1. A set of stainless-steel S-shaped hangers because you can basically only fit like three pairs of pants in your drawer before there's no room left. These'll maximize hanging space so you can store all your pants neatly in the closet and use the valuable drawer space for other clothes.
2. And some Wonder Hangers to triple your available closet storage and prevent wrinkling since your clothes aren't all smushed together. Each hanger can hold up to 30 pounds and can drop down vertically. (That's a handy feature for items like T-shirts, purses, scarves, belts, etc.)
Promising review: "I have over 200 shirts, pants and flannels. These hangers are simply amazing. I actually have two hangers to a slot, and it still works perfectly. I wouldn't try that with pants, though. But if you're looking for decent hangers that won't break the bank, get these!" —Patrick
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in gray, white, and packs of 24.
3. A scarf holder that'll keep your favorite chilly-weather accessory neat, organized, and easy to grab.
It can also be used to store belts, ties, or leggings.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter, summery/spring scarves but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure if it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." —Nikolette
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three colors).
4. An adjustable hanging rod so you can take advantage of unused closet space. It hangs from the existing clothing rod and adds a *second* rod underneath so you can use the dead space under your shirts, shorts, kiddos' clothes, etc.
Promising review: "The price was right, so I took a chance and am glad I did. The instructions were easy to follow, and assembly took less than five minutes. I adjusted the rod to hang two rows of jackets between the original closet rod and the adjustable rod. So far, the adjustable rod has over 20 jackets, is still sturdy, and has space for more items. I am very satisfied with the closet rod and recommend it to others." —Robin L.
Get it from Amazon for $17.87.
5. A hanging legging organizer for freeing up space in your cramped drawers. If you're a "if I like it I'll just grab it in another color" type of person, chances are your dresser is stuffed to the brim with a veritable rainbow of leggings (or they're all black leggings...it me!).
6. Some space-saving vacuum storage bags if you're already dreading having to store all your bulky sweaters come March. With these bags, you can vacuum all the air out so they take up a fraction of your closet space. And you can do this while they're on the hanger instead of trying to fold and smush them in a regular vacuum bag.
Promising review: "These are the best storage bags ever. Nothing else works as well or is as effectively. I've tried them all and these are by far my favorite." —CCD
Get a variety six-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in various sizes).

7. Or a pack of hanging vacuum bags because you can vacuum all the air out *while* your clothes are on the hanger instead of trying to fold and smush them in a regular vacuum bag.
Promising review: "I was so excited to receive the hanging vacuum bags. I opened them as soon as I received them, and they definitely exceeded my expectations. I have so much stuff and so little storage that these were the perfect solution for storing my winter jackets. I have so many coats, and this was the best solution for storing them." —Lisa Caskey
Get a set of four from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in four styles and larger packs).
8. A pack of shelf dividers to organize your clothes into neat and distinct piles. These dividers provide stability for soft clothes that tend to fall over into one big pile of mess.
9. An expanding honeycomb drawer organizer that'll fit pretty much any size drawer. It combines your Tetris-like organizing skills and your love of actually being able to find a pair of matching socks.
Promising review: "Great! I loved it and will order more in the future. It is better than using rubber bands when I roll socks to keep them together." —Shirley L. A. Fayette
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
10. Or some drawer divider bins so you'll be forced to toss those random socks that no longer have matches. You may be surprised by how much free space you have now thanks to simply folding your clothes.
Each set comes with four bins with six, seven, eight, and 24 slots.
Promising review: "Bought this for my daughter who moved in to her college dorm to help her keep the limited dresser drawer space organized. She says that it's 'great' for keeping her things organized but also helpful to see when she's running low on underwear or socks and needs to get a load of clothes done!" —Lori B.
Get it from Amazon for $13.57 (available in seven colors).
11. Some hanging closet organizers for storing clothing, accessories, shoes, and more — all in a sleek and space-saving design.
12. A space-saving hanger organizer if you're an adult with a jumbled bin of hangers. It just doesn't have to be like that!
Promising review: "I didn't know that I had needed this all of my life until I got one for my husband out of desperation. His hangers were all over the house, so I got this to try. I assembled it for him while he was at work and immediately ordered one for myself. It doesn't take up much floor space but holds a ton of my velvet hangers. Much better than any other method I've tried to contain hangers in the past, and it looks really nice. Sturdy and high quality. Easy to assemble." —SavvyShopper
Get it from Amazon for $24.09 (also available in multipacks).
13. A hanging purse organizer because what's the point of having nice bags if you're just going to toss them in your closet and forget about them. Now you can see your purses without straining the straps by hanging them up.
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 could 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 made 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 $7.99.
14. A tiered metal hanger to organize your sports bras and tank tops so you can actually see (and enjoy) your full collection!
Promising review: "Love this product. My closet has so much space now compared to before using these. I have so many tank tops and these have been a great help to making my closet have more room. I’m so happy I bought these. They’re great quality and exactly as described." —Mariah Blair
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and in multi-packs).
15. A genius rolled storage system that'll hold bulky sweaters, towels, blankets, sheets, etc. Now, you can find the exact hoodie you want instead of settling for being cold.
The Roll Kepper is a small biz based in Kelso, Washington that's run by Traci, who has over 40 years of crafting experience.
Promising review: "I use this to hold all my sweaters and hoodies for the winter. My apartment has terrible insulation, so it’s super helpful to have this out and ready to use. It will only take two seconds to put away if company comes over as well." —Sarah Kriner
Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $18.99.
16. Some clothing dividers so you can find the white button-down you're seeking instead of rifling through every piece of clothing that's hanging in your closet.
Cilpa Store is a small business based in Latvia.
Promising review: "Just as described. Helped me get clothes organized in a stylish yet simple way and finally get all my books in line. Great seller!" —Marc
Get it from Cilpa Store on Etsy for $7.92/each (available in 2 colors and 11 styles — dresses, jackets, etc.)
17. A closet organizer system for a custom fit storage solution.
All the hardware for mounting this organizer comes included, though you may want to enlist a friend who is handy with these sorts of things if you're not. Each kit includes (7) 26-inch shelves, (2) 48-inch shelves, (2) 48-inch top rails, 19 brackets, (5) 47.5-inch uprights, (2) 25-inch upright extensions, and 2 hanging rods for you to set up however you'd like.
Promising review: "I have a small room in an apartment that I share with others that doesn't have a built-in closet and limited floor space, especially with the weird architecture. To maximize my space, I removed my armoire and replaced it with the Rubbermaid closet system and voilà — instant floor space since the Rubbermaid kit is dynamically taller and provides me extra floor space under the unit for storage. My tiny room feels huge." —V G
Get it from Amazon for $134.99+ (available in two colors and sizes).
18. A set of velvet closet hangers if your silky blouses and work jackets usually end up lost. No, wait! They slipped off the plastic hanger and are on the closet floor. These thin, nonslip hangers will save space and make your closet look b-e-a-utifully organized.
Promising review: "Bought two packages after seeing a show on Netflix about organizing. It made a huge difference in my closet, and it forced me to clean out all those clothes that I keep for the just-in-case moments. Highly recommend them. Makes your clothes look way more appealing." —Monica Mlgz
Get a set of 30 from Amazon for $21.99 (available in seven colors and in 30-, 50-, and 100-packs).
19. A collapsible bin because sometimes you need storage options and sometimes you don't. These bins will hold clothing when they're needed and then fold down flat so you can store them when they're not in use, thus freeing up closet space for other items.
I own two of these, and they are fantastic. Yes, they're pricey, but they're durable and have lasted me several years and a move. The same can not be said for the flimsy $5 plastic bins I used to buy that cracked and warped. I use mine to hold sweaters and hoodies — items too bulky to store in a drawer or hang in my tiny closet. My boyfriend has one, too, and we use them to keep our clothes separate. No more arguing about someone unfairly taking more drawer space than the other person! I'm about to store at least a dozen items in the bin, depending on how thick the clothing is.
Get it from Amazon for $55.24+ (available in two sizes, five colors, and with or without a lid)
20. Or a set of versatile tiered organizing cubes to offer custom storage options if a giant bin that you toss everything into is exact system you're trying to avoid.
Promising review: "They are just what I needed to add lightweight shelving to my closet and are working out so well. They are fairly sturdy and are holding the lightweight items I’ve placed on them just fine. I wouldn’t store anything heavy like books on them. Putting them together was fairly easy, with a couple of minor frustrations along the way. I love the versatility of these. Overall, I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to add shelving for lightweight items." —Jen
Get a set of six from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
21. A soft storage bag that'll keep things separate and prevent closet clutter that makes it difficult to find whatever you're looking for. Plus, there's even a clear panel that lets you see inside the bag, so you don't tear into one expecting to find your lightweight duvet only to find holiday decorations.
I use them to hold extra pillows and bedding — they're great! You probably don't want to store heavy items in them as the bags are made of fabric, but they're very spacious and get the job done for lighter-weight items.
Promising review: "These are soft-side storage bags. I organized my closet and stored extra blankets, throws, and pillows in these bags. They look great, and my closet is very organized now. I bought black, which looks great. I would buy more of these." —Mona Sarratt Knight
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
22. A set of hook-shaped hangers so your fave hoodies are easy to grab whenever you feel a bit chilly. These hangers hold your hoodie by...well...the hood so the neck won't get stretched out thanks to you trying to pull them over a hanger.
Venalli Builds is an Overland Park, Kansas-based small business specializing in genius hooks!
Promising review: "I purchased these for the second time because they're great. No more stretched necks or shoulder spikes from putting hoodies on a regular hanger. I like them very much." —Jay Kelly
Get a set of five from Venalli Builds on Etsy for $19.99.
23. A pack of Elephant Trax Labels for making storing and — most important — finding clothing as easy as possible. Attach a sticker to the box, take photos of everything inside it, et voilà. You now have a visual inventory! And when you need to locate your summer dresses in a few months, you can open your phone and find the exact box that they're in.
Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered an extra pack of these. My goal for January was to organize the basement. I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I’m looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker’s QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" —Fred Labro
Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A cap organizer if you're the proud owner of an extensive baseball hat collection. Now if you could only find the one you're looking for...
Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.
Promising review: "I give 5 stars for this hat organizer! I wish I discovered this product sooner. It is VERY easy to add to a hanger. 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 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 $5.99+ (available in four colors and a two-pack).
