1. A set of shelf organizers to double the amount of cabinet space (or countertop space!) that you have. The metal and bamboo construction is super durable and they're stackable as well.
Promising review: "You need this! EXACTLY what we were looking for. Oak color blends right into interior of cabinets and white supports match our dishes. Going to, for sure, buy more for every cabinet in the house. Instantly gained twice the storage. No longer have to pick up a stack of dishes to grab a tray, etc. Bargain as well. Looks way better and supports so much more than old wire shelves... Solid wood/metal. Easy to install each shelf with nothing but the four screws included and a Phillips head screwdriver. Had all four 'built' in less than five minutes. 100% recommend! —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.84+ (available in two finishes).
2. An Anyday deep dish for whipping up easy and delicious meals in ONE sleek container. Because you can cook, serve, and store food in the same dish it eliminates the need for separate serving bowls and Tupperware. Get ready to clear out some much needed room in your cabinets. 😎
Anyday is a woman-owned, small biz founded by Steph Chen in 2021. They specialize in cookware designed for the microwave. Yes, you heard that right! The five dishes in their product line are crafted from frosted borosilicate glass (each dish comes with a matching glass lid, too) that's microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Just add your favorite foods and voila! The silicone-rimmed lids keep steam inside to cook food evenly and keep ingredients moist. FYI — veggies, chicken, fish, bacon, eggs, pasta, and grains all cook really well in the microwave.
Promising reviews: "The dishes work great. So far, I have made mashed potatoes, rice, and polenta. They all cooked just right. The frosted glass looks nice and helps with gripping them if hand washing. It is nice to be able to cook, serve, and save in the same dish." —Lisa V.
"I LOVE this cookware! Being able to use the microwave to cook more of my meals is faster AND means that the kitchen stays cooler when I don’t have to use the oven or stovetop. I’m having a great time adapting recipes to the cookware and so far everything has been a success. BRAVO!" —Beth W
3. A three-tier shelf organizer to help you use every inch of available space when storing dinnerware and cookware. Reviewers note that this organizer works best with round plates, btw!
Promising review: "Omg this is great! I have a very small kitchen and not enough room for everything in it. This helped save space and it fits so nicely in the corner of the cabinet. I can fit so much more without it looking too cluttered." —Kathryn
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in packs of one or two and in two finishes).
4. A set of 12 magnetic spice containers so you can save precious drawer or cabinet space and stick these bbs to the side of your fridge — or really any magnetic surface!
Promising review: "My husband said I was wasting money when I bought these for our RV. He quickly realized just how wrong he was. We both love them and it has saved us so much space. I just stuck them to the refrigerator before we went on our trip. The first thing I did once we arrived was go into the RV and check on them. They didn't move, not even a smidge! Well worth the money!" —Angaleann Higgins
Get the set of 12 from Amazon for $18.99.
5. A fruit and veggie hammock that'll absofruitly free up some counter space without damaging your cabinets! There are 12 fun colors to choose from so you can zhuzh up a plain kitchen and add a lil' texture.
Knapps Knots is a San Diego-based macrame and wood craft shop run by Anastasia Knapp, who is from Ukraine.
Promising review: "I’m so glad I bought one of these for my fruit. It’s super cute and keeps it off my countertop. Loved it so much I bought another one for my veggies!" —Jessica Bordoni
Get it from Knapps Knots on Etsy for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors)
6. A zero-installation-required magnetic stove shelf for keeping your favorite kitchen tools and spices close while reducing countertop clutter. If food splatters while you're cooking the shelf can be hand washed!
Promising review: "This is amazing and I have no idea I didn’t buy one of these years ago!!! My new stove wouldn’t get close enough to the wall to allow me to rest anything on top without it falling behind. This was absolutely PERFECT. I am very happy that the magnets provided were able to be moved. This allowed me to place them perfectly for maximum hold because my top was slightly curved." —JStill
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and six finishes).
7. A set of nesting food storage containers with matching lids so you won't have to waste time looking for the right lid ~ever~ again. The five different sizes fit together to save a TON of space.
These handy dandy containers are also microwave- and freezer-safe!
Promising review: "We absolutely love this set of food storage containers! The fact that all the pieces stack together and all the lids snap together is genius — really great for small kitchens like mine. I also love how the container and lid are color-coordinated. It makes finding the right lid for the right size container a breeze. They're also just a cheerful color scheme that's fun to look at. A++ buy!" —Abbey Thompson
Get the set of five containers and lids from Amazon for $27.53 (available in three color combinations; also available in smaller and larger sets).
8. A cabinet door organizer that hooks onto the back of your cabinet (no drilling required!!) and can store everything from cutting boards, bakeware, and plastic food wrap to cleaning supplies.
It measures 13.5 x 9.5 x 3.62 inches and the hooks have foam padding on the back so they won't scratch your doors.
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+ (available in packs of one and two).
9. Or an entire pantry door organizer with five adjustable shelf baskets for storing items of all sizes. It can be hung (there are two over-the-door hooks) or mounted! Your pantry is about to feel a LOT bigger.
Some reviewers even use it to organize their bathroom products, too! Genius!
Promising review: "I was looking for some extra storage options for my pantry. Since all the walls already have shelves and I was running out of space, the only possibility to create more storage was by the door. I originally found this product to be a bit pricey but I have to say it’s worth the money. It’s very simple, a child could 'assemble' it in under five minutes. It holds a lot of stuff, even heavy cans, you just have to space the heavy and lighter stuff out. I did not use the sticky strips and whatever else that came with it to secure it even better to the door, because just hanging it on the door makes it very stable. It’s a storage lifesaver if you’re struggling with space!" —IslandLife
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in three sizes).
10. An over-the-door plastic bag organizer to keep your collection of bags in check while also making it wayyyy easier to grab one in a hurry. Psst — this can be placed on the inside or outside of your cabinet!
11. A set of ceramic berry baskets for washing, storing, and proudly displaying the fruit you just picked up from the farmers market. Each basket holds 16 ounces and can easily be used to organize makeup, craft supplies, and other odds and ends around the house, too.
Promising review: "Literally the CUTEST ceramic berry trays! I want to buy them all I am obsessed!!! These trays are very well made and look so cute in my house and fridge. I’m living out my cottage core dreams with these. These are a NEED for all my aesthetic-loving friends." —Megan Ringo
Get a set of four from Amazon for $32.95+ (available in four colors).
12. A set of customizable spice labels to *finally* organize your spice collection and make it easier to see what you already have. The minimalistic design is easy to read and won't rub off because the labels are printed on water-resistant polyester paper.
You can customize the text on your labels (this is helpful if you plan to use the labels in your laundry room or bathroom) OR choose one of the standard label options, which include popular spices like allspice, basil, black pepper, cayenne, etc.
Real + Vibrant is a woman-owned small business based in Seattle that specializes in modern labels for your home and kitchen.
Promising review: "High-quality labels!! Shipping was super fast. Seller verified the custom labels I ordered in addition to the standard 80-set before shipping. I placed a label crooked, and I was able to gently lift and reapply without damage. Love how my spice cabinet looks now!" —Etsy Customer
Get them from Real + Vibrant on Etsy for $10+ (available in multiple sizes).
13. A magnetic knife strip because it's more aesthetically pleasing than a bulky knife block, and it will help you save valuable counter space/drawer space in a small kitchen. Reviewers also LOVE that this product is made with *real* wood.
Promising review: "This magnetic strip for my knives is functional and beautiful. I appreciated that they gave you so many different woods to choose from so you could match it to your cabinets. It was very easy to install. I ordered the 12-inch one which I knew was just a little bit longer than I needed. It was so easy to trim a little off the ends to make it fit perfectly. I would definitely buy this product again and recommend it to everyone." —Louise
Get it from Amazon for $39+ (available in a variety of lengths and wood types).
14. A collapsible drying rack that also doubles as a cooling rack for baked goods (it's heat resistant), a wash station for fruits and veggies, and a defrosting station. This product is a godsend for anyone without a dishwasher (#me) or enough kitchen space for a full dish rack.
Promising review: "My dishwasher is on the fritz, so this came into my life at a great time. I’ve had it for a week and don’t know how I got along without it. It’s so handy and easy to roll up part or all of it when you need to access part or all of the sink bowl. I have a standard double-bowl stainless drop-in sink; I measured carefully to get the right size so it exactly covers the entire one bowl. It actually makes my ordinary sink look a little more high end, so I’ll probably leave it out all the time! Would rate 10 stars if I could!" —joan purdie
Get it from Amazon for $11.18.
15. A slim cutlery drawer organizer so you won't have to spend ten minutes rummaging through a messy drawer just to find *one* clean spoon. You'll be surprised how much extra space you have when your silverware drawer is neatly organized!
Promising reviews: "Perfect for a small apartment space! This was the answer to a lot of space-saving questions for my husband and I when we moved into a smaller apartment. Cutlery has always been something that has just taken up too much space in a drawer, and this particular product did the job splendidly! On the product itself it has suggestions about what cutlery to put in what part of the space, and we found that adjusting that is easy and you don’t necessarily have to follow that model specifically. Would recommend to anyone who needs some more drawer space!" —Lindsey Spinelli
"This was a quarantine impulse buy for me: I suddenly want everything in my home perfectly organized. This was great. The top row fits my set of steak knives and the bottom row holds miscellaneous knives for chopping." —MKB from CT
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two colors).
16. A super compact 8-in-1 spiralizer that also juices fruit, grates cheese and veggies, cuts ribbons, and so much more. Gone are the days where your kitchen is cluttered with tools and gadgets that each perform one function.
Take it from my BuzzFeed Shopping colleague, Emma Lord, who owns this product herself:
I purchased this because it was my cheapest option for making zoodles, and also because my old apartment was the size of a shoebox and there was no room for anything bigger. I LOVE how easy it is to swap out the caps to do other things, too — I've started grating my own cheeses and feel very fancy. But mostly I just love that it's very safe to use (it comes with a finger guard!), super easy to figure out, very compact, and even has measurements on the inside of the cup if you're ever portioning things out for a recipe.
Promising review: "In love with this little space-saving gadget. It is easy to use, the blades are sharp enough and it works exactly as described! Salads are so much better!" —Angie
Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three styles).
17. A space-saving can-dispensing rack so getting a can of sauce no longer feels like a game of Jenga. 😅 It holds up to 36 cans and will transform your pantry into a calm and organized space that's enjoyable to be in.
Promising review: "We have a storage cabinet in our garage that I like to keep stocked with nonperishable food since we never know when we'll end up on a two-week quarantine these days. I was having a hard time keeping up with what we had and it was just a jumbled mess. My rack came today and it's so much more organized. It's super sturdy and it only took a couple of minutes to put together. I filled it up and I was able fit 44 cans since some are tiny...5 stars!" —Kimberly C.
Get it from Amazon for $23.97+ (available in three finishes).
18. A lazy Susan turntable that can store spices, oils, condiments, etc. and make it MUCH easier to see what you have. It measures 9 inches in diameter and has a raised rim that prevents stuff from sliding off.
Promising review: "I use this in my cabinet to organize my spices. It saves a lot of space and is convenient to use. I can access all the spices I need with a quick spin. I like to keep my kitchen counter as clear as possible so I prefer using this over a larger spice rack." —Mister Totoro
Get it from Amazon for $7.80+ (available in 16 colors).
19. A tiered shelf to make good use of the kitchen space you *do* have and triple the amount of available storage. Plus, cooking will be much easier (and more enjoyable!) when you're not knocking over condiment bottles just to reach that one ingredient in the back of your cabinet. 🙄
Promising review: "I added this item to my shopping list several weeks ago and I’m so glad I finally committed to buying it. As a vegetarian, I’ve found that I have to add double the spice just to get a real kick in the dishes I prepare. Not to mention, making sure that I have all the spices that I’m going to need while being quarantining/social distancing. With that said, my spice cabinet was atrocious before I got these racks. And I am so happy to finally be able to grab my spices without knocking over the other ones and making even more of a mess. I didn’t know something so small and plain could bring me so much joy. Buy it now! You will not be disappointed." —Arie M.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and 17 colors).
20. A KitchenAid attachment mount that lets you click the attachments in and out of place in a hot second so you'll always have the proper tools for whisking, meringue-ing, and mixing up some eggless cookie dough you're not *not* gonna eat from the bowl at your fingertips.
FusedLine is a Seattle-based Etsy shop that specializes in KitchenAid and coffee accessories.
Promising review: "Thank you!!! Absolutely love it! I wasn't sure what to expect but surpassed my expectations by 1,000%. I finally have the attachments in one place and they are no longer rolling around in a drawer." —sbmcgowan
Get it from FusedLine on Etsy for $11 (available in three colors and as a screw-on or adhesive mount).
