Stackable bins are an excellent space-saving solution all throughout the house. Sarah Anthony, founder of Organize & Design, uses these in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, playroom, office and beyond. "They’re stylish, versatile and functional," she says.
27 Gallon Storage Bin, 4-pack
Sizable storage bins like these are useful for stashing away holiday decorations, off-season clothing and so much more. Kristina Pinkerton, founder of Organizing Huntsville, finds them "perfect for keeping items organized and easy to access while protecting them from dust and moisture." Their stackable setup will help you maximize precious garage, basement or closet space.
Amanda Bernal, founder of Peace by Piece Home Services, is also a fan of this storage set: "Not only do these black and yellow bins boast quality and versatility, but the price point is unbeatable."
Clear Storage Bin with Buckles, 6-pack
If you prefer transparent storage bins, Kenika Williams recommends this six-pack. "The grooves on the lids also make stacking easier to optimize storage space," says the founder of Tidied by K.
Flocked Hangers - Two 50-packs
Tame an overflowing closet with slim velvet hangers that offer a streamlined look. "They glide easily on a closet rod and take up much less space than bulky plastic hangers," says Perri Kersh, the founder of Neat Freak, of this black set.

Indoor Wire Shelving Rack
Corral bins, boxes and more on this utilitarian wire shelf that's built to do some heavy lifting (each individual shelf can accommodate up to 350 lbs!). "This versatile storage piece can be used in garages, storage closets, sheds, attics, basements and more," Kersh says. Plus, she adds, the shelves are height-adjustable, making it easy to customize for your needs.
6-Tier Wire Shelving Rack
Need something even more heavy duty? This six-tier unit can accommodate 1,000 lbs. per shelf and it's on wheels, making it easy to move around a space as needed. Raychel Klein, founder of RayBayBay, often uses these in garages and basements. "They're great for overstock and bulk items, as well as sports gear, tools and outdoor supplies," she says.

Anna Napier has come to rely on the OXO brand often and appreciates this versatile set of storage containers.

Recycled Star Bottom Trash Bags, 40-45 gal
Bernal often goes through six sizable trash bags per organizing session. "As we work with clients to optimize their homes, such a high volume of superfluous items are leaving and large, durable bags are indispensable,"she says.
Room Divider with 8 Storage Bins
Amy Delaplain and Cynthia Lindsey, co-founders of Its Arranged, swear by this room divider when working on spaces like playrooms, children's rooms and closets. "Each of the eight bins offers dedicated space for different categories, making it easier to keep items organized and prevent clutter from accumulating," Delaplain says. Better yet, she adds, the low height (the shelf can be positioned vertically or horizontally) makes it a breeze for young ones to clean up after themselves on a day-to-day basis.
