As a lifestyle editor, I cover organizing trends and finds daily — and people always ask me what the best kitchen organizers on the market are. Every home is different, but the basics generally remain the same: You’ve got cabinets, shelves, and drawers that could use a little help keeping things separated and easy-to-find. While it might seem like a daunting task trying to get your kitchen in tip-top shape, it’s actually a lot easier than you might think.

I’ve personally tested dozens of different cabinet and kitchen organizers, so I always have a few go-tos I recommend (but more on that below). Luckily, my colleagues at The Kitchn and Apartment Therapy also have tons of favorites they’ve sworn by for years — and below, you’ll learn how they use them, and where you can find them. 

The Best Cabinet Organizers

Kitchen Details Countertop Shelf Organizer
$14$13

“I have three of this style of wire shelf organizer,” The Kitchn’s groceries and shopping director, Mara Weinraub, says. “They basically double my shelf space in my cabinets, which is clutch in an NYC apartment kitchen. I use it to stack dinnerware (plates underneath and bowls on top), and also small cookware and food storage containers (cookware on the bottom and glass Pyrex on the top)."

YouCopia StoreMore Adjustable Bakeware Rack
$20

“This bakeware rack has been a game changer for my cooling racks, baking pans, skillet lids, and cutting boards!” The Kitchn Executive Editor Lauren Miyashiro says. “It’s nothing pretty, but it's on a cabinet above my fridge so you don't really see the plastic part. Nice to be able to adjust the dividers!” Learn more about the smart organizer here.

Joseph Joseph DoorStore Chop Cutting Board Set
$29$20

“This sleek, compact cutting board set and organizer are perfect for saving space and putting the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors to good use,” The Kitchn’s senior lifestyle editor, Quinn Fish, says. “I recommend it to anyone in a tiny kitchen. Plus, the cutting boards are so high-quality (for cheap!), I ended up donating my other bulky cutting boards!” Read my full review here.

YouCopia Crazy Susan Adjustable Two-Tier Turntable
$17

“If you’ve never experienced the magic of a lazy Susan, you’re missing out,” Fish says. “I have one of these two-tier turntables on my (tiny) kitchen counter and one inside my kitchen cabinets, and they’re great for keeping everything accessible without wasting any space. It’s also adjustable, which means it can work for any space.” Learn more about the lazy Susan here.

OXO Good Grips 11-Inch Lazy Susan Turntable

“I’ve had a few of these lazy Susans around my kitchen for over three years,” says Patty Catalano, food editor. “One is holding the spices I use the most, and another spins with bottles of vinegar. I love how stable this lazy Susan is and how smoothly it turns.” Learn more about the best lazy Susans here.

The Best Drawer Organizers

Vtopmart 25-Piece Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers Set
$21$19

“I mixed and matched from this clear organizer set to create spaces that would hold like utensils and gadgets,” says contributor Rebecca Jones, who used these bins to declutter her drawers after a pro organizer recommended them. “I really like these organizers for a couple of reasons: First, the organizers are clear, so you can see through them, and there is a nice aesthetically light feel to the drawer. Second, they have these little gripping sticker feet on the bottom. This feature helps them to stay put when sliding the drawer open and closed.” Learn more about them here.

$19 at Amazon
Expandable Bamboo Flatware Tray
$30

“My two kitchen drawers were an absolute mess before I got a set of these bamboo flatware organizers,” Apartment Therapy Lifestyle Editor Lizzy Francis says. “The best part is that they are huge — it expands almost the entire width of my drawer — so I can use it for everything: chopsticks, traditional flatware, measuring spoons, small kitchen gadgets — and it's really high-quality looking.”

$30 at Crate & Barrel
Bamboo Drawer Organizers, Set of 2
$20

“Spring loaded and adjustable, these chic bamboo drawer organizers are easy to install and look like they were custom-made to fit your drawers,” says contributor Meg Asby, who tested out three best-selling drawer organizers. “Organize everything from kitchen utensils to flatware to reusable straws, and say goodbye to kitchen clutter.” Learn more about her tests here.

The Best Spice Organizers

Copco Non-Skid 3-Tier Spice Organizer
$6

“I have one of these spice organizers that's been a game-changer,” says Alexandra Foster, The Kitchn’s editorial assistant. “Before, I couldn't see everything I had so I would constantly have to take a bunch of spices out of my cabinet to find the one I was looking for. But now they're all super organized and I can see exactly what I have and grab it!” Apartment Therapy’s Home Projects Editor, Sarah Everett, has the same one: “I'd been looking for a tiered rack that would fit in my narrow cabinet because I've been wanting to organize my spices alphabetically. (Nerdy, I know, but time-saving!). This was the perfect thing for the job.”

$6 at Amazon
Umbra Bellwood 3-Tier Spice Shelf
$25

“Honestly, I love this spice rack because it’s not only pretty, but you can use it all over the home,” Fish says. “It’s adjustable and expandable, and while you can line up your spices or pantry goods to keep them easy-to-grab, I also have one for my perfumes, lotions, and other small daily beauty essentials.” Learn more about why I love it here.

YouCopia Spice Drawer Liner
$17

“I know spice drawers aren’t anything new, but they’re new to me and I’m astonished by how much joy mine sparks,” says contributor Geraldine Campbell. ”I cut sections of the 10-foot roll to line a drawer, and managed to store 30 bottles of spices and keep them from clanking around every time I pulled the drawer open.” Read her full review here.

The Best Food Storage Containers

Secondz Collapsible Food Storage 3-Piece Starter Set
$45

“These smart, collapsible food storage containers have saved me so much space in my kitchen cabinets,” Fish says. “Not only are they made of easy-to-clean silicone, but they collapse down to take up almost no space, and are leakproof so they’re great for travel and small-space living.”

Caraway Home Glass Airtight Container Set, 14 Pieces
$375$251

“It’s by far the prettiest food storage set that I’ve ever seen, and I expected no less from the brand that’s behind some of the most Instagrammable cookware on the market,” Apartment Therapy Shopping Writer Morgan Pryor says. “Since every piece is stackable, it takes advantage of all of my cabinet’s dead space and looks dang good while doing it — so much so that I’m tempted to put it on my counter instead!” Read her full review here.

OXO Good Grips 3-Piece POP Canister Set
$33

“Ever since I learned you should always decant your pantry items, I’ve been trying out sleek, stylish solutions, and this set was a quick favorite from one of the most editor-beloved brands,” Fish says. “I store sugar, flour, and cereal in mine, and they keep them fresh and also look good in my pantry.”

Bentgo Pantry Airtight Food Storage Containers, 10 Pieces
$60

These containers are another go-to for keeping my pantry, fridge, and cabinets organized,” Fish says. “I love that they’re stackable to save space and are made of BPA-free plastic, so they’re light and I don’t have to worry about chemicals leaching into my foods.”

YouCopia ShelfBin Stacking Pantry Bins, 2-Pack
$25

“Right away, I could tell that the sturdy, thick plastic is made to last. Not to mention, the bins look great out in the open, too,” Pryor says. “They’re so sleek that I didn’t mind placing them on the open lower shelf of my kitchen island. They gave a home to all of my random kitchen gear that I didn’t quite know what to do with, like my blender accessories, water bottle cleaning brushes, some coffee gear, and a stray Brita filter.” Read her full review here.

Ball Jar Wooden Storage Lids, 5-Pack
$7

“I prefer to buy my pantry staples in bulk, and these giant Ball Mason jars and wooden lids not only hold a ton (they come in 4-cup, 10-cup, and 15-cup sizes), but they make my previously messy cabinets look so streamlined — and since they're glass, I can see at a glance when I need to go grocery shopping,” Apartment Therapy’s Lifestyle Editor Sofia Rivera says. “I don't have a ton of cabinet space so I even keep some on top of my fridge, and they look great there, too.” Learn about other editor-favorite Ball Mason jars here.

$7 at Amazon
Salad Pod
$25

“This goofy food storage container instantly became my go-to work lunch vessel, whether it’s for bowls, salads, or other mixed meals,” Fish says. “With a compartment for dressing or sauce tucked into the lid so your food doesn’t get soggy, and an opening on the side, it makes taking (and eating) food on the go so much easier.”

“I love the sophisticated look of this countertop organizer, especially since it sits on the counter underneath my cabinets,” Editorial Shopping Director Jada Wong says. “It gives me extra storage where I need it most, and it doesn't look out of place if I need to move it elsewhere.”

Wetheny 2-Piece Wall Mounted Wire Basket

$20 at Amazon
Zwilling Magnetic Knife Bar
$45

“If you’re like me and don’t have any drawers (or counter space for a knife block), this magnetic knife bar is amazing for using vertical space to store knives and other metal tools,” Fish says. “It’s easy to install, keeps things accessible when I need them, and also looks great!”
