Getting Organized May Seem Impossible, But These 43 Products Offer Legit Solutions

Anything is possible, especially if you have the right tools.

1. An expanding file folder — it fits up to 200 pieces of paper, so you can take all those receipts you've been saving over the past year and organize them by date, merchant, or whatever you were keeping them for...*shrugs*

Promising reviews: "This organizes my paperwork. It holds a lot and I love the pastel color of it. It came with labels to help identify each slot. Its made of plastic but still sturdy enough." —SuzyB

"I own more than six of these and they never disappoint! I recommend it for organizing all of your documents. I personally use it to separate my tax paperwork, paid off bills, work documents, etc. The possibilities are endless." —Honest Reviews

Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (available in 11 colors).

2. A cutlery drawer organizer that takes up half the space of a typical organizer, so you can get more drawer space for larger utensils. Having a drawer of loose utensils can be stressful *and* a safety hazard, so organize your full set of knives, forks, spoons, wine stoppers, etc. in a way that makes sense.

One tray fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery.

Promising review: "THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did!" —oceantiff

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

3. A set of space-saver bags for storing bulky clothing, bedding, or towels by vacuuming all the air in side to minimize their size, so you can slide them out of sight and out of mind until you need them!

Promising review: "First of all, when you see 'jumbo' in the title, you better believe these things are JUMBO! These bags of limitless storage can hold just about anything fabric that you need squishing down into a manageable block. I've used these for blankets, clothes, and precious keepsakes and I feel secure in the knowledge that they are all well-protected. The plastic is thick but not stiff, so you know it's good quality." —Kimball Household

4. A Shoe Slotz space saver to help you organize your massive shoe collection in a way that makes sense and allows your to see all your options at once. The white device neatly stacks shoes on top of each other, so they take up half the shelf space. Did I mention this method also means you'll have a less cluttered closet?

Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

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 can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have 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

5. A styling station that's designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh, so all your hot tools can safely end up where they belong after use and you don't have to worry about leaving your straightener on to cool down on your countertop. 😅

Promising review: "I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have bought this to store my certificates and valuable documents. Most of my documents are of letter size or a4 and few of them are a bit bigger. And luckily all of these are properly fit in the bag. The bag is strong and thick. I have tested it by pouring some water over it and it looks water resistant. The zip and lock is of good quality." —Ben

Promising review: "So nice! Even though it’s just two of us we struggle to keep things clean. I finally realized that it’s because we don’t have enough stuff that'll actually organize everything. This makes life sooo much easier for us! It keeps everything in the open but still organized. I have curly hair and have a TON of products. I also love baths and have a ton of stuff for that too (salts, bubbles, bombs, candles). I now can keep everything on here and it’s perfect access from the shower and the sink! Our bathroom is small and it’s perfect. Usually, my husband assembled but I did this time because I didn’t want to wait. Super easy! It’s not super sturdy but we haven’t had any issues. You might want to bolt to the wall though. But you don’t have to." —Amazon Customer

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde uses this organizer in her coat closet (pictured on the right), and here's what she has to say: "That's my coat closet pictured above, and using this to organize my and my husband's winter gear is so, so helpful. The clear pockets are great at helping you see exactly what you have stored, and basically you can just grab and go on your way out the door. It might just be the best under-$10 purchase I've ever made."

Promising review: "I recently downsized from a 3 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment and knew we’d have to be more creative with storage solutions. I decided to buy two of these organizers and turned my laundry room doors into awesome storage solutions for our shoes, reusable grocery bags, dog leashes, and more! The holes fit my women’s size 11 shoes fine, but they are a bit small for my husband’s size 15s. We do make it work but keep this in mind! I no longer have to look at a pile of shoes in my entryway. 😅" —Alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in six colors).

11. A set of drawer organizers that allow you to transform all that junk, makeup, or writing stuff just rolling around in your drawers into a much neater collection, so that everything has its proper, easy-to-find place.

The 16-piece set includes one large rectangle bin, two medium square bins, two medium rectangle bins, five small rectangle bins, and six small square bins.

Promising review: "Love this product. Tall enough to fit things, short enough to not block drawers when closing. Sturdy to put in all kinds of things. This round I used for makeup, toiletries, etc. Ordering more for junk drawer and crafts. Extremely versatile and practical and look good too. My husband loves the organization of our bathroom drawer and I love the fact if I need something I can take that piece out to where I need it and then bring it back nice and neat." —Jen

12. An under-sink rack if you've got a pedestal sink and no sort of cabinet or storage space underneath it. With this, you can still stock the things you need in a convenient place within reach!

Promising review: "This was the VERY accessory that I've been searching for to go under my bathroom basin. It fits perfectly under there and hides the drain pipe from view and adds extra shelving for things that are needed in the bathroom. Adds to the appearance of the bathroom, but at the same time conceals what I wanted to conceal from view." —Sue Vertrees

Get it from Amazon for $33.53.

13. A water bottle organizer to help you optimize your cabinet space — so now you can see all your water bottles at once — by cutting down on clutter and making use of all that vertical space collecting dust!

I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I’ve been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" —RT17

These cubes work as instant shelving, so you can store all your folded linens and clothes without sacrificing any hanging space. BTW, you should probably nab a step stool while you're at it to reach the top!

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

My sister swears by these planners, and she's a Capricorn, so you know she means business when it comes to being organized.

Promising review: "I love this list. Like many these days, I’m working virtually. It’s difficult having everything online, and I like having this tangible to-do list. Instead of randomly lurching from one overwhelming task to another, this to-do list lets me plan out each day and keeps me organized so I don’t get distracted. I start fresh each day (I actually wrote my list the night before — that way, I’m ready to go when I get up) so I don’t feel like I have tasks that never go away! I also love the spot to keep track of food and activities as that gives me a break to focus on something other than work. My favorite part is the very top ‘today I am grateful for.’ This helps me build gratitude into my day and appreciate all the wonderful people I have in my life." —Joy

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

Promising review: "I really like this clothing rack. I’m using it for clothes that I wear most often so they are easier to get to than digging through my closet of clothes I wear less often. It was easy to put together and directions were clear but I did need a second person to help me. I probably could have done it on my own but it was easier to have someone else hold up the pieces while I screwed in the hardware. It’s pretty sturdy on its own. I wouldn’t put anything super heavy on the top overhead shelf, but I have folded up clothes on the top shelf, like 20 sweaters/dresses/shirts hanging currently and two pairs of shoes on the bottom, and I don’t feel it rock when I pull clothes off. Seems durable as well; the metal bar the clothes hang on is thick and holds my heavy wooden hangers fine." —Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in 10 styles and four colors).

19. A tower of slide-out baskets, so you can access your kitchen, bathroom, or crafting supplies even if they're buried or out-of-reach in the back of the cabinet or closet.

Promising review: "This product was sooo easy to put together!! I recently moved into a new house and have way too many skincare products that I’m not using everyday as part of my routine. I needed a way to organize them and this was perfect and has the area underneath my sink looking so neat and organized! I fit my surplus of skincare, all my nail stuff, and some extra bath stuff all inside. I love it!!" —B

The dividers were simple to install and provided 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 $17.80+ (available in four sizes).

21. This brilliant shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo if you own so many clothes that no empty closet space shall prosper. Now, you can keep your sweaters and tops folded neatly away in the storage shelves *and* still have space to hang skirts, pants, and other items on the bottom rod!

Promising review: "I’m basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can’t speak to long term, but it’s amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house therefore 1940s tiny closets and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can’t see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that’s just half filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." —BobbyL

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t expect them to work as well as it sounds...but they absolutely work as well as they sound! Makes MUCH more room in my closet. I used for purses, jackets, tank tops, dresses and has been holding very well. When I need something, just push the others aside and raise up the one I need. Very pleased with my purchase!" —Dennis A. Evans

23. An over-the-sink wooden rack because sometimes your sink simply doesn't have enough counter space to hold everything (aka your soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, hand sanitzer, floss picks, etc.).

Promising reviews: "My makeup collection is not a mess anymore thanks to this product. All my makeup fits in there amazingly... My Urban Decay Naked palette could fit in it. I have four of them in the bottom drawer...I like that it comes with drawer lining that grips to the makeup so they are not moving around in there as you open and close drawers." —Shorouq

"Just perfect for what I needed. A ton of storage space, looks clean, tidy, classy. It was packaged well, everything came in great shape. I spent a lot of time looking at different cosmetic organizers, read many reviews, compared prices and I wasn't disappointed in my purchase one bit. Great value." —deidra

Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately, it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all of my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and in the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan

Promising review: "My first reaction was 'Why did I buy this?' because when I opened the box I wasn't too convinced by the way it looked. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neatly, and easily. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. It's a must-try! I am in love with how beautiful it leaves my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors).

Its adhesion is amazing, as you can tell we have it chock-full and it’s not once moved or came undone!!!! Gives our shower more space and way easier to keep clean now!! I’d highly recommend it!!! Also, please note we don’t have tile, so I’m unsure how it would hold up on different surfaces but they give you two adhesive strips so it gives you an opportunity to try on different areas.” —Mary

It has lots of space for my kids’ clothes that don’t hang, along with extra squares on top for socks, etc. I will be purchasing more for my own closet. It definitely saves space.

32.

Promising review: "Perfect! Exactly what I needed to organize my mop, broom, scoop, etc. Efficient and easy to use. A little hard to get my scoop into it but that’s cause it’s thicker than the rest of items. Love that there are hooks. Spray bottles and cleaning product bottles hang perfectly on there too." —Kavita Chandanie

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

33. Or a pair of snap-in broom holders if your space is seriously lacking in storage options, and you need to get a little creative. So, if your closet or pantry needs to hold more than coats and canned goods — or simply needs some organization help — here's a great solution!

Amazon

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Elizabeth Lilly, had to say: "I've been in my apartment for years and had all but resigned to having extremely disorganized cleaning supplies...that is 'til a whole bunch of them tumbled in an avalanche on top of me one day when I opened the closet. There's something about a broom handle smacking you square in the nose to serve as a wakeup call. I easily mounted both of these to a closet wall, where they now hold my broom and Swiffer. They do a good job *keeping* the grip on the handles when I inevitably bump into them. The cleaning tools may sway a little bit when bumped, but just a teensy bit. I cannot believe I waited so long to make the (v small) investment in these, but I'm glad that I finally did."

Get them from Amazon for $13.99.

34. A set of stackable corner shelves, so you can keep your favorite products within reach without cluttering your countertop to do it. If my sink had a corner, I'd get one of these stat, but I'm sure it'll also work on your dresser, desk, or bookshelf if you need the storage!

Promising review: "These are pretty nice shelves for sure. I like that they stack and are clear. I think they make the bathroom counter look clean and somewhat more organized. They are easy to sanitize so that is a plus. I would definitely recommend if you want something cheap but nice to help the clutter." —RJ2727

35. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers to help keep your pantry items fresh for longer, and stop you from confusing salt for sugar or realizing you have waaaaay more Basmati rice in your pantry than you should. It's great because an organized kitchen is the first step to cooking some incredible meals.

This set also includes reusable labels.

I have this set and TBH, I have another set in my Amazon cart, just waiting. I personally bought this to keep my food safe from vermin in my very small kitchen, but I've found that each of these containers is worth way more than what I paid. I use them for everything! I have a few in the freezer keeping cookies ready for reheating, several in the pantry with teas, rice, sugar, and cereal — and I've even used them to carry a large amount of dog food on the go! They are easy enough to clean in the sink, but also dishwasher-safe. Highly recommend!

Promising review: "I have tried other brands of containers for airtight storage but they are a hassle to clean. This system is fantastic for an airtight seal yet easy to clean. I like the variety of sizes, the cute labels, and the chalk marker. I will be ordering more!" —mds2006

36. A pill organizer if you're anything like me and forget to take your meds on time because you literally didn't bring them with you... Now, you can have more peace of mind while you travel thanks to this organizer designed with six small compartments and two large ones, so you can keep your pills, vitamins, and supplements on-hand when you need them.

Promising review: "I like this pill organizer a lot. I didn't know what to do with all three of these. But honestly, I am happy I got all three instead of the one. It's small, lightweight, and easy to stow away. I put one in my travel bag, one in my car (for allergy meds, Tylenol, etc.), and gave my Dad my last one for his travel bag. My only minor complaint is that the tabs on the smaller compartments are a little hard for me to open, and I have broken my nails trying to open them. But other than that, I am very happy with this. I also like that it comes with labels so you can label each compartment and know what is in it." —Brittney

37. A hanging boot organizer that'll help reduce the risk of creasing or scuffing your fave pair, and maybe even free up some of your forgotten floor space. Look! So much more room for activities and other storage!

Promising review: "Sometimes I'd waste time digging for the matching pair I was hoping to wear. I've been wanting to buy the Boot Butler, but was hesitant because of the price. After some time and frustration (especially with boot season approaching), I bought the Boot Butler for myself in October as an early Christmas gift. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! I loved it so much, I bought a second set a couple of months later and am now contemplating buying another. I love that my boots aren't in a pile anymore; that they are easy to find and see, and I don't have to shuffle huge plastic boot boxes around (an option I tried before and was not happy with)." —ZAR

38. A set of shelf bins to keep things organized, so you know exactly what's in your fridge, what needs to be eaten, and what needs to be tossed. Expiration dates are real, people!

The set includes: two wide drawers, two narrow drawers, one can dispenser drawer, and one egg drawer.

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for to clean up a cluttered fridge! My fruit and veggies normally get hidden behind bulkier items and spoil before found again, so it's also saving money by being a little more tidy! The containers are the perfect size to slide right onto each shelf and fit differently sized items nicely. I especially love the can holder, goodBYE soda boxes!!!!" —tiredbiscuit

39. A teabag organizer because all your teas are currently taking up a ridiculous amount of cabinet or pantry space in their half-full boxes, or worse, are scrambled in a random container. Each drawer is removable and fits 15 teabags, which means this can hold 90 teas total, and you won't have to wonder if you still have a few bags of your favorite Bigelow tea to drink.

Promising review: "This is the perfect addition to my new kitchen to get my many teas off the counter and out of sight, yet easily accessible. It’s sturdy plastic and fit exactly between the two trims on the inside of my cabinet. The back is flat so I purchased the 3M double-sided tape and voilà! The description says it holds 90 tea packets but it’s more suitable to 72, 12 in each of the six bins. My cabinet doors are 'self-closing' so there is no worry of the bins not staying in place." —2Bounders

40. A storage cabinet that no one needs to know about! This unique storage solution fits behind basically any door and can be used as an easy-access cabinet for medicine, accessories, crafting supplies — whatever you need!

Promising review: "This is a must-have for any small space. My bathroom has no medicine cabinet, just a mirror, and is pretty small, so storage is a huge deal. My girlfriend came across this item, so I figured I would give it a shot. I know it states it needs a two-person install, but I put this together and hung it in about an hour by myself with very minimal effort. This fits so much stuff, it really is amazing, and it does not impede any operation of the door. I can't fully explain how much I recommend this. I'm about to order the mirror version for my bedroom for colognes and little knick-knacks to declutter the countertops." —happy shaver

41. Orrrr an over-the-door basket system for anyone who's running out of places to store things but still has empty doors... Now, you can hang your daily must-haves in a place where you won't forget them and you won't need to reorganize your cabinet space to do it.

42. A folding car trunk organizer in case your trunk looks so bad you have your grocery drive-up orders placed in the backseat...(no, just me?) 🫣 This handy organizer is designed with large compartments and mesh side pockets, so you can organize your car essentials and actually use your trunk. Plus, Velcro straps help keep it secure and you can simply fold it up when not in use!

Promising review: "It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it’ll move when I drove but luckily there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of measure to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product! I wish I had it all along!" —Neese

43. A five-pan organizing rack that allows you to neatly stack your cookware, so you can grab your cast-iron skillet from the bottom without having to move a pile of four other pans out of the way to get to it. It's time to maximize storage space in your cabinets and declutter your stove top, so you can actually see *and* use it!

It also includes hardware in case you want to screw it into a fixed position!

Promising review: "This organizer works beautifully! No more cluttered cabinets! When I need a skillet, I pull one out in a matter of seconds versus digging through hazardously piled pans that my family carelessly threw back in after they were clean. I did not have any issues with any of my pans fitting in the slot, and even my extra large pan (used for sautéing large quantities of veggies) fit into the slot, but does stick out ever so slightly. The ONLY pan that does not fit into an actual slot is my deep pan skillet, the one I use for making stews. I was entirely expecting that and instead use the very top rack for it to sit on top of. So counting the top space, this rack fits UP to five skillets."—Ally
