Each pack includes a travel hand pump to pull the air out, but you can also use your vacuum!

Read BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer's praise for these space savers:

"The plastic is thick, the bags rarely re-inflate, and I feel confident that everything is safe and secure when stored inside. When you take things out, just give anything a quick steam if super wrinkled and it's ready to wear! Take it from this Virgo, my closet game is forever changed!!! Seasonal closet transitions = a breeze with these."

Promising review: "Perfect for small spaces! I lack much storage space in my kitchen. This shelf is perfect because it’s so compact but has a good amount of extra storage space. It was very easy to assemble, well made, and perfect for spices and cans of food! I think I might purchase another one for my bathroom toiletries and things like that. Very happy with this purchase!" —Liana Nicole

It comes with drywall fasteners for you to hang it up!

Promising review: "I moved into a new house and I was lucky enough to get the bedroom with no closet. I was destined for doom. That is until I found this great product. I purchased two bars and placed one above the other. I couldn't be happier with the result. Each bar holds a significant amount of weight. I packed each bar full with heavy clothes and it continues to prove how sturdy it is!" —Sasha

Get it from Amazon for $26.95.

Promising review: "Having no place to store my shoes was driving me nuts, and I was always tripping over shoes. I wasn’t sure if the pockets in the organizer would be large enough for my Crocs, but they fit perfectly when I put the shoes in heel first. I was able to get two pairs of sneakers in the last two sets of pockets, as well. The pockets seem to be well-made, and I’m confident that this shoe organizer will last." —A. Roach

It holds five toothbrushes, and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube.

Promising review: "You need one! I love this! So easy to install and holds nice and tight to the wall. The toothbrushes sit nicely in the holder and are easy for my kids to grab. The two gargle cups are nice, but we added little Dixie cups to ours instead. The toothpaste function works really well and isn’t messy for our kids. I highly recommend this!" —Sarah C.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Good price, good quality, good appearance, good functionality, plenty of clearance around the bowl in all directions, etc. Lots of other reviews talked about the time required to assemble and that there are so many pieces...if you can put together ANYTHING from Ikea, then you can put this together. Instructions were amazing, and parts were very organized and clearly laid out in individual bags. Each instruction showed you how many pieces were needed for the step (think Lego instructions)." —Bennett Wetherald

Get it from Amazon for $82.99 (available in white and espresso).

Knapp's Knots is a San Diego-based Etsy shop creating gorgeous macramé home decor and storage solutions.

Promising review: "Gaining tiny house counter space has never been cuter! Better than I expected and it included all hardware! Love it!" —Mariko Kinikin

Get it from Knapp's Knots on Etsy for $28.90+ (available in two sizes and in 11 colors).

Promising review: "Blown away at the space these create! I have so many shoes and these are a godsend. They’re a little hard to click together, but as long as you pick what height you want, they are extremely sturdy. I have wedged sneakers that are really heavy, and these hold them up and don’t wobble. For the price and the number of holders it comes with I have not a single regret! My closet is so much more organized now!" —Jenny Sunga-Adame

I've owned these bed risers since college and they are still in use today on my NYC apartment bed. They are VITAL for creating additional under-bed storage and can be stacked to create even more height. I haven't exactly been precious with my set and they have survived many, many moves and look pretty much the same as the day I got them.

The Roll Keeper is a Kelso, Washington-based small biz owned by Traci. Traci has been crafting for over 40 years and created her roll storage design to help organize vinyl, soon realizing that it was the perfect organizational solution for much more. Her shop has versions for wrapping paper and various craft supplies.

This handy organizer solver BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower's folding woes:

"Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed because I have a teeny tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased a product from!"

It's heat resistant up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and can be tossed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Promising review: "It is incredibly versatile and a wonderful addition to our kitchen. So far I have used it for drying large items over the sink, filling a pot when the sink was already full, and as a counter trivet for a hot pan, and it performs beautifully in all these roles. The metal rods are strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy items, long enough to span our sink from multiple angles, and, best of all, they roll up for easy storage when not in use. All around a great kitchen tool, and I'll never be without one again." —T. Eicher

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I’m buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!" —Lynn Blue

Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99.

This set includes four bins: a six-cell (for scarves and ties), an eight-cell (for underwear, briefs, and ties), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks).

Promising review: "No matter how neatly I fold my bras and underwear, they always seem to become a big jumble in the drawer. These organizers are perfect for keeping everything in place, and you won't forget about those items you own that end up buried at the back." —M. Hanson

It works by holding the cover of the bottom book!

Promising review: "These are my favorite decorating items ever. Purchased four years ago in medical school, and they have held up over many moves." —Susan Giampalmo

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $24.29+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I spent quite some time looking for a storage cart for my towels and etc. in the bathroom. I came across this product and decided to give it a shot. The installation process was much quicker than I anticipated. No tool was needed throughout the entire process, and I assembled this product within minutes. Overall, this is a great product if you are looking for a storage cart that is sturdy, light, and inexpensive. Definitely recommend it!" —Nikki

Get it from Amazon for $38.97 (available in six colors).

All the instructions and mounting hardware to install are included!

Promising review: "Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage, and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down was able to fit them neatly in the holder. I liked it so much that I'm going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed. The installation kit was very helpful and was able to install without using a drill." —Rob C

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "These are perfect to organize my lower cabinets! I don't have much storage space, and these double what I do have." —MEMEJUJU

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.98 (available in black and white).

Promising review: "I actually am using them in my two outdoor sheds so I can take advantage of the unused upper portion. They come partially assembled and are fairly easy to install. I chose not to use the large lag screws that came with it and chose to use a heavy-duty shorter wood screw. Because the rafters in the shed are only 2x4s, and I wasn't putting anything too heavy on the lift, that was an option. It is made so well and can be basically adjusted to any angle you have. I even hung some yard equipment from the loft. It can handle a bit of weight but be sure to follow the directions if you will be loading it up." —J.F.

I brought waaaayyyyy too many clothes to college (Fashion merchandising major. Sue me.), and these were the ONLY way to get all my clothes to fit in the limited closet space provided in a college dorm. It's certainly not as nice as having all your clothes hung on the rack normally because you lose some visibility, and clothes on the bottom can be slightly difficult to access, but if you're desperate for space, they are a true lifesaver. They're super sturdy, and I never had any issues with them breaking in all four years of college.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these bins. They fit great in my cubes, and they have double handles, so if you put the cube in backward, it does not matter. These are nice and sturdy and hold my belongings really well. There is a thick cardboard cloth-covered bottom that fits into each cube, which ensures that it stays upright and solid. I am very pleased with these and will most likely buy more when I purchase another cube organizer." —kelsey

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $24.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "The assembly was easy, and the look and overall quality are top-notch. Plus, it looks great in the bathroom." —Bill Dugan

Get it from Wayfair for $72.99 (originally $179.99).

Promising review: "This organizer is exactly what I was looking for. All of my spices are now neatly organized in my cupboard. Nice and sturdy and assembled in less than 10 minutes. Very pleased with this purchase." —Marion Tatro

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

StoveShelf is a small business founded by Scott Fleming after he struggled with storage space in his small Milwaukee apartment. After a couple of beers, he quickly realized that the entire top of the stove was wasted space, and the magnetic StoveShelf was born.

Promising review: "There was no setup...Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised, allowing air to flow underneath and preventing the shelf from heating up. The sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small — my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course, it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end, so that's easy enough to do-comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Calvin Laszakovits

Get it from Amazon for $24.47 (available in three finishes).

One BuzzFeed editor swears by this shower curtain — read her Maytex shower curtain review if you're ready to break up with your shower caddy.

Promising review: "I saw this in an online article about getting organized and decided to give it a shot. I absolutely love it. A friend laughed when I described it as life-changing, but it really is! I love that there is no more clutter, but another plus that never occurred to me is how much easier cleaning the tub is. Not only because it's already clear but also because there are no little rust rings that usually come from bottles being left on the edge of the tub. I don't know why all shower curtains aren't made this way!" —Valerie

Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in clear and gray).

Promising review: "This ottoman is exactly what my space needed. It is not too large or overbearing and fits right into the room without taking up too much space. The storage is so much bigger than it looks! I have a small house with not a great amount of storage, so I am always looking to increase my space." —Elizabeth

Get it from Wayfair for $49.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I really love it. Living in a shoebox in NY, I constantly look for storage solutions. This design is incredible. It takes up so little footprint, fits perfectly between the toilet bowl and the wall, and is very functional. I hate having to go to the deli store to get a couple of rolls of toilet paper at a time. Now I can get 12 rolls at a time, though if you get the larger rolls, they won't come through the hole on the bottom. You will have to retrieve the larger rolls by removing the top, which is not a big deal. I put a wonderful Olavie diffuser and body scrub on the top, and it looks really nice. It's a must-have for any small apartment living!" —Ken H

Get it from Amazon for $56.

Promising review: "Easy to build after you figure out which way the hooks go. Pay attention to the direction of the hooks on the picture; then, it'll be easy and quick to assemble. I use it on the carpet under my bed, and my shoes are more organized. I like this way better than the cloth material shoe rack." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $27.46.

Nayamade is an adorable German small business that makes the cutest crocheted storage products.

Promising review: "I already have a smaller one of these hanging baskets and find them just great. The big one now hangs in the hallway and keeps my gloves and pulse warmers at hand — very practical and decorative! Thank you very much!" —Beate

Get it from Nayamade on Etsy for $16.19+ (available in three sizes and a wide variety of colors).

Designed for lightweight objects, this shelf holds up to 3.3 pounds.

Promising review: "I freaking love these things. I needed to clean out a spice drawer and was looking for something clean, sleek, and modern to hold my eight or so most used spices within reach. These have a really strong magnet on the back and hold four tiny mason jars of spices beautifully on the side of my fridge. I bought two and have four jars in each one. I could probably stuff eight jars in one rack, but I like them spread out a bit. This is just so much cuter than anything else I found. These look way more expensive than they are, and this is cheaper than the price on Food52, where I originally found them. Highly recommend!" —Alyssa M.

Get it from Amazon for $25.

Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in a pack of two).

Holistic Habitat is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based, woman-owned small biz co-founded by Kristin and Rachael whose two major goals were to give back and source with a conscience by curating fair trade home goods and donating proceeds to a wide range of charitable organizations.

Promising review: "My new favorite kitchen piece! I've needed this my entire life." —Rachael W.
