Most Popular Kitchen Arrangement Aids on TikTok
Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are filled with suggestions for cleansing your living space, and some of these tips are truly effective. Viral hacks can be hit or miss, whereas item recommendations tend to be successful. But why stop at cleaning products? Social media also offers valuable advice for organizing your belongings. Let's start in the kitchen: Here are the items TikTok users rave about.
Distinctive kitchen organization tools, as per TikTok
There are numerous pre-made, function-specific kitchen organization products available. Creators appreciate these, and we'll cover some, but first, let me share some unique alternatives. Think about objects you can get from a dollar store and utilize in multiple ways.
To begin with, many TikTok users concur with me that turntables, or lazy Susans, are the holy grail of organization and sorting, both in the kitchen and beyond. They are correct: Spinning racks provide the opportunity to store similar items together while preserving a hierarchy. Less-frequently used items can be placed in the back, but they can still be easily accessed with a quick spin of the turntable. Naturally, you think of spices (and should use one in the spice cabinet, if space allows), but they're also helpful for the fridge, cleaning products, snacks, and small cookware and dinnerware, such as cups. Get a pack of four for $24.99.

I enjoy using containers to keep similar items together and assign them a specific storage space, but removing lids and stacking bins can hinder efficiency—an issue that book organizers solve. They're open in front, yet structured enough to hold items such as spices, snacks, or smaller goods. Six are $15.
Then again, you can't go wrong with a collection of small, straightforward, plastic containers. They store ingredients, spices, snacks, and any other kitchen excess, and they're popular despite their simplicity.
TikTok-approved kitchen organization
Fitting all your kitchen essentials into dollar store containers is one task. At times, you require products designed for particular tasks within the room. A fantastic instance is this plastic structure that holds soup and vegetable cans:
This makes use of vertical space, so your cans don't take up too much space spread out in your cupboard, but also aren't just stacked cans precariously on top of each other. You have a few options here. One similar to the organizer in the video will cost around $50, but you can also find wire organizers for a cheaper price, around $23. I also like this can organizer that fits around the interior of your cabinet, providing additional shelving space on top while keeping the center space open. It's $26.99.
I've also had my eye on a dry goods dispenser like the one featured in this video. Various options are available on the market, but this straightforward one ($36) has six compartments and is perfect for storing and dispensing flour, sugar, cereal, rice, etc. Because I'm particular about matching decor, I'm waiting for a pink one to go on sale before making a purchase, but take a look:

I adore these because they make it simple to access what you need in the back without causing a mess. Ideal for larger ingredients and cleaning supplies, these will maintain your cabinets organized at a price of around $50.
Besides the turntables and book organizers mentioned earlier, TikTok users also recommend investing in a can organizer to maximize vertical space in your kitchen cupboards. These organizers, like the one priced around $26.99, keep cans organized and prevent them from taking up too much space.
Another TikTok-approved kitchen organization tool is the dry goods dispenser. With multiple compartments and a 360-degree rotating design, these dispensers, such as the one priced at $36, make it easy to store and access ingredients like flour, sugar, and rice.
