Home organizers are a great way to organize your belongings to maximize your space — whether that’s a dorm room, apartment, or house. These practical organizers will help you seem as though you have your shit together, even if you don’t (because same). You’ll be able to rest easy knowing your place doesn’t look like a tornado just blew through the night before.
An Organizer for Your Shoes
Misslo Over-the-Door Shoe Organizer, $13.99* on Amazon
One of the best purchases I made for my college dorm room was a shoe organizer — which could be because I literally have over 30 pairs of shoes, but oh well. This particular organizer has 24 breathable, mesh pockets so it’ll hold 12 pairs of shoes. Organizers like these can be hung on any door (although be prepared that your door won’t fully close because of the hooks). It could also be used for things like holding bathroom accessories or hair products.
An Organizer for Your Kitchen Supplies
AmazonBasics Shelving Unit, $22.87* on Amazon
The AmazonBasics Shelving Unit is great no matter what stage of life you’re in — whether you’re living at home, a college dorm room, your first apartment, or even your own house. It can blend in well with your kitchen or office decor as well as hold items in your garage. If it were me, I would use this to hold non-perishable food items in my dorm room. The steel construction makes it durable so it can hold even the heaviest textbooks or a microwave.
An Organizer for Your Cabinets
DecoBros Sliding Cabinet Organizer, $24.87* on Amazon
Organize any cabinet with this convenient sliding basket organizer. Its design makes it perfect for the pantry, under the sink, or on your countertop. I would recommend using this in dorm bathrooms to organize all your toiletries while also leaving space for your roommate.

To clean, just wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth.
Another Organizer for Odds and Ends
Closet Maid Horizontal Organizer, $12.65* on Amazon
This product is great because it’s sophisticated, not too large, but can also hold a substantial amount of items. It could be used to hold shoes at the bottom of your closet, textbooks besides your bed, or t-shirts or other clothing. The versatility and style of this organizer is what makes it so unique — it’s also available in black. It’s also easy to assemble and made from laminated wood so it’s more durable than a common light plastic organizer.
An Organizer for Your Hair Tools

An Organizer for Your Clothes

If you’re needing to save on space because of tiny dorm closets or you just want to be a little more organized, I highly recommend these layer hangers.

Because they’re stainless steel, they’re extremely durable and can hold your even your heaviest clothes.
