The cabinet under the sink in your bathroom or kitchen can be tricky to use, especially if the sink pipe is in the way — which is why the best under-sink organizers are designed to fit around that pipe, take advantage of vertical space, and generally help you declutter.
When selecting an under-sink organizer, it’s important to think about how much space you have to work with. Under-the-sink organizers come in many shapes and sizes, and it’s vital to make sure that the organizer will actually fit the space. Some organizers are adjustable in size, too, so you can get your items to fit just right, no matter what kind of space you’re dealing with.
Beyond adjustability, different types of organizers are designed to address different needs and types of cabinet space:
- If you have a lot of vertical space: a multi-tier organizer may be the best way to utilize it. Multi-tier organizers may feature shelves or can have sliding baskets to stash away your items.
- If you have a deep cabinet: a slide-out organizer may be best so that you can easily reach the items at the back. A lazy Susan-style shelf that spins can also help you to easily access all of your items.
- If you have a smaller cabinet: you might also consider organizers that can hang on the cabinet door. Some have specific compartments to hold hair tools in your bathroom, while others are simple basket-style organizers.
And remember — you can always mix and match organizers to fill your cabinet space and meet your needs. Read on to learn about seven incredible organizers that have helped Amazon reviewers turn the wasted space under their sinks into functional storage.

I had originally purchased an open shelving unit thinking that would help me to stay organized, but the shelving still allowed things to look messy. Purchasing this product has solved my issue! You can store a surprising amount of things into the baskets, and they held a lot more than I expected. It was super easy to put together, you only need a screwdriver to attach the top flat part. Everything else just slides into place with little buttons that pop out to hold the unit together. It was such a quick and easy process to organize under my sink!"
