    28 Storage Items To Take Advantage Of Vertical Space, Empty Walls, And Other Random Spots In Your Home

    Great news for anyone who wishes they could make storage space out of that itty-bitty space behind their bathroom door.

    1. A clear shower curtain with pockets that you can count on to store the vast number of shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and face washes you rotate through. Phew, your bathtub ledge needed a break.

    2. A macrame fruit hammock to free up some precious kitchen counter space while also giving your produce a cute little place to chill. Aw, it's like they're on vacation!

    Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $27.90+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).

    3. An over-the-door shoe organizer that makes excellent use of unused vertical space and gives you an excuse to pick up a few more pairs of shoes if you have a few empty pockets.

    4. A garment rack to help you out if you have the distinct misfortune of having a room without a closet *or* the great fortune of having too many great clothes to fit in your closet.

    5. A three-tiered shelf for maximizing counter space that would otherwise be hard to use. All your most-used oils, spices, and utensils just found their new favorite hangout.

    6. A deliciously retro storage locker from Mustard Made if you could use another closet lying around. Clothes, tools, linens, books, all that hobby stuff you have no place to store...all would look killer in this trendy unit, which by the way comes in 11 stunning colors. (Good luck picking.)

    7. A set of drawer organizers to transform your junk drawer into the most beautiful drawer in the land. Your bathroom, kitchen, and credenza drawers were wondering if you were ever gonna clean them up.

    8. A slim rolling storage tower so you can finally make use of extra space by your sink to house hair tools, special occasion cosmetics, and cleaning supplies.

    9. A vinyl rack that's essentially a piece of art unto itself. Love a combination storage solution, vinyl accessory, and sculpture.

    10. A pair of stackable water bottle organizers to proudly display all of your favorite bottles you've collected over the years, which are otherwise surprisingly difficult to find a place for.

    11. A shower caddy that's held up by super-strong adhesive strips so you can finally clear your products off the tub wall and store them in a nice, reachable place. That very specific "the shampoo bottle fell into the tub and it scared me" scream will never be heard again.

    12. An over-the-sink wooden rack to give yourself the gift of extra room to store extra cosmetics and bath products *or* make things fancy with a candle and some decor.

    13. An expandable spice rack so you can see and have easy access to every tasty flavor in your arsenal. Nothing more annoying than rooting around for curry powder at a crucial moment.

    14. A cabinet door organizer to keep cutting boards, plastic wrap, and plastic bags out of the way. That one weird skinny cabinet was just NOT working for you.

    15. A styling station so plug-in hair tools can have their own special place, instead of taking up all of your open under-the-cabinet space in one big ball.

    16. A pack of stacking shoe organizers that conveniently stack a pair in the space one shoe would normally take for maximum shelf utilization. You just found yourself an excuse to double your shoe collection, my friend.

    17. A set of space-saver bags for compressing bedding, pillows, off-season-clothes, or any other bulky linens into a much smaller, flatter, and more easily storable package. Basically magic.

    18. A tower of slide-out baskets so versatile you might as well get a few pairs now since you'll inevitably find a use for them in every room. From the pantry to the bathroom, everywhere could use an extra drawer or two.

    19. A storage cabinet that fits juuuuust so in that little spot behind your door for anyone who will not be satisfied until they can put "efficient to the max" on their resume.

    20. An over-the-door basket system for basically creating an extra bathroom closet out of thin air. Prepare to be suspected of witchcraft.

    21. A towel rack if a linen closet is what you lack. Wait, should I get out of the digital media game and be a poet...? Existential crisis unlocked.

    22. An under-sink rack for anyone whose gorgeous pedestal sink is unfortunately hindering their ability to store necessary toiletries.

    23. A simple wide stacking shelf you can use on closet floors and shelves alike so your lil' things can fit underneath it snugly and safely while your bigger things can chill up top.

    24. A mounted organizer made out of four mason jars whose Southern charm is undeniable. The cutest way by far to store toothbrushes, cosmetics, cutlery, and so much more.

    25. An adjustable rack for keeping pot lids and cookie sheets upright and at attention instead of crashing to the floor whenever you need them.

    26. A hexagonal toilet paper holder because it's hard to resist a fun piece of decor like this when it's actually useful to boot. Bye, weird tower of TP in the corner.

    27. A set of cascading closet organizers for anyone who has a "more is more" approach when it comes to their precious clothing collection. These will help you stave off a clothing purge for another year at LEAST.

    28. These stackable corner shelves so your vast skincare collection can finally have a place of honor in your bathroom instead of being stashed away unceremoniously.

    Now it's time to celebrate all this new storage space you now have!
