There are few things more challenging than trying to cook when you don't have enough counter space — as someone who has an annoyingly small kitchen, it's something I struggle with every day.

The solution is to find dedicated spaces to stow everything in. So far, IKEA's kitchen storage options have been my go-to, but recently I happened upon Wayfair's kitchen organization section, and it blows IKEA's efforts out of the water. It's jam-packed with clever storage solutions that make the most of every last kitchen nook and cranny.

I'm talking magnetic shelving that snaps to the side of your refrigerator. I'm talking expandable drawer organizers, and skinny shelving units that can be wheeled into the tiniest slivers of space. I'm talking double-tiered bread bins that also have space for things to be placed on top of them, and can caddies that stack up in your cabinets.

There are inspired ideas for every kind of kitchen, most of these really shine if you're trying to maximize a small space. What's more, none of these items requires assembly or DIY. Scroll down for my a selection of my favorite Wayfair storage solutions to help you reclaim your countertops.
