1. Neat Method Everyday Hangers
The Neat Method recently released a new product—the Everyday Hangers—and they may be matte black, but they are golden. Available in three convenient sizes—Adult, 0-7 and 8-11—the Everyday Hangers save closet space and keep everything uniform. Sold in sets of 25 and rubberized to gently grip your clothing (so that it doesn’t fall off the hanger every five minutes), the Everyday Hangers are strong enough to hold even your heaviest sweaters and pant sets. Plus, they’re totally Instagrammable for that necessary before-and-after photo opp you know you want to post.

2. CQ Acrylic 4-Piece Shelf Dividers
3. New Method Everyday Hanger Clips
A must-have accessory compatible with Neat Method’s Everyday Hangers, the Everyday Hanger Clips are durable, functional and sleek. Available in matte black or white, these clips transform a regular hanger into a personalized situation for just about any piece of clothing or accessory that needs special attention. Simply add two clips (one box comes with five sets of clips for 10 total), and voila—you can now easily hang your shorts, pants or skirts.

4. Marie Kondo Ink Black Serene Matte Metal Accessory Hanger
If organizing your closet doesn’t just include organizing clothes but also means sorting other random accessories, then the Marie Kondo Ink Black Serene Matte Metal Accessory Hanger is a must. Exclusive to The Container Store for Marie Kondo’s organizational line, this specialty hanger is made of aluminum with natural beech wood accents but also contains a deeply curved shape that helps random-shaped accessories stay put. You don’t want them falling off, right?! Ideal for scarves, belts and other accessories that tend to slip off a regular old hanger, the Accessory Hanger also saves you a ton of space.
Buy at The Container Store for $4.99.
5. Light It! by Fulcrum Anywhere Sensor Light
The Light It! by Fulcrum Anywhere Sensor Light may not help you organize your trickiest items, but it will light up your closet like it’s the Fourth of July. No, seriously, great lighting is key—otherwise, you can’t see your stuff!—and if you’re renting a closet-less apartment or otherwise dealing with a makeshift storage situation, it’s helpful to know you can always add your own lights. Battery-powered, motion-activated and super bright, you can also detach the light itself from its bracket if need be.
6. MyGift Metal Wire Hat Display Stands
7. Shoe Slotz Space Saver
8. 5-Section Boobie Trap Organizer
Ah, the Boobie Trap. The best bra-related invention since the sports bra, this organizing solution completely cleans out your previous bra drawer. No more cups and straps flying every which way (because bras can never seem to just neatly fold into each other???). Depending on the styles and sizes, the 5-Section Boobie Trap Organizer can store up to 10 bras and accommodates bras up to a D cup. Not only does the Boobie Trap organize your collection of brassieres, but it also perfectly preserves their shape and even protects against snags. Each section snaps together to create an even line of storage. (Pro tip: We highly recommend color-coordinating them in rainbow order, should you have different colors of bras!)
Buy at The Container Store for $29.99.
9. Poeland Honeycomb Drawer Divider Organizer
10. iDesign Clear Stackable Closet Bins
iDesign Clear Stackable Closet Bins are always a good idea. Durable, convenient and able to stand the test of time, you’ll never have to worry about your closet bins going out of style. Nor will you forget what’s inside each bin, thanks to the clear aesthetic that keeps all your stuff visible. Perfect for coat closets (store gloves, scarves, hats and doggie bags), linen closets (keep all your extra toiletries in there!) and your clothing closet (purses, scarves, accessories—you name it!), these closet bins are only made more convenient by their stackability. The integration of side handles gives easy access.
