My Top Amazon Home Organization Essentials
Are you looking to become the next professional home organizer? Or, have you been scrolling endlessly through home organization pins on Pinterest?
Whichever reason you may have for looking into home organization and home decor tips - don’t worry too much because I’ve done the dirty work for you! ;) In fact, today’s product collage features a variety of product links that I have personally purchased, reviewed, and love from Amazon! Since I moved into my new home in July 2020, I’ve been OBSESSED with home organization products and I hope that these products resonate with you as well!
1. 4 Rubbermaid Stackable Large Storage Containers (95 Quart)
You know that I love this product so much when I buy it TWICE! That’s right, TWICE! As a huge Poshmark enthusiast who is doing her best to sell 80% of her closet (Marie Kondo would be so proud), these clear plastic bins are PERFECT for storing extra clothes and other items that you want to tuck away in the basement, attic, or storage room.
2. mDesign Divided Tea/Coffee Bag & Sweetener Packet Caddy
This specific organizer has been a HUGE lifesaver for my OCD tendencies - it organizes my coffee and tea bags to a T and I use this practically daily (since yo gurl needs her morning coffee, LOL). There’s nothing more relieving than to see all of your coffee and tea bags organized neatly in your kitchen pantry instead of being spilled out in a random kitchen cabinet.
3. SUBEKYU Collapsible Hanging Kitchen Trash Can for Cabinet (White)
My happiness level has exponentially increased as soon as I installed this collapsible hanging trash can in my kitchen area, no lie. Not only do I save a time and energy by not having to walk all the way over to my larger trash can, but I love how this trash can conveniently hangs over my kitchen cabinet so that I can slide any compost or vegetable scraps from my cutting board into the trash with ease. Additionally, I use compostable garbage bags from the Grove Collective and replace this trash liner once per day.
4. OXO Good Grips Expandable Utensil Organizer (White)
Not gonna lie, I thought this product was atrocious when I first laid eyes on it. However, the functionality of this product wowed me enough to put my aesthetic preferences aside and to just BUY it! Hilariously enough, this went from being my least favorite purchase to one of my most favorite buys - just because of how functional it is! Not only is this utensil organizer a GAMECHANGER in my utensils drawer, but it stores SO much more and takes up less room than my previous IKEA utensil organizer. Game, set, match!
I have no regrets with this purchase whatsoever. In fact, I found it really fun and therapeutic to create labels with this label maker! Whether I am labeling the clear plastic bins from Product #1 on this list or the OXO pop containers from Product #12, I attain this zen “inner peace” feeling when I know that my belongings are properly labeled and neatly stored in my household.
6. 4 Essos Glass Jars with Wood Lids
Honestly, I bought these glass jars on a whim while reading The Home Edit (devoured this book in less than 2 days!), but I haven’t personally used them yet. Most likely, I plan to store my different One Degree Organic granola flavors for my greek yogurt bowls. To vouch for these glass jars further, my bestie, Marisa, LOVES glass jars and uses it to store her dry ingredients!
7. The Home Edit: A Guide to Organizing and Realizing Your House Goals by Clea Shearer & Joanna Teplin
LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! Not only does it come with visually aesthetic images of a variety of rooms that the authors have themselves organized for celebrities, but this book is funny as hell as well! Definitely a fun read that will educate you on the latest home organization tips.
8. How to Make a House a Home: Creating a Purposeful, Personal Space by Ariel Kaye
You know this book is a winner when one of my followers sent me a screenshot of her purchase after I talked about this book on my Instastories. I enjoyed reading this book in particular because its beautiful and vibrant illustrations paired with very helpful home organization tips from Parachute Home Founder, Ariel Kaye, herself. It was very interesting to learn how different bedding fabrics, textures, decor accents, and lighting, played a huge role in creating a specific ambiance in one’s home.
9. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Anything written by Marie Kondo is definitely a winner in my book. She has a very positive and uplifting way of encouraging one to declutter his or her home. Most importantly, Kondo helps you realize what items in your home truly mean the most to you - aka the ones that spark joy in your life.
10. The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
When you devour a manga in four hours, you know that it’s a manga worth reading. From the cute and silly love story this book comes with, this manga powerfully shows you how the messy female lead and her hectic lifestyle transforms magically for the better as soon as she takes an active approach towards decluttering her home. In all honesty, I found it “cool” (for a lack of better word) how with every chapter, the female lead’s house became cleaner - and you can see it in the way that she dresses/looks in addition to the piles of mess that slowly disappear in each chapter. I can’t explain it in words, but you’ll have to read this manga for yourself to see just how powerful the message really is.
11. Acrylic Q-Tip Holder (White Marble)
Both cute and functional? Sign me up! ;)
12. 4 OXO Good Grips POP Containers (2.8 Quart)
If you haven’t seen my Instastories on these OXO POP Containers, you’ll learn soon enough that this container is my current storage OBSESSION. When paired with a label and stored away in my kitchen cabinet, I can’t help but feel this giddy excitement similar to a female teenager who just scored a date with her 7th-grade crush. Okay, it’s probably not the same type of excitement…but you get my point. When it comes to these pop containers, the quality is phenomenal. P.S. In case you were wondering, the button on the top is meant to keep the container air-tight and I’m not gonna lie, this is the only type of button I enjoy pushing.
My bougie boss babe points have increased ten-fold when I invested in this olive oil dispenser. Word on the street has it that these dispenser bottles help you decrease the amount of oil that you use in contrast to a regular olive oil bottle!
14. 2 iDesign White Mesh Laundry Wash Bags
When it comes to doing your laundry, these mesh laundry bags are a GAMECHANGER. I talked about these same wash bags in a previous blog post, which means they’re definitely worth raving about! Essentially, I stocked up on a BUNCH of these wash bags so that I can separate my intimates, sports bras, and socks so that they aren’t all mixed up together in the washer and dryer. Besides, who likes a sports bra when the padding is all messed up?! Not meh.
15. Lipstick Acrylic Organizer
Yo gurl don’t wear a lot of lippies, but this organizer still comes in handy regardless! For any lipstick junkie, this organizer is a lifesaver!
16. iDesign Divided Makeup Palette Organizer
Love love love this makeup palette organizer! I used to stack my makeup palettes vertically and believe me, it was not a pretty sight. After introducing myself (thank god) to this organizer, all of my makeup palettes are now stored vertically standing up and I’m able to see all of them easily!
17. mDesign Bamboo Expandable Spice Rack Organizer
Any expandable organizer is definitely a friend worth keeping in my books! In my personal opinion, organizing my spices is of huge importance to me, as I want to make sure my spices are easy to see from afar while I’m whipping up a good stir fry! Kitchen cabinets can get quite messy if all spices are sitting at the same eye level so I would highly recommend to invest in a spice rack organizer if you haven’t already. Now I have that Migos “Stir Fry” song stuck in my head, great…
18. 4 mDesign Adjustable Metal Kitchen Cabinet Storage Shelves
I can safely say that these storage shelves DEFINITELY save room in your kitchen cabinets when it comes to organizing your mug collection or dishware. At the moment, I currently use these storage shelves to organize my bowls and plates. However, I eventually want to invest in vertical dishware storage (not a huge priority for me atm) and have these storage shelves organize my mugs instead.
19. Sunglasses Organizer Clear Eyeglasses Display Case Eyewear Storage Tray Box
Trust me when I say that I have searched LONG and HARD for a dope sunglasses organizer. In fact, it took me various Etsy store browsing and intense Amazon searching to finally stumble upon this baby! Not only was this particular display case the most affordable option that fell within my budget, but I also loved just the way it looked overall. All in all, this organizer case is sturdy, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing!
