15 Space-Saving Products to Help Keep Your Kitchen & Pantry Organized

The new year is here (that’s right, it’s somehow 2023), and with it comes a general desire to refresh. For some, that refresh is more conceptual: making resolutions, setting intentions, and building In/Out lists for the upcoming year. But for others, the refresh is literal: cleaning your home, replacing old sheets, and decluttering.

Now that we’re a few days in and the glitter and confetti-filled dust from the New Year countdown has settled, it’s time to get organized. If 2023 is the year you’re hoping to finally bring some calm to your chaotic pantry, find a food storage solution that works for you, or stop hearing the nerve-wracking clattering of those precariously stacked pans hiding in your kitchen cabinets, we’ve got the tools to help you get the job done. Here are 15 baskets, carts, wall organizers, and other storage-friendly items that’ll help keep your kitchen and pantry organized this year—plus, some of our favorite tips and guides to keep things tidy.

1. Metal Sliding Baskets, $58

If your kitchen cabinets are on the smaller side, these sliding baskets can be a lifesaver. In my apartment, I use them to hold our collection of coffee mugs, saucepan lids, and plates, but their versatility makes them ideal for many storage dilemmas.

2. Fit Anywhere Narrow Rolling Storage Cart, $79

This narrow rolling cart is perfect for utilizing seemingly useless spaces (like the sliver of floor space between your fridge and counter). Fill the shelves with spices, flour, vinegar, or more utility items like plastic wrap, wax paper, and aluminum foil.
