1. A giraffe-inspired upholstered bench and coat rack for a space-saving and unusually stylish entryway organizer. Hosting a party at your apartment, and your bed not becoming a dumping ground for wet coats? Well, that’s reinvention!
Promising review: “I LOVE IT! It’s very cute and unique from other seated coat racks. I hate assembling anything, so I put it off for a few days in its box, but once I actually started, it wasn’t hard, surprisingly! I didn’t really need to look at the instructions since it’s pretty straightforward, besides which screws to use. Feels durable and steady.” —Nessa
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in two sizes and finishes).
2. An over-the-toilet storage cabinet, because perhaps you’ve been led to believe that ALL over-the-toilet storage solutions were hideous? Well, you’re in luck — this easy-on-the-eyes option is here to actually make your bathroom functional, chic, and smartly organized, thanks to its use of vertical space.
Promising review: “Really nice and cute. Super easy to put together. Cupboard doors open and close nicely. Honestly, it looks better than I thought it would, and I’d order another one for my other bathrooms if I didn’t already have a different one.” —ErikaH
Get it from Amazon for $124.99+ (available in four colors)
3. An eight-piece interlocking drawer organizer to turn that junk drawer into a treasure drawer. Ahhh, the sweet relief of seeing everything in its right place.
Promising review: “So I bought a lot of these!! They are awesome; they interlock and allow for different combinations of sizes and layouts. My drawers are finally organized, my OCD mind is at ease, and I can sleep better knowing that my toothbrush is not touching the cotton swab dispenser. Seriously, though, the sizes available in this package seem to fit most things, like a toothbrush, external hard drives, screws, and dog combs.” —Leo Light
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $8.99.
4. An organizer rack to store pans (both vertically and horizontally) in the cupboard, because why is it that the pan you need is *always* buried at the bottom of the pan pile?
Promising review: “This rack is perfect. I put my largest skillet on the bottom and the smallest at the top. I did not secure the rack with the screws that came with it, so I can easily move it if I rearrange my pots and pans area. Even without securing it to the cabinet, it works perfectly and doesn’t shift when I remove a pan. I also appreciate the color: Others I have seen are shiny silver, which I did not want. I will be buying another one of these for our cabin. I have already recommended this rack to friends.” —CustomerO
Get it from Amazon for $22.87 (available in three colors).
5. A clip-on basket for some additional storage inside a cupboard, pantry, or under a shelf. Mission: Leave no inch unutilized!
Ikea
Promising review: “Love these shelf baskets, they slide in very easily on my bookcase shelves, great for storing small items and great use of the space between the top of the shelf and the items underneath that might not all be tall, basically able to utilize a lot of dead space, would highly recommend.” —Connie
Get it from Ikea for $6.99+ (available in two sizes).
6. A hanging shower caddy, because you’ve been wronged by too many suction shelving systems in the past. This space-saving, two-shelf system is sturdy, mold-resistant, and easily mounts over your shower head or shower curtain rod using two (provided) mounting hooks.
Promising review: “LOVE this shower caddy! I could actually fit more stuff in it than in my previous one, partly because of how sturdy it is. It condensed everything from three to two levels, making my shower seem more spacious. I was able to add more bottles to it, which also made the tub area less cluttered. I’d definitely buy this again if I had to, and would probably get this as housewarming gifts for friends”—bakingbrowngirl
Get it from Amazon for $22.
7. A trash bag holder you’ll probably like better than the mountain of plastic accumulating inside your cabinets.
Promising review: “This garbage container is the most useful kitchen trash bag holder rack I have purchased. I don’t have much garbage because I recycle and compost. The things that do go into the garbage are enough to fill a plastic grocery bag.” —Master Gunny
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors).
8. A steel-mesh basket to give your fruits and vegetables that don’t need refrigeration a proper home. Or use it for some extra storage in the bedroom, bathroom, or office. Options, people!
Ikea
Promising review: “We moved into a much smaller home, and they’re just right for gloves and hats on a shelf above coats. They hold my loose pasta boxes/bags, bagged snacks, onions, and potatoes, all while looking fabulous but simple. They are sturdy and well-made — very pleased with this product!” —Mary
Get it from Ikea for $14.99 (available in four colors).
9. A splurge-worthy knife block drawer insert made of beautiful natural wood, because you keep stabbing yourself on the knives your roommate/partner/kid leaves haphazardly in the drawer. Drop it right in as is or — if you’re handy — simply use a saw to trim to a custom fit.
Promising review: “This knife block is one of the best items we bought for our new kitchen. It fits all our knives in a drawer, only 13″ wide. Easy to cut to size and excellent quality. Highly recommend!” — David L & Donna L.Gordon
Get it from Amazon for $138.99+ (available in maple and walnut).
10. A card-holding hedgehog that’ll give you the poke you need to get more organized with your pocket-sized scraps.
Amazon
Promising review: “I originally bought this little card holder for its cuteness, but it has become very useful. I also bought the armadillo card holder. Instead of using it for business cards, I have so far used it for mini Post-it Notes, which I constantly rely on for easy-access info. Before these card holders, all the overlapping Post-its lying on the table had left a sticky residue.” —Consumericious
Get it from Amazon for $5.60.
11. A set of loop hangers that’ll tidily organize your scarves, hijabs, belts, ties, or even leggings.
Promising review: “This is such a great way to store my scarves. I can fold them neatly and they are not wrinkled when I pull them out to wear them! I have used other types of scarf hangers and all my scarves ended up very wrinkled and disheveled looking.” —luvnlifevt
Get it from Amazon for $12.87.
12. A faux-leather storage bench, so you don’t have to make a decision between seating or storage.
Promising review: “I put these in my dining room to store my daughter’s toys and it made my dining room so neat and look like a dining room again” —Isabel Perez
Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
13. A washer-friendly sock organization system (equipped with clips and locks), because your least favorite part of doing laundry — hands down — is scavenging for lost mates.
Promising review: “If you’re tired of sorting and pairing socks, then you need this product. I ordered a set for me (one for clean socks and one for dirty socks). The socks stayed secured in and out of the wash cycle and dried well. Great idea for each family member, travelers, and kids going off to college. Can be used for more than just socks. Think scarves, gloves, etc.” —valueval
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
14. A high-quality chrome hanger stacker for when you realize, “hmm, maybe ignoring the massive pile in my closet isn’t the best use of space?”
Promising review: “I grew tired of throwing my empty hangers into a pile in my closet. They would get all tangled up and really frustrate the heck out of me every time I had to put away clothes! This hanger stacker seemed like an easy solution and boy, was I right! It assembles really easily (just two screws and an Allen wrench) and it is good at keeping my hangers organized. Buy one — you won’t regret it!” —Bubbles456
Get it from Amazon for $26.90.
15. An oak side table with a striking architectural design that’ll turn your storage into a stylish focal point — whether that’s along the back of your sofa or joined together with several side tables to create a low-profile media console.
16. A bamboo countertop corner shelf so you can finally take advantage of that perfectly good vertical space. Display some of your most-reached-for cooking supplies or aesthetically pleasing trinkets — consider this the end of cutting corners!
Ikea
Promising review: “Sturdy, looks nice, and fits perfectly between my countertop and cupboard. Fills in that dingy corner between the fridge and stove that never had anything but bottles and spice jars that I used to much to justify storing. Now not only are they properly in/on a thing, but more accessible, using the vertical space to increase free counter space AND letting the goods cover that gap beside the fridge.” —Nick
Get it from Ikea for $24.99.
17. A glass rack holder that’ll utilize the undersides of your cabinets to maximize storage space.
Promising review: “My cabinets are designed very weirdly, and don’t allow a lot of storage, so I was looking for an option for our wine glasses, and this was perfect! It makes our kitchen look fancy and utilizes some empty space between my counter and cabinets. It’s super easy to install, just be sure where you want to put them. After a few months with them, I wish I had thought out my placement away from our plugs!” —Lexy Gonzales
Get it from Amazon for $12.87+ (available in one-rail or three-rail styles).
18. A bamboo door hanger that you’ll love using to hang your bathrobe, bags, and clothes. And when it’s not in use? Well, you’ll have a stunning piece of door art to look at.
Ikea
Promising review: “Love this little thing! It’s very sturdy and, for extra sturdiness, has holes on top to secure it to the door. Really adds a beautiful touch of mid-century modern type of design. (Installing it also helped me to discover a huge gap around my door, lol).” —Stephanie
Get it from Ikea for $29.99.
19. A wooden storage platform bed, because maybe you’re ready to *finally* put all your storage-related qualms to rest this year.
Promising review: “I love this bed, I love this bed, I love it!!! This bed is not only beautifully designed but also solid and sturdy. Ample room for storage, like an incredible amount of storage. Doesn’t make noise or creak, I just love it!! The only note I will make to future buyers is that if you are not mechanically inclined, make sure you have someone who is to help you. The seller offers excellent customer support, instructions, and assembly videos. Be sure to read and follow the instructions, and you will have no trouble and will have completed it in 3-4 hours. Other than that, best purchase I’ve made for myself and will have for years to come!” —Jenni C.
Get it from Amazon for $589+ (available in Twin—King and three colors).
20. Or make do with the bed frame you already have and invest in some under-the-bed bamboo rolling storage boxes that look just as stylish.
Promising review: “Each container is spacious enough to hold a variety of items, from clothing and linens to toys and seasonal gear. The open design of the containers allows for efficient organization and easy visibility of contents. This is ideal for keeping your underbed space clutter-free and ensures that you can quickly find what you need without digging through piles.” —Ally HL
Get a set of two from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three sizes).
21. A shelving system that will teach you to stop cutting corners and utilize your room’s corners instead!
22. Nordic baskets with handles you can store odds and ends in. The best part: Each basket has a dry-erase label, so you’ll always know where everything is.
Get it from The Container Store for $7.99+/each (available in three sizes).
23. An Aurdal storage system from Ikea, which you can customize to the exact dimensions of your reach-in or walk-in closet. You are legally required to post a before-and-after reel.
Ikea
Get it from Ikea for $450+ (available in four colors/styles).
24. A high-rise organizer for your medicine cabinet because figuring out how to stack on top of narrow shelves can be a nightmare.
25. A mini storage chest made of birch plywood that reviewers love for arts and crafts supplies. But the world is your oyster when it comes to uses — not to mention, it can also be stained, painted, wallpapered, and customized to your exact liking.
Ikea
Promising review: “A wooden box with drawers? Yes! A now prized possession! Great looking and handy! Indescribably cool! Helped me organize hobby paints and clear out other containers! Such a grand find! Would be superb in a garage or hobby room, or a crafting desk!” —Michael
Get it from Ikea for $34.99+ (available in two sizes).
26. An odor-concealing, double-compartment laundry hamper to easily separate out by darks/lights, hand-wash/machine wash, or by member of the household.
Promising review: “I can’t believe I’m writing a review for a laundry basket, but I love it that much, so here I am. I purchased one at The Container Store that was $90, and once I got it home, it was ok, but I felt guilty for spending that much money on something you throw dirty clothes in. I’ve recently moved into a new condo where storage is a premium; however, the bathroom is pretty large, which is why I decided I needed something that was publicly presentable. The quality of this hamper goes way beyond the price. It’s attractive, stylish even, and very sturdy. I love it.” —Alan McGinnis
Get it from Amazon for $44.85.
27. Or a rolling wicker laundry basket cart, if you are prone to tossing clothes on your chair (or, worse, floor). Introducing a mobile (and dare I say, elegant) cart might be exactly what you need to eliminate the friction of getting your clothes from point A to point B.
Promising review: “I absolutely love this laundry basket! The color and quality are superb! I went back and forth about the price, but once it arrived, I was super glad that I made the purchase! It was a good size and already assembled! Way worth the money! I’m so happy with this item!” —Jessica
Get it on Amazon for $199.50.
28. An elegant oak cabinet with glass sliding doors to display all your finest objects, glassware, and tableware. Plus, the two included shelves can be moved to accommodate your specific storage needs!
Ikea
Promising review: “I am always a little nervous when glass is involved, but this cabinet was packaged very well, and the instructions were fairly straightforward. I managed it myself (built it in the same room I wanted to place it), but it definitely would have been easier with two people. I’m very pleased with the wood grain and the warm color. Very happy.” —Lana
Get it from Ikea for $390 (available in oak veneer or brown-stained oak veneer).
29. A minimalistic leaning ladder you can use to tastefully display all your beautiful and comfy throws, blankets, and accessories.
Promising review: “I’m one of those ‘I wore it once, and it’s not ready to wash yet’ people. This ladder is perfect for draping shirts instead of putting them in a pile. Such a simple idea. At first, it was awkward assembling it until I figured out to attach all the rungs on one side first; do not try to do one rung at a time on both sides. It’s lightweight and has good soft tips at the top and bottom. I love the black and the wooden rung at the top.” —amazed
Get it from Amazon for $88 (available in white and black).
30. An over-the-door organizer for easy snack access, so you can say you have this whole “tidying up” thing down to a science.
Promising review: “Great for organizing the pantry, craft rooms, and bathrooms. Finally have a way to keep all the junk off my counters. Pockets are huge, hooks leave a low profile (so no issue with scratching), and it seems very sturdy for holding all my junk so far (it’s mostly holding way too many hair products in my bathroom at the moment). Love that this is clear so you can see everything.” —Breanna
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.87.
