The set of four dividers can fit scarves, ties, underwear, bras, and socks as seen above.

Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." —M. Hanson

Promising review: "I wish I had taken the time to take a before and after pic because I have so much more room in there now than I did before. I found the cutest tops in there that I had completely forgotten about because my clothes were crammed in the closet so tightly. Most of the time, I felt like I had nothing to wear, LOL, and now, I know exactly what I have, and it's even organized by sleeve length and color. I would definitely buy again and actually plan to buy more for my husband and children to use as well." —Mariko Lamb

Securely attach the brackets to studs/ceiling joists and the shelving unit can hold up to 600 pounds of stuff. The elevation also ensures everything is safe in the event of a flood.

Promising review: "If you're wanting storage for your garage and have 10-foot or higher ceilings, this is the ticket. Installation is involved but I was able to do it as a one-man job. I used bungee cords to hold up one end of the shelf while installing the other. It took me a whole day to install but I was particular about its position and considered the constraints of surrounding space and aesthetics. This holds a total of 16 18-gallon totes... 16!!! It occupies otherwise unused space whereas standard shelving occupies valuable floor space. This is absolutely worth the money." —Amazon Customer

I have the 15-inch one and it fits in my standard-sized cabinet ~perfectly~ and allows me to see all of my spices so I don't have to rifle through them and make a mess every time I'm cooking. Ofc if spices are only part of your issue, it can also be used to hold extracts, canned veggies, sauces, etc.!

Promising review: "I added this item to my shopping list several weeks ago and I’m so glad I finally committed to buying it. As a vegetarian, I’ve found that I have to add double the spice just to get a real kick in the dishes I prepare. Not to mention, making sure that I have all the spices that I’m going to need while being quarantining/ social distancing. With that said, my spice cabinet was atrocious before I got these racks. And I am so happy to finally be able to grab my spices without knocking over the other ones and making even more of a mess. I didn’t know somethings so small and plain could bring me so much joy. Buy it now! You will not be disappointed." —Arie M.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors).

Each strip has five clips which fit most standard spice bottles (1.5 to 1.75 inches in diameter). The strips also come with pre-applied tape so all you have to do is peel and stick.

Promising review: "Love, love, love this! I have old narrow cabinets and not nearly enough of them so I desperately needed a new way to organize all my herbs and spices. Took a chance based on a list of cool new things and couldn't be more happy with this product! It came with 30 grippers for only $10. I didn't even have to screw them into my cabinets. If you follow the directions and let them cure 24 hours, the self-adhesive works great! I plan on buying a few sets for gifts!" —Brandi Y.

Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

The bags have handles on three sides so they're easy to fish out. They also have clear zippered tops which allow you to see what's inside at a glance.

Promising review: "Wow! These storage bags are even nicer than I expected. They seem sturdy and well made for storage of items that aren’t extremely heavy. Our winter home in Florida is tiny and being able to store extra bedding for guests under our bed is a must. These are perfect for the task. See-through tops enable quick identification of contents and double zippers work smoothly. Would definitely recommend." —KyFan

Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors).

Banda's Palette is a Kansas-based woodworking shop from Jaime, a parent of two who makes all sorts of specialized goods from lemonade stands to costume closets.

Get it from Banda's Palette on Amazon Handmade for $105 (they typically ship in three to five weeks).

I bought this about a year ago and I'm a little embarrassed about how often I think about it. For the first week we owned it, my boyfriend and I both commented daily on what a smart design it is, how much room it freed up in our drawer, and how we wished we knew about it sooner. If you — like me — are at that stage in your late 20s where practical, problem-solving products put a ridiculously wide smile on your face, I'm sure you'll love it.

Promising review: "Fits my drawer like a glove AND holds my set for 12! Heavy gauge plastic construction that does not give even when fully loaded. This has opened up so much more space in my drawer making it easier to find other serving pieces and the odd items in that drawer. Love it, highly recommend it. Before purchasing, measure your drawers to make sure it will fit. I love that it can lie parallel to the drawer front. I was concerned that my flatware would stick out too tall for my stock cabinetry drawer, but that is not a problem." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10.89.

Promising review: "This turned a mess of a cabinet into an organized cabinet. We use A LOT of spices and it was always a nightmare to find the right one. Now, I just spin to find what I want. It’s a nice height too and allows for different sized bottles to be placed on the racks. Overall, this is a good purchase to help with organization." —vegmom

Get it from Amazon for $14.37+ (available in 14 colors).

The set comes with two magnetic strips which can be arranged in three different positions. Each holds six bottles.

Promising review: "Works great in my fridge. Super strong and frees up space on the bottom. I only have an inch of clearance but it does allow me to slide things under it and I no longer deal with falling over bottles." —Raemi

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $29.99.

If you're trying to size up the stand vs. your collection, the manufacturer says it can hold roughly 60 makeup brushes and 30 products be it lipstick, nail polish, skincare, etc.

Promising review: "If you're like me and have a lot of face care and makeup, this is a MUST-have for your vanity, dresser, or restroom! I love it! It holds almost all my products, minus two bottles of lotion, but that's okay. My mom bought two for her stuff after I showed her mine. It's big enough for everything, yet compact. This is easily my favorite purchase on Amazon this year." —KdH

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

Elypro is a small business out of New York City making clever organization products for the home.

Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is, and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more, and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl

Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

The shelving unit is suitable for most cabinets as you can adjust the height to four different levels (2, 5, 9, and 13 inches tall) and expand the rail anywhere between 15 to 25 inches. Since the dimensions aren't one-size-fits-all, it also comes with three large panels and four small panels so you can adjust the shelves.

Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small; under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end so that's easy enough to do. It comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Jennifer Mowry

Get it from Amazon for $22.87+ (available in three finishes).

StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.

Check out a Tiktok of the StoveShelf in action.

Promising review: "There was no set up...Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in five finishes).

The organizer also has an automatic toothpaste dispenser, a storage drawer, and a multi-grid tray where you can put everything that doesn't fit in your medicine cabinet. The whole thing attaches to the wall via an adhesive sticker so you don't have to pull out any tools, either.

Promising review: "For the price, you really can't beat this product! I was afraid it might look cheap on my wall but it looked great in my black-and-white modern bathroom. My fiancé is thrilled that I now have a place to store all my hair ties and bobby pins so they aren't all over the counter, and it is the perfect tool for organizing your toothpaste and toothbrushes while freeing up space on your vanity. The toothpaste dispenser eliminates the mess I had to deal with before which is a huge bonus. Definitely recommend this product!" —alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and five styles).

Promising review: "Small but strong. It's a perfect addition for a small (usually messy) kitchen. Now I always know where the paper towels are. The top shelf is a great place to keep often-used items (honey, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, etc.), and the hooks at the bottom work well for small pot holders. The magnet holds well — I have not had any issues with the rack sliding down the side of my fridge. I think this is a great product." —C. A. Fuchs

Get it from Amazon for $25.

Built-in handles make the containers easy to move around and refill. If you could use even more clarity on what's where, you can add your own labels!

What's included: Five drawers and a dedicated 14-slot egg holder.

Promising review: "I love these things so much. I just got my first apartment with my boyfriend and it looked so messy in our little fridge and now it looks really appealing and everything is easy to get to. The quality of them is so good, I’m honestly impressed. They’re very sturdy and the egg holder is so cute and holds 14 eggs!" —Faith Sperry

Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in packs of 6 or 12 and in three colors).

Promising review: "This is a great space saver for a small bathroom and fits neatly under a pedestal sink. Easy to assemble, too." —diann smolnik

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (also available in black).

Promising review: "I love this versatile stool! It’s stylish, well-made, and extremely easy to assemble. When used for seating, it’s comfortable and sturdy; when used as an end table it adds such a fun design element for any space. The storage is also a bonus if you are living in small space like I am. I highly recommend!" —Melissa

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "Love this little shoe storage system. Fits 6+ pairs of shoes, and with 6 inches of depth it fits perfectly in tight spaces or behind doors. Really helped organize and clean up my front landing space of my townhouse. Came packaged fully assembled and included hardware. I ended up getting different drywall anchors from home depot because I didn't like the ones that came with the cabinet, but otherwise no issues." —Lauren "LaLa" Peacock

Get it from Amazon for $149.95+ (available in two sizes).

Superhero DIY is a Broomfield, Colorado-based shop with 3D-printed storage solutions as well as cosplay props, costume accessories, collectibles, and more.

Promising review: "These are so amazing! I had no idea they existed. I’ve been storing my attachments in the bowl, which has not only caused scratches in the stainless bowl over time, but the extra attachments would also be loose and taking up valuable space on my counter when I was baking and only using one attachment. It was annoying! This keeps them handy, but put away and I can select the attachment I need while the others stay put. So handy. Absolutely recommend!" —Marissa

Get a set of four from Superhero DIY for $8.68+ (available in nine colors).

The organizer has four slots and four hooks which can be used to hold all sorts of kitchen, bathroom, garage, and garden tools. Installation takes about five minutes and all it includes is drilling two holes for screws and then mounting the unit.

Promising review: "I was skeptical about this when I bought it; however, it is currently holding my ceiling duster, my broom and dustpan, my Swiffer mop, and my stick vacuum cleaner with zero problems. Not to mention the extra hooks for the small stuff. Great for a small apartment with very little storage space for cleaning materials! And so easy to use I do it all one handed." —Sabrina

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors).

PS: One reviewer even uses it for her child's leggings! So it's v versatile.

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure it would hold all my large blanket scarves but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." —Nikolette

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three finishes).

To install the shelf, simply remove your outlet's face plate, place the shelf, and then screw the plate back on with the included hardware. It should only take a few minutes at most.

Promising review: "This is a welcome addition for tiny bathrooms. Easy to install, a convenient and safe perch for electronics that may be charging. Love this!" —Cynthia Rrrr

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in packs of one, two, or four and in three colors).

Promising review: "Purchased for a small tile shower. Following the directions I let the adhesive brackets set overnight. Then I added the shelves to the brackets. Super strong! Holding multiple bottles of shower products. They look great, too. One great feature is being able to place them anywhere you like. Definitely 5 stars. Will be buying for other showers as well." —LP

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four finishes and packs of one or three).

The two-row dispenser holds 10 coffee pods while the three-row option holds 15.

Promising review: "I added these to an interior cabinet — I don’t have a lot of counter space and no where to dedicate a coffee bar so this was the easiest way for me to store pods without taking up a lot of room. The only downside is they don’t hold very many. Would like them offered in a few different lengths. Will be purchasing another set of three so I have other flavors for guests." —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).

The bundlers work like any other Command product — with damage-free adhesive.

Promising review: "I have one of these attached to almost every cord-having thing I own, and for maybe $30 in total I feel like my whole life got a face lift. My stand mixer looks better on the counter, and it stays clean even when everything else is a mess. My space heaters store so neatly in the linen closet. I have an HDMI cord bundled to the back of each TV. There's a bundler stuck between my car's dash and console, which holds two phone chargers. Truly, especially for the price, I could not recommend something more highly." —Amber Stewart

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $12.99.

The silicone organizer clings to most any bathroom surfaces so installation is really non-existent. Just stick it to your shower wall, mirror, or wherever else is convenient.

Promising review: "I'm one of those people who has an extreme amount of products in any given corner of the bathroom at all times. I use all of them, sparingly or in a rotation so I can't relocate them, however, keeping them organized and decent-looking is a challenge. I love the idea of these toiletry holders for their sleek look, but also for the fact that items can be kept off the tub/shower surfaces without damaging or altering the structure. After months of use, I still haven't had any issues. I clean it with dish soap every so often, but it's just as white as the day I got it! I keep a full tube of toothpaste, a couple of toothbrushes, a metal razor and a spare blade in it at all times, and I have yet to have a problem. I'm very happy with the product. I would love to see some options for the corners!" —Hannah Prime Member

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I love this stand! It’s so perfect for my coffee corner. I am able to get everything organized and utilize the space on my counter. The shelves are really sturdy and not wobbly at all. They easily support everything I want to put on each shelf." —McKenna's Mommy

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six finishes).

Storage Theory is a Cedar Rapids, Iowa–based small biz that specializes in all sorts of problem-solving goods. Their yogurt rack can hold up to four Greek yogurt containers, and it attaches to your fridge via included peel-and-stick adhesive strips.

Promising review: "I got this to hold Greek yogurts and Just Crack an Egg cups, and it works perfectly for that! It's a great way to utilize extra space that's normally just vacant. I love that I could support a small, local business too!" —Gabrielle Sherman

Get it from Storage Theory on Etsy for $12.99+ (available in packs of one or two).

FYI the curtain has nine mesh pockets which are able to hold items up to 1 pound each, so just don't go throwing a mega-size conditioner in there, okay?

Promising review: "This is the perfect solution for my tub/shower situation. We have no shelving, and showerhead racks tend to get rusty/caked with soap and have even fallen off. We've had this in the shower for three months now and it's great. It holds all our bottles, razors, and bars of soap." —Rachel B

Get it from Amazon for $18.47+ (available in two colors).

The wall-mounted hardware can hold up to 50 pounds and the cradles are coated in rubber so your bike won't get scratched up when putting it up or taking it down.

Promising review: "These are so perfect and great and they save a lot of space for you by using the wall instead of occupying space that you could use for something else and they're very reasonably priced. I got three of them and they came with their own screws. I've been hanging the bike for a month now and they are reliable." —El-Maz

Get it from Amazon for $10.08.

Promising review: "This is a terribly useful product because no can good companies have the decency to make their cans the same size with interlocking lids which means you either have to stack your vegetables one high, or play a precarious game of Jenga every time you reach for cream of chicken. Enter this thing. It uses the same footprint as the same amount of cans would, EXCEPT there is none of that precarious stacking so you don't get buried in an avalanche of pantry staples every time you make dinner. Plus, it really cleans up your pantry. Pretty inexpensive solution to a messy problem I had." —Mr.andMrs.Moreno
