You can also use screws if you'd prefer.

Promising review: "I was tired of the paper towels taking up counter space. I purchased this and it came with screws, and three adhesive straps so you can do either option. I did the adhesive strip and its still holding up." —Mymy

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven finishes and a pack of two).

Promising review: "I really love this storage rack as it is good looking and pretty sturdy. I have a set of red metal camping dishes that I store on this shelf. I have the large plates on the lower shelf, the bowls on the middle shelf, and my rec mixing bowls on the top shelf. I have the cups on the mug tree sitting next to this plate rack and it looks so pretty together. I recommend this plate rack to anyone that has a small kitchen but wants good and attractive storage for their dishes." —Cheyenne R.

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in two colors and a set of two).

Promising reviews: "Enjoy the 13-ounce capacity of the soap holder. I appreciate that the pump dispenses just enough detergent for washing or cleaning needs to reduce waste. Will purchase a few more for my laundry room and to give them as gifts for new home dwellers." —Grace Y.

Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in five colors).

Parkway Home is a small business that sells items to help keep your home organized.

Promising review: "LOVE IT.... I was a little concerned that the depth of this would fit in my top drawer based on the measurements described, but it fits perfectly. It is a notch wider than necessary for standard size foil and plastic, but gives you that extra space if you wanted to go bigger. I highly recommend this!" —cmquade32

Get it from Parkway Home on Etsy for $25.49+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "TI live in a small apartment with a small kitchen. The stove is situated so there is not much room to put items that you need near it. This shelf is ideal! It is magnetized so it just fits at the top and stays put! I can put my seasonings, or oil on it without a problem. I even liked the box it came in with the easy instructions! Take out of box, put on stove top, done! It is sturdy and can be easily cleaned. What more do you need?" —C. Grunert

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six finishes and three sizes).

Promising reviews: "I've been using this magnetic knife holder for a few months and am very happy with it. The mounting is very secure. I used wood screws to easily and quickly mount it to the side of my cabinet above my counter work surface. The very strong magnet holds all my knives securely. I have no worry of knives slipping off it. Once installed I got rid of the hulking knife block to free valuable count space. I don't know why I didn't do this years ago." —Jeffery B.

Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in six lengths).

Promising review: "I love this product! Keeps my knife drawer organized and makes it easy to find the one I need because I keep them in a particular order. I purchased the one that holds 12 and now I wish I went with the 16 because I do want to add more knives to my collection. There is enough space to grab the knives comfortably. It would be fantastic if there was a slot for scissors and a cleaver somehow but overall, very satisfied with the product and plan on purchasing another." —Zoe

Get it from Amazon for $26.74+ (available in two sizes).

You can use it upright or on its side.

Promising review: "Works as advertised and definitely frees up space in my cabinet. The rack is very simple, sturdy, and fits most pans except my very deep skillet (approximately 3")." —Linda

Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).

Each rack comes with tools for easy assembly.

Promising review: "We have a very small kitchen so we bought this to save space and boy does it! We love it so much that we are buying another one!" —Jeff

Get it from Amazon for $23.97+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Put it together in under 5 minutes (just snapped together). Finally found a way to get all of my spices in one place and not use a lot of room in my very small kitchen. Fits well, lightweight, sturdy, and looks really good. Definitely recommend!" —1noseybird

Get it from Amazon for $25.11.

Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors, three styles, and two sizes).

This rack is also great for drying dishes!

Promising review: "I purchased this two years ago as a possible aid in the dish washing that I manage at home and I have to tell you that I am using this way more often than expected. We have a dishwasher like most but some things can't be put in the dishwasher so this rack serves as an ideal place to dry food processor or juicer components after hand washing them. Truly a counter space saver with the double sink we have our small kitchen and the bonus is that it rolls up to be stored under the sink. Highly recommended." —grimmbro

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "Bought this because I have a small kitchen and need extra room to prepare meals. Fits over my large sink. Rubber tips hold it in place. Basket colander is easily expandable or collapsible and holds weight. Great for chopping and rinsing. I use the colander for rinsing vegetables and draining pasta, etc. Basket colander comes completely out very easily. Dishwasher safe. I am glad I ordered it. It gives me the room I need to prep meals." —Ocean Girl

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

Promising review: "I love these cup organizers. I have a small cabinet above where my coffeepot is and these have made it a pleasure to open that cabinet. All cups are organized and easy to get to. They stay right where they should be. No more stacking them inside one another and them falling over when I opened the cabinet. I also use these for some bowls in my dish set. Works great. I just ordered a couple more and I am going to use them for my china cabinet. I wondered when I first bought them because the price was a little high. Worth every penny and more. I can not say enough good about these." —ChefGirl

Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? These are perfect. So happy to have my spices off the shelf, and up on the door where I can see them ALL (and they're even organized alphabetically). One tip: If you're putting labels on, turn the container so the 'sprinkle' lid is in the upper righthand corner. This will keep very fine spices (baking soda, for example) from leaking out when on the steel base." —Robyn

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (choose from 3-, 6-, 12-, or 24-pack).

Promising review: "I love this cart! The woodblock is heavy-duty and the wheels glide easily around my kitchen floor. I have a small space and needed extra countertop and storage. The open design is perfect. Quasi-industrial in appearance, the cart is simultaneously retro and modern. I priced a lot of carts and this one is a heck of a deal. One of my best buys this year!" —P. Kandt

Get it from Amazon for $144.69+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I love this door organizer!!! I used Command strip hooks (the ones with the metal hook but plastic back) to keep the organizer extra stable. I used the bottom shelf to store my plastic wrap, foil, wax paper, and more, so if you're not needing storage for these, you should be able to use all the shelves. This organizer has really helped alleviate my pantry clutter! I highly recommend this item!!!" —Super Momx2

Get it from Amazon for $48.03.

Promising review: "I live in an apartment so there is minimal cabinet space. Being a wine lover, I have more wineglasses than cups (oops) and I could not fit them all. This fixed all of my problems and give a nice upgrade to the kitchen overall! Most wine racks take up space but this saved space for me! Highly recommend!" —Leah B.

If you want to taste those robust flavors every time you make coffee, then you need a French press. Not only does it filter coffee sediments from entering your cup, it also allow the delicious oils to be present in every sip! The double-layered stainless steel will keep your coffee hot for 60 minutes longer than thinner steel and glass models. It also works well for making tea, hot chocolate, frothed milk, fruit infusions, and much more!

Promising review: "My wife and I have been using a french press for over 25 years. The problem was we had a large one from another company that wouldn't quite make enough coffee for both our consumption which caused a second pot to have to be made. I searched for and found this large 59oz french press and bought it. We have been surprised and elated at the press doing a fantastic job. Not only do we make less than the total press capacity, but we have the option to make more than we usually make if we need to (like a rough night!) Also the press seems to keep the coffee a lot hotter while it is brewing....this was noticeable on the first day we used it! We experienced NO GROUNDS in the coffee and the press cleaned up easily and completely! We love this french press. The only problem is that we didn't buy it SOONER!" —Robert C.
