There's something incredibly soothing about watching mess turn into order. That's probably why It's so easy to fall down the rabbit hole of watching one TikTok organizing video after another. The images of perfectly neat fridges, cabinets, and closets are usually enough motivation to get me into full organizing mode.The first step to organized bliss is, of course, finding the right containers to hold the mess. But if you've ever searched "storage bins," you've probably become overwhelmed by the options. That's where we come in because we've already rounded up the best organization products to keep your home in order.
We've spoken with an expert to get their tips on finding the best storage bins (more on that below) and shopped our way through Target for top-rated options. These Target organizers, from the stylish ones to the practical designs, are all budget-friendly options for turning the bedroom, bathroom, desk, and more from chaotic to zen.
13 Target storage bins and cubes that'll bring order to your home
Why you can trust Real Homes Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
To help you sort through the many, many storage options out there, we consulted Karen Windholz, the professional organizer behind Sort Toss Repeat, who says the first step to getting organized is breaking out your measuring tape. "When investing in storage bins, always measure the space where the bins will be used. This is extremely important in order to completely maximize the space," she says.Style and color are totally up to you, but you're better off buying one type rather than going for that mix-and-match look. "Choose bins that are durable and can be multifunctional in spaces, stick to neutral colors or clear bins, preferably all the same kind of storage bins to create a cohesive look. As always label all the storage bins so that you know what's inside them".
1. iDESIGN Cade Lidded Storage Bin
Pretty in pink
Made from: Plastic
Size (in): H5.75 x W6.38 x L11.88
This blush-colored bin proves that bathroom organizers don't have to be dull. The container was designed to conceal extra toilet paper rolls of all sizes and also fits tissues, cleaning wipes, and other important, but not-worthy-of-display products. The BPA-free plastic is easy to clean and the bottom of the bin has non-skid feet that'll keep it in place on top of the toilet tank or inside cabinets. The sunken lid can be used as a little display ledge for a candle, or small plant — or for stacking with more bins if one just isn't enough.
2. Room Essentials Storage Cube
Cute and cubed
Made from: Fabric
Size (in): H11 x W10.5 x D10.5
Did somebody say cuuuute? This handy little number is perfect for keeping clothes — especially your undies and lingerie — tidy and organized how you like them. We're here for the baby-pink color, but there are plenty of hues to choose from that would work seamlessly with neutral or maximalist decor. Oh, and this design comes with a hidden feature: It folds and collapses for quick transportation, ideal for dorm living. We love this closet organizer.
3. Brightroom Underbed Fabric Storage Bin with Lid
Out of sight, out of mind
Made from: Cardboard and fabric
Size (in): H6.5 x W12.75 x L24.75
One of the easiest ways to make more room for storage is to maximize the area under your bed or couch. But cramming things down there in random boxes and bags is a guaranteed organizing headache, which is where these highly-rated underbed storage containers from Target's Brightroom line come in. The rectangular fabric bins have handles that make them easy to move around and the lids open half side at a time so you don't need to pull the entire thing out to find a sweater.
4. Room Essentials 6-Quart Storage Tubs with Lids
A super affordable set
Made from: Plastic
Size (in): H13.5 x W4.62 x L8.12
The versatility of these stackable, lidded storage bins cannot be beat. Use them to corral all the miscellaneous knick knacks that don't quite have a home and save yourself time from hunting for them later. The clear base makes it easy to see what's inside, while the mint green lids add a lowkey pop of color. Depending on your size, they may be big enough to hold shoes and at $8 for a pack of 5, you won't have to break the bank to stock up for your entire collection.
5. Room Essentials Hanging Closet Organizer
A hanging cube organizer
Made from: Canvas and polyester
Size (in): H26 x W12 x D12
When it comes to clothing, certain materials, like wool and cashmere, deserve a little TLC. Indeed, hangers are not a sweater vest's friend! Fortunately, this Target closet organizer offers a storage solution, preventing unwanted snags or tears in your precious garments. With three shelves, this design is also an ingenious use of space, hanging from your typical closet's clothes rail. It's not made for your heaviest items, but where your separates are concerned, it's more than capable, holding up to 18 pounds.
6. Juvale Faux Leather Collapsible Storage Bins
Stylish storage
Made from: Polyurethane
Size (in): H6.5 x W9.5 x L10
These faux leather storage bins look far more expensive than they are, but don't worry your secret is safe with us. Fill one with office supplies for your WFH desk setup or create a self-care goodie basket for off-hours relaxing — whatever you choose to do with them, we bet you'll find them as eye-catching as they are useful. Even better, they fold up flat so storing these storage baskets is simple, too. We've got plenty more desk organizers where this one came from.
7. Hearth & Hand™with Magnolia Woven Storage Bins
Natural beauty
Made from: Rattan and metal
Size (in): H4 x W6 x L10
You can never go wrong with a timeless material like rattan. This woven bin is storage that makes a statement, not the kind of nondescript box you hide in a closet. The open top gives you easy access to what's inside and the cutout handles on the side help you pull them on and off the shelves with ease. Plus, they have the Joanna Gaines seal of approval. It's hard to top that. This would make the perfect kitchen organizer, to fill with fruit and veg.
8. mDesign Closet Organizer
Cubed storage with drawers
Made from: Fabric
Size (in): H53 x W11.75 x D11.75
What's not to love? It's tall, primed with seven shelves and three drawers, and it hangs from your closet's rail. Oh, and did I mention it folds away into one compact piece? For someone like me, this works wonders, providing endless cubbies and compartments to keep my threads. It's also breathable and durable, plus, maintenance is a breeze, requiring only a light spruce courtesy of a damp cloth and air drying if and when required.
9. Brightroom Paulownia Wooden Potato Bin
Rustic appeal
Made from: Wood
Size: H11" x W13" x L14"
Despite its name, potato bins can store far more than, well, potatoes. With an angled opening, this bin is perfect for placing in spots where you need easy access, like your entryway or closet. The light wood and original farmhouse function give it a rustic edge, but the overall design is simple enough that the bins will fit right in no matter the decor style of your home.
10. Brightroom Organizer Bin with Handles
A storage all-star
Made from: Polypropylene
Size (in): H6.5 x W6 x L9
Though they're billed for the bathroom, these sturdy containers can work their organizing magic anywhere (I literally have one in every room of my apartment). The plastic feels hefty, but they're still light enough to easily move around thanks to the cutout handles. They have a modular, space-saving design that allows for stacking and there are two convenient sizes to choose from. It's no surprise they have nearly 300 five-star reviews.
11. Room Essentials 18-Gallon Storage Bin
The practical option
Made from: Polypropylene
Size (in): H6.5 x W6 x L9
Are these good looking? The honest answer is not really. But sometimes function does triumph over form, especially when it comes to large storage totes. What this one lacks in style, it makes up for in durability and affordability. The lids snap tightly to the base and the end panels have molded handles for easy gripping. The gray color is neutral enough that, if they do end up being visible, they're not a total eyesore.
12. Mdesign Food Storage Organizer Bins
A clear winner
Made from: Plastic
Size (in): H3 x W4 x L10
Say hello to a Pinterest-worthy fridge. These clear BPA-free bins are the key to bringing order to one of the most overwhelming spots in the home. Use them to organize condiment bottles, yogurt cups, and cans of sparkling water so you can keep an eye on what needs a refill. Pro tip: Make one a designated "Use ASAP" bin for close-to-expiring products, which will not only help lower food waste, but also say you money in the long run.
13. Brightroom Fabric Storage Cubes
For organizing your linen
Size (in): H13 x W13 x L13
Made from: 70% recycled polyester
Want easy, practical access to your sheets? With the zip front on these boxes, you can easily rotate your sheets without having to get the boxes in and out of your closet every time. The cube shape also looks smart, whether you’re planning on storing them in a row or stacking them.
