Arranging all of your items, from toiletries to jewelry, in a Marie Kondo-approved fashion shouldn’t be overwhelming or expensive. Instead, you need a few smart designs by your side that keep all your essentials orderly without blowing your budget.
Whenever we have an organizing conundrum, there’s one brand we turn to time and time again: Umbra. The Toronto-based company creates sleek, modern designs that seamlessly blend into a variety of decor styles, blending fun with functionality.
Best yet? Their prices start at just $7 (yes, you read that right).
We spoke with Matt Carr, Umbra's vice president of design and organizing aficionado, to learn why organizers and homebodies alike love the brand.
Carr stands by the brand for its originality and products that truly work in every home. Umbra's designers focus on creating everyday objects that are cool, casual, functional, and affordable. They each have a unique feel, yet sit alongside your existing decor seamlessly.
"We create original products with purpose to enrich your home’s personality," Carr says.
Scroll on for 15 of our favorite and budget-friendly Umbra organizing products.
Set of Three Conceal Shelves
Stylish storage is key to creating an organized home, and that’s where this set of floating bookshelves comes in handy. They make the most of wall space with a discreet look, letting the book spines shine.
Hang them together for a dazzling display or separately wherever you could use a small pile of reading material, like next to your bed.
"With a blend of function and form, our organizational tools are easy to live with and adaptable to multiple areas in the home," Carr says.
Estique Over the Door Organizer
Storage space is golden, no matter how much square footage you’re working with. This organizer, with rounded wooden pegs that protect your delicate knits from snags and holes, can either be wall-mounted or hung over a door using the included hooks.
Your pantry, entryway, or closet (or perhaps all of the above) will be organized in a flash—and, perhaps, forever.
Estique Shelf with Hooks
May you never scurry around your house exclaiming, “Where are my keys?” again. This entryway solution has it all: a shelf, a tray, and 10 hooks. With this hung next to your door you’ll have all your everyday essentials within arm’s reach.
Bellwood Over the Toilet Shelf
Can you ever have enough bathroom storage? This stylish over-the-toilet organizer, which includes three wooden tiers each with a dowel bar, provides elevated storage in your home’s smallest room so all your towels and toiletries will be within easy reach.
Set of Three Buddy Wall Hooks
Lacking floor space for a traditional (and oftentimes bulky) coat rack? This set of hooks, three of Umbra’s popular Buddy characters arranged in various climbing positions, are not only adorable but space-saving and conversation-starting too.
This set is available in several color options, from all white and all black to a trio of eye-catching colors or soothing grays.
"Our team of international designers brings thought and creativity into everyday items," Carr says, including what could be boring (but definitely aren't) hooks.
Skyline Five Wall Hook
Part art piece, part storage solution, and entirely brilliant—this affordable option (just $25) features a skyline silhouette with flip-down hooks camouflaged into the design. Your scarves and bags will always have a home, and when not in use for storage, it looks just as cool as wall art.
Dachsie Ring Holder
There’s no need to take your jewelry storage too seriously. This dachshund-shaped ring holder definitely doesn’t. Its shiny metallic finish adds an elegant touch to a practical piece that any jewelry lover needs. Plus, at just $17, it makes for a memorable, affordable gift.
Estique Mirror with Hooks
Check your look before heading out the door with this minimalist entryway solution. With a just-big-enough mirror, an integrated tray, and six hooks, you’ll be able to breeze out the door (on time) with all of your essentials.
Bellwood Garment Rack
When your closet won’t suffice, a clothing rack—like this cool and curved Umbra design—is a must. Another idea: if your guest bedroom closet is stuffed to the brim with storage (your high school yearbooks have to go somewhere), add this as a thoughtful touch so your friends and family can unpack and organize.
"Its simplicity and quality materials make it long-lasting and easy to use," Carr says.
Stowit Mini Storage Box
This simple jewelry box adds a streamlined touch to your nightstand or dresser, all while ensuring your necklaces won’t tangle and bracelets won't be lost.
Set of Two Cubiko Adhesive Shower Bins
Store your shampoo in style with this set of two adhesive shower bins. They come in both black and white, either of which can be easily integrated into a variety of bathroom decor styles, with non-damaging, waterproof adhesive strips that can be applied to a variety of surfaces.
Pirouette Cosmetic Organizer
If it looks like a tornado tore through your makeup bag, switch to using this Umbra organizer instead. Each compartment rotates 360 degrees and can be rearranged and locked into place, so you can accommodate all kinds of products, including tall brushes.
Prisma Jewelry Tray
There’s no shortage of ways to put this geometric tray to work. For starters, it can hold your jewelry, accommodate all of your perfumes, or act as a general trinket catcher. At just $15, you may want one for every room of your house.
Bellwood Three-Tier Spice Shelf
Never knock over the oregano while reaching for the cinnamon again. This spice shelf features three expandable tiers, so you can customize it to best fit your cupboard or countertop.
