My space is a direct reflection of my mindset. When my home is cluttered, so is my head — but since I live in a small house with limited storage, keeping things organized is an uphill battle. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for affordable, practical solutions that help me maximize space, minimize mess, and restore my sense of calm. If clutter also puts you on edge, these cheap, genius things can help.
This four-in-one desk organizer clamps onto most tabletops (without damage) to maximize space and give everything a designated home. The detachable bin holds your coffee, phone, pens, and other supplies, while the rotating hook holds your headphones — and it has slots and cable holders to accommodate charging cords.
Wish you had a spot to stash laundry pods, dryer sheets, rags, or lint? You can install this laundry bin one of two ways: mount it to the wall with a screw or push pin, or stick it to the side of your machine thanks to its magnetic backing. Its slim design fits in tight spaces and its magnet is “very strong,” according to reviewers. It can also be used around the kitchen, bath, and more.
Make your own drawers in the refrigerator with this YouCopia fridge caddy. It has built-in handles and smooth-rolling wheels so you can access ingredients all the way in the back — not to mention removable, adjustable dividers for custom-like storage. Made from transparent, durable plastic, it’s earned an average 4.7-star rating from reviewers.
“This has made my life so much easier. I don’t have to dig around for anything,” one reviewer wrote about this purse insert, which has an average 4.5-star rating from over 31,000 reviewers. It provides structure and organization in formerly chaotic bags with its felt design and tons of pockets. Get it in several sizes to fit most bags from small purses to roomy totes.
Made from clear acrylic, these stackable drawers go with any decor style or color scheme, so you can use them to organize your bathroom vanity, spice cabinet, crafting area, work desk, or playroom. More than 29,000 reviewers gave them an average 4.6-star rating and wrote that they’re a “game-changer” and a “must-have for a tidy and efficient home.”
Got an impressive hat collection? Display and store it at the same time with these adhesive hat hooks, which are installed without nails or drilling and hold up to 3 pounds when set. Their curved shape is designed to hold baseball hats, flat caps, visors, and fedoras without creasing or damage, but you can also use them for headbands or scarves.
Reviewers are “beyond obsessed” with this rope basket and have given it an average 4.8-star rating. Woven from cotton with built-in handles, it’s extra-large with a stylish two-tone design, making it a great way to corral toys, laundry, pillows, bedding, and books while helping all of the aforementioned look intentional.
This travel organizer fits up to five pairs of sunglasses or eyeglasses in its roll-out design, which you can lay flat on a tabletop or hang over a hook. When it’s time for storage or travel, however, it rolls up into a compact pentagon and snaps shut. You can also use it to store jewelry or other small valuables.
Rather than stuffing your bras into a drawer, this bra hanger lets you store them over a closet rod, so you can see your whole lingerie collection at a glance and protect the shape of the cups for prolonged wear. Each hanger has smaller hooks with rounded tips to prevent snagging, and you can use them for sports bras or tank tops, too.
Never again wipe your nose with the napkins you have shoved in your glove compartment. These car tissues come in stylish cylindrical containers that fit in most cup holders. The “compact tube design is brilliant for travel,” while the “tissues themselves are soft yet strong,” one reviewer wrote.
With an overall 4.7-star rating from more than 2,300 reviewers, this countertop rack has been called “sleek,” “versatile,” and “super convenient.” Its steel design is shaped like a house and has multiple tiers to hold cutting boards, pot lids, and cooking utensils — all in a sturdy, compact fashion that makes your tools easily accessible while cooking.
“Great addition to my kitchen,” one reviewer wrote about this sink organizer, while another raved, “This cleverly designed caddy has proven to be a game-changer.” It has three adjustable compartments to hold dish soap, sponges, brushes, and drain strainers, while its stainless steel wire construction and sloped base allow for self-drainage that directs moisture right back into the sink.
Wash, cut, and store your produce with the same kitchen gadget thanks to this collapsible silicone basket, which is great for camping or homes with limited storage. When it’s expanded and the drainage hole is open, it functions as a colander for rinsing, but plug up the drainage hole and it becomes a soaking tub or a display bowl. Finally, when laid flat, it becomes a cutting board for food prep.
Reviewers are “really surprised” by the strength of these suction hooks. They’re waterproof, hold up to 11 pounds, and attach and detach to most flat surfaces without leaving behind any residue or damage. Stick them to your shower wall to hold razors and sponges, your backsplash to store kitchen accessories, or your mirror to hang accessories.
I’ve had these drill-free shelves in my shower for over two years now, and the adhesive is still holding strong.

They also have movable hooks for loofahs, scalp brushes, washcloths, and razors.
“This is the longest my Tupperware drawer has stayed organized,” raved one reviewer who called this expandable lid organizer the “best invention ever!” It stretches from 9.8 to 17.3 inches to fit most kitchens and has six adjustable dividers with 30 labels (both blank and pre-printed), so you can create an accessible filing system for your food storage lids.
Slip this felt caddy organizer under your mattress, sofa cushions, or the base of a bunk bed. It’s a convenient stand-in for a side table because its six pockets hold your devices, reading materials, remotes, glasses, and charging cords — all in compact, easily accessible compartments.
Each one of these leggings hangers holds up to 10 pairs in its slip-resistant, rubber-coated clips, which are curved to create a cascading effect so you can see your whole collection at once. “I have limited space so these are a godsend to me,” one reviewer wrote. “They hold quite a few leggings and free up space in my dresser drawers.”
Stick this adhesive drawer anywhere you need additional storage. It’s great for holding office supplies under your desk, but you can also use it to store remotes under side tables, cosmetics under vanities, tools or craft supplies under workspaces, or loose packets under spice cabinet shelves. Each one can support up to 3 pounds and comes with adhesive tape for installation.
This hanging diversion safe is much easier to hide than a clunky metal one — not to mention easier to grab in case of emergencies. Compatible with most standard hangers, it holds up to 20 pounds of cash, jewelry, and important documents in its zippered pocket, and its sloped sides tuck discreetly inside jackets so it’s hidden in plain sight.
Designed to maximize storage while still leaving room for your plumbing, these under-sink organizers have an offset two-tier configuration with a pull-out drawer on the bottom, so you can access toiletries or cleaning supplies in the back.

“This is genius,” one reviewer wrote about these under-bed shoe storage boxes, which are “a fantastic solution” because they’re a “space saver” that’s both “easy to pull out” and “tuck back in.” They’re waterproof with reinforced side handles, adjustable velcro dividers, and clear zippered tops. You can also get them with larger cells for boot storage.
Set your own four-digit combination to open this portable lockbox and use the cable to secure it to a pole, desk, car, suitcase, or other fixed object.

Rather than leaving your power strip out on the floor, this under-desk organizer hides it in plain sight to minimize visual clutter and keep kids and pets away from outlets.

At first glance, these shatter-resistant organizers look pretty simple.

Made from borosilicate glass that’s safe in the dishwasher, microwave, oven, fridge, and freezer, these mixing bowls are versatile workhorses for your kitchen.

For those with extensive tumbler or water bottle collections, these lid organizers offer an innovative solution.

Get them in silver or black.
This utensil crock has earned an average 4.6-star rating from reviewers who called it “sturdy” and “roomy” with a “clean, sleek design.” Its weighted bottom and large capacity hold up to 15 of your most-used kitchen tools, so you can clear up space in the drawer and grab the one you need at a glance while cooking.

It has three tiers with movable hooks, a handle, and caster wheels for portability.
Place these woven baskets by the door to collect keys, on your desk to corral gadgets, on your vanity to hold perfume bottles and cosmetics, or on shelves to disguise clutter.

“I was a little hesitant that these would work well, but was totally amazed how well the air was sucked out,” one reviewer wrote about these large Spacesaver bags. Fill them with bulky blankets, pillows, coats, or sweaters and use a vacuum (or the included hand pump) to suck all the air out, decreasing their footprint by up to 80%. They also keep out dust and moisture for attic, basement, and garage storage, or you can use them to efficiently pack a suitcase.
Stack your unused hangers on this stainless steel caddy or hook them over the top bar. Either way, they’re neatly stored and easy to access when you need them. “I have two of these and love them,” wrote one reviewer who keeps one in the laundry room and the other in the closet. “Highly recommend these because leaving the hangers on the rod in the closet just takes up too much room and is wasted time when gathering them.”
“What a genius little gadget!” one reviewer wrote about these mug stackers, which are also compatible with cups and glasses. “Work like a charm and my cabinets have more storage space now that my mugs are organized in this manner.” They adjust to fit drinkware of most diameters and let you stack one upside-down on the other, so you can make use of vertical space to double your cabinet storage.
