If you’re looking for organizing supplies, you don’t need to look much further than The Container Store. Aptly named, it is the ultimate destination for storage containers, accessories, and organizing systems. Even professional organizers frequently use products from The Container Store, both in their own homes and for their clients.
To help you organize your space like a pro, we asked two professional organizers what’s always in their cart at The Container Store. Here are the top five products they buy again and again.

Everything Organizer Deep Turntable
The Container Store
According to Juliana Meidl, owner of home organization company Serenity at Home, the product they use the most in their projects is the Everything Organizer Deep Turntable.
“It is a game changer in a kitchen/pantry to store oils, spices, and snacks,” she says. “We also use it under sinks for storing cleaning supplies [and] in bathrooms to contain hair products, other toiletries, and medications [or] supplements. It is also great in playrooms for art supplies.”
In addition to its spinning function, Meidl notes that the removable inserts allow for more or less categorization depending on your needs.
The tall edges help keep products in place, while the durable, clear plastic design makes it easy to keep track of the contents.

The Home Edit by iDesign Pantry Cannisters
The Container Store
For Christina Lee, CEO and co-founder of Graceful Spaces Organizing, The Home Edit Pantry Cannisters are a staple in her pantry and kitchen organizing projects.
“We rely on them for decanting dry goods, storing grab-and-go snacks, and even organizing dish pods beneath the kitchen sink,” she says.
These pantry organizers feature a clear plastic design with silicone gaskets in the lids, creating an airtight seal to preserve freshness. The simple and sleek design offers a clean, streamlined look for a more elevated aesthetic, whether you’re organizing your pantry or open shelving in your kitchen.
They are also modular, so all three available sizes can be easily stacked together for maximum space efficiency.
“For added functionality, we recommend labeling the lid or side of each canister and affixing any instructions or expiration dates to the bottom,” says Lee.
iDesign Adhesive Organizer Bins
The Container Store
You can maximize every square inch of space with the iDesign Adhesive Organizer Bins.
“Small but mighty, these bins are our secret weapon for adding structure to otherwise wasted cabinet and wall space,” Lee says.
“From bathrooms to kitchens, we stick them where clients need quick access to the little things (like scrub brushes or beauty tools) without sacrificing style or counter space.”
These clear yet powerful organizing containers feature adhesive backs for convenient storage wherever you need it. Thanks to the drainage holes at the bottom of each container, they won’t accumulate moisture, making them suitable for humid environments, such as bathrooms or showers.
Water Hyacinth Braided Weave Bins
The Container Store
For open shelving or spaces where hiding clutter in plain sight is the goal, Lee says the Water Hyacinth Braided Weave Bins are her go-to.
“These bins bring warmth and texture to any space, and we love using them to soften shelves while keeping items neatly tucked away,” she says. “We often use them as large category bins in a pantry or backstock in a linen closet.”
Hand-woven over a metal frame, these baskets are just as sturdy as they are beautiful, making them a practical option for bathrooms, living rooms, playrooms, laundry rooms, and more. Grab them in two sizes, medium and large, depending on your project needs.
like-it Stack-Up Storage Containers
The Container Store
Ideal for storage both indoors and outdoors, the like-it Stack-Up Storage Containers are practical yet stylish.
“We opt for these containers for elevated outdoor storage,” Lee says. “They are streamlined, sleek, and the inserts offer the ability to microcategorize within the larger bin. These are our favorite containers for garages and attic space.”
These tote bins are available in three sizes: inner, shallow, and deep. They’re stackable, modular, and waterproof, offering numerous uses and applications.
