11 Organizational Products from Walmart I Wish I Knew About Sooner

Over the years, I’ve relied on individual hooks, a shoe bench, and an old bookcase to create a more organized entryway, and I wish I knew that an entryway tree could have served all of those functions in one elegant piece of furniture. In this one, I’d keep hats and gloves in baskets on the top shelves.

A freestanding wardrobe is a smart solution to the “small closet, big wardrobe” problem I seem to have in every apartment I’ve lived in. Plus, it’s easier to access excess clothes compared to where I usually store them, which is under the bed. Behind this one’s fluted doors is a hanging rod with a shelf above it, and a drawer with two handles is located below.

There isn’t a room in the house where cube storage can’t be useful. Place it in an entryway to corral shoes, dog leashes, and cold-weather accessories, or try it in a living room, playroom, office, or bedroom. And because this one has an open-back design, it can serve as a room divider, too. Psst — don’t forget the storage baskets!

I cannot tell you how often I fold and refold the clothes in my dresser in an effort to ease crowding and accessibility to my T-shirts, sweaters, and loungewear. That’s exactly what drawer dividers like these are made for: They maximize space in any drawer they occupy, and they give everything that lives in it a proper home. This set includes 12 organizers in three different sizes.

Not to be dramatic or anything, but a proper jewelry box brought peace and harmony to my entire bedroom by decluttering the surface of my dresser. This jewelry organizer has five drawers that pull all the way out, and each is divided differently to accommodate necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings of various sizes. The top layer, meant for everyday go-tos, is covered by a glass top.

I have also lost hours of my life sorting my clothing from a single basket on each and every laundry day. Whether or not you have a laundry room, I think a sectioned laundry hamper is worth the square footage in your home. This version is two pieces: a three-compartment basket on wheels, and a two-drawer tabletop that surrounds it.

I could’ve saved a lot of room in my cabinets if I didn’t hold onto old takeout containers to bring food to the office and relied on an actual lunch box instead. My favorite thing about this one isn’t its multiple built-in compartments, but the sneaky layer in the middle that holds utensils.

I have seen many a knife block in my day, and I don’t think there’s a more efficient model than the rotating metal knife block. The one in my kitchen right now is holding five large knives on the outside and four small knives within. Unlike mine, this one has a removable brush in the middle, in case you want to store other kitchen utensils on the inside.

With a lazy Susan in the pantry, condiments and spices won’t get lost in the back of the cabinet. These plastic rotating organizers come in a pack of two and have walls that prevent bottles from tipping as you spin. And don’t worry about putting away messy bottles, as the leakproof lazy Susan wipes clean with a little soap and water.

Yes, getting your house in order includes organizing your debris. This motion sensor garbage can lifts its lid with a wave of your hand to reveal two compartments for trash and recycling. It’s very similar to a more expensive model on the market, and it’s received loads of praise from Walmart customers. Heads up, it operates on D batteries.

I thought I was so smart using my mop bucket to corral my cleaning supplies… until I had to mop, that is. I’d opt for this cleaning caddy over under sink storage solutions because of its portability, multiple compartments, and under-$10 price. Plus, no assembly required.
