10 of the Most Ingenious Home Organization Tools from Yamazaki Home

With spring cleaning #goals just around the corner, it might be a good time to check out Japanese home goods company Yamazaki Home. Yamazaki designs ingenious pieces for all uses and needs in the home: A place to hang your bananas, a stovetop grid organizer, linen and clothing racks, shoe storage, jewelry stands, desk accessories — the list goes on and on. 

There is no area its brilliant design team hasn't completely thought out and made better. Not only that, its products are stylish with a sleek Scandinavian vibe — most of them are white with light wood accents — which means you won't mind putting them on display. Even their trash bins are cute!

As we’ve been Marie Kondo-ing our entire house since January, we’re finding Yamazaki goods entirely necessary. Not sure what we love more, the Chain Joint Bag Hanger, which has revolutionized our closet, or the Magnetic Kitchen Rack, which has freed up so much counter space! Is there such a thing as Yamazaki obsession? 

We have pulled together some of our favorite Yamazaki Home pieces below, but the amazing full line of products can be found at Amazon, Wayfair, and other online retailers, so check it out. But beware, once you start organizing the Yamazaki way, you won’t be able to stop!
