    If The Thought Of Trying To Organize Your Living Space Overwhelms You, Let These 29 Products Help Make It Easier

    Organizing your home doesn't have to be a big, scary task. We promise.

    1. cutlery drawer organizer to help consolidate all of your forks, knives, and spoons into one fabulous little space-saving tool.

    Features cutlery icons for easy identification. They recommend to wash and dry this by hand!

    Promising review: "Yes, this little utensil tray is really that good! I went from using 12 inches of horizontal space in a lovely but huge wooden utensil tray to using about four inches (whatever the width of this godsend is). It stores my butter knives, steak knives, spoons, forks, and a slew of little teaspoons. I'd guess that the max capacity for each slot is about 10 pieces. For example, I fit four butter knives and four steak knives into the first/knife slot easily, with good wiggle room. This is such a great design. Using this tray opened up about half of my 18-inch-wide drawer, which allowed me to decompress the other drawers in my kitchen a bit. I highly recommend this item. It's worth every penny." —Kathleen Cooke

    Get it from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in three colors).

    2. A pack of vacuum bags that'll store clothing items you're not planning on wearing in a given season so there's less clutter in your closet! These don't create the same amount of bulk other storage bags would, so they're good to store under your bed!

    These bags are made with anti-microbial materials so you don't have to worry about things like mold, mildew, or bacteria building up. Plus, it comes with a free travel pump!

    Promising review: "This is a supreme product. The bags are made of thick, quality plastic. It is very easy to seal and to vacuum. I placed a dryer sheet in each sealed bag to keep the clothes smelling fresh. My closet looks so well organized, I have much more room and my winter clothes are stored safely and beautifully. I highly recommend this product." —A.A.

    Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in five sizes and packs of three, six, or 10).

    3. Coffee mug organizers especially great for anyone with limited kitchen storage space. Now you can cut in half the amount of room your mugs take up and use that extra bit of shelf for additional drinkware, a cool kitchen gadget, or more snacks!

    Comes in a pack of six so you can organize 12 mugs!

    Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl

    Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

    4. An outlet concealer kit complete with a power strip and an 8-foot cord because while you love all your super cool high-tech gadgets, you don't love that their cords stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the aesthetic of the room you place them in. Why can't everything just be WIRELESS?!

    Promising review: "I have an outlet above our mantel that’s meant for a wall-mounted TV. We have a large painting covering it. We wanted to use the plug to power two Wi-Fi speakers on the long mantle. The thinness of the plug is perfect behind the painting. The power strip is hidden by a mantle clock. So, we have our two speakers to either side and no visible wires. This product may not work for every application, but for us, it’s 10 stars." —Chashum

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in other styles/lengths).

    5. And if you're looking for a solution for smaller items like countertop kitchen gadgets (looking at you pressure cookers and stand mixers), these Command cord bundlers will help keep those wires nice and tidy rather than snaking across your surfaces. Reviewers also love these bundlers for hanging up string lights!

    Promising review: "I have one of these attached to almost every cord-having thing I own and for maybe $30 in total I feel like my whole life got a facelift. My stand mixer looks better on the counter and it stays clean even when everything else is a mess. My space heaters store so neatly in the linen closet. I have an HDMI cord bundled to the back of each TV. There's a bundler stuck between my car's dash and console which holds two phone chargers. Truly, especially for the price, I could not recommend something more highly." —Amber Stewart

    Get a pack of six bundlers and 12 strips from Amazon for $10.98.

    6. A desktop organizer to finally give all of the items on your desk like books, folders, writing utensils, decorative pieces, and more a tidy storage spot. Plus, this is a piece of decor in its own right so it'll make your work space really pop.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I needed some extra shelf space for my home office, especially now that we are working from home for the rest of the year. This was so, so simple to set up and holds everything I need without any issues. You can also assemble it as you please, which is a great feature!" —TanzA

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors).

    7. A Nespresso pod holder you can mount underneath a cabinet or on a wall — it'll keep your pods neat and orderly.

    Get it from Dr. Prints A Lot on Etsy for $10 (available in seven colors).

    8. A 24-pocket clear over-the-door organizer to store your shoes, jewelry, accessories, or cleaning supplies!

    Has 24 clear pockets and easily hangs onto most standard doors or closet rods without any additional hardware needed!

    Promising review: "Until I bought the shoe organizer, I always had a pile of shoes on my closet floor. I was so tired of the mess, I opened Amazon and looked for a solution. I was thrilled to find this 24-pocket shoe organizer because it is the perfect solution! As you can see, the sleeves are large enough to hold a pair of shoes. I could not be happier that my closet floor is clear of shoes! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a solution to clear the floor of their closet." —Laureen A. Vartanian

    Get it from Amazon for $9.77 (available in five colors).

    9. A honeycomb drawer organizer so when you open up your drawer to just casually get a pair of socks, you can just reach for them and not have to sift through a huge mess.

    the same reviewer's honeycomb organized now filled with neatly organized socks

    Promising review: "Best product I have bought yet! I even purchased three more for my hubby and his sock drawer. He saw how great mine looked and wanted to use it as well. I have never been organized before, and I love the fact I can SEE where everything is now! I don't have to dig to the bottom of the drawer to find things. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product!" —DaVincent

    Get it from Amazon for $14.10.

    10. A pan rack that will make grabbing a pan a lot easier than digging through a whole pile. 

    These contain eights dividers! Plus, they're adjustable so if you have a pan that's a bit bigger or a bit smaller, you can adjust accordingly!

    Promising review: "These are absolutely wonderful and exactly what we needed. Super customizable to fit your needs. I bought two and was able to fit a variety of pots, pans, lids, and even a steamer tray! I love how organized these made my cabinets. I hated having to stack and unstack everything every time I needed something or was putting things away. My lids were a nightmare in and of themselves. When purchasing keep in mind the amount of clearance. I couldn't use them on the bottom shelf because they added about an inch of height to my pans." —Chelsey K

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes and white or gray).

    11. And a bakeware rack for a less hectic way to grab the cookie sheet or muffin tin you need to make delicious sweet treats.

    This features seven adjustable dividers, and has soft nonslip feet to ensure everything stays in place!

    Promising review: "We have one kitchen drawer and very awkward cabinets in our apartment so organizing was an ever-changing and maddening puzzle. Frustrated with the challenge, I went online and came across this product, which originally seemed expensive. In my desperation, I decided to try it out anyway. I ended up loving it and bought three more at that price. I'm happy to recommend this product to others in the same situation. It's very sturdy and takes only seconds to set up!" —Elizabeth Giordano

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    12. A set of Shoe Slotz space saving units that'll have your collection of shoes going from an overwhelming messy pile of who knows what to basically resembling the aisles of a DSW because you'll *gasp* actually be able to see your shoes.

    Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed

    My colleague Sally Elshorafa swears by this for organizing shoes, here's what she has to say:

    "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." 

    Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $32.95.

    13. A super lovely and very useful corner shelf perfect if you're someone who is a little tight on room/wall space.

    Lyons Crafted / Etsy

    Lyons Crafted is a small business based in Ventura, California that sells handcrafted and customizable wooden shelves. Note that because each of these pieces is crafted specifically to your order specifications, it may look a little different than what is pictured!

    Promising review: "This was exactly what I was looking for! Mr. Lyons worked with me to get the exact measurements I needed. The workmanship was outstanding and the shelves were easy to hang. I chose to stain them myself to get a better match to my cabinets." —pmartin1002

    Get it from Lyons Crafted on Etsy for $100+ (available in seven finishes and various sizes).

    14. A pack of storage bins to keep the contents of your fridge and freezer more organized and easier to find. Every time you clean the inside, you promise to stay more organized next time around, and it just never happens. Not this time!

    Set includes two wide drawers (ideal for fruit, veggies, and other larger food items), two narrow drawers (ideal for snacks, condiments, and slimmer items), one can dispenser drawer (can hold up to 10 standard-sized cans, small-sizes food cans, juice boxes, and other drinks), and one egg drawers (can hold up to 14 eggs). These are BPA-free, and recommended to hand-wash with mild detergent and water.

    Promising review: "I liked the first one I bought so much, I bought another. It's nice to be able to find things in the refrigerator and be able to pull out the whole tray container to see what's in the back of the fridge. I don't know if this happens to you, but I find my way to the back every so often, and come to find out a jar in the back expired a year ago. Now I can see everything and use it. The only thing I didn't use were the egg containers, but a couple of friends were happy enough to take those off my hands." —BookBroke

    Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $37.49.

    15. An S-shaped hanger that'll provide the perfect solution for hanging pants, jeans, and even accessories or linens! I personally find hanging up jeans side by side on separate hangers takes up quite a bit of space. Well...kiss those days goodbye!

    These durable, stainless-steel hangers can hold about five garments each!

    Promising review: "My closet was a disaster area. I couldn’t find my pants, shirts, really anything. I’m so glad I bought this. The three hangers hold 15 pairs of pants total — that’s a lot less hangers! I have more space now." —Amanda L.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    16. Or Wonder Hangers for grouping certain garments together, which in turn makes it easier to find that sweater you know you own but can't seem to find no matter how many times you look.

    It comes with 10 hangers that can hold five garments each, 10 if you double them up!

    Promising review: "I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." —CAGH

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors and larger packs).

    17. And a clothing divider set to help arrange your closet in an orderly ~fashion~.

    YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that sells kitchen storage products!

    Promising review: "This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. 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

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available with two or three shelves).

    19. A makeup organizer that'll make a great spot to store your cosmetics, skincare products, brushes, sponges, and more. Now you won't have to dig through a messy makeup pouch just to find the lipstick color you want.

    AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed

    Promising review: "This nifty little organizer looks beautiful, can fit ALL of my everyday makeup, and (drumroll please) it keeps clutter at bay in my bathroom — which is extremely tiny, BTW.

    I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawer thing. Here are all the products that I currently have in there: 32 lipsticks, six blushes and bronzers, two large highlighter sticks, one foundation bottle, three concealers, two contouring sticks, two rollerball perfumes, two primers, and the bottom drawer contains so many lip pencils, eyeliners, and eyeshadow sticks that I actually didn't even bother counting (but I'm going to guess AT LEAST 30 of them, I swear).* If you have A TON OF MAKEUP (which I do), then you may still have to store some extra stuff in your bags — but either way, this container holds SO much.

    But the real winner winner chicken dinner here? I have easy access to all the makeup I use every single day and can see all of it at once. I don't have to dig around the bottomless pit that is one of my many, many makeup bags anymore — I just have to open and close a drawer." —AnaMaria Glavan

    Get it from Amazon for $18.75+ (available in two colors and two sizes).

    Promising review: "This is one of the favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! They are so customizable and allow you to cut them and shape them to any drawer size. I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for sure buy!" —momonono

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

    21. A storage box disguised as a set of books that'll hide unsightly old wires. You may also choose to use it to keep things like important documents, electronics, or jewelry out of reach when guests are over.

    Made with metal hooks that easily hang from closet rods or garment racks.

    Promising review: "I love this hanging closet organizer. We are using it in our nursery and it is the perfect size for our small closet. I have purchased products like this in the past that had very little structure to them and they sagged at the top, but this does not do that; it is very structured — it hangs exactly like in the picture. For a nursery, it is just what I was looking for. Highly recommend." —Chelsea C.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    23. hanging jewelry organizer to ensure your beautiful accessories are easy to find and kept in A+ condition.

    reviewer photo of organizer neatly holding various necklaces

    Features 32 clear vinyl pockets and 18 hook and loop closures.

    Promising review: "I have far too much jewelry. Because so much was gifted to me, I have a difficult time giving it away or donating it. I needed to find a better way to access it. This organizer has done just that. I hung it from a hook on my bathroom door. Everything is visible and easily accessible from there. I ordered two of the organizers, intending to gift one of them, but I found I needed both. The package was delivered on time in excellent condition." —Linda Jarrells

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).

    25. An adjustable rack to help keep all of your under-the-sink items accessible and orderly.

    Has an expandable rail and four adjustable height levels.

    Promising review: "I was super impressed with the quality of this item. It did not fit under my sink as I was hoping, but that was my fault as I didn’t measure before ordering. But what’s great about this item is that it is adjustable in many ways and I was still able to finagle it to meet my needs. You are able to adjust the height of the shelves to three different heights. And then it also adjusts in width to your precise needs." —staceym

    Get it from Amazon for $19.43 (available in three finishes).

    26. A can organizer so the next time you just want a bowl of soup for dinner, you won't have to sift through cans of vegetables, sauces, and beans just to find what you want.

    You can store up to 46 cans and jars of various sizes on this rack! It has six adjustable plastic dividers, and boasts sturdy-construction!

    Promising review: "We just moved into an apartment that has no pantry and limited cabinet space. I assembled this in two minutes, no tools required! I use it for my ziplock bags/foil/slow cooker liners as well! It works great as a multi-shelving unit. Two of my friends have seen this and have already bought one. Every house needs one of these!" —Annie

    Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in four finishes).

    27. monitor stand riser to keep your computer monitor elevated and away from desk clutter while providing some additional storage space for supplies and even slots for holding your phone and a drink.

    The weight capacity is 80 pounds, so yes, it is sturdy enough to support your monitor and MORE belongings!

    Promising review: "This monitor stand is AWESOME! I'm a person who likes lots of places to store things. Pockets, organizers, drawers, I have way too much crap, and way too many places to store it all. But this stand keeps my actual desktop really well organized. I got a few desk items on hand so that everything else can go in the drawer organizer I have, and my desk can be clean. It blends well with my natural-wood/weathered-oak desk. It also puts my monitor at a great height. I'm actually looking at the screen instead of up or down." —Victoria Horger

    Get it from Amazon for $14.84+ (available in three finishes).

    28. hanger stacker so you can keep unused hangers in one organized spot. When you DO need a hanger, you won't have to spend a million and one minutes untangling them.
