I thought one of the best parts of scrolling through amazing homes all day would be drooling over the decor, but actually? It's seeing all the ways people organize their stuff to fit into their space, no matter what size.
There are soooo many options for organizing your apartment, and between genius organization hacks and creative products, the options are endless.
But no matter what room in your home you're getting ready to tackle in your next organizing sesh, you're going to have the game changed with one of these 15 organizational products — and they're all under $100.
Kitchen
Why you can trust Real Homes
A kitchen does tend to come with the most storage and organization space already built in when you first arrive in your place, but don't let that fool you. It's way too easy to let your drawers and cabinets get out of hand, and finding ways to organize your dinnertime and meal prep essentials is a serious life-saver when it comes to saving time and keeping your food area clean.
Dreamy cabinets
Size: L16 x W10 x H5
Made from: Acrylic
Price: $32.99
Not being able to use nails or drills in your rental doesn't mean you're stuck with your current shelf situation in the kitchen (or in any other room, for that matter). Instantly double your room for plates, bowls, and drinkware with a riser that you simply sit on your cabinet shelf with the most vertical space. I love the look of larger dinner plates on the bottom, with side plates and bowls sat on the riser shelf.
Cute kitchen corners
Size: L14.75 x W14.75 x H5.9
Made from: Steel
Price: $39
In even the tiniest kitchens, you're sure to have a little corner you haven't used to its full potential. This riser shelf is specifically designed for corners, and is perfect for keeping go-to seasonings (or even your full spice collcetion), olive oil, your daily kitchen cleaning spray, or a delicious-smelling citrus candle on hand by your stovetop, or for setting up beside your microwave as a little drinks station.
Extra fridge storage
Size: L12.6 x W4 x H14
Made from: Steel, ash, and magnets
Price: $52
Speaking of ways to install additional shelving space without making your landlord cry, meet this magnetic unit that automatically sticks onto the side of your fridge. It features hooks for tools, mugs, or cooking utensils, two towel rails, a paper towel holder, and a shelving tier. Keep all of your kitchen essentials in one super-convienent organized spot that you can also easily remove and bring with you on moving day.
Living Room
Your living room is usually the first impression of your home, and its vibe can make or break your mood when you walk in. And guess what? You can have an organized spot for movie nights and hosting without compromising on the oh-so-important aesthetics with the help of these products that'll blend right in (or perfectly pop) with your decor
For storing and stacking
Size: L12.75 x W11.75 x H13.63
Made from: Iron
Price: $29.95
Even if you aren't a magazine fan, this stand is beyond versatile. It's also perfect for organizing your vinyl collection or rolling up and stacking soft and snuggly throw blankets. The modern geometric design and adorable pastel blue shade make it the stuff of Danish pastel dreams, and it serves as both organization and decoration (that's a big win in my books).
For hidden organization
Size: L38.6 x W19.7 x H16.5- 22
Made from: MDF
Price: $82.99
This coffee table is an affordable yet timeless piece that would fit in with any living room decor theme — making it an ideal first coffee table for those of us who are dreaming of adding one to our spaces. It'd be ideal for tucking away extra coasters, books, board games, puzzles, and any living room pieces that don't exactly scream shelf-worthy, but still need to be in reach.
For mix and match storage
Size (in): H8 x L12
Made from: Plastic
Price: from $8 each
These cute and convenient collapsable crates can be stacked on top of each other in any room tbh, but they're especially perfect in the living room at the entryway, or stacked neatly under side tables for some sneaky shoe organization when you're short on space. Mix and match the adorable pastel tones to coordinate with your living room's color scheme if you want them out on display, or opt for a more subtle neutral to keep tucked away.
Bedroom
Your bedroom is your sanctuary, and it's hard to feel relaxed and at ease when you're surrounded by clutter and piles of clean laundry at the end of the day. Maximize your space for clothes, accessories, and in your closet to clear your happy place (and your mind) using these amazing organization finds.
For decluttered closets
Size: H56" x W7.5" x D14"
Made from: Fabric and steel
Price: From $19
This is the exact organizer I used in college, and I brought it with me into every single dorm room, apartment, and shared space I lived in throughout the years. It easily hangs up in any closet, and provides sooo much extra space for stacking up your knitwear, folded denim, comfy co-ord sweats, and even has a hook on the side for your bad hair day baseball hat.
For dreamy jewelry displays
Size: L4.4 x H2.2 x D9.8
Made from: faux leather, velvet, glass
Price: $49.99
Make your collection of gold hoops, dainty bracelets, and necklaces feel extra luxurious with the help of this glass-top organizer from Stackers, which has compartments for earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. With plenty of room for each piece of jewelry, you can be sure that nothing will end up tangled, plus you can easily see and mentally style each piece while you get ready.
Super easy shelf dividers
Size (in): H8 x L12
Made from: Acrylic
Price: $17.99
These renter-friendly acrylic shelf dividers are easy to clip on and ideal for that underrated space at the top of your closet, or any shelf in your bedroom. Create perfectly stacked sections of knitwear, sweats and cozy clothes, and big cuddly scarves by using each divided section for a different type of clothing, or to store accessories like bags and shoes in a clean and aesthetic way.
Bathroom
Let's be real: bathrooms don't get a lot of love when it comes to decorating, and they're probably the last room in your home you think of organizing, too. But with the help of these adorable and affordable products, you'll have a spa-worthy soothing space to unwind in by your next Sunday reset.
For makeup and skincare lovers
Size: H11.8 x D9.06
Made from: Acrylic
Price: $16.99
This is the exact rotating and adjustable organizer I swear by for keeping my aesthetically pleasing skincare products on display and easy to reach. I love that it can be totally customized to cater to the varying heights of my toners and moisturizers, and also has an open top in one section for taller bottles or pump tops. I tend to organize each shelf by type of product, with a section each for my face masks, sleep products, serums, and toners.
Your new bathroom bestie
Size (in): L17.72 x W13.78 x H57.09
Made from: MDF, bamboo
Price: $69
This shelf right here is my personal bathroom hero when it comes to organization and displaying my products in the cutest way. It fits perfectly in the awkward area in front of my toilet between my bathtub and towel rack and has completely transformed our bathroom. I kid you not, even my tampons look nice on this ladder shelf, which I style with little storage bins, glass jars with cork lids, and pretty scented candles and a faux potted plant.
For the best shower shelfies
Size: W5 x H15 x D3
Made from: Acrylic
Price: $36.99
This adhesive shower organizer has gone viral on TikTok for a reason. ShowerGems are so popular thanks to their diagonal slots. These easily let you slot in your shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel or cleanser and are beyond aesthetically pleasing, plus it has convenient spots for your loofah, razor, bar of soap hair mask, or shower brush.
Desk
Whether your desk is set up in your bedroom, living room, or you're blessed with a home office, having an organized workspace is crucial for being your most productive and creative self. If you're living in a small space, your desk probably also doubles as a vanity, so organization solutions are even more important to keep work separate from your self-care.
To clean up those cables
Size (in): H4.37 x W5.16 x D12.99
Made from: Plastic
Price: $23.99
Do you ever finish cleaning and organizing your workspace just to end up feeling like it's still not the cleanest it could be? It's probs because your laptop, lamp, and phone charger cords are beyond tangled, bringing unnecessary chaos to your WFH mood. Having your cords organized and tucked away may seem like a small step, but trust. It makes the world of a difference, especially if you feel most inspired surrounded by more minimal vibes.
For WFH and GRWM essentials
Size: W12.25 x L6.13 x H3.13
Made from: Acrylic
Price: $14.99
If you also use your desk as a GRWM space, hear me out: a nail polish holder is the organization item you never knew you needed, but won't be able to live without. Ofc, you can use it for nail polish and other beauty products, but it's also ideal for separating pieces of stationary from skincare, and storing and displaying your most splurge-worthy pairs of sunnies. It's beyond versatile, and allows you to incorporate the clean look of acrylic into your space.
For inspiring desk displays
Size: W22 x H22 X D4.75
Made from: Steel, fiberboard
Price: $51.49
While it's def versatile enough to work in pretty much any room, this pegboard from IKEA is beyond ideal for installing just above your desk or your WFH space. Create an inspiring moodboard, hang up your headphones, and store your pens, highlighters, and office time essentials in the built-in storage and organization compartments.
