Who said that pantry organization had to be bland?
What started in San Francisco as a professional organizing company has recently expanded into a line of retail products. Fusing function and aesthetic, Neat Method’s inspired items not only look clean and polished but organize your life.
Your kitchen benefits from canister collections, Acacia wooden drawer inserts and turntables, and airtight glass spice jars with sticker labels, while the rest of your home employs braided seagrass baskets, wire grids with wooden bases, and tweedy Oxford bins for whatever you need to store.

OXO recently launched new shapes and sizes for everyday items, from coffee to cereal, oatmeal to sugar. The sturdy, BPA-free construction also boasts curved corners so every dispense is a smooth one.
Bonus: you can use them any place you want more organization (your kid’s Legos will never know what hit them).

While ClosetMaid was formerly known for its closet wire shelving in the 60s, it has now blossomed into a brand for all of your organizational needs.
This household name in organization has remained for generations because of its ability to tackle the home’s most chaotic places: the garage, the kitchen, and closets. Accordingly it’s sold widely at retailers, including home improvement stores like The Home Depot and Lowe’s.
What began in 1965 as the first manufacturer of ventilated wire shelving for closets is now a kingdom of organizational products for your castle. ClosetMaid offers iconic wire and laminate/wood storage systems for almost anywhere in your home, from snacks in the pantry to hanging bikes in the garage.
The brand has since added decorative storage to its inventory, with fabric cubes in various colors and patterns.

Add an artistic twist to your bedroom organization with eclectic pieces from Umbra.
Based in Toronto, Canada, Umbra (Latin for “shade”) began in 1979 as a window shade maker. Today, the brand helps shine the light on organization with unique items to help you fix up your space.
Sleek and simple finishes and design help the usual pieces blend into your décor with purpose.

For all those instances where there's just not enough space.
Whether it’s a shelf riser for your closet or a nesting tray for snacks, this company is a no-brainer for your space. Items help organize just what its name indicates: open spaces, from your entryway with shoe racks to all the home’s other nooks and crannies.
Open Spaces’ underbed storage is a favorite, made of gray compressed felt of recycled plastic bottle fibers with slightly rigid lids and genuine leather handles. The brand even has wooden drawer divides that bring some semblance of organization to your kitchen catchall.
