Marie Kondo has made an art form out of home organization. Through her KonMari Method, she encourages you to only keep items in your home that spark joy (and to purge the rest). She brings her concept to life in her new #trending Netflix series called “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.” If you’re a fan of dramatic before-and-afters, then definitely add this show to your list (we are proud to say that we binge-watched the entire series in one weekend). In the spirit of spring cleaning, we’re going to go de-clutter our whole kitchen in a way that would make Marie proud. Keep reading for our picks on the Amazon products you need to help you master Marie’s method.

We’ve been seeing a ton of #pantrygoals images on our Instagram feed lately from both celebs and normal people like us (look at Khloe Kardashian’s pantry for major inspo). One product every image seems to have in common is clear stackable food storage containers. These containers are great because they allow you to see what’s inside, they stack for maximum storage space, and they help to create uniformity and harmony in your pantry.See It

The infamous junk drawer. We all have one, but Marie encourages us to tackle even that area. Whatever you decide to store in this prized real estate space, the key to keeping it tidy is to give each item a place to call home. To fully organize it, Marie suggests taking everything out of the drawer, organizing items into categories, deciding what to keep/purge, and then placing similar items into their own container, like these see-through trays in various sizes.See It

The drawers pull out and lower to display spices at eye level so you can quickly see your inventory when making your grocery list. Genius!See It
