Walmart might be your go-to for everything from pantry staples to the latest kids’ toys, but there’s another major product category that’s always worth shopping: organizing solutions. Since Walmart.com is fully stocked with all kinds of products to keep clutter at bay, we tapped professional organizers to find out the best storage solutions the retailer has right now.

“One thing I always remind clients is that organizing products should support your life—not complicate it,” says Rachel Rosenthal of Rachel & Company. “The best systems are usually the ones that are simple enough to actually maintain.”

Below, Rosenthal and two other organizing experts share product recommendations to help streamline any space in your home, from the kitchen to the bathroom.

Woven storage bins are one of the most versatile organizing solutions you can have in your home, and they can add visual appeal to your space, too. Rosenthal is a fan of this particular design, which features handles for easy carrying.

“These woven wicker baskets are great for mudrooms, open shelving, closets, playrooms, or really anywhere you want storage to feel a little softer and more elevated while still holding a ton,” says Rosenthal of the six-pack.

Whether you need to keep a few of your favorite reads in order or display a collection of small decorative accents, this reeded bookcase is another must-have, according to Rosenthal.

“It looks much more expensive than it is and works beautifully for books, styling pieces, baskets, office supplies, kids’ spaces, or extra storage in almost any room,” she says of the style, which features four shelves and a fluted drawer for items you’d rather keep under wraps.

When it comes to organizers, Anne Steppe, founder of Step by Steppe Professional Organizing, likes to keep a stash of Hefty compression storage bags around. Perfect for small-space dwellers, the reusable bags come in a slew of sizes and work well for storing all sorts of bulky items—think blankets, stuffed animals, and seasonal decor.

There’s another way Steppe likes to use them: “These are ideal when helping a kiddo get packed up for college. Otherwise, comforters and clothes can quickly fill up a car,” says Steppe.

Tired of things getting buried in the back of your deep kitchen cabinets? Shaniece Jones says pull-out organizers are a game-changer, as they “put everything within reach, whether it's under the kitchen sink, bathroom vanity, or those hard-to-access corner cabinets.”

This pack of two is currently 45% off and they’re adjustable (width ranges are 11.6 inches to 17.5 inches). “No drill required, easy to install, and durable enough to hold everything from cleaning products to hair care,” Jones adds.

Thanks to this container with a sliding lid, pantry staples like rice and oatmeal can have a dedicated spot. “I love the clear design, which means you never have to guess what's inside, and the slide lid gives you easy access without fully removing the top,” Jones says. The minimalist design is a nice touch, too.

Don’t stress if you’re short on cabinet space. A rolling utility cart is the next best thing. “I love it for school supplies, hair products, bathroom storage, arts and crafts, snacks, or even as extra kitchen storage,” Rosenthal says. Plus, besides the white option shown here, you can choose from other colors like black, pink, and yellow.

Glass storage containers can be used for so much more than food. Steppe relies on this pick, complete with adjustable compartments, to store hydration packets, protein bars, and even spice packets. “Outside the pantry, they also work well for storing makeup,” she says of the 33-ounce design.

“This expandable organizer is great for cabinets or drawers that have pots and pans stacked on top of each other,” says Jones. “It keeps everything upright, protects your cookware, and finally gives pot lids a designated home.”

Just be sure to measure the height and depth of your cabinet or drawer before purchasing it, Jones warns. This step is crucial to “make sure that when they are upright, there is enough clearance to pull them in and out of the space.”

Every inch counts when you have a compact layout, which means you shouldn’t overlook the space under your bathroom sink. “It’s one of the most underutilized areas in the home, with the odd pipes and products that disappear into the back making it feel impossible to organize, but this two-tier clear organizer helps to solve that by maximizing vertical space and keeping everything visible and within reach,” Jones explains.

Use the three-piece set for organizing bathroom cleaning products, skincare, or hair essentials. “I also love that it's acrylic and won't be an eyesore,” Jones adds.

‘Tis the season to store things like bulky sweaters, winter coats, and heavy bedding. The perfect solution to keep your items in good shape? Rosenthal says clear storage bins can get the job done.

“Summer is such a good time to organize garages, basements, seasonal storage, keepsakes from the school year, outdoor supplies, and overflow household items. Clear bins make it easier to actually see what you own while also protecting everything long term,” she says of this pick, available in sizes ranging from 30 qt. to 46 qt.

Not only are these bamboo dividers adjustable, Jones says they’re brilliant for keeping any drawer clutter-free. “They work for your kitchen utensil drawer or junk drawer, as they do in your bathroom drawers and closet to separate undergarments, folded tees, leggings, or accessories,” Jones says. She also recommends them for home office desks, baby dressers, and even nightstands.
