ICYMI: The team at Real Homes is doing a deep dive into all of the organization products you need this spring, to get ur sh*t shorted. That includes drawer organizers for your kitchen because I know that your cutlery drawer is currently a mess. Mine was too — until I bought this genius $11.99 kitchen drawer organizer from Amazon. I actually added it to my basket on a whim, while ordering a few other must-haves, so I didn't really think twice about it. But it ended up becoming the star of my cooking space. My utensil drawer went from absolute chaos to being the only place in my kitchen that I actually manage to keep organized. Total game-changer.

Not only does the utensil organizer make use of every inch of space in your drawer, but I found that it left tons of space for other utensils — like my six (totally necessary) lighters for candles. While it's a breeze to use, you'll want to actually follow the labels and put specific utensils in their designated spots. If you put the forks in where the knives are supposed to go, your drawer will get stuck closed. Don't do what I did or you'll end up with some bent AF cutlery. Otherwise, this is a genius design that stacks your cutlery instead of wasting precious drawer space. It makes it so easy to put your silverware away after a dishwasher cycle, too. I actually influenced my mom to buy this for her cutlery drawer, so if it's mom-approved, you know what to do...

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. Along with my team, I'm here to review all of the products you might be considering buying for your home. As someone who lives in a flat with a small amount of storage space to work with, and with two indoor pets to clean up after, I am forever searching for stylish yet functional appliances that won't blemish my decor if I can't fit them in a cupboard. I love decorating my living room for each season, while my other hobbies include drinking a decent cup of coffee, going on park walks with my dog and enjoying an Instagrammable brunch with my husband.
