A hanger stacker, for when you realize, “hmm, maybe ignoring the massive pile in my closet isn’t the best storage solution??”
Promising review: “I grew tired of throwing my empty hangers into a pile in my closet. They would get all tangled up and really frustrated the heck out of me every time I had to put away clothes! This hanger stacker seemed like an easy solution and boy, was I right! It assembles really easily (just two screws and an Allen wrench) and it is good at keeping my hangers organized. Buy one — you won’t regret it!” —Bubbles456
Get it from Amazon for $18.78.
2.
A shower curtain liner with pockets so you can take advantage of every last inch of storage space your cramped bathroom offers.
Amazon
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 $14.

A hanging organizer tray if you feel like storage units never offer a great spot to store your wallets and handbags.

And yes, if you were wondering, you can still raise and lower your garage door while it’s in use.
Promising review: “What a great product and what great customer service. I have been looking for a way to store my fishing rods so they won’t break. This worked perfectly. I will buy more of these and spread them around my garage door. Before you order make sure you measure your garage panels as they are all different and you must specify the size of your panel. if you have a problem, call customer service and they will bend over backwards help you. Highly recommend. I’m a very satisfied customer” —Jaykalish
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
6.
A multi-slotted battery organizer so you don’t have to dig through a junk drawer and unearth three stray Tylenols, a nickel, and a crumpled CVS receipt before finding your stash.
Promising review: “We have forever kept spare batteries in sandwich baggies in a kitchen junk drawer for quick convenience. The bags would always come open and scatter batteries or tear. One day, I decided to reorganize — I found this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It was a major step in reorganizing my junk drawer! I also discovered that I had five dead batteries stored for use. How wonderful was that? Now I’ll never replace a dead battery with another dead battery. I love things that help me stay organized and this is a huge plus.” —FergFam
Get it from Amazon for $13.54 (available in two sizes).
7.
A wall-mounted table you can fold up when you’re not using it as a desk or dining surface.
Amazon
Promising review: “This desk is perfect for my tiny San Francisco apartment. I mounted it at a standing height as it looked better proportioned at that height on the wall. I believe it would also work with a high stool, which I’m on the watch for now. Best of all, Southern Enterprises has absolutely wonderful customer service! I called with a question and they helped me right away.” —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $102.29+ (available in white and dark brown).
8.
A leaning ladder you can use to hang throw blankets, scarves, belts, and other accessories on without looking like a total mess.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’m one of those ‘I wore it once and it’s not ready to wash yet’ people. This ladder is perfect for draping shirts instead of in a pile. Such a simple idea. At first it was awkward assembling it until I figured out to attach all one side’s rungs first; do not try to do one rung at a time on both sides. It’s lightweight and has good soft tips at the top and bottom. I love the black and the wooden rung at the top.” —amazed
Get it from Amazon for $50+ (available in white and black).
9.
A wall-mounted organization system to sort all of your mail *and* hang your keys.
Amazon
Promising review: “Really good design and the price is right! I’ve been looking everywhere for a simple mail holder that had a somewhat thin profile and one that could mount to the wall (or in my case, a wooden panel).” —Brian
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
10.
A set of loop hangers that’ll tidily organize your scarves, belts, ties, or even leggings.
Promising review: “This is such a great way to store my scarves. I can fold them neatly and they are not wrinkled when I pull them out to wear them! I have used other types of scarf hangers and all my scarves ended up very wrinkled and disheveled looking.” —luvnlifevt
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
11.
A faux-leather storage bench, so you don’t have to make a decision between seating or storage.

A washer-friendly sock organization system (equipped with clips and locks), because your least favorite part of doing laundry — hands down — is scavenging for lost mates.
Amazon
Promising review: “If you’re tired of sorting and pairing socks, then you need this product. I ordered a set for me (one for clean socks and one for dirty socks). The socks stayed secured in and out of the wash cycle and dried well. Great idea for each family member, travelers, and kids going off to college. Can be used for more than just socks. Think scarves, gloves, etc.” —valueval

Or, a hanging three-tiered drying surface if messing with hardware is a hard no.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have had one of these for about a year and I love it so much and use it so often that I bought a second one. This is wonderful for hanging sweaters, undergarments, special clothing that cannot be dried, etc. In a family of four, we almost always have all six layers filled (we have two pieces at three layers each).” —Janet K Johnston
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
16.
A nursery organizer and diaper caddy, so everything can be within arm’s reach when disaster strikes.
Amazon
Promising review: “Absolutely the best quality. The material is top of the line and it’s not just some cardboard on each shelf, it’s sturdy and holds the weight. The best part is you have the option to hang it two ways, with straps or loops, but either way it’s built for support and will hold all the things you need. In my opinion, this is the only one I’d recommend to any mother.” —Kasey King
Get it from Amazon for $24.92.
17.
A slide-out storage tower, if you’ve ever wondered what to do with that oddly narrow space between your washer and dryer.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’m very happy with this item. It was a snap to put together (pun sort of intended). Assembly only took a couple of minutes. It glides easily on the wheels. It is very thin (~ 5 inches), but that’s how it is described and is precisely what I needed.” —Lake
Get it from Amazon for $29.52.
18.
A set of magnetic spice jar dispensers, so you’ll never have to ask where the salt went ever again.
Amazon
Promising review: “Finally!!! We searched for a long time for spice jars that would hold a nice amount of spices. These are perfect! With a pour or sprinkle option, window to see the spice level, strong magnet, and space-saving square shape! We planned to just put our ‘popular’ spices in them but we love them so much we are buying another set so we can have all our spices organized!!” —JT
Get it from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in sets of 3, 6, 12, and 24).

An adjustable wrap stand, because maybe up until now you thought the only way to store your foils and plastics was in a pile?

A sheep toilet paper holder that’ll also hold your guests’ attention.
Amazon
Promising review: “After using the bathroom, my husband sought me out to inform me that he loves this product. He was so delighted, and I was surprised at his reaction to the toilet paper holder. We used to stack our TP on top of the toilet tank. Easy to put together, and stands on floor. It holds lots of TP, and best of all, it is cute.” —Murphy
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
