BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-09-24 13:03

1. A storage strip to keep your brooms and mops off the floor and free up some much-needed space in your utility closet. It might even convince you to clean more, but no promises.

www.amazon.com

The strip contains five slots and six storage hooks.

Promising review: "Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage, and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down, I was able to fit them neatly in the holder. I liked it so much, I'm going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed." —Rob C.

Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in four colors, packs of two, and also with an extra small broom holder).

2. A spacious storage shelf that requires ZERO tools to install. Simply expand it to your desired size and get to stacking your towels and handbags on top or hanging your shirts from one of the sturdy stainless-steel rods.

Amazon

Promising review: "I had a lot of wasted space at the top of my narrow linen closet, and a deep shelf would not work. This shelf was the perfect solution. Now I can stack my less frequently used large towels at the top of the closet and still be able to access the shelf below. Strong and easy to install, and the shelf won't slip. Very happy to have found this shelf." —Mother of Cats

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in five sizes, two colors, and a two-pack).

3. A super-slim storage cart you can slide between your bed and desk so you'll have a spot to organize all your random supplies and snacks. It's small enough to fit into tight spaces, which means you can contain your clutter and keep it in easy reach at all times. Reviewers say it's also super easy to assemble since no tools are required!

Amazon

Promising review: "This has transformed the way my bathroom looks in the best way. I have nothing on my floor and top of my toilet anymore, and it really just makes everything look 10x cleaner!! I wish I would have bought this sooner, literally will do wonders for whatever it is you need to keep clean and organized. (Just make sure you’re getting the right size and you’ll be golden!!)" —Monika Fia

Get it from Amazon for $18.69 (available in five colors).

4. A hanging laundry hamper to get your clothes off the floor and create space for more storage shelves. It comes with two over-the-door hooks and two adhesive hooks, so you can hang it wherever you have a little extra wall space.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used this for my freshman year of college, living in a small dorm room with two people. This thing never fell off the wall once and it got pretty full sometimes. It's so convenient to carry to the laundry room and unzip the bottom for the clothes to all come out." —Grace

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors and also available in a two-pack).

5. A surprisingly sturdy folding ottoman — it looks like a cute piece of décor for kicking your feet up, but it's actually a secret spot for random knickknacks and blankets. Plus, the lid can flip over to transform it into a small side table!

Amazon

Promising review: "I got these for dog and cat toy chests as we have soooo many pet toys, and it was getting ridiculous how messy things always looked with toys everywhere. I bought three in beige, and now everything is neat and tidy. They are perfect for small rooms." —cdunn

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in three colors).

6. A retro acrylic beauty organizer that'll keep your must-haves completely dry and dust-free thanks to the two spacious drawers and covered compartment at the top. It even has a handle, so you can carry it to another room if the bathroom lighting is just not the vibe. Plus, having your cosmetics in one spot is so much more aesthetically pleasing than scattering them on the counter like you're currently doing. Actually, now I'm just talking to myself.

www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer had to say: "I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid. Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity!"

Promising review: "Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. I love how this organizes my beauty products so it’s not all out in the open on my counter anymore. The glass brush holder is the best part; it looks so expensive! Highly satisfied with this purchase!" —SGD1978

Get the set, which comes with the larger organizer and a smaller organizer for brushes, from Amazon for $48.99+ (also available without the brush organizer; available in four colors).

7. Or a spinning cosmetics organizer with adjustable shelves for all your everyday essentials that will instantly make you feel like a glamorous beauty influencer with an immaculate vanity. Mikayla Nogueira is quaking. Reviewers say this is super easy to piece together and holds up well over time.

www.amazon.com

The organizer comes with seven adjustable shelves and is divided into four sections.

Promising review: "I love this thing! My husband got me a new vanity for my birthday, so I ordered this to go with it. It holds all my makeup, and I put everything in order of when I use it, so I just spin it, use what I need, then spin it again. It makes my morning so much easier." —MB

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

8. A pack of thin velvet hangers to basically double your closet space and provide a much better grip on your clothes. These hangers have more than 182,000 fans, with many reviewers saying they're perfect for tank tops, sweaters, slacks, and anything else that tends to easily slip off of plastic ones.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." —ChristineSD

Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in nine colors and various pack sizes).

9. A bedside caddy you can slip between your bedframe and mattress — when you're dealing with a tiny bedroom, even the bed needs to pull its weight in the storage department. You'll now have a place to store your AirPods and remotes instead of letting them get tangled up in your sheets, and it's also perfect for tucking away your book once you're finally ready to put it down and get some sleep.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love this bedside pocket organizer. The outside pockets hold lots of things like phone, earbuds, charger, medicine. The large pocket is big enough for an iPad or book. I used this while at home recovering form an injury. Would definitely recommend." —Kaleb Booth

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors and five sizes).

10. Itty-bitty collapsible storage crates that are easily stackable and can hold anything from toiletries and hair accessories to art supplies and sauce packets. They also come in a variety of adorable hues so you can color-coordinate to your heart's desire.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). 

11. Over-the-door shelves for storing small accessories that are scattered all over your home. Actually, you might want one of these for every door in your home. Many reviewers use it to store socks, undergarments, and other clothing items, though it's also perfect for kitchen pantries and linen closets! I personally use one in my bathroom, and it's a game-changer for unlocking extra storage possibilities for skincare, haircare, and more.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am so happy I found this little gem of a product. I got one for myself and one for a friend who I was helping get organized. The little pockets are great and hold more than you think they will. I love that the front of the pockets is a clear view, so you can see everything that is in the pocket. The product is very sturdy and really super easy to put together and hang up on the doors." —MM1986

Get the six-shelf version from Amazon for $19.87+ (available in seven colors and a four-shelf version).

12. Or a set of over-the-door mesh pockets so you can wrangle up the stuffed animals that are currently covering every inch of your tiny tot's tiny bedroom. Reviewers also mention using it for clothing items, crafting supplies, and groceries, so even those of us without kids will have no trouble finding some clutter to store in here.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Awesome quality, and HUGE! I’ve wasted money on cheaper versions of this and now I know I won’t go back. Really sturdy, and holds more than you expect. Using in my sewing room for fabric, interfacing, and batting and it works like a charm. Going to order another one for my other closets because this was inspired me to use it everywhere." —Alexis Crumer

Get it from Amazon for $28.95+ (available in 11 colors).

13. A toothbrush holder because it's really time to level up to a Super Adult, which means no more spreading random things all over your bathroom sink. This even has extra space for toothpaste, hand soap, hair products, lotion, cotton rounds, or anything else you want to keep handy.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is exactly what I needed for my bathroom sink! It holds a couple of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and hand soap (which I ordered separately). I threw out the one I had that ended up getting yucky moldy stuff at the bottom. Now I have no worries. It's the simple things in life." —ChangingLeaves

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in two colors and two styles).

14. A set of storage boxes that neatly stack on top of each other — honestly, the secret to unlocking more storage space is optimizing any and all unused vertical space. They also have a transparent window so you can see exactly what's inside before pulling it down, or you can simply unzip said window and pull out what you need.

Amazon

Promising review: "These are the nicest storage bins/containers I've ever used... The inside has metal support pieces that you just pull out to make the structure of the container. I really like the zipper on top and the sides where you can access the contents both ways. The zippers are smooth and sturdy and there is a viewing window on each side where the handles are and a large clear window on the top with the zipper. These are large enough to hold blankets or comforters, and many others items of other sizes as needed. They look nice and are so well made, I can see these holding up very well for many years and I would reorder again." —Villagemom

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $23.48+ (available in eight sizes and five colors).

15. A sleek, space-saving leaning ladder if you're sick and tired of piles of blankets all over your house because there isn't a dedicated place to store them. It's also perfect for towels, shower accessories, and scarves. If you can hang it, it'll probably fit on here.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 $76+ (available in three colors). 

16. A set of rust-proof shelves that fit perfectly in the corner of your shower so you can finally stop sitting everything on the ledge and hoping it doesn't topple over — because, let's be honest, it always does. This one has racked up thousands of rave ratings thanks to its sturdy, spacious design. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the best corner shower caddy ever — and I have had several through the years. It fit together very easily. Shelves are quite large. I love the little horizontal 'railing' that keeps tall bottles from falling off. It is very sturdy and can hold quite a few large bottles." —Tracy R.

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).

17. Or a shower curtain liner with nine storage pockets for all of your toiletries, which is honestly GENIUS. Seriously, every single bit of storage space helps in a tiny bathroom.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This shower curtain was a genius idea to whoever invented it. The pockets are huge and you don't have to worry about them getting moldy or gross because they're like a mesh material. Super easy to install. Helped me save a lot of room on my shower floor lol. My sister and I both use this and it fits all of our stuff easily with room to spare. The quality is great and the bottom pockets can easily fit liter bottles of shampoo." —Leah

Get it from Amazon for $20.14.

18. A vertical shoe tower to transform that messy pile of sneakers by your door into a tidy eight-tier tower of footwear. The shelves are removable, so you can make some extra space for your rain boots, and it's slim enough to fit in that awkward, unused corner by your doorway — meaning you have no excuse not to put your shoes away the second you step inside.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is perfect for what we are looking for. It had to fit in a smaller space and served to stop a puddle of shoes from forming at the doorstep. I am glad that we have smaller feet/shoes, though, as the spaces are a bit narrow. There are only two larger spaces that would work for high-top shoes or heeled boots. All the other spaces fit flats or low sneakers well." —Sara C.

Get it from Amazon for $37.57+ (available in three colors and two sizes).

19. And a tiered storage unit so you can make use of that awkward floor space in your tiny closet. The top two shelves are perfect for your go-to shoes, and the bottom bins can keep your socks in a neatly contained pile, so it's basically a one-stop shop for your feet.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was actually surprised by how big the unit was. I'm used to ordering closet organizers and being disappointed by the size. This unit was perfect for my socks, T-shirts, and jeans with room left over. I actually went and ordered a second one for my crafting station for extra storage under my desk." —Christina

Get it from Amazon for $26.88.

20. A toilet paper stocker — now you can cleverly contain your TP stash instead of leaving it out in those half-empty, crinkly plastic bags. You can quickly grab a new roll from the opening at the bottom, and the top can used as a shelf to keep essentials close by. I've never seen a more perfect place to store Poo-Pourri.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I really love it. Living in a shoebox in NY, I constantly look for storage solutions. This design is incredible. It takes up so little footprint, fits perfectly between the toilet bowl and the wall, and is very functional. I hate having to go to the deli store to get a couple of rolls of toilet paper at a time. Now I can get 12 rolls at a time, though if you get the larger rolls, they won't come through the hole on the bottom. You will have to retrieve the larger rolls by removing the top, which is not a big deal. I put a wonderful Olavie diffuser and body scrub on the top, and it looks really nice. It's a must-have for any small apartment living!" —Ken H

Get it from Amazon for $68.

21. Or a bathroom storage tower so you can FINALLY make use of that weird space between the toilet and sink. This has a special slot for tissues and a surprisingly spacious cabinet for essentials like toilet paper, soap, and any other toiletries — so all your clutter will be contained and hidden away. 

Amazon

Promising review: “Was very easy to put together. About five to eight minutes total time. All of the pieces simply snap into place and then the screws are added to make it more stable with a firm feeling. Great for having in a small bathroom with no storage for extra TP and cleaning supplies. As pictured.” —Juan Garrido

Get it from Amazon for $25.10 (available in two colors).

22. A magnetic stove shelf if you're running low on counter space, or if the chaotic mix of spices in your cabinet is getting more and more difficult to navigate each day. This helps fill in the gap between the stove and the wall while adding a super sturdy place to fit your most-used seasonings and herbs.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The shelf installed in a snap. It has two sturdy magnets that hold it securely onto the slightly rounded back of my stove. I felt comfortable setting a full jar of honey on it, and I haven’t seen it move at all as I have been cooking. I have limited space in the kitchen, so I’m really happy to have an additional place to set things I need frequently. It doesn’t look like an add-on; it looks like part of the stove. I’m really happy with it!" —Sylvia J.

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

23. A set of matching desk accessories — nothing ruins productivity more than ridiculously distracting piles of pens, notebooks, and junk mail that's threatening to take over your small home office. Now you can actually focus on all your Zoom meetings instead of feeling overwhelmed by the chaos that is your desk. 

Amazon

Each set includes a pen cup, mail organizer caddy, paper tray, magazine holder, and sticky note holder.

Promising review: "I fell in love with this set the moment it came out of the box. It is sturdy, well-made and definitely worth the price. My living room is all pink and I just inherited my grandmothers writing desk so this fit in beautifully. I am a writer and like to make my writing space as inviting and lovely as possible. This desk set helps me keep my papers, mail, note pad, writing journals, and pens beautifully organized. Worth every cent." —MRS

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in six colors).

24. And a five-tier document tray because the giant pile of mail and notebooks on your desk is going to topple over at any minute. Each shelf glides out so you can easily see and reach your documents, so you might actually file your taxes way ahead of schedule next year.

Amazon

Promising review: "I use this in my office at work. It’s perfect for what I need it for, and I love the pink color!" —LeAnn Brantley

Get it from Amazon for $20.05+ (available in five colors). 

25. A hanging storage unit with pull-out drawers, so it's basically a dream come true if you don't have room for a full-size dresser. It comes with three large drawers for shirts, pajamas, and other larger items, while the two smaller drawers are perfect for socks and undergarments. There are also two empty spaces and three side pockets for any other random accessories that are in desperate need of their own spot.

Amazon

Promising review: "If you are looking for an alternative to a dresser/closet organizer system due to limited space or limited budget, this is a great product. It is easy to assemble. The drawers slide in and out easily. Has a good amount of storage space. It is secure with the velcro that holds to the closet rod, even with the clothing's weight. It is also a great value for the price." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three styles/sizes and two colors).

26. Or! A four-section closet organizer (it just hangs from your closet rod!) that will have you wondering why all hanging storage shelves don't have a garment rod at the bottom. Your closet is going to need all of the extra storage space it can get now that fall is upon us (hello, chunky sweaters!!).

Amazon

Promising review: "I’m a college student, so I don’t get much closet space. This saved me a lot of space considering I could hang my pants, skirts, and dresses and fold everything else. It’s sturdy, and I love it. I was scared to buy it at first because the picture makes the metal seem weak and flimsy, but it’s actually really strong." —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three colors and also in a two-shelf version).

27. An over-the-cabinet storage shelf so you'll always have an easy way to store your cutting boards and smaller pans instead of mindlessly throwing them in and hoping for the best. You can also mount it to your cabinet door if you want a sturdier, more permanent solution.

Amazon

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 $17.97 (also available in a two-pack).

28. And a set of Command spray bottle hangers to prevent your under-sink cabinet from becoming a pile of cleaning doom. Just stick these damage-free hooks on the back of your cabinet door so you can quickly grab the 409 when kitchen messes arise.

www.amazon.com

Check out aTikTok of the Command spray bottle hangers in action. 

Promising review: "Love these! They have helped organize all my products underneath my kitchen sink. The Command hooks are strong, and nothing has budged, even with the weight of the spray bottles! Highly recommend." —Talayfor87

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.48

29. A set of spice-gripper clips because that wild pile of spices on your countertop is getting absolutely out of control. Now you'll actually be able to see your spices, and they'll be in easy reach the second you open the cabinet door.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OMG, I love these things! Such a simple idea; how did I ever live without them? They hold all the different circumferences of spice bottles. If some spices are too big to place all in the same connected row, you can cut off a tab and separate them. It doesn't really affect the items on the shelves; you just have to push them back a little (maybe half an inch or so), so the spices have clearance when the door is shut." —Bridget D.

Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.97 (also available in sets of four in two colors).

30. A set of three floating shelves to give you more space for your random collectibles and cute décor you impulsively bought on your last Target run.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It comes with all the hardware needed to hang them, and you'll get a large, medium, and small size in each set.

Promising review: "Love love love, a million times, love! These shelves are EXACTLY what I was looking for to get rid of stuff all over my bathroom counter. I'm going to order like three more sets for all over my house. For easy install, mark where the screws sit on the side of the shelves and mark the top of where you want the shelf to sit on the wall and use a leveler! Super quick and easy!" —Amber P

Get it from Amazon for $10.87.

31. Game board storage cases, because whyyyyy are they so bulky?! And why do we all have that weird pile of them on a bottom shelf that's going to topple over at any moment?! These super slim cases will hold all the pieces for most standard board games, and they even have a helpful handle so you can carry them to game night with ease. Also, imagine slipping one of these in your carry-on for a game night on vacay!!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We loved these containers and have now bought 20 to hold our entire game closet! We have been able to fit multiple games in some. Easy to store and easy for my kids to find and then put away when finished. Good quality, haven't had any problems with durability yet, and we play a LOT of games." —bradfieldfamily

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in a notebook size). 

32. A surprisingly roomy bedside shelf that's big enough to fit a laptop, so it's perfect for anyone whose bedroom doubles as their home office. It can hold up to 20 pounds, so go ahead and fill it up with your favorite snacks and Stanley cup while you're at it.

Amazon

Promising review: "I was looking for something like this, and most were really expensive and small. I knew I wanted something large enough to fit my iPad, my iPhone, TV remotes, and a mug for when I drink tea. I also really like that this is plastic vs wood because if it ever gets wet or dirty for whatever reason, it’ll be easier to clean. The high edges are nice, too, to keep everything from sliding off the tray, also. It goes great with my Ikea bed as well. This table is also surprisingly sturdy. Like, it doesn’t budge at all once I attach it to the side of my bed. Installation was really easy, too. Took me less than a minute. I highly recommend this table!" —Jess

Get it from Amazon for $59.99.

33. An over-the-door rack with nine hooks that can hold basically any and everything you need, from the belt that ends up in various places every time you take it off to the cross-body bag that always gets lost on your shelf.

Amazon

Promising review: "My daughter uses this in her college dorm room. Perfect space-saver with all of the hooks to keep things out of the way! She hooked it over the end of her bed. Works great!" —EML

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors with various numbers of hooks).

34. A styling station — because having heat tools spread all over your sink and spilling out of your under-sink cabinet is really ruining your bathroom's vibe. It has slots for three different tools, a compartment in the back for power cords, and there's a helpful hook so you can hang it over your towel rack!

Amazon

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 $24.95+ (available in four colors). Or, check out an over-the-cabinet-door styling station.

35. A set of two under-bed storage containers perfect for packing away all your towels, blankets, or any other clutter you have no idea what to do with. It's made to fit under your bed, but you can also place it on shelves or any other surfaces that aren't being utilized to their full storage potential.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in five colors and also a four-pack).

36. A two-tier turntable so you can stack your spices and canned goods and make use of every inch of your cabinets — and now you won't have to take them out one by one just to find what you need. Reviewers also mention using it for condiment storage in the fridge!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 size bottles to be placed on the racks." —Vegmom

Get it from Amazon for $9.71+ (available in 10 colors and various packs).
