Every home has that one drawer you have to shove shut. This list covers all of them.

In the kitchen, a utensil organizer is the first fix: Taste of Home and BestReviews picked the ones here, from a narrow cutlery stacker to an expandable bamboo tray. Spices can move into a drawer too, with inserts America's Test Kitchen reviewed for staying put. For the junk drawer, professional organizers who talked to HGTV say to start by emptying it, toss what you don't use, then add simple trays so everything has a zone. Dresser dividers and fabric bins handle socks and tees. Each card shows the drawback the outlet called out. Measure the width, depth and height of each drawer before you buy.

Who this is not for. Skip this if it's your closet that's overflowing; the Closet Organization list has the hangers, hanging shelves and shoe racks.

Questions people ask

How do you organize a junk drawer?

Empty it, toss what you haven't used lately, then group like with like. Organizer Samantha Pregenzer told HGTV that a few categories can share one container: the goal is function, not perfection.

What should you measure before buying drawer organizers?

Width, depth and height. Taste of Home flags that its compact cutlery pick might be too tall for some drawers, and America's Test Kitchen found extra-large spice jars can stop a drawer from closing.

How do you stop drawer organizers from sliding?

Pick trays with rubber feet or a rubber base, like the Seseno tray and the Three by Three metal set. Professional organizer Holly Blakey also told HGTV she uses clear museum gel to keep containers in place.
