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! They 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.” —Chris

3. A brilliant Shoe Slotz space saver to *double* the amount of shoes you can store by neatly stacking each pair of shoes on top of each other — without getting all squished!

Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed, Amazon

Here’s what BuzzFeed home and garden editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: “This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn’t really work because there’s not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you’d normally use to store your shoes.” 

Promising review: “These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have or overestimated the space that was in the closet and I couldn’t display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I’ll have to go out and buy more shoes now!” —Hercules

Promising review: “I had a nicer-looking, more expensive version of this in my cart originally. This was one-third of that price and I’m so glad I went with this one.

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.

Promising review: “I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in four colors). 

12. Or a wall charger featuring six outlets and two USB fast-charging ports so you can keep all of your devices juiced through the entire work day without adding outlet strips to your room that’s already lacking in floor space.

Promising review: “I work from home in a small apartment, and this really made my setup work the way I want it to. I need to use all six plugs, plus I like to keep my phone and Mi-Fi charging while working too. This was the perfect thing for me to get everything plugged in and essentially retrofitted into a built-in apartment wall desk setup that was intended for the large desktop towers of the late ’90s. I’m ordering a second one in hopes it transforms another part of my weird floor plan. Bonus: The USB ports seem to fast-charge my iPhone XS Max. I can go from dead to fully charged in about 90 minutes.” —Moose

Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 

13. A slim shelving unit on wheels so you can maximize even the tiniest unused space in your apartment and keep small objects from winding up strewn around the room because they have nowhere to live.Wayfair

Promising review: “This was a great touch for a previously wasted space between my washer and dryer in my laundry room. It works best if it can roll straight out, but my husband secured the joints. It also allowed me space for the iron and ironing products rather than filling up my utility closet.” —Wayfair Customer

Get it from Wayfair for $28.27 (originally $79.99).

14. A strong magnetic stove shelf if your kitchen is painfully low on counter and cupboard 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 $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).

15. An over-the-door towel rack so you have somewhere to put your towels that isn’t all over your teeny tiny bathroom floor. Plus, it includes hooks so you can hang your robe and other clothes too!Amazon

Promising review: “I bought this in the satin nickel and it goes very well with my sons’ bathroom hardware. It is lightweight and hangs nicely over the bathroom door. It was very easy to put together with only six small screws (my nine-year-old put it together). I like that it has the extra hooks at the bottom of the rack for smaller towels, or in my case, childrens’ robes. It is definitely a space saver in a small bathroom shared by two boys. We will see if it helps them keep their towels off the floor. A mother can dream, right?” —Jo Rose

Get it from Amazon for $17.50+ (available in three finishes).

16. A tiny outlet shelf ideal for storing an electric toothbrush, your glasses, or any other small objects that don’t really fit anywhere else.

FYI, it installs like a regular outlet cover. Of course except with the wonderful shelf. Can also be installed so the shelf is below the outlet.

Promising review: “I was very skeptical about this one. I had it in my cart for a while and just couldn’t get myself to order it. Once I did and I received it, I was so happy I did. I will be ordering more now. It adds an extra storing space. My laundry room is very limited so any added storing is key! I use it for my dryer sheets. I’ll be ordering another to store a small trash bin for lint from the dryer. I’m thinking about also adding these around the house for other things. So easy to install, takes literally less than two minutes.” —Hazel Vera

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and multipacks).

17. A mounted stemware holder — it’ll defy gravity to essentially turn one shelf into two!This rack holds nine to 12 glasses depending on their size! And you’re looking for some recommendations for wine glasses, we’ve got your back. 

All of the mounting hardware is included, but heads up that these are geared more toward apartment owners than renters since you need to insert self-tapping screws into your cabinets — no drill required!

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 $21.93+ (available in rows of three, four, or five, packs of one or two, and four finishes).

18. Or a hanging wine bottle and glass rack if you need somewhere to store the bottles too!Wayfair

19. A multilayered jewelry organizer so you can store earrings, rings, and other small jewelry in a compact *and* stylish way.

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

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three colors).

20. An under-bed storage bin for everything that doesn’t fit in your maxed out closets and drawers, and winds up just lying around your room.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. One holds 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

Get two bins from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in three colors, two styles, and sets of four).

21. And some adjustable bed risers in case you need to make a little more room down there to truly fit EVERYTHING.

They’ll also work with couches or futons.

Promising review: “These blow my mind. They’ve added so much storage under our bed. I worried about them being durable enough to withstand our weight but there was no need to worry. Just this past weekend, both my husband and I were on the bed when two of our teenage sons ran and jumped on the bed with us. I didn’t even hear a creak from these bed risers. There must have been close to 800 lbs. on our bed at that point and these risers held up like champs.” —Kelly McHone

Amazon

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

I’d been looking for new laundry baskets to keep in my bathroom so my family didn’t just throw clothes into a pile on the floor. There isn’t a lot of floor space in there, so I was looking for a tall narrow basket and found these. They are great. I put one on the back of the door, one hanging from a towel rack, and labeled one for light colors and, without even asking, my family has been putting their clothes in the correct bin. Then, I just need to unzip and let the clothes fall into the laundry basket and they are ready to go into the wash. I really like them.” —D. Jelte

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two).

26. A pack of Command hooks because they’re strong enough to hold a wide variety of items and require *no tools* to install.

I have minimal counter space and ceramic tile walls behind my counter. I am unable to risk drilling into the tile or to the underside of my cabinets. These sticky hooks are perfect!! They adhere to the tile AND to the wood laminate of my upper cabinets. They also are great on the painted wall and the bumpy side of my refrigerator. I started using these around March of 2020 and I have not had a single one fall down. I have various sizes of kitchen utensils and items hanging from them.” —Tigerakp

This storage rack efficiently eliminates that problem! The three-tier version was an awesome fit for my pantry. It’s easy to set up — I did it without the instructions in just minutes. Highly recommend, worth the value.” —Momo Kariño

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.

All the other spaces fit flats or low sneakers well.” —Sara C.

46. A plastic bag holder/dispenser because that cabinet under your sink has a lot more to offer than just being the place where you keep plastic bags stuffed with, you guessed it, more plastic bags.

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

47. And finally, a sneaky cabinet you can install behind a door if your remaining storage options are next to none. It’s both slim and tall, managing to hold as much as *five medicine cabinets* without being in the way.

Promising review: “This is a must-have for any small space. My bathroom has no medicine cabinet, just a mirror, and is pretty small, so storage is a huge deal. My girlfriend came across this item, so I figured I would give it a shot. I know it states it needs a two-person install, but I put this together and hung it in about an hour by myself with very minimal effort. This fits so much stuff, it really is amazing, and it does not impede any operation of the door. I can’t fully explain how much I recommend this. I’m about to order the mirror version for my bedroom for colognes and little knickknacks to declutter the countertops.” —Matt C.
