Strategist staffers are professional problem solvers. No guest bed? Buy a high-quality camping mat. Can’t stand overhead lights? Buy a linen cover. Want more garlic than you can efficiently peel and chop? Get this $10 device that does it for you. So when I asked my colleagues how they organize their homes, I wasn’t surprised to hear about a lot of ingenious hacks (and strongly held opinions on everything from bin-handle shape to the acceptable amount of kitchen chaos). Below are 33 Strategist-approved items for getting the most use out of your objects, from a pink tackle box for Barbie shoes to a turntable that saves sauces from expiring in the back of the fridge.
