An expandable cookware rack can help you maximize your space efficiency by adjusting to the size needed for your storage space and quantity of cookware. The device includes 10 adjustable steel wire dividers and fits cabinets from 12 inches to 22 inches wide.

This dishrack efficiently holds up to 40 lbs of dishes with specialized areas for wine glasses, cooking knives, cutting boards, and more. The modular design has a removable drying mat, an adjustable spout, and a raised plate rack for faster drying.

Finally, keeping your food organized is made easier with erasable labels. Perfect for anything from food to school binders, it easily changes the function of a bin by simply erasing the label instead of having to peel and replace it with a whole new label.

Storage

Innovative storage solutions can ensure you’re utilizing all of the available space as efficiently as possible. For example, items such as hats, purses, and tumblers can be tucked away behind a door instead of occupying valuable cabinet space.

Additional storage could be created using undershelf baskets, which add additional shelf space beneath existing shelves. A shower curtain or liner equipped with pockets can also be used to provide extra room for bath, shower, or bathroom products.

This storage caddy makes it easy to keep items organized and transport around the house, such as tools or cleaning supplies, that need to be moved regularly.

Travel

Staying organized on the go presents its own set of challenges. This purse organizer insert can be used in large purses and tote bags. It contains 13 pockets that will keep you from rooting around in your bag too long.

Whether you’re in and out of class or meetings all day, this cascading wall organizer can fold to fit conveniently in your bag or unfold to hang on your wall, making your documents visible and easy to sort through.

For those traveling longer distances for school or work this fall, this outlet phone holder hangs your phone off the outlet as it charges to keep it safe from dirty airport or classroom floors. Recognized by TIME Magazine as the Best Travel Invention of the Year, this carry-on closet suitcase is the latest in travel clothing organization with its patented five-shelf built-in closet system.
