Promising review: "I used to have a two-tier metal rack that was nowhere near enough storage space and there were always shoes all over the floor. I put this together in a rather short while and now my closet is clean! Totally love this because it is so spacious and you can build it in any shape you want." —Mama D

Get a 15-cube set from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors and sizes).

You can store up to five pots and pans on this handy organizer.

Promising review: "I have been wanting to organize my kitchen cabinets for years. Finally got tired of lifting three pans to get the one I need. They were very easy to assemble and adjust as needed for the correct spacing. They were also very sturdy. I have eight skillets and I ordered two of these racks. These are the perfect solution for my cabinet. Gave me more space than I had before and it's so much easier to get to my skillets now. I love them. Would recommend them to anyone." —Piper L.

The dividers snap together to create the individual slots. Some reviewers said these can be easily cut to fit the exact measurements of your drawer.

Promising review: "I needed something to organize my socks, saw this, and thought it looked like it would work. This is exactly what I needed. Size is super, and it's easy to put together once I figured out that the buttons are easier to get into the slots if you DON'T try to push them but instead rock them from side to side. Really, I couldn't be happier with these. Much better than I expected, and exactly what I need." —L. Mountford

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in sets of two, four, or eight).

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 set of two on Amazon for $17.99.

Promising review: "I’m basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can’t speak to long term, but it’s amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can’t see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that’s just half-filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." —BobbyL

Push down the button on the top to activate the airtight seal. To open, just push down again for the button to pop up. The lid also comes apart for easier cleaning.

Promising review: "Love the Oxo pop-top canisters! They seal well and open easily with a press to the pop-top. I have arthritis in my hands and these are fabulous and so easy to open, yet so secure when the lid is popped close. Also has a useful knob on the bottom of the lid so you can stick an Oxo scoop inside the container to the lid rather than down in whatever you are storing in the container." —Lori A. Fregin

The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business from Kelso, Washington. Take a peek at this helpful video that shows you how to load and unload the Roll Keeper!

Check out this promising review from BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower who owns (and loves!) the Roll Keeper: "Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny-tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!"

Promising review: "Amazing, I think everyone needs this product for organizing their jewelry. It is super compact, which I love and it is perfect for organizing your jewelry. I split my rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets into four separate compartments. It works perfectly, no cosmetic imperfections, and is exactly how it is described. It is small, so make sure to know the exact measurements before purchasing if size is a problem." —Emily Zhang

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has and looooves this ottoman:

"I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."

Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.

The cart comes with three bins you can hang on the side of the trays as well as removable tray dividers to keep things more orderly.

Promising review: "This is such a great value! Super cute, quick and easy to assemble, even comes with a screwdriver. Generous-sized trays — this organizer can hold A LOT. I love the wheels; they make it so easy to move around. Very sturdy construction and the removable dividers were an unexpected and happy surprise. I bought this for makeup storage but I could see using this just about anywhere. Very pleased with this purchase!" —Rh121

This attaches at the top to your clothing rod in your closet, and it can hold a weight of up to 50 pounds. There are also two side pockets for holding odds and ends.

Promising review: "Must-have for NYC cramped-apartment living! I made the mistake of buying a different and cheaper (less expensive) unit about 1.5 years ago. It could not hold all my heavy shoes and kept folding in and buckling and was unsightly. This is so sturdy!" —VulcanHunter22

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

The bins also come with dividers that you can place inside to keep everything as organized as possible.

Promising review: "This product was sooo easy to put together!! I recently moved into a new house and have way too many skincare products that I’m not using every day as part of my routine. I needed a way to organize them and this was perfect and has the area underneath my sink looking so neat and organized! I fit my surplus of skincare, all my nail stuff, and some extra bath stuff all inside. I love it!!" —B

This stainless steel hanger organizer can hold 55 velvet hangers or 100 wire hangers.

Promising review: "This product is great and does exactly as advertised! Easy assembly — only need four screws (included with package). Was able to fit 41 velvet hangers and 60 plastic, totaling 101 hangers. I alternated which way the hangers were facing up until the handle splits into two. I then placed our hangers facing each way, resting against the handle. This significantly increases the amount of hangers you can carry on this device! The added weight does not appear to impair the functionality of the product at all. This will be perfect when moving out of my apartment and into a house." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

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 it from Amazon for $12.50+ (available in two sizes and in sets of three).

Maitland Quitmeyer, a member of the BuzzFeed Shopping team, LOVES these! Here's what she has to say: "WHY didn't I buy these vacuum storage bags sooner?? I chose the large size (as opposed to the biggest size, called 'jumbo') because it seemed easier to move and store — jumbo is probably perfect for bedding, duvets, etc! And just one large bag was plenty to store 9 or 10 *very* large winter sweaters — all collapsed down to a fraction of their size. And it was surprisingly effortless, too! I am literally going to order another pack of five today — my closet game is forever changed!!!"

Get a set of five from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four sizes; also available in a 10 pack).

Read her full review of the vacuum-sealed storage bags in "Just 7 Things You'll Want To Try In June."

It's less than 6 inches tall — perfect to slide under beds that sit low to the floor.

Promising review: "This is large, and there’s two! Fits perfectly under my bed and holds so much stuff. Hold my winter casual clothes and pajamas and the other holds my summer swimsuits and casual sundresses. I’m very impressed! The sides are collapsible but fit perfectly under my bed that has drawers and the bungee board so it’s pretty tight under there but they fit perfectly. I emptied several totes and organized my closet. 👍🏻👍🏻 Definitely recommend." —Houston

You can hang this shower curtain with the pockets facing either the inside or outside, depending on what you need to store.

Promising review: "I needed more storage in my shower because there are no built-in niches and I only have room for a narrow shower caddy. I saw this idea on Pinterest, but it was geared toward college dorms and small apartments. I found that it works great in any size bathroom. It has nine pockets of different sizes, so you can store many different items. The liner itself is of heavy plastic and the pockets are of sturdy mesh. The overall quality is very good and it does not feel too thin. My shower rod is screwed into the wall, so I am not concerned about putting too many heavy items in the pockets, but if you have a tension rod, you should be aware not to overload it." —Minerva King

Get it from Amazon for $20.14 (also available in gray).

Promising review: "This thing made my life so much easier. Instead of trying to shove all my tinfoil and sandwich bag boxes into one drawer I can now put them all in here. Saves space and fits great over cabinets! And, it’s super easy to put together." —Maggie Hundshamer

Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in a pack of two).

Cilpastore is a small business based in Latvia that creates handmade vinyl holders, organizers, and home decor.

Promising review: "Arrived beautifully! Simple design yet solid build and impeccable quality! Will definitely buy again if I need to expand my LP vinyl collection." —Jasrie

Get it from Cilpastore on Etsy for $54.79+ (available in four finishes).

The organizer comes with two straps that you can attach to hooks in your trunk.

Promising review: "I love this thing. It is super well made and fits A TON of stuff. I'm using it basically as an emergency kit. I was able to fit literally anything I need in the event of an emergency, including a change of clothes (with shoes), toiletries, a blanket, makeup, snacks, and I still have room to toss shopping bags in while I'm out so they don't roll around in my trunk." —Erica Edwards

Get it on Amazon for $25.18+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I took it out of the box and had it hanging on my door in under 30 seconds. It's simple and convenient. Highly recommended. It also comes with additional hardware if you would like the option to attach it to the wall. I am happy with it hanging over the door." —N.N.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Watch in amazement as your closet suddenly gains so much storage space!

Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t expect them to work as well as it sounds...but they absolutely work as well as they sound! Makes MUCH more room in my closet. I used for purses, jackets, tank tops, dresses and has been holding very well. When I need something, just push the others aside and raise up the one I need. Very pleased with my purchase!" —Dennis A. Evans

Get a four-pack on Amazon for $10.95 (available in four other quantities).

Promising review: "This was perfect for what I was looking for. The hair dryer spot being in the middle provides better balance than other similar items I tried. This one also fit in my cabinet better and the hooks fit over my cabinet door that is a little thicker than some other products say will fit." –C

Get it from Amazon for $14.87+ (available in two styles and three colors).

You'll receive four sets of drawer dividers that expand from 17.5 to 22 inches and are 2.62 inches high. They can be placed vertically or horizontally.

Promising review: "These were exactly what I was looking for! I had a wide kitchen drawer that would quickly become a mess with utensils shifting every time it was opened and closed. These drawer dividers help keep things organized and from making a pile of 'stuff' at the back of the drawer! Worth the price." —Jennifer McKenzie

Reviewers said it's especially helpful for kids' closets because their clothes are so small and don't take up much hanging space vertically. The horizontal bar can expand from 18 inches to the max 30 inches, and the hanging height can be adjusted by 1-inch increments.

Promising review: "This product is amazing. My kiddos are going to share a closet and this was the easiest way to get all of their things in there together. It doubled the hanging space and I was able to hang my daughter's things and move my son's items to the bottom hanging addition. How low you want it to hang is adjustable so it could go even lower if you had adult-size clothing to hang. Would definitely purchase again." —Jeanette Fite

Get it from Amazon for $16.87 (available in three colors).

Reviewers said you can also use these shelves to organize canned goods.

Promising review: "My spice cabinet is next to the oven, and it extends all the way to the wall, with another cabinet at a right angle, meaning there is only so much space in the cabinet that you can see when you open the cabinet door, even though the cabinet is much bigger. This organizer extends a good way down the cabinet and the stair steps of it make it such usable space! My spice cabinet is so much more user friendly and I can actually see what I have. I highly recommend and can see tons more uses for this in other cabinets!" —Eileen T.

I've owned these for years and love them! I use one for blankets and the other to store my dumbbells for at-home workouts. They're super sturdy and the neutral colors look great in my living room. When they arrive, they'll be folded flat and look misshapen, but once you place contents in them, they adjust to their normal, round shape.

Promising review: "I love this basket! I have been using rope baskets in my room to store things. My favorite thing about these rope baskets is that they’re really cute, but also functional. They’re great for when you need storage, but you’ve run out of hidden storage, or when you need to store something that is used frequently. I bought this storage basket to store my knitting and crafting supplies. Storing things out of sight makes it difficult for me to remember to finish it at times, so it’s nice that it’s visible but not an eyesore. The size of this basket is fantastic. I have another smaller one that wasn’t quite big enough, so I bought this large size and still have room to spare! It’s a great quality, and I will keep it to use forever." —K M

Get it from Amazon for $18.24+ (available in eight colors and two sizes).

Promising review: “Holy crap! This is way better than an over-the-showerhead caddy or a corner shelf! Its adhesion is amazing, as you can tell we have it chock-full and it’s not once moved or came undone!!!! Gives our shower more space and way easier to keep clean now!! I’d highly recommend it!!! Also, please note we don’t have tile, so I’m unsure how it would hold up on different surfaces but they give you two adhesive strips so it gives you an opportunity to try on different areas.” —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).

You can adjust the three tiers to fit your counter's specific height.

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

Dunn Rustic is a small business based in Nashville that creates customized watch boxes, ring boxes, home organizers, and more.

Promising review: "Absolutely loved this hat holder! It’s super cute and goes with my decor perfectly and it’s such a fun way to display my beautiful hats! I got the smaller of the two beams." —Etsy Customer

Get it from Dunn Rustic on Etsy for $75+ (available in three sizes and three finishes).

Promising review: "So nice! Even though it’s just two of us, we struggle to keep things clean. I finally realized that it’s because we don’t have enough stuff that'll actually organize everything. This makes life sooo much easier for us! It keeps everything in the open but still organized. I have curly hair and have a TON of products. I also love baths and have a ton of stuff for that too (salts, bubbles, bombs, candles). I now can keep everything on here and it’s perfect access from the shower and the sink! Our bathroom is small and it’s perfect. Usually, my husband assembled but I did this time because I didn’t want to wait. Super easy! It’s not super sturdy but we haven’t had any issues. You might want to bolt to the wall though. But you don’t have to." —Amazon Customer

This organizer has eight clear slots so you can easily see each purse you've stored away!

Promising review: "I was quite skeptical when I ordered this purse organizer but decided for the price, I'd go ahead and take the chance. Well! This is a winner. There's no assembly. It hooks over the clothes rod, right alongside the clothes hangers. I held my breath as I began to push through a couple of my larger purses. The larger ones protrude a bit on each end but the sling fits like a glove around the purse and prevents sliding. The smaller purses fit quite nicely. I like that my more costly bags will not be a dust catchall now and also are protected from scratching. All in all, I'm impressed with this product and happy with this purchase. It is a space saver. I recommend it. I hope it holds up well. I think it will." —Beje

Get it from Amazon for $11.60+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I really like this makeup organizer. This helps me lay out my makeup products without rummaging around in the makeup bag I used to use. This spins really well, and it was nice being able to set the height for the four middle shelves. Hopefully this keeps me from trying to use any more counter space." –Michelle S.

Promising review: "My wife and I were looking for a coat rack that would fit perfectly next to our door. It was tough as we didn't want to buy something to big nor too small. We decided to go with this one and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. The quality was good and it handled all the shoes and coats. And the best part was that the size was neither too big nor too small, it was just right. Truly a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone!" —Fernando Galvez

Promising review: "Love these sturdy lazy Susans. They fit perfectly in my cabinet and make it easy to find things while keeping organized.
