There are a lot of different ways to be organized, and one isn’t better than the other. But if you’re like me, and you tend to binge-watch organizing content on TikTok and Instagram, you may have noticed that there are some products and solutions all of the best organizers seem to lean on?

I talked to two of my favorite online organizers, Rachel Rosenthal and Monica Leed (whose book is an excellent resource), to identify those classic, must-have products to keep your kitchen tidy. Here are four kitchen organization solutions they recommend.

1. Lower Cabinet Pull Out Organizer

“When organizing lower, hard-to-reach cabinets, I always opt for a pull-out drawer whenever I can,” says Rosenthal. “Having a pull-out drawer really makes it much easier to access things like bakeware, Tupperware, and pots and pans, which are things many people tend to store in lower-down cabinets.”

2. Bamboo Drawer Organizer

“Categorizing all your flatware and other cooking utensils is key, and this organizer helps do that,” Rosenthal explains. “Being able to see what you have makes it easier to find what you need, when you need it. This drawer organizer is also expandable, which makes it great for almost any size drawers.”

3. Yamazaki Storage Basket

Leed encourages you to choose a style of storage basket that combines form and function. “Great for bread, snacks, pasta, you name it, these baskets look great [on the] countertop or in the pantry,” she says. Her pro tip is to use a label clip to organize baskets by type and make things even easier to store and find.

4. Neat Method Storage Canisters

Decanting groceries into see-through jars makes a space more aesthetically pleasing and more functional, so it’s no surprise that almost all of the organizers I follow are decanting devotees. Leed recommends these all-purpose decanting jars with smooth and stylish lids in black, gold, or white for everything, “from flour and sugar to popcorn and chips.” She adds, “They are easy to handle, keep food fresh, and provide that Insta-worthy refresh we all want after a grocery haul.”
