1An Over-The-Door Organizer With A Breathable Design
Sarah Schier, a professional organizer in Los Angeles & founder of Beautiful Life, calls this over-the-door organizer “a favorite for small spaces... I worked with a client whose apartment was short on closet space, so we used an over-the-door organizer for her shoes, freeing up floor space and keeping everything within easy reach. It was such a simple solution.” With four sturdy hooks, it’s strong enough to hold heavy items. You can buy it in nine colors.
2Clear Storage Bins A Pro Organizer Called “A Game-Changer”
According to Schier, this kitchen storage bin set is “a game-changer for pantries, closets, and even under-the-sink storage. Clear bins allow you to see exactly what's inside without having to rummage through everything... These are some of my go-to bins for pantries.” When you buy, you’ll receive six bins with integrated handles — enough to store and organize all your favorite snacks.
3A Popular Nonslip Lazy Susan Turntable Set For Supplies That Get Stuck In The Back
Instead of rummaging through your shelves, try this Lazy Susan turntable set. Products like this one are some of Schier’s “all-time favorite organizing tools because they make even the most awkward spaces functional and easy to navigate. Whether it’s a corner cabinet in the kitchen or a bathroom countertop, Lazy Susans allows you to access items without having to dig through everything.” Their nonslip bases hold them securely in place. Schier isn’t the only fan, as these have racked up an impressive overall score of 4.8 out of five stars.
4Magnetic Tape To Secure Your Tools While You Tinker Away
When it comes to home improvement, this roll of magnetic tape is a must-have. Maria Anderson, a cleaning and organizing expert at Henfield Storage, says it’s “ideal for cleaning out cluttered kitchens and workspaces because [it keeps] metal utensils or tools secure while setting aside precious drawer space." It can also help you magnetize artwork or anything else you’d want to display on the fridge.
5A Foldable Rolling Cart With 3 Tiers
“Another [favorite] is a multi-tiered storage rack that elevates items off surfaces; it creates a sleek look while making the most of vertical space,” Anderson says. Since you can fold this one down, it’s easy to store when it’s not in use. Its three tiers can hold books, flowers, or other miscellaneous items. With a 60-pound weight capacity, it’s built to last.
6A Fridge Turntable That Helps You Cut Down On Food Waste & Save Money
Brian Davis, a home organizer and interior expert at Handy Rubbish, is also a fan of turntables and lazy Susans, saying, "Most people think turntables are just for the cabinets but adding one to your fridge shelf is truly a game changer. Place condiments and jams on it or even prepped veggies and just a simple spin brings it all in front of you.” This particular turntable requires no assembly or installation, meaning you can use it immediately. It’ll also save you money down the road. “This neat hack helps to avoid wastage of food since nothing is hidden at the back to be wasted, everything is at a glance,” Davis adds.
7A Small & Lightweight Cordless Vacuum With Lots Of Attachments
"This might sound basic,” says Davis, “but a small cordless vacuum with attachments is an organizer‘s secret weapon. I use it to remove crumbs in drawers, dust in window sill tracks, and debris in tight spaces.” On a full charge, this cordless vacuum lasts up to four hours. Weighing in at under two pounds, it’s lightweight enough for anyone in your household to use — and as Davis advises, it has plenty of attachments to reach anywhere you need.
8Easy-To-Install Magnetic Knife Strips That Are Also Great For Your Garage
According to Davis, “These handy magnetic knife strips are not only for kitchens. Stick one on the wall of your utility room and you can keep metal objects such as screwdrivers, scissors, and even flashlights within sight.” Each strip in this set is 10 inches long and made with powerful magnets that hold your stuff in place.

Handles on both sides give you easy access to your stuff.
10Wicker Baskets For A Flawless Finishing Touch In Any Room
"These lovely hyacinth bins are great to bring together a room or use as decor that serves as storage as well,” says McCann.

Each order comes with three boxes, and you can also buy them in white or turquoise.
12Slim Notched Hangers With A Velvet Cover That Can Secure Up To 10 Pounds
“Using these slim hangers saves space and creates a more organized closet,” says McCann, “because all clothing hangs at the same height and creates a cohesive, calming look.” Each hanger has a notch along with a nonslip velvet surface. This keeps your tank tops and spaghetti straps from slipping away. With strong metal cores, they’ll hold up to 10 pounds each.
13Closet Organizers That Give You Extra Space To Store Your Pants

“I have an under-the-sink organizer that is on wheels,” shared Fanaro. “Most people just throw all their stuff under the sink and it gets so messy and chemicals spill everywhere. I like this approach.” While this particular organizer slides to reveal your collection of supplies, it’s still quite similar to Fanaro’s, which allows you to “put things on both the upper and lower baskets and pull things out” without any strain.
