“I want you to cherish your things,” says Marie Kondo, the sunny 34-year-old star of Tidying Up With Marie Kondo on Netflix and our favorite organizer-in-chief. “Tidying isn’t the end goal. It’s the beginning. You value the things you decide to keep. That purifies the air around you and helps you have a nice home.” Inspired by Kondo’s popular KonMari organization method, here are products that solve common storage problems.

Box It Up!

“When I meet with a client, I bring a variety of empty boxes with me,” Kondo says. “They might be shoe boxes, makeup boxes or sweets boxes that I can reuse to organize a drawer.” Colorful Felt Drawer Organizers ($8 each, containerstore.com) or Roobee Storage Boxes ($9–$11, michaels.com) will help keep socks, lingerie and other items rolled and upright, just the way Kondo says they want to be.

Bag It

You will not find Kondo schlepping around too much stuff in a large bag. She keeps it light and practical with a purse that can stand upright on its own and be used as a handheld or shoulder bag, like the Boxy Tote Handbag from A New Day. $37, target.com

DelilahUtensilJar-FTR

Like With Like

One of Kondo’s principles is to store items that are the same shape or length together. For utensils, which come in all shapes, “you can stand them upright in a container on the counter or store them in their own compartments or boxes in the drawer.” We like the Delilah Utensil Jar to keep like-size spatulas and spoons nearby. $42, anthropologie.com

GiraffeStorageShelf-FTR

Toy Story

Kondo has been “astonished” by the abundance of toys in American homes. Corral those playthings that pass the “spark joy” test in the Giraffe Bookcase. $500, crateandbarrel.com
