    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

Its got a sturdy backing on both pieces (piece with pockets and a piece that goes between mattresses), one large pocket closest to the bed, and three decent-sized mesh pockets. I have it between my mattress and box spring." —Danielle

    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.

    27. A strong magnetic stove shelf for anyone whose kitchen is painfully low on counter and cupboard space. 

    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).

    28. A set of minimalist hooks you can use to hold jackets, bags, sweaters, and other things that usually end up in a pile on that one chair in your room that used to be a nice place to sit until it became the designated landfill for items that have nowhere else to go.

    BTW, we've got you covered with a list of the best makeup storage products.

    Promising review: "I am amazed at how much this organizer actually fits! I have a TON of long makeup brushes and liner pencils and other things that I was worried would be too big for this, but everything fit great. The material is durable and looks well made (for a bit of clear plastic). My favorite parts are the wonderful drawers that fit a BUNCH of stuff (I believe I have three full-sized eye pallets in one of them) and the fact that you can take each level apart. 

    You can split up your organized makeup and use the organizer for different areas of your bathroom or closet. Great purchase! Has definitely made my beauty products much more manageable and fun! It’s easier to use more of your fun makeup when you actually know where it’s at!" —brian k

    Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. 

    I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

    Get it from Amazon for $16.87+ (also available as a two-pack).

    38. A macramé produce hammock if you've completely run out of surfaces but still wanna store your fruits and veggies in a way that is pleasing to the eye.

    Promising review: "DO NOT HESITATE!!! Purchase this! You won’t find a better price. I looked at Walmart, Target, Wayfair, Overstock... they all had the same thing for way more $. This is the best price you’ll find this for! So sleek and clean and cute! We have a tiny bathroom and wanted to add more storage without taking up room. This was PERFECT! Even comes with bolts to nail it into the wall so it’s secure, which was super thoughtful considering I have a little one. Love this!!!" –THELASHMOVE | Kaytlin

    Get it from Amazon for $62.95+ (available in three colors). 

    43. A wooden bookcase that comes in different sizes to nestle into even the narrowest nooks and crannies at your place (and provide some extra storage, obvi).

    Promising review: "This little shelving unit is perfect for the small space I had between another bigger shelving unit and the back door. It is really sturdy which it needs to be since it's very close to the doggie door that my 55-pound dog charges through. 

    It was easy to put together; I even figured out the installation illustrations which is often my downfall. My taller books fit on the shelves nicely. And to make it even better — it's almost the same color as the shelving unit it stands beside. Definitely worth buying!" –Rohana Chomick 

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two styles, six sizes, and four finishes).

    44. set of fridge drawers so your refrigerator can finally have its Pinterest-worthy debut as a haven of organization. This way, all of your goods will be viewable and accessible, so you can once and for all stop forgetting about the items lost to the abyss that is the back of your fridge.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these refrigerator pantry organizers. I purchased one set and after receiving it, I purchased a second. They are sturdy and fit well into my refrigerator and freezer. Prior to purchasing these my freezer was a nightmare! 

    No matter how I placed food in the freezer I was always struggling with food falling out when I opened the door. With these organizers I am able to separate out my meat, fruit, vegetables, etc. Additionally, looking in the back of the freezer is as simple as using the organizer handle and pulling it out of the freezer. I highly recommend this product." —Amanda

    45. And finally, a coffee pod tray that'll hide itself under your kitchen cabinets and house all of your little containers of caffeine, instead of letting them run loose in a drawer or take up space in your pantry.

    Promising review: "Love these things! Best thing I impulse bought on Amazon. I didn't want a tray thing or a stand thing for coffee pods that would take up more counter space I don't have. Using a drawer is out of the question, too. Enter the E-Z Shelf by Perfect Pod! Exactly what I needed and wanted. I was hesitant after seeing reviews saying they it won't stay closed. I have been using these things twice a day since I got them in my hot lil hands, and they are still working perfectly! 

    No problems with pods not fitting, shelf not closing, or not sticking to the under-cabinet like other reviewers! They work perfectly! Don't know why more people don't want these, as they are super handy for us with little counter spaces! Update: It's been a year and these are still in perfect shape and used every day with no problems! Still highly recommended!" —Grave237
