Door organizers are a bit like necessary evils. Sure, they're a convenient way to use a door for storage. They use space that's otherwise wasted, and turn a door into a great spot to keep things organized and off the floor. But, more often than not, they're not particularly well thought-out, and they're a little bit ugly. If you're bored of the one you have, it might be time to retire your old door organizer with a chic and efficient Amazon find.

This is the Tajsoon over the door organizer. It's a three-in-one hanging organizer that has a shelf on top, a few hooks hanging from it, some additional hooks on the sides, and some shoe and slipper holders at the bottom. It's about 65 inches tall and 16 inches wide, and it is designed to be hooked on top of a door. The shelf can hold 60 pounds of weight, and you can hang clothes, umbrellas, and dog leashes from the S-shape hooks. Plus, you can also use that bar to hang clothes hangers. On the sides, there are 12 smaller hooks that you can use to hang bags, keys, and headphones. And, at the bottom, there are two rows of shoe organizers that can store four pairs of shoes.

This clever organizer comes in black or in white, and it costs only $39.99. It's great for renters and college students, since it doesn't require any drilling to install. It's also perfect for any room that doesn't have a ton of storage.

How to use this over-the-door organizer at home

While this organizer suits many situations, it isn't perfect for every room. If your door opens against a wall, the organizer might be an issue because it isn't flat. The top shelf has sharp corners, and it will hit the wall, which can damage both the wall and the metal over time. Plus, it will prevent you from opening the door fully. Therefore, this is best used on doors that don't open directly against a wall.

If that's an issue for you, consider other placements. This can go on the door of a closet, for example. There, use it to hang tomorrow's outfit and to keep your shoes off the floor. You can also use this as a laundry room storage solution, especially if you like to hang clothes to air dry or to steam them. And, finally, use it to organize your guest bathroom by hanging a robe for your visitors, some slippers underneath, and leave a few extra rolls of toilet paper on the shelf. 

Before you order it, make sure that your door is compatible. It needs to be 2 inches thick or less in order for the hooks to clasp over it. You'll also need two millimeters of clearance between the door and the frame to make sure the organizer doesn't cause a jam. If you're noticing the door sticking in the frame after installing the organizer, swipe the top of it a few times with some sandpaper.
