Is your home full of clutter magnets? These spaces—your kitchen counter, your closet, your bathroom cabinets, and your bookshelf—can easily become overwhelmed with mismatched items, adding to stress in your home. It can feel daunting to tackle a decluttering project, but start with the organizing essentials that'll make your life easier. We brought in the experts—professional organizers, to be exact—to help with your Marie Kondo-ing journey. We asked them one simple question: What organizational items from Amazon do you love and buy repeatedly? If you're wondering why we're targeting Amazon, it's because the e-commerce giant is currently hosting Prime Day. For the next four days, there are major sitewide discounts, so you can buy any container or storage item on Amazon your heart desires, often with two-day shipping.
With Prime Day finally underway, now is the perfect time to stock up on expert-approved storage pieces without exceeding your shopping budget. Ahead, check out what professional organizers always buy on Amazon, and if you see something you like, simply click 'add to cart.'

"I love these airtight glass jars for clients who don't want plastic storage containers for their pantry. They're pretty enough to sit on a counter and also practical enough with the rubber bottom so they don't slide or slam down on the counter."
"When your cabinets aren't fully optimized, or perhaps you have a deep cabinet or pantry, these pull-out drawers are the perfect fit. I love using these drawers in pantries to fully maximize the space."
