1. Nesting food storage containers in a rainbow of colors to make matching the lid easier than ever (each container has a dot with the same color as the lid right on the bottom!) — and of course, these take up, like, *no* room in your cabinets.
2. A laundry folding board that'll, in a few quick moves, transform your wrinkled piles of clothes into *neat*, *easy-to-sort-through* stacks o' crispness, which take up MUCH less space in your closet...and even your suitcase.
Promising review: "Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" —Kayli

3. The newest 2022 version (it has a built-in light, dark mode, and TWICE the storage!!) of the original basic Kindle so you can save storage space (and money) on all the books you love — you can even check ebooks out from your local library to your Kindle *for free*.
4. A narrow three-tier rolling cart that nests neatly between your washer and dryer (or in other small spaces that are currently going unused) to store pantry essentials you can reach for easily whenever you need 'em.
Promising review: "This little cabinet was so easy to assemble. It’s small, it’s sturdy, and it’s easy to maneuver. I found this purchase extremely valuable, because it fit in the spot that I planned for it… right next to the washer and dryer." —Amanda Christel
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in three colors)
5. A durable honeycomb drawer insert to corral your socks, scarves, ties, undies, etc. in style, because a more organized drawer = a drawer that can hold more. Now you can actually see which is which when getting dressed in the morning.
6. A folding two-level desk so you can get your WFH on in style without sacrificing permanent space. You can store this right under your bed or couch when not in use!
7. A fruit and veggie hammock (seriously, how cute is this tho), to free up your precious counter space for prep work *and* keep your bananas and apples at eye height so you might actually, well, eat one.
8. A wireless charger *frame* so when you're not powering up your device, you get a nice little extra bit of home decor. Why clutter up your bedside table with chargers when you can just pop this right on?
9. A set of Shoe Slotz for any Carrie Bradshaw with way too many pairs of pumps to fit into an NYC-sized closet. Just put one shoe on the shelf, top with a ~Shoe Slot~, and stack the other shoe on top. You just DOUBLED your storage space.
10. Or a ~secret~ slim profile shoe rack, because that pile of shoes in your closet or mudroom is a mess, makes it harder to pick which shoes to wear, and might end up leaving scuffs on your favorite kicks. Plus, it's actually such a chic piece of furniture!
Btw, the image is of two of the cabinets next to each other! Check out a TikTok of the shoe rack in action.
Promising review: "Love the shoe storage. Mostly bought for the look, not practicality. These fit sandals/anything flat like Birks, running shoes, and Air Forces fine, but anything taller won't fit. Six shoes total for one cabinet fit. Would buy again. Does as advertised and easy on the eyes." —mmaj
Get it from Amazon for $100.59+ (available in four colors)
11. A lamp with such a smart design — it hooks right over the back of your headboard so you can have just the right amount of low-level light for reading before bed. It's especially great if you don't have enough space for a bedside table with a lamp!
This is designed to slide over headboards up to 1.5 inches thick but reviewers say it will stretch for larger headboards.
Promising review: "Great little headboard lamps. Make reading before going to sleep a joy. No more trying to find the right light angle. Love them, so I decided to get a couple for my husband." —Gurpreet
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
12. An over-the-cabinet storage system that'll finally neaten up your three curling irons, plus your straightener and blow dryer in an otherwise-unused space. Bonus? No more tripping over random cords on your way to pee.
13. A truly genius picture frame designed to display and store all of your kids' masterpieces, so they're not in storage bins or drawers. Each frame opens up to reveal an interior space with elastic straps to hang onto up to 50(!!) pieces you're not (currently) displaying so you can rotate their art!
Check it out on TikTok!
It displays 8.5 by 11 with the (included) mat and 10 by 12.5 without!
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this. Got it, hung it, put in art and IMMEDIATELY turned around and ordered a second one. Two are a must so you can hang one vertically and one horizontally. What an ideal solution to displaying art. If it’s left out it inevitably gets torn or ruined. This keeps it safe, and displays it perfectly on the wall. IN LOVE!" —Sara Lazaro

Americanflat is a NYC-based small biz making cool home decor products.
14. Command spray bottle mounts to corral your cleaning supplies and free up extra storage space in your under-sink cabinet or linen closet, because every square inch counts! Each one can hold up to 2.5 pounds, and (like with any Command product) you don't need any tools or hardware to install, and it won't leave any damage behind.
Promising review: "I followed the directions exactly and these adhered just like they are supposed to. I am using them for spray cleaner bottles inside my kitchen cabinet. They are so helpful! Before, the bottles would often fall over and make a mess. These hangers make it easy to grab and spray a countertop to get it clean quickly. I'm buying another set now." —truffles01
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.59.
15. A fire extinguishing spray that's compact to fit where you need to keep it handy in the kitchen and is housed in a convenient and easy-to-use aerosol-style can so you don't need to spend precious time figuring out how to even *work* a fire extinguisher when every moment counts.
This is designed for small kitchen fires, is great for grease fires (an evergreen reminder to NEVER throw water on a grease fire), and provides 32 seconds of discharge (4x longer than regular fire extinguishers). And btw, the spray is actually biodegradable!
Promising review: "I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy to use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it's so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don't have time to remember a three step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I'm not a firefighter! I'd really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn't it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house." —K. Zander
Get it from Amazon for $12.97.
16. A beanbag cover you can ~stuff~ with all of the plush animals you have cluttering your kid's room (or...your entire home). Just stuff and zip, and you've got a whole beanbag! Storage + comfy seating = a more peaceful playroom.
Promising review: "Perfect for decluttering the dozens of stuffed animals that my kids have collected! I didn’t want to throw them out so this was the perfect solution for saving space!" —allthingsrayrayk
Promising review: "My kids (6 and 8) have beds overrun with stuffed animals. I’ve tried to downsize but they weren’t having it. No room for hammocks or shelves just for plushies. This solution is genius!! It arrived today and it fit almost all of their plushies (I bought them each their own). The handle is great for them to drag it around to sit on. So happy with this purchase."—Barlow Girl
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors).
17. A spice *drawer* organizer so you can turn the messiest part of the kitchen into a clear, easy-to-read assortment of jars and labels. You'll save cabinet space AND never again accidentally add cumin where you meant to add coriander.
18. A 50-pack of super-slim velvet hangers to streamline your closet, allowing you to hang way more tops, blazers, and dresses (oh so many dresses).
19. A mini KitchenAid stand mixer (it's 3.5 quarts!) that'll be perfectly sized for your counter space. Now you can whip up batch after batch of cookies *and* have enough space for a cooling rack.
20. And a KitchenAid attachment organizer that hangs right from — you guessed it — the bottom of your cabinets to free up precious drawers and keep your dough hook, paddle, and whisk attachments ready whenever the urge to bake strikes (aka every day).
21. A zero-installation-required magnetic stove shelf for keeping your most-used seasonings at arm's reach. Who *doesn't* need additional storage space in what is truly the best room in your home?
22. An under-cabinet jar opener so you can keep a very *handy* tool out of sight, out of mind (until you need it for those pesky pickles) and most importantly: out of your drawers.
23. A minimalist silverware tray that'll help you save drawer space, make emptying the dishwasher easier and keep the cutlery for becoming ~clutter-ly~. No forking room left in your kitchen?? No problem.
24. A Command key rail/organizer to make the most of your doors or closet wall space. Reviewers use it from everything from bags to masks to necklaces to measuring cups! And since it's Command, you can feel confident you're keeping the paint work intact.
25. A clip-on silicone strainer, because why waste drawer space on a full-size colander or struggle with losing half of your noodles down the drain?? This bb is smaller AND easier to use.
26. A set of ~as-seen-on-TV~ Wonder Hangers that'll help prevent those pesky snags and wrinkles caused by overcrowded closets (and actually see what's in there!). Time for a shopping spree, because you suddenly have more room.
27. A shower curtain with built-in mesh pockets so you finally have room for all four conditioners you rotate through, your loofah, and shampoo brush — without getting anything moldy or mildewy. These'll keep everything aired out and dry. Aaaaand off your already-crowded tub ledge.
28. A curling iron with five interchangeable barrels to create tons and tons and tons of different curl patterns and hairstyles without having to buy or store five separate tools. They range from a tapered wand (.3-.75 inches) to a 1.25 inch clamped curling iron so you can customize your look!
29. A set of Space Saver vacuum bags to squeeeeeze your out-of-season clothes and blankets into their most compact version. Closets can't close?? We got you.
30. A closet rod you can hang from your existing one so you can make the very most out of your vertical space (and help your little'un reach their favorite outfits without your help).
31. A macrame plant hanger if you've simply run out of surfaces on which to place your little green friends. You can start hanging them from the ceiling now — plus it provides some real lush ~ambience~.
32. A bed frame with built-in storage space that'll corral and reduce the extra stuff in your closet (hello, out-of-season clothes and bedding!) so swimsuits can be out of sight, out of mind until the warm weather comes back.
33. An over-the-door plastic bag organizer to restrain your collecting habits, corral your bags, and make it easy to grab one to use without disturbing the whole assortment. Just reach in the hole!
34. A five-in-one wine stopper that'll also aerate (so your three-buck ~opens up~ to let the nuances and flavors shine), filter out cork particles, pour neatly, and re-cork the bottle. That's a lot of tasks for such a tiny device. Those giant aerating decanters? No longer needed.
35. A Scrub Daddy sponge holder to keep your very favorite cleaning tool suctioned to the side of your sink, ready to tackle any grimey task you want to throw his way. He'll drip dry between uses without leaving a mess *and* you'll free up a few square inches of precious counter space too!
Promising review: "Finally a nice place to keep my Scrub Daddy. Holds great on the side of the sink. The suction power is strong for its size, and it rotates with ease. This is a good holder for the price." —Luis peralez
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

Psst — you can get a Scrub Daddy sponge here on Amazon! If you don't know what makes a Scrub Daddy different from other sponges, let me tell ya: it's firm in cold water (for tougher messes) but soft in warm water (for lighter cleaning). The scratch-free material is safe on tons of surfaces: glass, stainless steel, cast iron, nonstick, chrome, copper, etc. And if you thought the face was just a gimmick, think twice — the eye and smile holes are great for quickly cleaning large and small utensils!
36. A handy dandy over-the-door mirror with a secret — inside is a (lockable!) compartment with space for alllllll your jewelry, plus LED lights so you can see your fave pieces ~sparkle~.
37. A wall-mounted trio of seagrass baskets for additional *stylish* storage wherever you need it, like your entryway or home office space.
38. A set of handy-dandy under-shelf baskets you can use in closets! pantries! cabinets! or even the fridge! to maximize all your space. Stacking things endlessly will *not* end well — these will help.
39. Or a cabinet system to help you make the most out of your space for all of your novelty mugs and giant pasta bowls — and your regular plates, too. No more unused air at the top of each shelf!
40. A wall-mounted wood note roll to keep a running to-do or grocery list *off* your counter and *in* your brain. Just add to your list whenever something pops in your brain, and tear off to take on-the-go (the band at the bottom helps with easy tearing!).
41. A set of five-rung pants hangers to stow away alllllllllll your jeans and leggings — without hogging up your whole hanging rod. We're preventing clothes from stacking up on The Chair, one slightly weird-looking hanger at a time.
42. A Cuisinart five-in-one sandwich press, griddle, and grill for a kitchen tool that's the opposite of a unitasker.
43. A hanging glassware rack that'll add precious storage space under your cabinet *and* add a cool bar-like vibe to your kitchen. Aaaaand make it even easier to pour yourself a quick glass of the good stuff after a long day.
44. A 30-section hanging organizer to free up your floor space — all your sneakers, ballet, flats, and loafers need a forever home where they won't get dusty (or make you trip).
45. Shelf dividers so you can stack *HIGH* without your teetering tower of sweaters toppling when you're rushing in the morning. No one likes a jumper jumble.
46. A pretty acrylic makeup organizer for displaying your favorite palettes, nail polishes, and more right on your vanity, rather than hogging up bathroom drawers. Live your best beauty YouTuber life.
47. A jewel-tone wall-hanging file folder so you can organize all those pesky papers — OUT of your already-crowded desk — and add a touch of color to your drab office. Color-coding is a beautiful thing!
48. A très chic storage ottoman that packs a punch of style AND substance — you can sneakily hide your stash of scented candles, little trinkets, or snacks and pretend you are, in fact, a minimalist. As if.
49. Or a tufted storage bench for a chicly secretive place to store extra blankets, books, or even shoes (idk about you, but I'm always looking for shoe storage), while blending in with your decor.
