It’s a known fashion rule that, oftentimes, accessories make the outfit. You could be wearing the plainest jeans and T-shirt, but when you throw a hat, a scarf, a belt, and some cute shoes into the mix, Victoria Beckham has nothing on you. If anything, styling each piece is the easy part. The problem occurs when it’s time to take everything off, and you find that your closet is maxed out. It can barely fit all your clothes, let alone all those extra purses. If that’s the case, it’s time for a new system. You can try increasing your hanging space with an extra rod insert, packing away out-of-season clothes into bins to free up some shelves, or keeping stacks of sweaters standing straight with shelf dividers. But nothing beats the tried-and-true door organizer. We found one at QVC that will kick your closet into shape in no time.

This 10-pocket organizer by Honey-Can-Do hangs over your closet door to give your stuffed-to-the-brim wardrobe some much-needed relief. It has five rows of pockets, which vary in size. Two long horizontal pouches are perfect for shoes, bags, and other heavier items. At the bottom, a set of medium-sized pockets can hold similar accessories, but a divider in the middle keeps them separate. The rest of the organizer is comprised of smaller compartments that can hold anything from socks and sunglasses, to wallets and miscellaneous items that you haven’t found a permanent home for yet. Basically, if you live in a cramped home, this organizer is a must. “I live in a VERY small apartment where storage is a premium,” one reviewer shared. “My mom found this and ordered it for me. I was skeptical, but it is the bomb.”
Part of what makes this find so special is that it requires no assembly or difficult installation. All you have to do is hook the top and bottom onto your door, and you’re set. That’s right — the top and bottom of the organizer have hooks, so there won’t be any jostling when you open the door. “The versatility of this hanging organizer is incredible,” one reviewer noted. “The quality of the fabric and the value of this door organizer surpasses any I have ever owned.” Indeed, the off-white fabric of this organizer is not only sturdy, but it looks great compared to plastic alternatives.
It’s safe to say your closet will be free of clutter, and your accessories will be nestled securely with this over-the-door organizer. If there’s any time to get it, it’s now because this find is currently on sale for less than $35. Your wardrobe will thank you.

Before I settled into Apartment Therapy as the senior commerce editor, I tested beauty products for a living. As a result, I own probably more than 100 skincare and makeup products. The problem is that I live in a small space — specifically a one-bedroom apartment in New York City — and I share these two rooms with my boyfriend. For the past few months, my wide assortment of makeup products has lived in four different toiletry bags. I’ve misplaced eye shadow palettes and lip balms, while also growing irritated at forgetting which product is in which bag. When I got the opportunity to test Yamazaki’s Makeup Organizer, I immediately raised my hand.

Yamazaki has long been an AT-favorite, and I have never tried one of their products. Yamazaki is known for making durable, smart, minimalistic storage solutions. As a person who aspires to have a clutter-free household, I knew that this singular organizer a few of those makeup totes.
This organizer is made out of metal, which I love, because that means it’s easy to clean or wipe off if foundation spills within it. I opted for the white metal, but there is also a black version. It’s 5.91″ in length, 12.2″ wide, and 6.1″ tall. It’s slim enough to fit right next to my vanity mirror. There’s even an adjustable handle for easy carrying.
The main reason I was so excited to put this organizer to the test is its compartments. There’s a removable (and slidable) compartment box that features two thin rows and one large compartment. I stuffed the two rows full with tubes of mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow pencils, concealer and even a few lipsticks. It fit way more than I expecting. The bigger compartment I filled with an eyeshadow palette, a beauty blender, and a perfume.
The bottom of the organizer is where I put all of my eyeshadow palettes (four huge ones), a highlighter palette, foundation, setting spray, and an entire set of back-up brushes. It’s a deep organizer, so it’s perfect for a beauty obsessive who has a lot of palettes that they frequently rotate.
And wait — there’s more. There’s a small compartment that attaches to the side. As you can see from the photo, I put more lipsticks, lip liners, and lip glosses in there, along with some Tweezers. (And that isn’t even the full extend on my lipstick collection, unfortunately. I am banned from buying more.)
The brown wooden lid of the organizer has a groove, which allows you to place it on its side, so the mirror is visible. I loved this feature because I haven’t been happy with my vanity mirror lately. For a sleeker look, I can take it off and just use it as a lid to hide some of my makeup for when guests are over.
Overall, I am never going back to using makeup bags. I never have to rummage around for anything. I know exactly what products I have available to me, so I don’t overbuy, and it helps create a station in my home where I can do my makeup routine. I’m going to have this organizer for years to come and I think it’s absolutely worth the price tag.

If you have a small bathroom like me, you know the struggle that comes with doing and storing your makeup. The counters are a no-go (too easy to knock over breakable containers when reaching for the toothbrush), but minimal drawer space means cramming your cosmetic collection into a tiny box and not being able to see all the individual products. I don’t like to admit how many times I thought I’d lost a face primer or an eyeshadow brush and bought a new one, only to later find the original “missing” item toward the back of the drawer. As you can imagine, this only exacerbated my small space/big makeup collection issue.

Of course, you can use this organizer for storing other things besides makeup, such as skincare and nail supplies, but its individual compartments best lend themselves to different types of cosmetics. For instance, the top plate has an open section in its surface that’s perfect for brushes. From there down, seven tiers of varying heights can hold bottles both large and small. In fact, you can manually adjust exactly how tall you want each tray to be. Almost 10,000 five-star ratings speak to this organizer’s seamless functionality. “My bathroom counter is a wreck every day,” one reviewer wrote. “I figured I could use this for at least my daily essentials, but it holds a whole lot more. I love that everything is in view and easily accessible!”
So that problem I mentioned of not being able to see your entire collection at once? The rotating organizer solves that by, well, rotating. No more digging through your cabinets and having to reorganize your items on a frequent basis, and counters remain uncluttered. “Having a lot of counter space is important to me, while also having easy access to anything I need or use regularly,” an Amazon customer shared. “This balances both of those needs wonderfully. It was easy to set up [and] customizable with how much space per section you need.”
Shoppers also note that the organizers is easy to assemble and disassemble when it’s time for a deep clean. In the meantime, it works exactly as advertised. Doing your makeup should be a relaxing, enjoyable step in your morning (or evening) routine. The Syntus 360 rotating makeup organizer makes that sentiment a reality.
