If These 26 Products Won’t Make You Organized, Nothing Will
I recently moved out of the home that I spent the first 23 years of my life in —that meant going through 23 years' worth of accumulated stuff. After that experience, I picked up a bunch of products to stay organized, promising myself to keep things neat and tidy going forward.
Now that my new apartment is filled with genius products from Amazon for getting organized, I have to say, things are a lot less stressful. Opening my closet doesn't prompt an avalanche, I can find that exact scarf I'm looking for, and my bathroom sink is, well, an actual sink (rather than a storage bowl for my blow dryer and brushes).
Here's my theory: If these products don't make you organized, nothing will. Organization isn't so much about personality as it is about having the right tools. If you have a closet with no shelves, drawers, or hooks, everything will end up in a heap on the floor, whether you're neat or not. If everything has a set place, however, you'll be way more likely to keep things in order. So here are 26 of the best organization products around, to ensure that every closet, drawer, and cabinet looks like something out of a Container Store catalog.
1. These Under-Sink Shelves That Adjust According To Pipe Placement
NEX 2-Tier Under Sink Shelf, $22, Amazon
Under-sink shelves are always a great idea — until you realize the pipes get in the way. This brilliant two-tier shelf has removable steel panels that you can slide and rearrange to make room for whatever's already underneath your sink. It's sturdy enough to hold dozens of bottles and cleaning supplies, and the best part is, it's super easy to assemble, requiring no tools.
2. These Canvas Drawer Bins That Keep All Your Delicates Neat And Tidy
Simple Houseware Drawer Organizers, $14 (Set Of 4), Amazon
This set of four canvas separator bins help you turn those unruly underwear drawers into a Type-A person's dream. The different shapes and measurements are great for socks, bras, lingerie, ties, scarves, or even towels, and they're durable and mold-proof in case you choose to store them away. For only $14, you'll get a set of four — perfect for your two top drawers.
3. This Brilliant Over-The-Door Organizer For Your Hair Tools
mDesign Over-Cabinet Hair Care Tools Holder, $13, Amazon
In my opinion, hair tools are often the clunkiest and most difficult things to organize, but this hair tool holder makes it so much easier. It hangs over your cabinet doors with foam backing hooks to prevent damage, and it gives you two compartments and a wire wrap to organize your blow dryer, straightener, brushes, and curling iron. Choose from a variety of sleek finishes, from white to rose gold.
4. This Purse Organizer That Goes Inside Your Bag So Everything Has A Designated Pocket

It also helps to structure bags, and comes in dozens of patterns and colors, as well as three sizes.
5. This T-Shirt Organizer That's Like A File Folder For Your Clothes
EZSTAX Shirt Organizer, $23-$95, Amazon
This strange but effective shirt organizer is like a file drawer for your t-shirts. It's made out of recycled plastic and doubles as both a folding board and a stacking pile. It lets you organize your clothes into neat, easily accessible piles (rather than towers that tip over). The interlocking dividers can be removed, added, or relocated if you need to grab a shirt at the bottom, and they're great for traveling, too.
