Best Organization Items for Spring Cleaning, According to Editors
The winter months really have a way of driving you crazy, don’t they? Maybe it’s all the time spent indoors, or the clutter left behind from a busy holiday season, but by the time mid-March (slowly) rolls up, we’re desperate for any semblance of order—at least, we ELLE editors are. As such, spring cleaning has been a hot topic of conversation around the office, and now, we’re opening the dialogue to our dearest readers.
If you, too, are afflicted by a precariously stacked pyramid of water bottles, jammed pajama drawers, and borderline dangerous undersink cabinets, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Below, find hand-picked staff recommendations for tools to organize your closet, kitchen, bathroom, and more. Heads up: We’re really into making use of vertical space.
For the Closet
It wouldn’t be a proper story on organization without a dedicated section for your closet, now, would it? You’re reading ELLE, after all. And who better to take advice on the matter than our team of fashion editors? From simple dividers and space-saving hangers to keep those stacks of sweaters, jeans, and T-shirts in place to an organizer specifically for your jewelry and other accessories, we have you covered.

For the Drawers & Cabinets
Having an abundance of cabinets can be a blessed thing. That said, it’s easy for things to get lost in the sauce of, well, everything. Rather than pulling out everything inside just to reach that single item, opt for something that keeps everything organized within reach. Trust, you’ll be thanking us when you don’t have an avalanche of cleaning supplies crashing down or a mountain of container lids to dig through.

For the Bathroom
Organizing your bathroom necessities—from your beloved beauty products to cleaning supplies and other essentials—in a way that feels aesthetically pleasing is easier said than done, but it’s far from impossible when you have the right supplies. From an editor-approved beauty organizer and a hot tools holder to a tower to hold that extra toilet paper, your bathroom will feel like it’s in tip-top shape in no time at all.

For the Kitchen
Unless you’re blessed with expansive space, the kitchen is the final boss of home organization. That is, it’s the trickiest—and most impactful. At the risk of sounding redundant, our picks once again capitalize on vertical space. A stand-alone drawer to place underneath any countertop appliance (air fryer, espresso machine, microwave, etc.) and a simple shelf to add storage around the stove are two innovative examples. If your fridge is magnetic, make use of that, too! Just think of all the space you could save by removing that knife block.

For the Fridge
Whether you’ve been dreaming of a Michelin-star chef-approved fridge for a while or you’re simply feeling inspired after binge-watching The Bear, you have every reason to keep your fridge as organized as one that belongs in a restaurant. Gone are the days of tossing those veggies in with the plastic bags that carried them home—your fridge is about to be a sight for sore eyes with these.

For the Whole House
The most failsafe home purchases are the versatile ones, the kind that are rife with potential uses. For example, these Amazon storage baskets look great on display, but they’re also safe to use in your freezer. Adhesive acrylic shelves can go, quite literally, anywhere, including inside your shower—but we suggest opting for drainage holes if you’re taking that route. And we love these stackable window boxes because you can actually see what’s inside of them.
