1. An ottoman for sneaky storage so you can tuck away your shoes if you're collection has outgrown your closet. It's also a comfy seat!
Promising review: "I can’t believe this was so inexpensive! It perfectly matches my couch and looks more expensive than it was. I like the shoe organizer inside. I put my off-season shoes in there and my Xbox controller and headset and remotes in there, and it freed up some closet space." —Tara
Get it from Amazon for $74.55+ (available in 11 colors).
2. A garment rack if you don't want to hide your latest fashion finds. This is an easy way to store and display your clothing if you've run out of room in your closet. It also has a shelf on the bottom — perfect for shoes or purses!
Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this product! I was looking for a bigger clothing rack as I have a lot of clothes and no closet space. This one is longer and bigger than all of the other ones I looked at. It was super easy to put together. I had never assembled anything by myself before but all I needed was a screwdriver to put this together by myself. I have had this rack now for about six months and it is holding up so well! I have a ton of clothes on it — including lots of heavy sweaters — and it is super sturdy!" —LRV27
Get it from Amazon for $39.87 (available in two colors).
3. A standing mirror to discreetly organize your overflowing jewelry and accessories collection. This lockable cabinet has velvet lining and six LED lights. I mean where was this when I was a Claire's-obsessed tween?!
Promising review: "This is great for getting organized! My necklaces no longer are piled together or hanging on several different jewelry holders. This has saved me so much space from the holders and multiple jewelry boxes. It really just looks like a mirror stand instead of a jewelry box. I also love that it locks." —K. Patrick
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two finishes).
4. A closet hanger that folds into the wall so you'll have way less clutter. It holds up to 12 hangers and stores your clothing more compactly. Just hang and fold for a space-saving hack you'll wish you'd known about sooner.
Promising review: "I had one of these in my other home in the laundry closet. Loved it and the fact it folds back to the wall when not in use. Not shabbily made. Grateful to be able to order another one without having to go into some brick and mortar store. Highly recommend for any closet, bathroom to hang clothes to dry, or laundry room. I would give 10 stars if that option was available." —BullCityNana
Get it from Amazon for $10.93.
5. A coat rack and storage shelf so you can hang your purses and coats in style. You'll be able to clear up some space in your closet and display some of your recent fashion finds.
Promising review: "It’s a great fit in my small house! It’s lightweight and I was able to put it together by myself with the tool that was supplied. Fits lots of shoes and coats. I don’t have it mounted to the wall since we aren’t allowed to put holes in them, and it still holds up well!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $72.99+ (available in four styles and two sizes).
6. A storage bed that lifts up to reveal a ton of storage for bulky items. You can store blankets, pillows, and more so you'll save closet space for more important things like any new shoes you now have space for. Bonus: if you live in a small apartment, you don't have to worry about trying to pull open drawers in tight spaces!
Promising review: "Absolutely great!! Huge storage compartment. Beautiful bed, easy to keep the room clutter free — especially when you have a teenage boy. Easy to open and close, and even easier to make the bed when it's open/up. Great material, fairly simple to put together (MUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS). Definitely worth EVERY PENNY!!" —Nandab22
Get it from Ikea for $659+ (available in sizes full/double and queen; and two finishes).
7. A hanging double closet rod if you're like Carrie Bradshaw, and you like your money where you can see it — hanging in your closet. You can use all the vertical space that wasn't being used anyway. It practically doubles your closet space. Bonus: if you have a little fashionista like I do, they'll be able to reach their clothes so they can pick outfits for themselves!
Promising review: "This is sturdy and lightweight. This closet rod doubled my available space in seconds. There is plenty of space on the top rod for longer shirts and tops and shorter ones fit perfectly on the lower rod without touching the floor. Plus, hangers stay in place and don't slide to one end or the other based on how heavy items are, and so far the rod hasn't sagged or bowed at all. And I have all my sweatshirts and heavy fleece jackets on the bottom rod. Space will obviously depend on the height of the closet rod you hang this from, but I would highly recommend this for anyone with need of more closet space!!" —CCBunE
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
8. A set of space-saving hangers that'll instantly clear up space in your closet. Instead of placing hangers horizontally, these collapse to compress hangers vertically. You'll have so much more room in your closet you won't even know what to do with it. Okay, TBH you'll be tempted to go shopping!
Promising review: "Absolutely great product. I have five of my heavy coats on one hanger and IT'S NOT EVEN BOWING!!! Incredible! Just plastic but works great! I'm so tired of rooting through my closet! This saves me so much time and energy." —Kelsey
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $9.99.

9. A set of durable hoodie hangers, if you'd like to avoid a sea of hoodies on the bottom of your closet (because same). These hooks are here to save the day. Hoodies are so complicated to hang up and take up way too much space on shelves, but these hangers will keep them in place and save closet space.
Venalli is a small business based in Overland Park, Kansas, that designs these unique hooks as well as original hoodies.
Promising review: "These are so awesome! My teenager has a habit of breaking regular hangers when getting their hoodies off of them, so I wanted to try these out. Only bought a set of five, but I will definitely be buying more when it gets closer to winter. Great quality and such a unique design, these are just perfect!" —chuutena
Get a pack of five from Venalli on Etsy for $18.86+ (available in four colors, also available in a pack of 10).
10. A set of vacuum storage bags, duh! When I need to make more room in my closet, these always come in clutch. You can easily store last season's wardrobe in these storage bags that shrink when you suck the air out with a vacuum. Now you'll have more space for new pieces. Just look how a pile of clothes transformed into a neat, less bulky stack. BTW, they have over 60,000 5-star ratings and reviews say they save a lot of space.
Promising review: "I bought these for storing extra linens, blankets, and pillows. I thought I needed 10 for everything but only needed five because of the amount these hold. It gave me a lot of closet space back!" —Janet Foster Goodwill
Get a jumbo six-pack from Amazon for $39.99 (available in various sizes and pack quantities).

11. A cap organizer that can finally get your growing collection in order! BTW this can also be used for other hats like beanies. And this organizer stores hats so they take up less room — it holds 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 onto a hanger. Simply 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 even 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 $7.29+ (also available in five colors and various pack sizes).
12. A pack of two adjustable under-the-bed organizers to utilize space that was just collecting dust bunnies anyway. You can store bulky items so you'll clear up space for your new additions.
Promising review: "These storage bins saved my marriage! I was finally able to organize all the T-shirts my husband refuses to get rid of from 20+ years of beer league sports, 5Ks, and other events. The clear tops are a plus, so he can SEE what shirts are in there. Heaven forbid he have to move something to see anything! We were getting pretty close to filing papers over his enormous amount of clutter, but these storage containers have organized not only the mess, but our hearts." —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
13. A bundle of five cedar scarf hangers that will organize your scarves and make your closet smell amazing. These allow for more compact storage because each hanger holds up to seven items!
This set includes two cedar sachets for fragrance.
Graham Wood Works is a small woodworking business in North Carolina crafting unique storage options to keep your home organized and beautiful.
Promising review: "I wish I bought these sooner! They are beautiful and my scarves are no longer shoved in a bin and I am now wearing all of them instead of just what’s on top. Love the extra bags of cedar and have them in every closet. Thank you!" —yellflower
Get it from Graham Wood Works on Etsy for $72.50.
14. A storage bench for a sneaky way to clear up clutter in your closet. This can store shoes, blankets, or anything that just won't fit in your closet. Bonus: now you'll have a luxe bench to sit on when you put on your shoes.
Promising review: "This bench is a wonderful addition to the house decor, and a very practical one as well. It makes the hallway look clean and well-organized. We got two of them to fit our hallway and the space under our windows. We use one of them to store some board games, and the other one for shoes that we wear daily. This bench is comfortable to sit on while putting your shoes on, and it feels sturdy, too. We get a lot of compliments on these benches. Great purchase!" —ASL
Get it from Amazon for $199.95 (available in four colors).
15. A hanging handbag organizer to help you get all of your purses organized and in order so you'll rotate them more often instead of using the same one you've been using for years (okay, I'm talking to myself. I need this). This organizer is a great alternative to placing your purses side-by-side on shelves, which takes up so much room. Now, you'll have space for more storage.
16. A set of stainless-steel S-shaped hangers for a smart and compact way to store your pants instead of folding and stuffing them in your drawer or stacking them on shelves. IDK about you, but I have trouble finding my fave jeans, and end up buying the same styles over and over. That ends with a set of these. And it'll save a bunch of space.
Promising review: "A strong and durable hanger. These look like they will last for a while. I was looking for a way to save closet space and to make storing pants better, and this is it! Also useful for color organizing." —Taylor Richardson
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $18.99.
17. A set of six over-the-door shelves to store all your accessories or smaller items. This if perf for gloves, hats, scarves and even makeup. It's like having an extra closet but on your door.
Promising review: "I am so happy I found this little gem of a product. I got one for myself and one for a friend who I was helping get organized. The little pockets are great and hold more than you think they will. I love that the front of the pockets is a clear view so you can see everything that is in the pocket. The product is very sturdy and really super easy to put together and hang up on the doors." —MM1986
Get it from Amazon for $19.87 (available in seven colors).
18. A set of shoe slots because you'll be able to store your shoes on top of each other instead of side by side, which will cut the space they take up in half (more space for shoes? Does this mean more shoe shopping?).
Promising review: "I have always been a box gal, but when you no longer have space…THIS is the solution. I was hesitant to give these a try, now that I have had them in for a month I am sad I didn’t do this sooner. I can see my choices faster, making getting ready and out the door so much easier. I am buying another set to finish off my closet, again, wish I had done this sooner." —PawsDog
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $32.99 (available in three colors and and a 36-pack).
19. A set of shelf dividers so you can prevent all of your clothes from toppling over and create sections so you can utilize every inch of prime real estate in your closet.
They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels. The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick.
Promising review: "I love these! They fit snugly over my shelf so they don't shift or move around. I have a lot of handbags and it's been a mess on my closet shelf for the ones that are floppy. I have limited closet space in a small home so my choices of where/how to store them are limited. This was the perfect solution. I plan on buying more when I get around to re-arranging sweaters on shelves." —BarbraGenie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.04.
20. A hanging organizer tray for more vertical space to store smaller items like gloves, wallets, or scarves. Just dangle this below an existing shelf for double the storage. More space = more shopping!
21. An over-the-door shoe organizer so you can have extra space to store your flip-flops, flats, and sneakers. And reviewers say it stores much more than shoes. You can use this to hold hard-to-fold items like socks, underwear, and T-shirts. It's also great for cleaning supplies and toys.
Promising review: "This is good for students who live in dorms or small apartments. It fits in the small closet space. I would recommend it to all students. Perfect for 12 pairs of footwear." —Chinmayi Karmalkar
Get it from Amazon for $9.67 (available in five colors)
22. A honeycomb drawer organizer because it'll utilize drawer space and free up some room in your closet. But instead of just tossing things in a drawer and hoping for the best, this divider keeps things in order. You can keep socks, underwear, and ties neatly and compactly organized.
The dividers snap together to create the individual slots. Some reviewers said these can be easily cut to fit the exact measurements of your drawer.
Promising review: "I needed something to organize my socks, saw this, and thought it looked like it would work. I live in the Pacific NW where our winters aren't particularly frigid, but they ARE cold and damp, so I tend to wear a lot of wool or thicker acrylic knit socks. This is exactly what I needed. Size is super, and it's easy to put together once I figured out that the buttons are easier to get into the slots if you DON'T try to push them but instead rock them from side to side. Really, I couldn't be happier with these. Much better than I expected, and exactly what I need." —L. Mountford
Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in sets of two, four, or eight).
23. A circular hanger that can be used for so many things. It can hold hats, belts, scarves, purses, and more, and it frees up space because it can hold multiple things at once more compactly. So what I'm saying is it'll make some room for that new jacket you've been eyeing.
Promising review: "I was delighted with the versatility and capacity of the rolly hanger. It provided space-saving hanging that freed up two drawers. Well-made and easy to get the accessories that I wanted. It was not as useful with some belt buckles, like Ridgeway and cowboy-type buckles." —Michael H.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (also available in two- and three-packs).
You, totally ready for another shopping spree now that you have some extra room in your closet:
