Drawer Dividers
Drawer dividers may set boundaries to keep everything in place, but their handiness knows none.

Wherever you place these handy helpers, they’re sure to divide and conquer in a way that makes your space—and your life—more streamlined. Available at The Container Store; from $5.99.

Bedside Storage Tray
How many times have you gotten out of bed to locate your misplaced phone, reading glasses, lip balm, or medication? Keep everything in one place with the bedside storage tray by HappyDavid. With an easy-to-clean leather texture, the tray is both functional and attractive. The small structure fits perfectly on a dresser or nightstand, and convenient corner snaps allow you to quickly assemble the bowl, or lay it flat for storage. Available on Amazon; $8.99.
On a Roll
Ah, the question of where to put the bulk packaging of toilet paper rolls you picked up from Costco. When bathroom space is high-value real estate saved for shower necessities and other toiletries, the paper goods often end up in an inconvenient hall closet. Keep two rolls stashed where you need them with an ingenious dispenser that hooks directly to your toilet tank. You’ll never get stuck without a spare square again! Available at Amazon; $8.99.
Clever Caddy
Beef up storage by your bedside and save floorspace simultaneously. Sure, if you already have a nightstand (or two), your bedroom probably wouldn’t benefit from additional storage. But if there’s limited square footage, or if you’d rather not spend on new furniture, a canvas caddy like this one stands to become the problem-solver you’ve been searching for. Simply slip the fabric flap over your boxspring and let the weight of your mattress hold the product securely in place. Now, in order to retrieve the essentials you keep on hand for mornings and nights, it’s unnecessary to do anything more strenuous than roll over and reach out your arm. Available on Amazon; $9.45.
Loop-the-Loop
Irregular in size yet essential to any wardrobe, scarves, ties, and belts often frustrate those who try and fail to maintain an organized, clutter-free closet. The solution? Try a specially designed closet hanger, intended to keep clothing accessories tidy, visible, and easily accessible. With loops of varying sizes, 18 in all, the hanger fits on a standard closet rod, not only making it easy to corral otherwise unwieldy items but also helping you dress and get out the door that much more quickly on a hectic morning. Available on Amazon; $10.94.
Pyramid Scheme
If your fondness for icy-cold drinks leaves little room in the fridge for last night’s leftovers, remember this: Storing soda, beer, and other beverages satisfactorily requires the efficient use of space. Enter Tifan’s Easy Stacker. Simple in design—nothing more than a slip-proof silicone strip, inset with ridges and cutouts—the organizer enables you to stack bottles and cans on top of one another. That way, you can capitalize on the full height of the refrigerator shelf and free up a surprising amount of space in the process. Available on

Tie Game
Day by day, our lives seem only to get more and more enmeshed in a tangle of cords and cables. Of course, we love our gadgets and rely on them for productivity, amusement, and everything in between. But each device needs to plug into the wall to operate or recharge, necessitating a bevy of unsightly, tricky-to-keep-track-of gadget peripherals. Here’s a hint: You can organize them all, quickly and easy, with a set of cable ties inspired by the familiar shape and texture of common shoelaces. Embedded with bendable steel and coated with grippy silicone, ties keep cords contained and right where you need them, out of your way. Available at The Container Store; $9.99 per pack of four.
