How you store the things you love or regularly use can impact their longevity, cost you time scouring shelves and closets, and can even affect your mood. A favorite silk blouse lost in a sea of sweaters or bunched up on a shelf will live out its days wrinkled and unworn. Digging through a drawer of mismatched socks, or loose makeup products will become a less than grounding morning routine. And a smelly gym bag could put you off working out, indefinitely.

Luckily, Amazon's home department is full of things that make your closets and drawers so much better, like smart storage systems, space-saving hangers, and even a few products that tackle unpleasant odors.

All of these products aim to make the best of your home's space. If you have overflowing closets, there are vertical organizers that take advantage of your limited rods and over-the-door hooks that let you finally see your full handbag collection. Adjustable bamboo dividers will straighten out messes in drawers big and small; scented sachets and liners will give linen closets a delicate, fresh fragrance.

Not only do these things make your closets and drawers look tidier, but they'll also save you time by making everything easy to see and easy to reach.

If you're ready to give your closets, drawers, and cupboards a makeover, you'll find lots of amazing tools from Amazon to help you on the list below.
