1. Get creative by using a magnetic refrigerator rack with dowels and hooks to hang dishcloths, paper towels, and measuring spoons. Bonus points for a spacious shelf that allows you to store spices and other essentials.
2. Or, if you don’t need extra shelves, opt for a simple magnetic paper towel holder instead. Try to remove as many items from the counter as you can *without* getting rid of ’em entirely so you have more space to work with.
3. Snag some magnetic spice jars and clear out that messy drawer or cabinet once and for all. If you’re fresh out of fridge space, get a magnetic board that you can add to the side of your cabinet and attach the jars to!
4. Swap out the bulky knife block for a sleek magnetic strip. Mount it to your backsplash to store knives and metal utensils! You’ll have more room on the counter for, you know, counter stuff.
5. If you’re especially short on kitchen counter space, use unique organization solutions like this fruit hammock. It attaches to the bottom of your cabinet and gives your fruit a home until you’re ready for a snack.
6. When it comes to tackling the cabinets, every inch of usable space counts! Use a cabinet door organizer to have a place to store those random things you usually shove into a cluttered drawer and hope for the best.
7. Similarly, keep your brushes, hairdryer, and other tools in an over-the-door styling tool organizer so they’re out of sight. Cramming them into a cabinet just creates a tangled mess, but this will keep ’em neatly organized.
Amazon
Promising review: “This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before all my items were in a drawer, and the cords were a pain, but this metal basket minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and a curling wand. The bars are adjustable as well (just use the twisties it came with to secure them in place, but the basket fits perfectly to my cabinet). Worth the buy. :)” —Alyssa Jewell
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors)
8. Invest in other over-the-door storage options, like this versatile hanging organizer that’ll work in nearly any room in your home. Whether you use it to store pantry items or toiletries, it’s a simple way to make a big difference in your storage space.
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 laundry room to 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
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.87.
9. Free up some drawer space with a clever cutlery organizer. Rather than it resembling pure chaos, your silverware will be neatly sorted, and you’ll have additional room for miscellaneous items.
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.” —Jerimi
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three sizes/styles).
10. And throw a set of fridge drawers in there to maximize your space in a very tidy way. This consolidates grocery items so you have more room on the shelves. The clear drawers have built-in handles so they’re easy to see *and* access.

Amazon
Just slide it on your shelf — the installation’s that simple!
Promising review: “These are excellent quality, sturdy, and well-made. I appreciate that when slid in place, the front of the basket lines up flush with the edge of the shelf (some lesser brands protrude a bit beyond the shelf, making it impossible to close the cupboard properly). Look no further — these are the best deal you’ll find.” —peggydf
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in three sizes, in colors white and black, and in larger sets).
14. Save big on floor space with a broom and mop organizer for your cleaning closet or storage area. It’ll also be *much* nicer to look at than a disorganized pile in the corner.

Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in four colors and as a two-pack).
15. Cooking pans are notorious for occupying an entire cabinet, but you can use a storage system that stacks ’em with just enough space in between. They won’t get scratched *and* they’ll be organized without hogging an entire cabinet.
Amazon
Promising review: “This rack is perfect. I put my largest skillet on the bottom and 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 $18.87 (available in three colors).

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

Amazon, Joseph Joseph
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.” —Sydney A. Graham
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $34.99.
18. Prevent a pile of dirty clothes and towels from accumulating on your bathroom floor with a hanging laundry hamper. It won’t take up any valuable floor space *and* it unzips at the bottom. Instead of taking it down on laundry day, simply unzip it and head to the washing machine.
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 $9.59+ (available in three colors and as a two-pack).
19. Give yourself some more closet space with an over-the-door hook rack for hanging everyday garments such as jackets, hats, and scarves. It can support up to 45 pounds, so load it up!

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes, five colors, and as a two-pack).
20. Remember that saving space and organizing doesn’t have to be boring. Seek out solutions that double as decor, like this hexagonal toilet paper shelf! We all know that giant pack of toilet paper is taking up FAR too much room in your cabinet under the sink, but this will fix that.

21. And if you need to get all those items out of your closet so you have more space, you can store them in under-bed storage containers. There’s no sense in these items collecting dust and taking up room for months, after all. Four of these babies fit under a queen bed!
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

Promising review: “These are amazing!!! If you use many purses for different occasions, then you need this. They fit large purses and smaller purses. It’s so fantastic!!! I can’t say enough about the perfect design and how they sit perfectly in each slot. I got the gray color thinking it might show less dust. You can hang it anywhere you can want. I highly recommend it!! I hope you love [it] as much as I do! 😁” —Christine
Get it from Amazon for $13.75+ (available in four colors).
23. Condense your overflowing closet by using nonslip velvet hangers. They’re thinner than plastic hangers, so you’ll end up with more room to hang clothes. And the velvety texture ensures even the slipperiest of garments won’t slide off and land on the floor!
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.

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 $34.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).

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).

Promising review: “Bought two of these for our bedroom. I hate having large nightstands and love the minimalist design of these. Easy to put together and install. The second shelf came a bit damaged where the screw assembles. I contacted the manufacturer who responded within 2 hours (on a weekend)! I sent a quick photo and they shipped a new one out same day. Second one came in perfect condition and they didn’t make me send back the damaged product (which I greatly appreciate the saved trip to the UPS store). I will definitely be ordering more of these! 100% recommend!” —DocOd
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+.

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!

Promising review: “If you are looking for some shower space and you don’t want to tear out your shower to build in the nitches…grab these babies. They stick great, and hold a ton of stuff! It took our shower from looking cluttered and always having stuff fall underfoot to looking put together, and having everything be right where you need it to get to it. I use liter bottles of shampoo and conditioner and these babies hold both in one basket. Pick up a set, you won’t be disappointed. Also, if you have two showers and only need one basket in each you can split them and get storage in both showers that match perfectly!!” —Chris

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

37. And for those with *very* limited desk space, try these stick-on hidden drawers for a bit of extra storage. These small additions will make a vast difference by organizing your office supplies and saving precious space on your desk.
Amazon
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 chockfull of some heavy things, the drawers have stayed attached and slide out smooth with no issues. Great purchase for the value.” —Chris
