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

Get it on Amazon for $8.99.

PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $10.79 too.

Each cap organizer can hold 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 scarfs too!!" —Tracy

Get it from Amazon for $6.39+ (available in four colors and two-packs).

Promising review: "Wow. This hatter is beautiful!!!! I can’t wait to show it off. Robyn was nothing but kind, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure my hatter arrived. Customer service was INCREDIBLE. Thank you, Robyn! Our apartment is now complete!" —sambelvin

Get it from Madhatters by Robyn on Etsy for $44+ (available in three size and multiple configurations).

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst-case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.

Get it from Amazon for $16.61+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did, because these beat a box of hangers hands down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about is which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tool for assembly. A great buy!" —KatieLee333

Get it from Amazon for $24.36.

Promising review: "Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" —Jaclyn

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based off the high ratings and they hold true." —Brad J. Leahy

Get it on Amazon for $24.97 (also available in bronze).

Snug Life is a Nevada-based small business that designs and handcrafts macrame home decor! Everything from placemats, shower curtains, hanging shelves, and more.

Promising review: "I love this produce basket! It’s natural, sturdy, well-made, and gives my kitchen a little more character. Fits lots of large onions and tomatoes on the bottom tier, a couple of bags of small potatoes in the second one, and eventually a little potted vine will go in the top. Use a toggle bolt to hang. The baskets are stretchy, too, due to the weave, so you can pack them full!" —Kelly Pate White

Get it from Amazon for $36.99.

Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

Promising review: "We are apartment living, so no one in the household could take a shower without crash/boom as you're knocking something down sitting on a shelf or the bathtub rim. This is a game changer. There are so many pockets with so much room in each I actually have space left over. My husband's back scrubber, my shampoo and haircare, my daughter's bubble baths, bath floofies, all fit with room to spare. And the pockets are all a nice height so I'm not crouching to find anything. The curtain is clear so I didn't have to change the 'pretty' one for decorative purposes. I am super pleased." —goodnite.graci

Get it from Amazon for $18.34+ (available in clear and gray).

Promising review: "These jars are so cool. The small ones look so cute on my white shelves in the bathroom. The soap dispenser is great. It not only looks cool, it works great. And the jar for your toothbrush and toothpaste is even cool looking and so useful. I highly recommend this set." —Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in two sizes and five finishes, including a stunning gold!).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing! I have much less clutter on my sink thanks to this. If there's anyone not sure if it will fit due to an object, all you need is 1.25 inches of space between the edge of your existing outlet plate and the piece of furniture. I have a GFCI with a standard wall plate." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors).

People also use this for storing those kinda-dirty-but-not-dirty-enough-to-wash-yet clothes you normally toss onto that chair (you know the one).

Promising reviews: "I was a little hesitant to spend this much on this product, but glad I did. Now, my tiny bedroom looks a little more polished because I have eliminated the not-quite-dirty-clothes pile-on-the-chair-or-floor, and instead have this stylish ladder where I can neatly hang my clothes...and it looks lovely. It literally took a little anxiety away." —Diane

Get it from Amazon for $63+ (available in two colors and also with a shoe rack).

Promising reviews: "Perfect fit and efficient use of my small kitchen space. This cart adds much needed countertop, drawer, and shelf storage. Looks great too!" —Patricia

Promising review: "Loved it so much I bought a second one immediately! Works great for circular pans, 9x13 cake pans, heavier pans, jelly roll pans, awkward collapsible colanders, cutting boards, whatever you want. Having nonskid feet is a big plus." —Organization Freak/Hobby Cook

Get it from Amazon for $13.29 (available in two sizes).

You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.

Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in three colors, a firmer version, and packs of four).

Promising review: "I am very pleased with these hangers! I first bought one to try it with my boyfriend’s pants and I loved them so I had to buy another one. The material of the part where you place the pants prevents any type of clothing from sliding off. Saves a lot of space on my closet and was easy to install, took me less than two minutes. The hangers come with the tool necessary and an extra piece that holds the rods in case you lose one. Overall very happy with the results, will buy again if I need more!" —Lizette Lopez

Get it from Amazon for $8.49.

PS: It has a handle, too! An essential if you love taking all of your color options with you.

Promising reviews: "I’ve tried a few polish organizers, but this one is easily the best. All polishes are easy to see and the case is easy to store. I’ll be buying another when I fill this one up!" —Katherine

"Item itself arrived cracked-free, love the translucent pink color. Now I can store my polishes in this perfect case and not have my husband yell at me for having my thousand nail polishes laying around in random areas of the house! Ha! No cons about this product at all! Love that it is double-sided! I can also store my brushes in the adjustable slots on the side. I will be purchasing another one for my mother-in-law as well!" —Kat C.

Get it from Amazon for $34.84+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

Promising reviews: "Loved getting my makeup organizer. What a difference now on my counter. It looks beautiful and I had room for all my storage needs.

Promising review: "This is great! Fits vertically in my small entryway, just what I was looking for. If you want a modern stylish clean-looking shoe rack with a small footprint, this is the perfect selection! It’s lightweight, so of course it’s not the sturdiest piece of furniture, but for storing five pairs of shoes, it’s great! It fits men's size 10 shoes perfectly." —Aaron Staley

Get it from Amazon for $61+ (available in two colors and widths).

Promising review: "I love how large and substantial these hooks are. They definitely feel high quality and are super easy to install. I was able to screw them directly into a stud on my wall and know they’ll be able to hold a lot of weight. I used them to hang some baskets which will store my incoming mail." —Evelyn Vang

This set comes with to-go sauce cups, too!

The glass is nice and thick, and if you are clumsy, no worries, hasn’t broken yet even though I drop it all the time! Nice deep sections allow for a LOT of food!" —Danielle

Pro tip💡: Add some cork lining to the shelves to make it just a little more stylish than a typical metal shelving unit. I've done this in my own home, and trust me, it makes all the difference!

Promising reviews: "I was able to put it together myself in less than 15 minutes. It’s great because I can change the sizes of the different levels anytime. I liked it so much I want to order a second one. Great buy." —CaitLG90

I use it in my kitchen pantry where I organize all of my food and bulk items, as well as one in my husbands storage room for his work equipment. I love how strong and sturdy these things are. Just amazed at the difference it has made in my life" —Mark

Get it from Amazon for $37.96+ (available in two styles, two colors, and with 3-5 shelves).

Promising review: "Before I bought these zipper bags my closet was full, I had no room to move anything around. After these bags, I not only have more room, I was able to move all of my things from out of the hallway closet and into my bedroom!! I combined two closets in one, where I thought I had no room. Wow. You can easily have three pillows per bag, and I fit one extra-thick queen-size comforter into one bag. All things that didn't even fit in my closet beforehand. Now I have room for more!!" —Ms. Lawrence

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "After multiple attempts to organize my deep, narrow, hard to organize lower cabinet, where I keep pots and pans, I finally tried one of the Lynx sliding shelves. WHY didn’t I just buy this to begin with?! I have these awful half-shelves in the lower cabinets that don’t hold much and making organizing even more difficult. Reaching into these lower cabinets can be painful and maddening when you need one pan or pot, but you have to remove EVERYTHING, set them on the floor, grab the one item you need, and shove the stack back into the narrow and deep cabinet. THIS sliding shelf solves the problem!" —Mustang Sally

Get it from Amazon for $47.80+ (available in seven sizes).

FYI: These products do not come with screws.

Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in four finishes).

Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife
