Brightroom Plastic Lazy Susan Turn Table
One product Cohen says she incorporates into almost every professional organizing project she does for clients? A trusty lazy Susan. Cabinets can often become over-cluttered making it hard to reach for items in the back. That's why Cohen says a lazy Susan is a must-have organization tool to keep everything visible. She also says this option is one of the most versatile products out there, because it can easily fit in your pantry cabinet and allows you to spin it around to grab spices, oils and medicines. And that's not all: She says another way to use it is to place it under your sink to store cleaning products.
Madesmart Mini Two-Tier Organizer
"I always get asked how to maximize under your bathroom sink," Cohen says. "This two-tier organizer is a great solution because it helps you to use all of your vertical space." The sliding feature makes it easy to grab what you need, and Cohen likes the dividers and label area to create categories for your essentials. Plus this organizing product is only five inches wide. For just $11 you'll want to grab multiple for every cabinet!

If you're looking for even more storage and have a little more space to play with, this two-tier option is nine inches wide and has all of the same features as its mini counterpart. Store it in the bathroom for all of your skin care or stow it under your kitchen sink for your cleaning necessities.

No matter how neatly you try to fold everything, your underwear and sock drawer can easily become chaotic.

That missing sock dilemma is solved! All of your socks will actually stay together and neatly tucked in place — it stores up to 25 pairs and can be adjusted to fit drawers of different sizes.
Brightroom Over The Door Organizer
This over-the-door organizer is a no-fuss way to add more storage to your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, and it happens to be multi-functional. One side has a metal rack to store cleaning supplies and other essentials, while the exterior side has a rod for keeping your wash cloth or dish towel handy.
