    You *Shouldn’t* Buy These 35 Home Organization Products If You Love Living In Clutter

    If you need everything to have its own place, this post is for you.

    1. A cutlery organizer with stacked compartments for each set of utensils. Now you can easily reach for and grab a butter knife instead of having to search through a cluttered drawer.

    Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons, etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

    2. A floating mop and broom rack so the cleaning equipment piled together in the only empty corner you have available isn't creating a fire hazard. Install using screws or an adhesive sealant, and lift your brooms (and spirit) off the floor!

    Promising review: "This is very useful for my house. If you want to keep your supply closet organized, this is a good buy. I used to just have hooks to hang my Swiffers and other cleaning supplies. This product just made the whole appearance of my supply closet look neater. Good product for its price." —serena chung

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    3. A set of hoodie hangers if your entire collection has been taking up too much closet space, bruh. These convenient hangers were designed to make storing your hoodies less of a headache.

    If you're in need of hoodie hangers or purse holders, then small biz Venalli out in Kansas is the shop for you!

    Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these hoodie hangers!! I have a really small closet, but I find these hangers are a great way to save space! They also make it super easy to throw your hoodie up in a rush or grab it on the go. I will definitely be buying more." —Sara

    Get a five-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $22.45 (available in five colors).

    4. A pack of trendy, nonslip velvet hangers that take up less space in your closet, which means you can hang more in there. And they have swivel hooks, so you'll spend less time fighting your clothes and more time buying new ones.

    Promising review: "These hangers are beautiful and functional. I just love them! They hold my clothes on the hanger to an extent I didn't think was possible. I can hang some of my sweaters and they don't get pulled out of shape because the velvet grips the fabric and the garment's weight is more gently distributed. I can't explain what a difference these made in my closet. Everything from tank tops to skirts to sweaters hangs beautifully on these. I use them exclusively, I threw out all my old plastic hangers. The rose gold color of the hooks is beautiful and gleams gently, adding some eye-catching sophistication to my closet. I like for my room to be pretty and photogenic, and these fit right in. I highly recommend them." —Campfire30

    Get 50 hangers from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).

    5. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers because you've got six open boxes of rotini taking up way too much space in your pantry. Trust me, there's an easier (and more streamlined) way.

    Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problems." —R M

    Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in three colors).

    Promising review: "These dividers are made of sturdy acrylic and stand up straight on my closet shelves. Even with my handbags leaning against them, they do not bend over or lean. They are so easy to install a child could do it. Just follow the VERY simple instructions. If you wish to organize sweaters, purses, shirts, shoes, etc. these dividers will definitely do the the job!" —Bruce Spiess

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $28.99 (also available in packs of two).

    7. A few under-the-bed containers for storing clothes, blankets, towels, and whatever else is eating up all the space in your home. Simply pack it away in this sturdy and durable container and slide it under your bed or couch for easy access later.

    Promising review: "I LOVE these drawers. I went through two other options of the flimsy drawers that just collapse when you have items in them and everything spills out. These have a sturdy bottom and sturdy sides and keep all contents inside under the bed and nothing falls over or spills out when sliding." —Brooke PIgott

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

    Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (available in three colors).

    9. A lil' Keurig coffee pod organizer if half-empty boxes of pods are holding your pantry hostage.

    Promising review: “I bought two of these to store my various K-Cups in. Each drawer is long enough to hold 18 pods. I used each organizer to hold a particular flavor then cut the label of the box and placed it at the end, so I can easily identify what I want.” —Charlie Johnson 

    Get it from Amazon for $28.97.

    10. A two-tier under-the-sink organizer with a minimalist style that'll keep your cleaning supplies organized and out of sight.

And they are super easy to put together. I bought another one for under my kitchen sink as I have an r/o tank there and not much room. It also works fabulously there. If you are looking for storage, buy this!” —Kindle Customer

Really beautiful, smooth to the touch, and convenient to put keys, purses, some cute plants, etc. Holds tons of shoes. Totally worth the buy.” —Amazon Customer 

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in three colors).

    Promising review: “I was looking for a closet glow-up and these storage bins provided just that. They fold up and can be compactly stored when not in use. However, when opened they keep their shape and don't collapse. Also were surprisingly roomy. Not to mention they have a cute design that added cohesion to my closet. In my opinion, they were a bit pricey but I loved them so much I purchased two more four-packs to organize my hall closet. VERY PLEASED!” —Jill Kenny

    Promising review: "I was looking for something to organize my polygel and gel polish supplies and tools, and stumbled across this portable Makartt organizer. I decided to give it a try based on the positive reviews, and the reviews weren't wrong! This organizer is sturdy, and I'm amazed at how much it holds! If necessary, you can actually put two mini bottles of gel polish in each slot. The side compartment for tools is perfect for my drill, bits, files, alcohol wipes, cuticle pushers, clippers, etc. I love the easy-carry handle and the fact that it's transparent so I can see all my products at a glance. Also, a big plus is that it opens on both sides, with storage on each side for your polishes." —chanteleigh

    Promising review: “Great cart! I bought this to use as a coffee cart in the kitchen. The drawer holds filters and stirrers, the shelf accommodates large cans of coffee, and the cabinet holds enough sugar and creamer for an army. The hooks on the side even hold our favorite mugs.

    Oh Sew Design is a retiree-owned small business based in Florida making cute kitschy home products.

    Promising review: “Very cute and well made couch caddy. I purchased this for my mom who currently has four different remotes for her family room.

Overall, I am really pleased and would definitely order again.” —Michelle

    Promising review: "Confession: I've done battle with an unruly sock drawer for many years. This has been a personal battle, one I don't discuss during fancy dinner parties or top-secret business meetings. Nevertheless, it has been a burden I've shouldered far too long. I ordered a pair of these organizers in hopes of quickly bringing this struggle to an end. The build is good and they hold my dress/athletic socks perfectly (side note: if your socks don't fit the slots, it's probably because of how you fold them). After thinning the sock herd, I only needed one of the organizers! I mean, seriously...do I really need more than 24 pairs of socks?? My wife liked them so much she 'borrowed' the other one to use as a jewelry organizer. " —RoosterCogburn

It literally just leans against my wall and takes up very little space on the ground. It's been so nice being able to get my bike up and out of the way. Also, I think it looks cool. Everyone is always surprised when they first see it and they have to go touch it to believe it's so sturdy. The way it's made the bike actually is pulled towards the wall, so there is absolutely no chance of the stand tipping over.” —Mrs. Fischer
