An organized home starts here. Meet Apartment Therapy’s 2026 Organization Awards, featuring the very best storage finds and organizers for every room in your house.

IKEA’s TROFAST System is the most versatile storage system. Originally intended for toy storage, the TROFAST can be reimagined and remixed to fit any room of your home. Use it for laundry room organization, create a walk-in closet, or place it in the living area for storage — the options and customizations are seemingly endless.

The CB2 Truman Acacia Wood and Glass Door Tall Cabinet is a stunning storage cabinet rendered in a lightly wire-brushed acacia wood veneer. The push-to-open tempered glass doors reveal five shelves of storage — perfect for displaying china, glassware, dinnerware, linens, and more. It's functional storage with furniture-level appeal.

“It’s definitely the sleekest, prettiest shoe rack I’ve ever seen,” says Senior Lifestyle Editor Quinn Fish. With four tiers to use for shoe storage and a matte black steel tabletop as a place to organize or display entryway items, the Apto Obround Shoe Rack truly is a two-in-one piece: a shoe rack that doubles as an entryway table.

Any room could benefit from having a storage table, and our pick is the Article Maren Storage Side Table. The small-space-friendly, Scandinavian-designed side table has a light and airy look, and it features interior storage behind a soft-close door.

Command’s latest Decor collection features sleek, modern items in premium metal finishes — and the Command Decor Metal Key Rail is a standout piece. Available in matte black, brushed brass, and light beige, the metal key rail has four hooks and installs just like other Command products (follow clear instructions for damage-free hanging!).

Mustard Made’s The Storyboard is better than a standard memo board, mood board, or bulletin board. In 12 exciting colors, it provides a bold and beautiful way to display your favorite mementos on your wall and get your life organized.

An over-the-door organizer provides instant storage in an otherwise unused spot, and the Gorilla Grip Over the Door Organizer amplifies that storage even more. It can hang from any door (the hooks have rubber padding to avoid scratching the door, too) and offers five roomy storage shelves that have their own label slots so you never have to guess what it holds.

The new HDX 27-Gallon Defender Totes are modular bins that are waterproof, dustproof, and clear, which means you can use them for any purpose and anywhere — all while being able to see exactly what’s inside without having to remove the lid. Plus, they fit in the entire HDX Storage Ecosystem, which means you can stack and store them on top of other totes and use the tote taxi to cart them around.

Perfect for everyday use, the Brother P-Touch PT-N25BT Personal Connected Label Maker features all-in-one label creation, printing, and cutting. It works with batteries or by plugging it into an outlet, making it easy to use at home or on the go.

Combat cord clutter instantly with the Command 5-Cord Clip Organizer. Just stick it to the side of (or behind) a table or directly on a surface for immediate organization — whether it's for your nightstand, end table, or desk.

When your bathroom lacks storage space, get the Yamazaki Home Tower Pull-Out Bathroom Storage Cabinet. The slim storage cabinet, which is made of steel, allows you to discreetly store extra toilet paper rolls, a toilet brush, and other cleaning supplies with its two-tier pull-out cabinet, while also providing a wooden tabletop surface area for accent pieces.

“I’m thoroughly impressed by the Beautiful Fluted Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet,” shares Lifestyle Director Stephanie Nguyen. “Not only is it actually beautiful, with its fluted design, but it’s also super functional, offering ample vertical storage in my tiny bathroom.” It currently comes in warm honey or rich black colorways — which are both stunning!

This modular, renter-friendly shower organizer is super-customizable — there’s “a spot” for everything you need. With Quiet Town’s The Spot's numerous attachments and four colorways, you can really make it the shower organizer of your dreams.

Need a better solution to towel storage? Then you need a towel rack. This Liuoud Towel Rack works perfectly, as you can affix it to any wall of your bathroom. Its minimalist design keeps the focus exactly where it belongs: neatly storing your towels.

For all the gorgeous jewelry you wear, you need a just-as-pretty place to store it in. Enter: the Umbra Malibu Storage Box. Featuring fluted glass accents and available in a sleek white or chic black look, the storage box offers three tiers of storage outfitted with a soft linen lining. Each tray can be detached and used separately, too.

The IKEA TONSTAD Bed Frame with Storage, which also won a 2026 Best in Home Award, has four spacious, soft-close drawers to better utilize the storage space under the bed. It comes in three colors and three sizes to fit any bedroom style.

The West Elm Modern Weave Rattan Underbed Basket makes the best use for the space under your bed, adding ample storage. It’s equal parts pretty and practical, with its natural rattan look and functional design that includes holes on the side for easy gripping and your choice of a lidded or unlidded basket.

Another way to maximize your bedroom storage is by minimizing the space your out-of-season clothes and extra bedding take up. SONGMICS’ Vacuum Storage Bags are the ultimate space-savers, allowing you to corral and compress items so they take up way less room wherever you store them.

Beloved for a reason, the IKEA PAX System is our pick for the best closet system. It’s customizable, so you can have a dreamy high-end closet at a much more affordable price tag. The possibilities are endless with the IKEA PAX.

When Shopping Writer Alexa Casanova upgraded to SpaceAid’s Hanging Closet Organizer, it ended up doubling the closet storage in her small New York City apartment. She loves that it makes things easier to find in her space and that it comes in a two-pack.

Instead of just tossing your purse or handbags inside a drawer, stacked on top of each other, or buried within one another, why not have them on full display like a department store would? The Wiosi Acrylic Purse Hanger will elevate your purse storage collection, so you can neatly store purses in your closet for convenience and style.

Thoughtful details make the StorageWorks Closet Storage Bins stand out. The see-through windows give you a clear view of what’s being stored inside, soft leather pull-tabs allow you to easily retrieve the bins, and the durable fabric can hold up to 25 pounds.

The Neat Method’s Acacia Drawer Organizer is made of gorgeous oil-rubbed acacia wood and comes in seven various sizes so you can configure a perfect fit for your drawer. Each organizer has nonslip rubber feet so they won’t slip and slide around.

The best, smartest way to organize your bed sheets? Get the SpaceAid Bed Sheet Organizers. They are designed to keep sheets tidy, organized, and put-together. The window and label slot allows you to identify what each one holds, too.

If you store extra pairs of shoes in your closet, a narrow shoe rack like the SONGMICS 8-Tier Metal Narrow Shoe Rack is a must-have. It measures 17.6 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 50.6 inches high; can hold up to 24 pairs of shoes; and the shelves are removable and adjustable so you can store taller footwear.

“The Yamazaki Home Tower Storage Rack really does create (lots) of space out of thin air — an entire kitchen counter's worth,” shares Editor-in-Chief Charli Penn, noting that it's customizable, incredibly sturdy, and beautifully made. The rack is able to hold everything from medium-sized appliances and cookware to cookbooks and utensils in her kitchen.

Don’t let cookware clutter take over your kitchen cabinets — get the Umbra Peggy Cookware Organizer for an instant fix. This smart organizer has 18 pegs and four peg extensions that you can configure and adjust to fit in your cabinet or drawer space. It’ll keep pans, lids, and even baking sheets neatly organized.

One Apartment Therapy contributor called the SpaceAid Spice Rack Organizer a “work of art,” and it’s easy to see why. It’ll elevate your spice storage, allowing you to easily see your spices, arrange them in a row, and label them to create an intentional, cohesive look.

“Caraway’s Home Glass Airtight Container Set might be the prettiest storage container set,” shares Lifestyle Director Stephanie Nguyen. She loves that the containers are made of glass, airtight, and available in six colors, and that they have a modular design.

Also winning a Best in Show 2026 Award, the Copco Over the Sink Colander Fridge Bin impressed us with its functionality. You can wash produce in it by extending the handles to sit over a sink, and drain the water by removing the bottom of the bin. When it’s ready to be stored away, simply snap on the lid and bottom, put down the handles, and slide it into the fridge.

Anyday’s Anydeli Mixed Set of food storage containers take the concept of a standard deli container and elevate it. Made of a platinum-cured silicone, they’re a plastic-free alternative that’s way more stable than a flimsy plastic container. They’re safe to use in the microwave, freezer, dishwasher, and oven (up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit), and are stackable so they’re easy to store.

The Stasher Starter Kit 10-Pack has everything you need when you want to make the switch to using plastic-free reusable bags. It includes four stretch lids and a variety of six reusable bags — all of which are microwave- and dishwasher-safe (plus the bags are oven-safe too).

The OXO Good Grips Compact Utensil Organizer is made for those small kitchen drawers. The non-slip feet will keep it in place, while the divided sections allow you to stack and store silverware neatly. Plus, the tray is removable so you have an easier time bringing utensils to the table or thoroughly cleaning it.

A circular turntable is great, but a rectangular one makes the best use of space. The YouCopia MagicTrack Rectangle Turntable is able to hold 50% more than a standard round turntable. Lifestyle Director Stephanie Nguyen loves that it turns 360 degrees so you can easily access items, all while staying in place thanks to soft non-slip feet. Even better, you can upgrade to the spice turntable or turntable with bins for even more functionality.

For under-sink organization, you need the Yamazaki Home Tower Three-Tier Cabinet Storage Rack. It offers three levels of storage, with the two bottom shelves being fully adjustable. What’s more, there are adjustable hooks and the storage rack comes in two colors: white or black.

The Away Softside Garment Roller definitely earned its name as the “wardrobe on wheels.” The checked bag opens flat to reveal organizational compartments to hold your outfits, shoes, and accessories. Shopping Writer Alexa Casanova took it with her on a wedding weekend trip and was blown away by how easy it was to pack up at home and unpack at her destination.

The best personal item to bring with you on your trip is the Bagsmart Blast Travel Backpack. It’s spacious — so many pockets! — has compression straps and a luggage trolley strap, comes in numerous colorways and sizes, and is even machine-washable and water-resistant.

Compressible by up to 60%, these Quince Eco Compression Packing Cubes are ideal for optimizing the space and organization of your luggage. They’re made of 100% premium water-repellent recycled polyester, come in a four- or six-pack, and are available in six colors: black, blue, dark green, beige, navy, and gray.

Senior Lifestyle Editor Lizzy Francis says that the transparent pockets of the Bagsmart Paz Hanging Toiletry Bag are a game-changer for making things easy to find, and she loves that the bag is “almost Mary-Poppins like” with the amount of things you can stuff into it.

When it comes to toiletries, you want travel containers that actually contain your liquids instead of having them spill around everywhere. These Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottles immediately solve this issue: They’re compact, super-lightweight, and spillproof, so you can safely store liquids, gels, and pastes without any hassle.
