If you’re anything like us, then you’ve resolved to make 2021 the year that you finally get organized (after making the same resolution last year, and the year before, and the year before that, of course).
But also, if you’re anything like us, you have no idea where to start.
That’s where having the right tools comes in. Not only can the proper supplies and products make organizing a breeze, but they’ll also make the processâdare we sayâfun.
So after consulting with professional organizers from coast to coast, we’re bringing you the eight products youâll need to finally get your home in tiptop shape in 2021. Go on with your bad organizing selfâand have a blast!
1. Dividers for unruly drawers

Wayfair
Are your dresser drawers overflowing with underwear, socks, and other pieces of clothing you’ll never be able to find? Then you just might need a set of these fabric drawer dividers ($22) from Wayfair.
âThese are amazing in drawers to create compartments and divisions so everything doesnât get all jumbled up,â says Liz Jenkins of A Fresh Space. âThey arenât a permanent installation, but for clients who donât have built-in dividers, theyâre life-changing.â
2. Wheeled storage for cleaning products

Macy’s
You know that corner or cabinet of your house thatâs stuffed to the brim with cleaning products and other household supplies? Well weâre here to bring those babies out into the light (where you can actually find what you need without creating a brand-new mess).
âWe all know that cleaning items come in so many different shapes and sizes,â says Mary Cornetta of Sort and Sweet. âBy having extra tall shelving or racks, you don’t have to worry about what can fit and what can’t.â
Stop stuffing all your cleaning products into a pile, and try this Whitmor three-tiered rolling cart ($40) from Macyâs.
3. Pots and pans lid organizer

Home Depot
Speaking of piles, we didnât forget about the stacks of lids taking up all the space in your kitchen cabinets. Rather than constantly searching for the right lid for your Tupperware containers or pots and pans, you might try using a few of these steel lid organizers ($15) from The Home Depot.
âThis is one of our favorite organizing products because of how versatile it is,â says Cornetta. âWe not only use it to store lidsâwhich makes them easier to grabâbut also baking sheets, cutting boards, trivets, muffin tins, pie plates, and more.â
4. Can racks for your pantry

Kohl’s
Nothing can make a kitchen feel chaotic quite like a precariously arranged tower of canned goodsâespecially during a pandemic, when many of us are guilty of stocking up on shelf-stable foods.
âThese can racks help you to see what you have on hand, rather than blindly buying at the grocery store,â says Cornetta. âThey also give you a limit to the amount of items you can store at once, thus reducing pantry clutter.â
Bring order to your kitchen with one of these six-tier, double-can racks ($60) from Kohlâs.
5. Not-so-lazy Susan

Macy’s
She might sound lazy, but this little organization wonder is anything but.
âLazy Susans are a game changer in the kitchen,â says Hannah Hearin of Home Refreshment. âI love these for baking goods or oils, and the one with dividers is perfect for organizing medicine, school or art supplies, and bathroom essentials as well.â
Do yourself (and your cabinets) a favor, and pick up a two-tier Lazy Susie ($25) from Macyâs.
6. Clutter-defying paper shredder

Kohl’s
One of the best ways to make more space in your home this year is by ditching all that extra paper clutter like old bills and bank statements.
âFor security reasons, it’s a lot better to shred than simply throw out,â says Cornetta. âIf you have the time, or teens who need chores, it can save money rather than bringing it to a shredding company.â
Clear your closets of all that extra paper with this PowerShred paper shredder ($180) from Kohlâs.
7. Irresistible label maker

Lowes
The only reason I donât have one of these in my house is that everything would be labeledâincluding the dog (yes, theyâre actually that fun). If youâre someone with a little more self-controlâand a number of real things to labelâyou canât go wrong with adding one of these Dymo label makers ($25) to your toolbox.
âThese are super helpful for families or roommates,â says Cornetta. âEspecially when multiple people are using the same items and need to know where to find them and put them back.â
8. Handy closet utility rack

Wayfair
Somehow, cleaning supplies such as brooms, mops, and dusters seem to accumulate at rapid speed and, before you know it, theyâre eating up an entire corner of every closet in the house.
No more, we say! Get yourself a few of these Whyalla closet mop and broom organizers ($14) and never compete in ultimate closet wrestling again.
