1. A set of six over-the-door shelves for easily storing anything from hair accessories to shoes and pantry items to toys. Since it doesn't take up any space on your floor, it'll help you *really* maximize your space and clean things up.
Promising review: "I am so happy I found this little gem of a product. I got one for myself and one for a friend who I was helping get organized. The little pockets are great and hold more than you think they will. I love that the front of the pockets is a clear view so you can see everything that is in the pocket. The product is very sturdy and really super easy to put together and hang up on the doors." —MM1986
Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (available in seven colors).
2. A set of two nesting storage tables that you can toss your mess from the ground into (blankets, toys, pillows, sweatshirts), and make it look intentional and even elegant. *Score.*
The smaller table fits inside the larger one, so when they're not being used you can gain some extra space.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these tables! The tall one comes high enough to enjoy coffee or to eat at. My favorite part about these tables are the storage! I love them because they don’t take up a ton of room and are easy to move around! Super happy with these!" —Andrew Vinh Tran
"Absolutely love these tables. Moved into a smaller home and needed different storage options. These work perfect for toy storage and a coffee table alternative with no sharp edges for my babies to get hurt on!" —heather
Get a set of two from Amazon for $94+ (available in black, grey, cherry, brown, and white).
3. A mail organizer with helpful key hooks so you can easily stash your unopened mail and your keys by the door instead of just throwing everything in a pile on the ground in the general direction of the entryway, because I know my roommates and I can't be the only ones doing that.
Promising reviews: "We love our key hooks. It keeps us organized (no more clutter greeting us as we walk in), and it fits in with our farmhouse aesthetic. Sturdy and beautiful. Highly recommend." —Emily Gray
"This purchase was such a delight. It arrived quickly and included very clever instructions to help make sure the shelf was even when installing. Whole process took maybe 30 seconds, and it is very sturdy. 10/10 would recommend." —Ryan

Get it from Ripple Creek Designs on Etsy for $34.99 (available in three colors).
4. An ingenious over-the-door laundry hamper for making it *as easy as possible* to clear your floor of dirty towels and clothes — and giving you back the space that a sagging laundry basket would've taken up on the ground. TG.
Promising review: "Very convenient. I'd been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn't just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn't a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door and one hanging from a towel rack and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin, and I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket, and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them." —D. Jelte
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors and sets of one and two).
5. A pack of six Command cord bundlers so you can once and for all get a handle on the abundance of jumbled electronics and appliance cords in your life. A world exists beyond the knotted mass of cables and chargers that have tangled up your floor and formed one massive snake. I promise!
The bundlers work with damage-free adhesive.
Promising review: "I have one of these attached to almost every cord-having thing I own and for maybe $30 in total I feel like my whole life got a facelift. My stand mixer looks better on the counter and it stays clean even when everything else is a mess. My space heaters store so neatly in the linen closet. I have an HDMI cord bundled to the back of each TV. There's a bundler stuck between my car's dash and console which holds two phone chargers. Truly, especially for the price, I could not recommend something more highly." —Amber Stewart
Get it from Amazon for $10.98.
6. And a set of Wonder Hangers to fully maximize hanging space in your closet so all your clothes might finally fit inside, perhaps ridding you of the storage function your carpet is currently providing??
Promising review: "These wonder hangers are WONDERful. My closet space has doubled, at least. I have ordered them for every closet in my home. I also recommended them to friends and family. I love them." —Nancy J
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in other multipack sizes and two colors).
7. Plus a set of hook-shaped hangers ~specifically for hoodies~ so your sweatshirts no longer have to live in a pile at the side of your bed because there really isn't space for them elsewhere, and how does one fold hoods anyway?? Basically, this is what every hoodie lover needs but doesn't know exists.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Daniel Boan says: "This is one of those 'where has this been all my life?!' type of products. I'm a sucker for a soft hoodie, especially ever since my apartment became my office and now I can wear them 24/7. As much as I love curling up in them, hanging hoodies in the closet is SUCH a pain. They always slip right off my plastic hangers unless I zip them all the way up, so they usually just end up thrown over a random chair (or that mini elliptical I bought in March 2020 and have used a total of two times 😬). These little hook-shaped hangers are the storage miracle I never knew I needed. Now, I can just hang my sweatshirts and jackets by the hood and easily grab them when I need them — no zipping or folding necessary! Best of all, the pile of random hoodies on my chair has disappeared. I'm keeping the mini elliptical covered though."
Venalli is a Kansas-based small biz specializing in vibrant hoodies and hooks for hoodies.
Get a five-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $18.86+ (available in four colors).
8. A shoe rack for anyone constantly greeted by (and inevitably tripping over) a whirlwind of their roomies' or kids' shoes anytime they enter or leave their home. It has two spacious shelves on the bottom to fit tall rain boots and Uggs, and smaller shelves for ankle boots, sneakers, and loafers.
It also has hooks on the side for storing purses, backpacks, and scarves.
Promising review: "I really like this shoe rack! It's larger and holds many more shoes, which is what I wanted as well as making the shoe area much more clean and organized. We use this shoe rack at the entrance of the house as we do not wear our shoes inside." —Lauren E.
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
9. A record/magazine holder that'll give you a designated place for your beloved vinyls and keepsake 'zines, so you can *declutter* while keeping your fave items on display.
You can also use it to organize your desk files!
Promising review: "I didn’t want anything too bulky on my nightstand, but I like to have several books I like to read in bed. I previously had them stacked on top of each other and found this and was afraid it might be cheaply made, but it is sturdy and beautiful! I’m such a bookworm, and I am in love with this added piece to my room." —Stephy Lynn
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).
10. A cute two-tier storage rack to keep all your odds and ends tidy on your dresser or desk, when they might've otherwise ended up lost or on the floor.

11. Some MVP under-bed storage containers for storing seasonal clothes, jackets, shoes, craft supplies, or toiletries, aka just about anything you want, so you can get them the *heck* out of the way.
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 it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors and sets of two or four).
12. Or a set of vacuum storage bags that you can use to compress bulky seasonal clothes and bedding if you have really limited space and need some extra help with storage.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure about this product and I didn't believe it would work, OH HOW WRONG I WAS !!!!!!!! I purchased the jumbo bags and I actually was able to place over 20 thick sweaters in one bag; three leather coats, five peacoats, and additional winter clothing into another bag. In total I had six jumbo bags in which I was able to store all my husband's and my winter clothing away, creating space and eliminating overwhelming clutter. I will definitely purchase smaller size, jumbo size, and all sizes to create more space and organize all my clothing." —VickyGener85
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five sizes and four quantities).
13. And! A pack of stackable huge storage bins with handles and clear windows so once you pack them full of your stuff, you can see everything inside without having to open them back up.
Promising review: "These bags offer a perfect solution for my storage. I was able to put my seasonal items like summer clothes, comforters, jeans, pillows, etc. I also was able to put the stuffed animals my children were playing with when they were young but I did not have the heart to throw away for sentimental reasons. I like the part that I can see through what I placed inside. Once filled up, I was able to carry it to my shed because the bags were light." —Kassandra C. Salinas
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $22.55+ (available in three colors and five quantities).
14. A clever, reviewer-beloved suspended storage hammock to neatly keep your kids' stuffies and lovies out of the way (read: Off. The. FLOOR!!) yet still accessible.
Promising reviews: "As any parent knows, stuffed animals appear in droves and take up more space than any other toy. Every holiday, every visit somewhere, they all seem to end up eliciting a stuffed animal in return. Oh, had a playdate? Watch your child come home with their friend's old stuffed animal collection. This hammock keeps the favorite ones right at hand while you quietly smuggle the old ones out in bins. It needs a corner wall as it hangs by three hooks which are included. Stretches out pretty far so you can keep dozens of toys in it with no problems while keeping them off the bed and floor. Definitely a parent's staple item." —C. Logan
"This net is great! It was suuuuper easy to install, holds a TON of animals and a lot of weight, and stretches to accommodate all of the strange shapes it needs to hold. It's very lightweight but sturdy. Such a huge mess saver!! We've had this in my daughter's room for a couple of years. It's never fallen, torn, or broken. And this thing gets some serious traffic! We even store extra buddies on the hooks that hold up the net! This is an amazing price for something that can keep your floors mess-free!" —cree
Get it from Amazon for $11.21.
15. An over-the-door hanging purse organizer that will hold alllll your bags and ROTATE 360 degrees, so you can easily find the tote, purse, or backpack of your choice without the hassle of digging through an untamed pile.
It has 12 hooks and holds up to 50 lbs.
Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver for me! My purses are no longer all over the floor in my closet. They all fit nicely on here. I love this so much. The packaging was nice and everything came in perfect condition. I have about 10 purses on it right now and it's really nice and strong. It fits on my door perfectly but you do have to push on the door a bit in order for it to fully close and open. However, that is not a problem for me at all. It's very easy for me to see all my purses now and my closet is no longer a mess. From other reviews I've seen, I know this can definitely hold a lot of weight and way more bags then I have on it. I love the way it looks!" —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in two colors).
16. And a hanging purse organizer to add some extra protection against dust and scratches while you're on your organizing kick. Handbags need TLC, too.
Promising review: "I was quite skeptical when I ordered this purse organizer but decided for the price, I'd go ahead and take the chance. Well! This is a winner. There's no assembly. It hooks over the clothes rod, right alongside the clothes hangers. I held my breath as I began to push through a couple of my larger purses. The larger ones protrude a bit on each end but the sling fits like a glove around the purse and prevents sliding. The smaller purses fit quite nicely. I like that my more costly bags will not be a dust catch-all now and also are protected from scratching. All in all, I'm impressed with this product and happy with this purchase. It is a space saver. I recommend it. I hope it holds up well. I think it will." —Beje
Get it from Amazon for $17.41+ (available in four colors).
17. A hanging shoe organizer if you need a way to store your many, many shoes so they stop taking over your floor (right there with ya). Hang this over your door, and be done with it!
It has twelve pockets.

Promising review: "Prior to making this purchase, my family would toss their shoes in an empty diaper box that immediately invaded the entryway space. It was chaos but this product has provided a place that is close to the front door and out of the walkway. Plus I enjoy having the ability to neatly organize all of our shoes." –Cayja Vu
Get it from Amazon for $9.77 (available in five colors).
18. *Or* an over-the-door shoe rack that stores a whole 36 pairs of shoes if your collection is *proudly* too large for standard shoe storage.
Promising review: "My boyfriend and I recently moved in together and one of my main concerns was our combined shoe storage. We just installed this last week and I felt compelled to write a review because it is THE BEST shoe storage solution I have ever come across. I've tried under the bed, over the door pockets, shelves, stands, you name it... but this one is just the most organized, most logical storage ever." —Kathleen
Get it from Amazon for $45.87+ (available in two colors, three styles, and two storage quantities).
19. A five-shelf hanging closet organizer to give you some easy extra shelves for storing tees, handbags, hats, shoes, or stuffed animals that otherwise would go who knows where...possibly never to be seen again.
Promising review: "I wasn't quite sure what to expect at this price point but this item has exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy, roomy, very well made, and holds a lot. I ordered it in red to brighten up my closet and am so happy with my choice. I'm using it to store my sweaters and knit tops and it's so nice to finally have everything neatly organized." —Lucy
Get it from Amazon for $13.87 (available in eight colors).
Or, check out this shelf organizer/hanging rod combo if you could use some extra shelf space but you also aren't in a position to give up any precious room for hanging.
20. An over-the-door hook rack that is basically a must-have for any bedroom. It holds up to 45 lbs (!) so it can hold your coats, towels, tomorrow's 'fit, or all of the above.
Promising review: "I bought this to add to the inside of a closet door for extra hanging options. My kids were coming in the house and dropping coats and hoodies all over or hanging them on the stair post (UGH) but this was a perfect addition to a narrow closet with shelving to give us some added hanging space. I liked it so much, I bought a second one and now all the hoodies and coats are out of sight!" —Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
21. A tiered plant stand so your beloved plant babies can live in their own centralized home instead of being strewn about your room and floor.
Promising review: "Ordered the smaller size — it is small and yet sturdy, looks very elegant and is good quality and finish. Assembling was super easy. I am going to order one more. Loved it and highly recommend it." —Ashutosh Agte
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).
22. A cool three-tier corner shelf that's perfect for pictures, knickknacks, and other small pieces of decor that you don't have room for on your nightstand but don't want to use up floor space for.
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't on my wish list!
Promising review: "This is a great shelf system! Very lightweight and easy to assemble. It holds all necessary items; I needed it to hold my router and cable box to get them off the floor. Mission accomplished! The color is great, too!" —Yuliya
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
23. A simple storage ottoman for some extra storage space and a convenient footrest to boot.
It also folds down when not in use.
Promising review: "This is a very nice, little, and attractive ottoman for the money. It was easy peasy to assemble. I needed something to prop my legs/feet on while sitting in my small living room. This will serve that purpose nicely. I noticed no atrocious odor. You are able to store magazines and lighter-weight items in it. I would NOT recommend sitting or standing on this because it is only made of a very heavy pressed paper board. If you need it to perform as something other than a footrest I would suggest you spend more money and purchase something actually constructed for more heavy-duty activity. I live alone and this will serve me well." —Barbara
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in four colors).
24. Or! A stylish flip-top storage bench that'll give you double the storage space of an ottoman while looking gorg in a bedroom, entryway, or living room.
Promising reviews: "It holds up! Used daily as a launch pad, bed, road, workbench, climbing structure, and lava safe spot. Oh and a footrest and blanket storage. Holds four blankets and two to three people can rest their feet on it at once. I’m just glad the legs are sturdy enough to hold up my my kids’ antics." —Anna
"This bench has a good fabric, with a good balance, and enough storage. I am using for the end of the bed. It would be nice to use at the entryway or living room as well." —Dalila
Get it from Wayfair for $260 (originally $527.67).
You can do it, friend!!
