Drawer Organizers
Dear Dwell,
My junk drawer is out of control. Can you help me find a way to get it closed?
—Lisa Scofield, Palo Alto, California
Dear Lisa,
We feel your pain. The junk drawer conundrum is a widespread epidemic. Fortunately, there is a surplus of solutions tailored for the compulsive and careless alike. While we still think there should be a requisite spot for twine, manuals, and menus, these organizers will definitely help rid your house of hodgepodge.

Viola Drawer Organizer
This is one of the few products that infuses a bit of color into the gaggle of cords and batteries that typically inhabit junk drawers. These containers are bigger and deeper than the rest of the pack. The Viola takes a punk-rock approach to taxonomy—just toss it all in, no dividers to regiment uniformity.- Made by: The Container Store
- Price: $3.99-7.99
-
Silver Mesh Office Drawer Organizer
Like the Viola organizers—and NFL running back Jerome Bettis—these mesh bins are on the larger side. Junk drawers accumulate mess from the careless tossing of miscellany, and these durable metal receptacles are willing gluttons for punishment. Each compartment is sold individually, so you can customize as the demand increases.- Made by: The Container Store
- Price: $2.49-5.99
-
Bamboo Drawer Organizers
In addition to being a sustainable material, bamboo has a striking color striation to its grain, and is nice enough to be displayed just about anywhere. These crafted modular boxes are big enough to tackle a commercial tape measure, yet small enough to bring order to the typical origami of forgotten keys and loose thread.- Made by: The Container Store
- Price: $3.99-6.99
-
Acrylic Drawer Organizer Set
This modular set gives you the handy option of situating the separate compartments according to your needs, which could be quite helpful in the likely event that an oddball object won’t fit. The clear acrylic construction has the mystical power to transform those banal scissors into the kind of haute, curated objects you’d see at Moss.- Made by: The Container Store
- Price: $19.99
