For the Kitchen
Let’s start with the countertops that you can barely find underneath all the mail, snack wrappers, and various other items that seem to live there permanently. Before you can even clean them, you’ll need to remove all the stuff first, and you can do that with vertical storage. This microwave rack adds extra shelving and hooks to your counter space. (It even has a side compartment for a cutting board!) For tedious dish-washing that takes more than five minutes, make sure to invest in these plush anti-fatigue mats that better support your feet. Are your cabinets struggling, too? Canned goods and cups—like Owalas, Stanleys, and Yetis—are notoriously the hardest kitchen items to store, so we’ve included Overstock upgrades to solve those frustrations, too.

For Your Office
If your devices are constantly low-battery, everything you need to charge them should be on hand. Keep this side table nearby; its additional surface space keeps your desk clutter-free, and it includes a charging station on its backside. For those who spend hours at a standing desk, your knees and feet may not forgive you. Add this anti-fatigue floor mat to your office floor for more support, and while you’re at it, use this LED desk lamp by your computer, too. It brightens up your workspace to keep you from squinting at the computer all day long.

For the Bathroom and Laundry Room
A common complaint in the bathroom is lack of space—storage space and otherwise—so you can only combat that problem by going up. This over-the-toilet storage rack provides eight additional tiers of storage space, and even has a convenient spot for your trash can. If you’re tired of the dryer shrinking your clothes but don’t have enough room to air them out, this drying rack mounts to the wall and completely folds down when it’s not in use. Oh, and remember that perpetual puddle of laundry detergent we talked about? This two-pack of laundry room organizers provides designated storage space for laundry pods and dryer sheets, too, so you can skip the spills altogether.

For the Garage
Ah, the garage. It might just be the “room” in the house that’s most deserving of an upgrade, as it’s the “problem child” for most of us. If it’s always packed to the brim with random stuff, the right organizers can cut back on that clutter. This two-pack of stackable organizers can be used for almost anything, but the organizers’ wide mouths make them perfect for holding garbage bags. For families that receive a water delivery every few weeks, this three-tiered water jug rack will forever change how you store them. Or, if you treat your garage more like a tool shed, this $20 power tool organizer will immediately situate your collection. There’s a dedicated space for every kind of tool, too, and it even has hooks for up to four power drills. Plus, it’s actually a floating shelf, so it makes use of otherwise neglected wall space, which keeps the garage feeling and looking clutter-free.
