Over-the-Door Hanging Organizer

Marie Kondo Rope Bin
COURTESY OF THE CONTAINER STORE
"The last time I moved, I bought a whole bunch of these little soft-sided baskets, and even a year-plus later they're some of my favorite organizers. I've used them on closet shelves, on bookshelves, and even as low-profile organizers for under a media console: Their soft sides mean they can fit into just-too-small spaces, and they're super lightweight, so getting them down from high shelves doesn't feel perilous. My favorite use for them so far has been to organize hats and winter gear: I got a basket for me and one for my partner, and now our winter hats and gloves and other cold-weather gear is neatly sorted and (thanks to the open-top build) always easy to put away. Plus, the color-blocking on these is really cute, so I don't feel bad about leaving these baskets out on display!"

Countertop Glass Makeup Organizer
COURTESY OF THE CONTAINER STORE
"I have these glass stacking containers on my bathroom counter and they've changed the way I organize my daily makeup essentials. I love how classy and pretty the containers are, and the grooved inserts make it easy to keep my blush, bronzer, and powders neatly organized and within reach. If you're looking to organize on a budget, you can order the inserts separately for just $10. I actually grabbed an extra one for my vanity drawer; it's perfect for keeping lip balm, mascara, and brushes from rolling around."

Or use them for office supplies under a desk or within a pantry to keep perishables tidy."

"I installed a row of these shelves on the back wall of my home office and it's totally transformed the space. Now, all my cords and electronics are contained in matching baskets, books and magazines have a designated shelf space, and the office supplies I don't use every day aren't cluttering my desk anymore. I'm very sensitive to visual clutter so I've loved being able to store everything within reach without having it strewn across my desk."
