Promising review: "Bought this shelving to hold all my spices and have their labels visible. Holds everything securely, and the magnetic strength is exceptional. A very good buy." —evrhandyman Get a set of two from Amazon for $21.99 (available in several colors and in sets of four or six). Reviewers also use this on their washing machines, dryers, and metal doors. Promising review: "I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t like a lot of stuff on my countertops. This is just what I was looking for. It’s compact and a space saver. The magnet sticks really well. It doesn’t move when I tear off paper towels." —Latasha Jackson Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in black or white). You can also add a magnetic shelf to the top of your stove and store the spice jars there! Promising review: "Finally!!! We searched for a long time for spice jars that would hold a nice amount of spices. These are perfect! With a pour or sprinkle option, window to see the spice level, strong magnet, and space-saving square shape! We planned to just put our 'popular' spices in them, but we love them so much we are buying another set so we can have all our spices organized!!" —JT Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three pack sizes). This magnetic bar comes with mounting hardware and instructions to hang it up, and it is also compatible with Velcro or any kind of mounting tape. Btw, it's corrosion-, heat, and fire resistant, so you can mount it near the stove! Promising review: "I want to order another one!!! I wish I had thought to purchase one of these sooner. The magnet is strong and holds plenty of my everyday knives. I decided to put it on the side of my fridge, and it holds perfectly when you remove the back and stick directly on. I didn't need anything extra to hold it in place either. Now, I have more counter space." —RayJoni07 Get it from Amazon for $15.29 (available in six sizes and two styles). It comes with cup hooks for mounting, but you could always use Command hooks if that's your preference. macraYAYmacrame is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based shop that makes a variety of cool macrame accessories. Promising review: "Super quality, shipping was very quick. The piece is such a space saver and looks absolutely adorable. Functional and cute!" —Megan Johnson Get it from macraYAYmacrame on Etsy for $35. Promising review: "I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "These come with their hangers and will add considerable storage. I put one on the inside of our pantry door and the second on the back of the door going from the laundry room to the garage. I initially was interested in getting one for the pantry, but the second was a nice bonus, and it makes a great place to hold cleaning supplies. Well-made, excellent price." —Kimberlee This one will keep up to 48 pieces neatly arranged! And now, any time a guest says they need a fork, you won't have to jump up and say, "I'll get it!" while sprinting to your drawers to protect them from the horror. Promising review: "I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Magpie Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three sizes/styles). The necessary mounting hardware is included. Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. Strong and sturdy, compact for my small kitchen. Attached easily to the back of my pantry door. Very happy customer here." —Paul Get a set of two from Wayfair for $41.99 (originally $54.99; available in two sizes). It comes with two wide bins, two narrow bins, one can dispenser that can hold 10 standard 12-ounce cans or juice boxes, and one egg bin with a stackable lid that can hold 14 eggs. Promising review: "It's nice to be able to find things in the refrigerator and be able to pull out the whole tray container to see what's in the back of the fridge. I don't know if this happens to you, but I find my way to the back every so often, and come to find out a jar in the back expired a year ago. Now I can see everything and use it." —BookBroke Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $36.99 (also available as a set of eight). Promising review: "This space saver K-Cup is wonderful! It is attractive and keeps my counter clutter-free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." —christine h Fused Line is a Seattle-based small business that specializes in KitchenAid and coffee accessories. Promising review: "Such a nifty, lovely space-saving attachment! Got this for my sister, and she loves the aesthetic and how easy and practical it is to use." —GoldenTckt Get it from Fused Line on Etsy for $12 (available in three colors and as a screw-on or adhesive mount). Promising review: "Life-changing! No more tripping on brooms or items in our storage closet. No more cluttered look! These hold tightly to the handles of the brooms and mops even with many daily uses. I love the extra pegs to hang dusting cloths on, so everything is right there in one spot." —Kacy Mount Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in four colors and as a two-pack). FYI, the jars are sold in a set of two or three and come with their own magnetic rims and one stainless steel shelf plate. Vascito is a Michigan-based small biz that provides high-tech home storage and organization products. Promising review: "AMAZING! I love this product. The containers are good quality and the rims unscrew for easy cleaning. They really are tightly sealed and there is no need for a lid. The customer service was fab, providing personalized labels and the delivery was amazingly quick considering I'm in England!" —samhhawk99 Get it from Vascito on Etsy for $39.99+ (available in two sizes, two styles, and in sets of two or three). For added stability, you can secure the organizer to a fixed position by inserting a screw into the bottom screw hole (screw included!). 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). YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions. Promising review (for the lid organizer): "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have to play storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now, I can stack my lids in the organizer, and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf — I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product!" —Laura Get the lid organizer from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five sizes), the bakeware rack for $19.99, and the lid rack for $19.99. The lids snap together so everything is contained and organized. Promising review: "I love these because the large ones are large, and there is a wide range of sizes, but they don't take up very much room in storage. The color-coded lids and containers are awesome. I loved mine so much, I ordered a second set for myself and a set for my daughter. I do wish the lids were a bit tighter, but for my purposes, they are perfect." —Chelsyd It incudes two types of hooks so you can choose how to hang it. You get two stainless steel hooks for doors (these work for doors ranging in thickness from 1.37 to 1.97 inches) and two adhesive hooks for walls. Promising review: "We've been using this for a while now. Our bathroom layout is too narrow for a traditional hamper, but we wanted something near the shower. This can definitely hold a full load of laundry. The design makes it so it doesn't bulge out so much. It keeps its lay-flat design. The zipper is borderline genius. We put a laundry basket underneath and unzip to transfer the laundry. Nothing ever gets stuck since the zipper is the full length of the bottom. Even with a large load of laundry, the zipper is easy to slide. It has not pinched or got caught on any of our clothes. Helpful." —Leah Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors and as a two-pack). Promising review: "My job requires me to be on camera every day. To make things easier, I plan all the outfits for the week and hang them up using this over-the-door hanger. It fits five outfits nicely. It helps me keep organized, making my morning routine much easier. The hanger is very sturdy and can handle the weight of all the clothes hanging for a period of time. Great product." —LDM Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in two colors and two styles). EWart Woods is a small business based in Latvia that creates handmade organization and storage solutions that blend into your home decor. Promising review: "Really simple but effective. Would recommend for small bathrooms in need of storage. Like a piece of art. Thanks again!" —Noelle Get it from EWart Woods on Etsy for $85.35+ (originally $100.41+; available in two sizes and four colors). Promising review: "These are great storage cases. They are soft, not hard forms, but filling them creates the perfect form. I could even stack them. Handles strong, as well as zipper. I like the clear part of the case so I can easily see what's in each case. Now my closet is neat and organized. The smaller ones fit perfectly on my linen closet shelves. I will surely order other sizes - great storage option." —Tink120592 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five sizes and in sets of four). 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 $12.99+ (available in three colors and as a four-pack). Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items. Promising review: "This product is super easy to use; it was already assembled when I opened the package. All you have to do is loop it around your hanger and start clipping your hats in. Using this product opened up so much more space in my closet." —Maria Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available individually and in packs of three or four). Promising review: "LOVE THIS item! Plenty of compartments and super easy to assemble and store. I have it hanging in my closet and get plenty of compliments on it. Keeps all my stuff together, which is great because I recently downsized" —noelle_cecilia Promising review: "These hangers are amazing. They take up minimal space, are sturdy, and, best of all, the clothes don't fall down from them so it keeps everything looking neat. I have replaced all of the hangers in my closet with these hangers, and I couldn't be happier. I am pretty sure I now have double the amount of space. I love this product and would buy it again." —Vida Maars Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $16.19+ (available in seven colors and in larger multipacks). Promising review: "These Wonder hangers are WONDERful. My closet space has doubled, at least. I have ordered them for every closet in my home. I also recommended them to friends and family. I love them." —Nancy J Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $22.90 (available in five colors and as a 20-pack). This six-piece stackable set gets you two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins. And you can use them everywhere, from your work drawer to the bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom vanity. Promising review: I was really impressed with this product. So much that I am ordering another set. I can't believe the difference it made in my bathroom drawers. I'm gonna try it now for my office desk." —Ynafit Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $13.99 (also available as a 10- or 18-piece set). Each organizer holds 20 T-shirts (10 on each side), although some reviewers use it for leggings and gym clothes, too! The Roll Keeper is a Washington-based small biz established in 2018 that specializes in crafting and closet organization. Promising review: "I had seen this suggested for closet organization for so long, and I finally decided to try it. WOW. The amount of space that's been freed up in my dresser is amazing. Plus, I can finally see all those shirts I don't wear but can't get rid of for sentimental reasons. It's a genius product!" —Charlotte Get it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $19.99 (available in black or white elastic). Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home. Promising review: "[I] was so happy with this product, purchased a second set. Works great with mugs of all sizes. I was so excited about how much space was freed up, and the cabinet is now well organized." —Phyllis M. Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). This shelf is completely magnetic, so this is a great renter-friendly option to avoid using nails and drilling! Promising review: "Well made, looks great on my new stove. Very handy without having to reach and scramble for the most-used spices. Very pleased." —Vikki McGuire Get it from Amazon for $23.49 (available in five colors). Each shelf holds up to 15 pounds, and reviewers recommend putting your largest, heaviest books at the bottom of each shelf for more support. Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere Get a set of three small shelves from Amazon for $25.49 (also available in a larger size). This 24-piece set comes with reusable labels, a marker, *and* a measuring spoon set! Promising review: "No matter how many times I tried to make the package clutter in my pantry look nice, it wasn't happening. I tried the pop-top containers before, but things still got stale and were too expensive to do the entire pantry. This set was so affordable that I bought two of them and was able to finally get everything organized! I've had no issues with things getting stale, and my 4-year-old is now able to easily see, access, and open cereal or snacks when he wants to. Definitely recommend!" —Fisch Get a 24-piece set from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in three colors and various multipacks). BedShelfie is a POC-owned small business that focuses on space-saving minimalist nightstands. Promising review: "Love this shelf! We needed something for our kiddo’s trundle bed because a nightstand didn’t work in the space. It holds a full humidifier, a box of tissues, and a water bottle. Put it together in 5 minutes, probably less." —mktaz986 Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in more styles here). It has four mouthwash cups, five toothbrush slots, two toothpaste dispensers, a storage slot, and a dust cover. Promising review: "Every household with kids should have this thing, actually EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps; insert your favorite brand in the dispenser, and voila! Simply press your brush against the lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When it’s time to rinse, grab one of the four cups that are hidden in the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang brush, and shut lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." —Jen Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "Stuck several of these to the inside of a cabinet door and hung measuring spoons and metal measuring cups (which have a hole in the handle). Perfect!" —Carla B. Promising review: "This is hands-down one of the best makeup and organization-related purchases I have ever made. I bought this about two years ago, and it is still in perfect condition. I cleaned it today so I thought I would show y'all what can fit in there (pictured above). I use a shot glass for my eyeshadow brushes because it's easier to grab them. They fit in there, too, though, as well as the palette. I actually just ordered another one of these, with the three larger bottom drawers and am eagerly awaiting it!" —Cody D Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in seven colors/styles). Promising review: "This little product is such a cute addition to your office, room, studio, etc. I like the simplicity, and it looks so clean; it really adds some organization to my desk. I also really like the fact that you can detach the bottom portion and use it separately, so it's very versatile." —Brenda Gonzalez Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in white or pink). Promising review: "I needed some type of easy storage option to keep my space decluttered when working. I chose this one because it came with two drawers. One is big enough for my tablet and papers, and a small tray section in the front for easy-to-reach smaller things. The other drawer is for pens, highlighters, etc. (I keep a stapler in it, too.) It slides out fully and then DOWN so you have a 'cup'-style action. It's easy to get what you need without digging. These drawers were the perfect size and tone, the included mounting tape is SUPER STRONG (and you get twice as much as you need to install them), and even with a heavy stapler and when it's chock-full of some heavy things, the drawers have stayed attached and slide out smoothly with no issues. Great purchase for the value." —Chris It'll also give you easy access to your cutting boards, sheet pans, and food wrap without having to dig through the depths of your messy drawers. 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 $18.87 (also available as a two-pack). Promising review: “I put this in my kids’ shower, and it holds all their products and a few toys. The hooks are perfect for holding loofahs and keeping them dry. I’ve had it for several months, and the suction still seems pretty strong and secure." —Erin S.
