.
::nervously calculates how much $$$ I've spent on handbags::
Promising review: "Earlier today I put two hanging closet handbag holders in my walk in closet. I don't have 16 purses, but I do have more than eight. I put some other things in the leftover pockets — gloves, a couple of smaller clutch-style purses, and some scarves. The pockets are roomy and seem to be sturdy. I'm doin' the happy dance because they are just what I needed. Already I'm feeling more organized." —mochamarie
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors).
23. An OG hanging shoe organizer to file away everything from cleaning supplies to toiletries to scarves to leggings to actual shoes. An oldie but goodie 'til the end of time!
Oh, and it's so cheap you'll buy it in multiples!!! Every door is an organizing opportunity! Plus it's a very easy way to ~train~ your loved ones into easily cleaning up after themselves.
Promising review: "Sturdy, holds many items, so glad I got this! It hangs on back of bathroom door, so my counter and vanity stay neat. Holds more weight than you would expect." —dreamcatcher710
Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in three colors).
24. Plus a vertical shoe tower you can squeeze into an empty, forgotten corner for a really solid storage solution because we'll never solve the mystery of how one accumulates so much footwear...or how it ends up under all sorts of couches and chairs.
Promising review: "This is perfect for what we are looking for. It had to fit in a smaller space and served to stop a puddle of shoes from forming at the doorstep. I am glad that we have smaller feet/shoes though as the spaces are a bit narrow. There are only two larger spaces that would work for high-top shoes or heeled boots. All the other spaces fit flats or low sneakers well." —Sara C.
Get it from Amazon for $65.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
25. An adjustable shoe organizer that'll also work for boots, wedges, most any type of shoe — in case that's what you've been telling yourself is the reason that your shoe storage situation has been an absolute mess.
Promising review: "Easy to assemble, can change the size of slots to fit boots, shoes, Sanford, etc. love that they have clear zipper too so you can see what is inside when choosing. Great shoe organizer at fair price. Would recommend." —R. Isemann
Get it from Amazon for $38.67 (available in three colors and three sizes).
26. A genius T-shirt roll holder to create some storage out of seemingly thin air. Perhaps now you'll actually be able to find the remaining T-shirts in that drawer.
The Roll Keeper is owned by Kelso, Washington's resident crafter, Traci. Traci has been crafting for over 40 years and created her storage design to help organize vinyl, soon realizing that it was the perfect organization solution for much more. Her shop has versions for bottles, wrapping paper, pens, and more. Don't miss checking out this small business!
My colleague Mallory Mower owns this and loves it:
"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 $16.99.
27. A hanger organizer you should've bought for your laundry room eons ago instead of scrounging for spares in every family member's closet. Remember that time you bought a 50-pack of hangers because you thought you were out but you most definitely weren't? Yep.
28. An in-drawer bra organizer to help maintain cup shape in between wears (AKA your drawer is going to look like one from Victoria's Secret, except the pretty things inside are already yours!).
Stores as many as 10 bras, depending on style. No installation required.
Promising review: "I was skeptical of how these would work to be honest, but I had a big drawerful of Victoria's Secret bras that are a sizable Investment and want them to stay nice. The system was quite simple but also quite brilliant I must say. I never imagined my bras being neatly stored upright in the drawer but they are now nice and neat looking beautiful and organized. I will probably buy a couple more for a few extras that I have. Great quality, worth the cost, and very clever." —Steamingirlie
Get it from The Container Store for $34.99.
29. Or if you'd rather get vertical with your storage, a hanging bra organizer that reviewers with bigger boobs swear by.
30. Cap holders so you can clear that shelf in your closet dedicated to your baseball hats.
Promising review: "I bought this for my husband. He collects hats and I didn't want all of his hats taking over the bedroom. I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect hat holder and (finally) went with these. I put them up on our bi-fold closet door. They were quick and easy to install. He loves the way all of his hats are in one place and easy to get at. I love that we no longer have hats all over. They make it a win-win!" —WeekendWarrior2017
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
31. A hanging closet organizer if your dresser drawers are overflowing but, tbh, your closet is too. This can help you have the best of both worlds.
Promising review: "I purchased this when we had a guest visiting for an extended stay and it worked amazingly well. It was easy to assemble and no issues with it falling at all. The cubbies are roomy and can fit plenty of items. The hanging bar at the bottom is ideal for shorter hanging items, but it's nice that it gives back that bar space it's taking up. Used for clothes and shoes. The material is thinner, so I marked down the sturdiness and durability for that reason only." —Tina Dichard
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
32. An eyeglasses organizer that'll keep your expanding collection right where you can see 'em...rather than at the bottom of your clothes pile.
Promising review: "I works perfect for glasses. I have about six pairs of sunglasses and two pairs of reading glasses, and they all fit perfectly. I bought it to keep the top of my dresser organized. I got the grey color and it matches my room quite nicely. It is pretty flimsy plastic, so keep that in mind. I have loved it so far." —McKenzi
Get it from Amazon for $20.49 (available in four colors).
33. A pipe clothing rack to provide some more room...even if you don't have enough room for a regular clothing rack in your space.
StoutandBurg is a Sanford, Michigan-based Etsy shop specializing in steampunk home accessories.
Promising review: "These are awesome and worked perfect for our closet!" —Taylor Abish
Get it from StoutandBurg on Etsy for $23.99+ (available in several colors and lengths).
34. Foldable clothing bins that, when filled, are easily stacked. And because they're sealed, you can easily free up some closet space by putting out-of-season clothes here and throwing 'em in the garage or attic. Plus! The clear panels makes it easy to see what's inside.
Promising review: "I bought these to organize the top shelf in my closet. The clear panel in the front makes it easy to see what I have inside each bag. The top zipper along three of four full sides gives me easy access into each — making it easy to put in a stack of sweaters, rather than 1 at a time. And because these have flexible side walls, they only take up as much space (height wise) as I fill them. That allowed me to organize and stack them without running out of room (at the ceiling). I ended up ordering two sets and having enough left for packaging up blankets and comforters." —Diana L.
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $29.99.
35. A space-saving retractable clothes rack your laundry room has been yearning for since you first hung up a shirt in there.
Promising reviews: "Amazing quality. Perfect for neat freaks! We got this for our small laundry room. This is the perfect answer to both small spaces and the desire for clean lines. It's sturdy and holds about 20 items. When we are not using it, it folds so darn neatly. Looks awesome and is easy to install. Would totally get more for other rooms. I am thinking guest rooms." —linda sloan
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors and two sizes).
36. A tie holder for storing as many as 20 ties and keeping them in tip-top shape in between wears. Go ahead, buy a couple. Dozen.
Promising review: "Does pretty good. Holds 20 ties each. Comes with two racks. It holds them pretty snugly. They seem durable. I've probably got 5–7 lbs of ties on each. Organizes them beautifully." —Jabbalaugh
Get a pair from Amazon for $8.99.
