Sharing the best bins for organizing your home!! These are what I use all throughout my apartment to organize pretty much everything.

At this point, I feel like an expert on bins to help you organize. I’ve tried SO many and have really narrowed down my go-tos that I rely on basically every day in a variety of places around my apartment. Bins are just the best way to keep a space organized with things put away in their place!

I’ve definitely been guilty in the past of throwing things in a bin and thinking my organizing project was complete, or putting things in a bin to deal with/sort through later on. So I really try and be mindful of how I’m using them. I want to be using them to organize and make the most efficient use of my space, not mask the fact that I’m putting off organizing something, you know what I mean?

From my teeny pantry, to my linen closet, under the sink and everywhere else, I’ve got probably too much knowledge on organizing bins, so I’m sharing that with y’all here!

PS – I’m sure once we move out of our small apartment and into a bigger space with more areas to organize (!!!) I’ll have even more bins to share with y’all. It’s lame that is something exciting to me, isn’t it…??? Don’t answer that. Anyways…

Best Bins For Organizing

1. Y-Weave Rectangle Bins

These are my ride or dies right here!!!

First of all, I love how these bins come in a variety of sizes and colors. They would work in SO many different spaces in your home. Not a wide range of colors, but enough neutral ones that you could make them work no matter the space/color scheme you’ve got going on.

Even though they are just plastic bins, I think the weave texture to them makes them appear a little more sophisticated than your average plastic bin. Another plus if that is something that matters to you!

Also appreciate that these are AFFORDABLE. Organizing ain’t cheap! But these range from $4 – $8 each, which I feel like isn’t that bad. I reorganized my entire linen closet for like $40-ish, and it’s still working really well for us 2 years later! I’m pretty sure similar bins at the Container Store at easily double that. Not knocking the Container Store, but like I said, it ain’t cheap! They also have a few different sets, which would be a good way to save a bit more.

These bins are high quality and durable! I have used them for years and moved them a handful of times now, and they have held up great. They aren’t flimsy at all, and even ones I use every day show no signs of wear.

I also use these underneath my sink in my bathroom to store various bath and body products.

If you want to get fancy with label clips, these bins would work great for that!

2. iDesign Organizer Bin with Handle

I don’t think you need to go all out with fridge bins, but having a few can really be helpful to effectively utilize the back of the fridge without ending up wasting food you keep back there. Ya feel me? Anyone else immediately forget about any food you have in the back of the fridge until it reminds you it’s there via smell????

Having a few of these bins can be helpful to be able to actually use that space well! You might have to be mindful of what you put in there, but you don’t need to move everything around in order to access it. Just pull out the bins so you grab whatcha need!

3. Clear Handled Storage Baskets

An affordable win from the Container Store! These bins come in 2 sizes and the smaller size has been perfect for our pantry! We don’t have a designated pantry space, so we make it work with a cabinet in our kitchen and in our coat closet. These fit perfectly in the cabinets!

I love that they are clear so you can easily see what food you’re storing. Especially a fan of the fact that they have handles so I can more easily get to the harder to reach shelves! This picture is from our previous apartment, but in our current apartment I have them on the top shelf as well so I can use that space better and easily grab what I need to!

They would be great for under the sink as well since the handles obv makes them easy to grab!

At $3.99 a pop, they’re a great price point and have been really working well for us! PS – rated 4.8/5 stars from over 300 reviews!

4. Feathergrain Wooden Storage Bins

These are the fanciest bins we own lol. But because we have them on display, we wanted to have something a bit nicer. I really like the texture they add to our space and to the tv cabinet/stand situation. The color is stunning! And they hold a LOT.

I wouldn’t go and organize my entire house with these since they are a little pricey, but they’re great for any spaces you’re organizing that are on display. Streamline and efficiently store your stuff, while looking pretty in the process!


I honestly can’t get over how nerdy I sound declaring my passion for BINS of all things, but I guess that’s just how it goes when you’re obsessed with organizing!

Hopefully this post was helpful in figuring out some bins you could utilize to organize and streamline your home, plus some ideas on ways to efficiently use them!
