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." —Jerimi

The Roll Keeper is a Washington-based small biz established in 2018 that specializes in crafting and closet organization.

Each organizer holds 20 T-shirts (10 on each side), although some reviewers use it for leggings and gym clothes, too!

Promising review: "I own a lot of T-shirts. I have tried every organization method for them but it always led to a total disaster one way or another. This system is great though! I can clearly see all the shirts, they don't wrinkle, and it freed up an entire drawer!" —amy

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two colors).

YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that sells home and kitchen storage solutions.

Promising review: "I like how easy it is to put together, and that the separation pieces are adjustable. You customize it for your own storage needs! The separators are fairly easy to move and extremely sturdy. No more pans falling over!" —Marilee Housden

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

You can use it upright or on its side.

Promising review: "I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —L

Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).

It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments.

Promising review: "I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit but finally,f I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I’m in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks or tights or undies each well can fit more than one on top of each other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you’ll be super glad you did!" –Chrissquasi

Get it from Amazon for $13.87+ (available in seven colors).

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 $24.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Absolutely love these! We have extra large towels and these racks hold them perfectly when rolled up! It's such a great modern style and gives the bathroom a great look. They are sturdy and come with wall anchors as well. Will be buying another set of these for our other bathroom, and perhaps another for the dining room for some wine bottles! Don't even have to think twice before buying these!" —Erin Cech

Get two from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors).

The dividers are adjustable so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have!

Promising review: "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have 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, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." —Laura

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

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 three different pack sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I’ve been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" —RT17

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles).

They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels! The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick.

Promising review: "I love these! They fit snugly over my shelf, so they don't shift or move around. I have a lot of handbags and it's been a mess on my closet shelf for the ones that are floppy. I have limited closet space in a small home so my choices of where/how to store them are limited. This was the perfect solution. I plan on buying more when I get around to rearranging sweaters on shelves." —BarbraGenie

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.04+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I've been searching for something to not only hide the cord mess but protect them from my munch monster of a cat. This box in addition to cable straps and cable wrap has solved my cable management like magic! I highly recommend this product." —Lauryn

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

Promising review: "This set of organizers was exactly what I needed to organize my refrigerator. I was tired of reaching around items to get items from the back. All my condiments and containers fit in these. I am now able to slide the container forward to get to what I need. This really saved me from the clutter in my fridge. I am able to see what I actually have so food gets used and not spoiled. Thank you for selling this as a set. Great value as opposed to trying to buy pieces individually." —Judith King-Freels

Get the set of six (including an egg drawer) on Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors).

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 order 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).

Promising review: "I really like this wine rack! I needed a nice, space-saving solution for wine glasses that are too tall to go in my glass cabinet, and this rack fit the bill. It was simple to install and looks great. Good buy!" —Cycle Mom

Get it from Amazon for $19.93+ (available in rows of three or four, multi-packs, and in four finishes).

The six-piece set comes with two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins.

Promising review: "Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." —Sparkyj

Parkway Home is a small biz based in California that sells home organization products!

Promising review: "What I wasn't expecting is how easily the cutter slices through even odd material like Press & Seal! I thought I'd be sacrificing cutting ability for organization, but these cutters perform about 150x better than the cutters on the boxes that plastic wrap and foil come with. The box is quite stable, so pulling on the rolls won't cause the box to flop around." —Amanda Woods

Get it from Parkway Home on Etsy for $39.94.

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 two bags from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in five styles and in packs of four).

Promising review: "I am so glad I purchased this turntable! My kitchen counters and cabinets started becoming a pain with the clutter of spices I had. Cooking and searching for a spice can be so difficult at times! I've moved all my Flavor God Spices onto this turntable and I feel so much more organized and it makes my cooking process a lot more simple. What's even better is that it doesn't skid when spinning and fits a lot of items on each tier! A great buy for those who want a little organization in their kitchen!" —anny c.

Get it from Amazon for $14.19+ (available in 12 colors).

Promising review: "I love this for picking out clothes for the entire week for our little boy so we aren't scrambling around at night to get things together for the next day. It's sturdy and I love that there are two different ways to hang this on the closet rail. It also has side pockets you can store other things in!" —Carissa Brown

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Promising review: "This was perfect for organizing under my bathroom cabinet. I used one each for 1) facial and dental, 2) hair, 3) makeup, and 4) medicine cabinet–type randomness including sanitary care. I just pull a whole bin out for whatever I'm doing and put it back when I finish. Bye-bye countertop clutter and under cabinet disaster area." —Tee H.

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

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 $16.77+ (available in three 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 on the high ratings and they hold true." —Brad J. Leahy

Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in two colors).

This bag holder/dispenser can be mounted on the wall or inside a cabinet and it can hold up to 18 bags at a time!

Promising review: "This is such a great way to keep the plastic bags you accumulate from shopping condensed and organized. Great for recycling those bags and having them convenient and accessible. You can easily mount this to a wall in your kitchen, bathroom, or wherever else in the house you find yourself needing a plastic bag. I would highly suggest getting one." —Pigskull17

Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in six colors).

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 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I love everything about this. It's perfect for my desk. I'm an artist, and I bought two for all my markers. It's lightweight, very elegant, and the price is great. I put one on each end of my desk. They're small but hold so many markers or pencils." —Sherrie Stone

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles).

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

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in walnut and beech wood).

Promising review: "This space saver K-cup is wonderful! It is attractive and keep 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
