When you are trying to streamline your home, having the right tools is half the battle. Whether you are tackling a kitchen refresh or a total bedroom overhaul, The Container Store remains one of our go-to resources for high-quality, durable, and stylish organizational supplies.
To help you navigate the aisles, we’ve curated a list of our top 10 favorite storage essentials that combine aesthetics with serious functionality.
1. Velvet Non-Slip Hangers
If you want to instantly elevate the look of your closet, uniform hangers are the secret. The difference is night and day when your hangers match! These are a “must-have” for our Dallas closet organizations because their thin profile saves significant rod space. Plus, the velvet texture provides enough friction to keep delicate silk blouses and wide-neck sweaters from slipping onto the floor.
2. Canvas Hanging Organizer
While it’s tempting to hang everything, hanging heavy sweaters can ruin their shape and stretch the shoulders. These canvas organizers create “instant shelving” in your closet, keeping in-season knitwear accessible and in pristine condition without taking up precious dresser space.
3. Clear Pantry Bins
The foundation of any Pinterest-ready pantry is clear acrylic bins. They come in different shapes and sizes to fit any pantry space. Not only do these bins make your pantry aesthetically pleasing, but they also help you see what you have and what you’re getting low on. We recommend grouping items by category: snacks, baking mixes, granola bars, and sauces.
4. Expandable Drawer Dividers
Drawer dividers are the unsung heroes of home organization. Use them in the kitchen to separate Tupperware containers from their lids, or choose bamboo versions for bedroom drawers to keep socks and undergarments from becoming a jumbled mess.
5. Sectioned Trays
Without compartments, every drawer eventually becomes a “junk drawer.” That’s why we love sectioned trays for organizing multi-use drawers. Deep trays are ideal for large kitchen tools, while shallow trays are perfect for corralling small items like makeup, paper clips, or office supplies. There’s hardly a drawer that can’t benefit from these practical trays.
6. Clear Plastic Shoe Boxes
These shoe boxes are great for keeping your best shoes dust free, and make stacking easy. These are indeed the perfect boxes for shoes, but in truth they have so many more uses! We also love using them to organize kids’ craft areas to separate markers, stickers, paints and all the other crafty pieces. Or in utility closets for batteries, small light bulbs, and hardware odds & ends. We recommend buying them in bulk. We promise you’ll use them all!
7. Pantry Door Rack
This ingenious door rack system makes smart use of the “dead space” on the back of a door. It is the ultimate solution for spices, oils, or small jars that tend to get lost on deep pantry shelves. The adjustable baskets mean you can customize the height to fit your specific needs.
8. Open Canvas Storage Bins
Canvas bins are the workhorses of closet organization, they can be used for almost anything! Use them for items that don’t belong on a hanger: scarves, hats, gloves, or swimsuits. With integrated label holders on both sides, you’ll never have to guess which bin holds your winter or summer gear. These look beautiful on your shelves, plus come in multiple sizes and colors to fit any space.
9. Garage Utility Shelving
For our Dallas garage makeovers, no space is complete without these utility shelves. These units are incredibly sturdy and industrial-grade, making them ideal for holding heavy bins of holiday decor or sports equipment. They are fully customizable, with lengths up to 60 inches to fit any wall.
10. Montauk Baskets
These cotton-lined baskets are our favorite choice for linen closets. They are perfect for towels, sheets, and extra pillows. Because the exterior is a smooth woven plastic, they won’t scratch your shelving paint, eliminating the need for shelf liners.
