1. A double-sided tea organizer because it's about to be hot tea season, and, after all these years, it's finally time to get rid of those half-full boxes that've been taking up precious cupboard space for wayyyyy too long.
YouCopia brand is a woman-owned small business!
Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this... and when I took it out of the box... and when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.

2. A Shoe Slotz space saver designed to *double* the amount of shoes you can store by neatly stacking each pair of shoes on top of each other — without getting all squished! If your summer shopping sprees resulted in you owning a *lot* more footwear, this is a great storage solution!
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: "These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I could easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I had or overestimated the space that was in the closet, and I couldn't display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I'll have to go out and buy more shoes now!" —Hercules

3. Or an over-the-door shoe rack that can hold up to 36 pairs using only that empty space on the back of your door that you probably weren't using anyway!
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 $23.03.
4. A pair of rustproof shower caddy bathroom shelves so you can stop trying to balance all of your tubes and bottles on the edge of your tub and knocking them over constantly. If you've been trying out different products to keep your skin hydrated in the dry fall air (and therefore cluttering up your bathroom), you could probably use some extra surfaces for storage. These sturdy shelves can hold up to 15 pounds and come with removable hooks where you can conveniently hang sponges and loofahs!
Promising review: "If you are looking for some shower space and you don't want to tear out your shower to build in the nitches... grab these babies. They stick great, and hold a ton of stuff! It took our shower from looking cluttered and always having stuff fall underfoot to looking put together and having everything be right where you need it to get to it. I use liter bottles of shampoo and conditioner, and these babies hold both in one basket. Pick up a set, you won't be disappointed. Also, if you have two showers and only need one basket in each, you can split them and get storage in both showers that match perfectly!!" —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four finishes).
5. A rotating makeup/skincare organizer with shelves that'll let you conveniently peruse all your numerous makeup options in an orderly (and aesthetically pleasing) fashion.

6. A closet organizer if you want your seasonal clothes and bedding to stay ~out of sight and out of mind~ until the weather changes. Then when you're done using them, just fold 'em up for easy storage!
Promising review: "Before I bought these zipper bags, my closet was full, and I had no room to move anything around. After these bags, I not only have more room, but I was able to move all of my things from out of the hallway closet and into my bedroom!! I combined two closets into one, where I thought I had no room. Wow. You can easily have three pillows per bag, and I fit one extra thick queen-size comforter into one bag. All things that didn't even fit in my closet beforehand. Now I have room for more!!" —Frank Martin
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in three colors).
7. Or a pack of vacuum-sealed storage bags to keep your summer wardrobe from hogging all of your storage space that *could* be full of new fall clothes! These bags fit an impressive amount of stuff, and all you have to do is toss your clothes, blankets, towels, and other items in, vacuum out the excess air, and watch them go from taking over your closet to taking up barely any space at all!
Promising review: "It’s amazing how much these bags compress. Plus, you can see what’s in them without opening lots of bins. I packed RV bedding (pillows/comforter) in one jumbo bag. They are great for travel, too, just compress wrinkle-free items prior to placing in suitcase." —Mary
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four sizes, two styles, larger multipacks, and a variety pack).

8. A set of magnetic glass spice jars in case there are tons of new fall recipes you wanna try out this season, requiring a bunch of new spices that don't quite fit into your tiny drawers. Now you can stick them on the fridge, freeing up a cabinet for other storage needs.
Promising review: "I am in love with my magnetic spice jars! I recently moved to a small apartment, and don't have the counter or wall space to store spices or a spice rack, so magnetic jars it was! I love how these have a decorative feel while providing a secure way to store the spices. Unlike other magnetic spice jars, I feel that these add an extra flair to displaying your assorted spices." —rae.m.wri

You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —L
Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).
11. Or a pots and pans organizer with adjustable racks so you can customize it to fit different sized pieces that you'll want easily accessible for all those fall dishes you're planning on cooking this year.
You can store up to five pots and pans on this handy organizer.
Promising review: "I have been wanting to organize my kitchen cabinets for years. Finally got tired of lifting three pans to get the one I need. They were very easy to assemble and adjust as needed for the correct spacing. They were also very sturdy. I have eight skillets and I ordered two of these racks. These are the perfect solution for my cabinet. Gave me more space than I had before and it's so much easier to get to my skillets now. I love them. Would recommend them to anyone." —Piper L.
Get it from Amazon for $22.97.

You can arrange these cubes into whatever style works best for your space! Put them on the floor of your closet or on a top shelf, stack them up on top of your dresser or like a freestanding shelving unit, and rearrange whenever needed!
Promising review: "I put these in my closet to make extra shelves for sweaters/sweatshirts. They were easy to assemble and worked great at adding additional space to my closet. I like that my clothes don’t topple over into the pile next to them anymore. They were easy to put together, and if I move they will be easy to take apart, put in a small box, and move. I'm very happy with this purchase." —Goldensummerdog
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors)
13. Or some slim but sturdy nonslip velvet hangers ingeniously designed for anyone with more clothes than closet — especially after your summer shopping sprees.
Promising review: "These hangers are amazing. They take up minimal space, are sturdy, and, best of all, the clothes don't fall down from them, so it keeps everything looking neat. I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers, and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." —Vida Maars
Get a 30-pack on Amazon for $22.60+ (available in 10 colors and larger multipacks).
14. An expandable rack in case that pipe under your sink is making it hard to make use of the cabinet space down there, which is making it even *harder* to de-clutter your bathroom or kitchen during your autumn re-organization sesh.
It measures 15 inches long x 11.25 inches wide x 15 inches high, and can expand to 25 inches long.
Promising review: "I'm so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom, and this fit perfectly. I have it extended to about 23 inches, and it holds sturdy, though if you were to extend it to its full length, it gets weak in the middle. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for the kitchen. I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath." —Marlene R.
Get it from Amazon for $22.87 (available in three finishes).
15. A tiny outlet shelf perfect for storing an electric toothbrush, your glasses, or any other odds and ends that need a better resting place. If you ended summer with *way* more stuff in your home than there was before, you could probably use these around the house in places where you need just a little more surface space.
FYI, it installs like a regular outlet cover, and can also be installed so the shelf is below the outlet.
Promising review: "I was very skeptical about this one. I had it in my cart for a while, and just couldn’t get myself to order it. Once I did and I received it, I was so happy I did. I will be ordering more now. It adds extra storage space. My laundry room is very limited, so any added storage is key! I use it for my dryer sheets. I’ll be ordering another to store a small trash bin for lint from the dryer. I’m thinking about also adding these around the house for other things. So easy to install, takes literally less than two minutes." —Hazel Vera
Get it from Amazon for $12.87+ (available in four colors and multipacks).
16. Some floating shelves if you spent *a lot* of your summer travels visiting cute bookshops around the globe (and coming home with way more books than you told yourself you would buy). If your book collection is steadily outgrowing the tiny bookshelf you optimistically thought would be large enough, these are here to help and require ZERO floorspace.
Promising review: "Saves space! I’m pretty basic when it comes to tools and installing things, but I was able to hang these alone without any problems. I love them and they look great! Would buy again if I need more." —Brandy Helton
Get a set of three from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and sets of three or four).
17. An over-the-door towel rack so you have somewhere to put your towels that isn't all over the floor. Plus, it includes hooks so you can hang your cozy fall robe and other clothes too!
Promising review: "I bought this in the satin nickel, and it goes very well with my sons' bathroom hardware. It is lightweight and hangs nicely over the bathroom door. It was very easy to put together with only six small screws (my nine-year-old put it together). I like that it has the extra hooks at the bottom of the rack for smaller towels, or in my case, childrens' robes. It is definitely a space saver in a small bathroom shared by two boys. We will see if it helps them keep their towels off the floor. A mother can dream, right?" —Jo Rose
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+ (available in two finishes).
18. A rustic, wall-mounted coat rack that'll keep your variety of fall jackets from piling up on a chair that was meant for sitting, while also offering some shelf space to hold extra items that might not fit anywhere else.
Distressed Me Not is a family-owned small business based in North Carolina that creates handmade rustic pieces that'll make your home feel warm and toasty.
Promising review: "We live in the mountains and have lots of coats, scarves, and hats all over the place. This rack is twice as big as what we had before, with the added attraction of having a shelf on top. I went to a little antique shop and got a few things to put on top, and my husband and I really like the look! The shelf is well-made and of a quality that it is built to last." —Bev Linder
Get it from Distressed Me Not on Etsy for $19+ (available in 11 sizes, as a set of two, and with or without a top shelf).
19. A lid organizer — it'll get your chaotic kitchen drawers back under control! If you found yourself eating out a lot over the summer and wanna do more meal-prepping and cooking at home this fall, it'll be a lot easier if you don't waste time digging in your cabinets for the right sized lid.
It'll hold round and square lids up to nine inches wide and it only takes one minute to set up!
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provide flexibility. Slowly but surely, I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn
Get it from Amazon for $18.52+ (available in five sizes and a pack of two).
20. And a seven-piece set of nesting bowls that stack neatly inside each other so you can store them in the most compact and organized way possible, making it easy to find the things you need for fall baking projects, meal-prepping, snacks, and more!
21. A set of stackable clear drawer organizers to turn what was once a bottomless pit of a junk drawer into a place you can actually like... find things. Now that school is starting back up and work is starting to get busy, it's good to tidy up the places where you keep your office supplies, beauty products, and other daily essentials.
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 $14.99+ (also available as a set of 18).
22. A minimalist desk organizer for holding all of the things that are usually cluttering up your desk and adding an unnecessary layer of stress to what's probably an *already* stressful workday, especially as the holidays start to inch closer and closer.
Promising reviews: "Excellent way to organize, paper, pens and office materials that otherwise clutter a desk" —William
"Small and lightweight with fabric outside. Very modern and subtle. Liked that it included protective pads for the base of the organizer. Suits our needs for the kitchen counter catch all very well!" —Heather
Get it from Wayfair for $28.95 (originally $31.64; available in three colors).
23. An over-the-cabinet hair tool organizer to keep your hairstyling tools from becoming a mess of tangled cords that'll slow you down in the morning, especially when you're trying to get re-accustomed to your busy schedule of dropping the kids off at school *and* making it to work on time. Plus, now they won't take over *all* of your cabinet space.
Promising review: "This was perfect for what I was looking for. The hair dryer spot being in the middle provides better balance than other similar items I tried. This one also fit in my cabinet better and the hooks fit over my cabinet door that is a little thicker than some other products say will fit." –C
Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (available in two colors).
24. A hat organizer so you can stop struggling to find somewhere to house your ever-growing fall hat collection. If you don't have the floor space for a dedicated hat stand, but are swimming in empty walls — this is a wonderful and aesthetically pleasing solution!

Get it from Dunn Rustic TN on Etsy for $75+ (available in three sizes and three finishes).
25. Or a cap organizer that wraps around hangers and clothes racks. Now you have somewhere to keep your ever-growing collection of hats, scarves, and other fall accessories!
Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.
Promising review: "I give five stars for this hat organizer! I wish I discovered this product sooner. It is VERY easy to add onto a hanger. Simply open the flap, slip it over the hanger, and reattach the Velcro. The Velcro strip is wide and sturdy to prevent the entire thing from coming undone. Even after adding weight from the hats, the Velcro didn’t even budge. Overall the product is sewn well and appears like it does in the pictures. The clips are sturdy and can grasp thinner hats just as well as thick hats. This would be useful for other items like belts, hair accessories, and scarves too!!" —Tracy
Get it from Amazon for $6.59+ (available in six colors and multipacks).
26. Some Command hooks if the absurd lack of surface space in your apartment means that the best place to store things is on the walls. They're strong enough to hold a wide variety of items and require *no tools* to install. Plus, you can move or remove them whenever you want without leaving behind any damage or annoying sticky residue. Reviewers love these for fun seasonal decorations!
Promising review: "Absolutely love these! I have bought them three times already on Amazon. I have been trying to organize my kitchen utensils. I have minimal counter space and ceramic tile walls behind my counter. I am unable to risk drilling into the tile or to the underside of my cabinets. These sticky hooks are perfect!! They adhere to the tile AND to the wood laminate of my upper cabinets. They also are great on the painted wall and the bumpy side of my refrigerator. I started using these around March of 2020 and I have not had a single one fall down. I have various sizes of kitchen utensils and items hanging from them." —Tigerakp
Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $13.89.
27. A four-tier storage shelf you can place over the top of your toilet to hold a lot without taking up too much of your precious floor space. If, between you and your roommates, your household has accumulated enough new bath and beauty products over the summer to turn your once minimalist bathroom into something a little more maximalist (aka cluttered), this is a great way to add more storage space!
28. A hanging Roll Keeper T-shirt organizer that holds 20 rolls and will revolutionize the way you store your shirts (or towels) if you have wayyyy more than will fit in your small closet, especially after hitting the thrift stores *hard* while exploring this past summer.
The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington. Check out this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!
Promising review: "Our family is growing, and I realized there's a lot of space in a closet that isn't being used. That's how I came across these, and now I have them in all the closets. They make getting clothes so easy, and now we have more space for the growing family! Xoxo!" —Megan
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $17.99 or from Amazon Handmade for $23.99+ (available in two colors).
29. A hanging purse organizer so you actually have a place for all of your bags to live, especially if you're bringing new options into the mix for fall.
Promising review: "I ordered two of these, and I am so pleased. They held all my handbags (except two large tote bags), and I have quite a few. I was able to put two purses in most of the slots, and three or four small ones together in a couple of slots. This really made a difference in the organization of my handbags and makes my closet look so much neater. If you are considering this product, I highly recommend. Good value for the price!!!" —Brenda V
Get it from Amazon for $8.25.
30. And finally, a mounted stemware holder — it'll defy gravity to essentially turn one shelf into two!
This rack holds nine to 12 glasses depending on their size! And you're looking for some recommendations for wine glasses, we've got your back.
All of the mounting hardware is included, but heads up that these are geared more toward apartment owners than renters since you need to insert self-tapping screws into your cabinets — no drill required!
Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wine glasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fit the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom
Get it from Amazon for $19.93+ (available in rows of three or four, packs of one or two, and four finishes).
