Waging hygienic and organizational warfare on ones apartment is typically reserved for the springtime. But, considering the economy is at a potential breaking point, people are living in absurdly tiny spaces, and the cold weather is keeping countless cosmopolitan city dwellers locked indoors, what better time to enhance ones living space?

While there are home improvement products galore (and the infomercials to prove it), navigating the world of organizational furniture and accessories can be in a word: overwhelming. So, psychoPEDIA decided to cut out the middleman and highlight some of the handiest, best-designed products around (plus one person who can work wonders with only a whisper):

Hanger Holder ($7.95)
Being forced to inhabit an apartment with no real closets may sound like some sort of urban legend. But, trust us, plenty of Manhattanites can attest to having survived such arduous conditions. To boot, the living spaces that are minus a closet or two typically fall short size-wise too. So, rather than add a stand-alone clothing rack showroom-style, why not opt for this inexpensive, space-conscious Hanger Holder? With a dozen or so places to hang things, you can add this accessory to any room in your humble abode. It’ll keep you clothes easily accounted for, simultaneously reducing stress and clutter.

Pure Nomade (TBD)
Fashion and functionality meet with Pure Nomade's stackable "Hotel" storage boxes. A product created by industrial designer Lilian Adler and her partner Soren Berg, these easily collapsible boxes can used whenever needed and stacked up to 10-feet-high like a mix-and-match furniture puzzle. And, because these paper Hotel boxes come in specially designed prints by Naja Conrad Hansen and Adler herself, they serve as a more eye-catching option for storing everything from shoes and magazines, to little nick-nacks. In addition to functionality, you could probably use these boxes to play a large-scale version of Jenga.

Cosmetic Drawer Organizer ($17.99)
Anyone can tell you there’s nothing more irritating than a messy, disorganized drawer. Whether your clutter is a result of nail polishes and lipsticks, or pens and various office supplies, the Cosmetic Drawer Organizer can help. Just place it inside an empty drawer, and voilà: you’ll have distinct compartments for all of your loose items, resulting in organizational bliss in no time.

Tree Hugger Stuff Bump ($20)
Believe it or not, buying Tree Hugger’s Stuff Bumps will not only benefit the environment, they’ll payback Spanish prisoners for some time well-spent. Made in CIRE, in the workshops of prisons in Catalonia, these multi-functional wall embellishments are made from natural wool felt/100% recycled cardboard. Considering they’re made from low energy production, you’ll find comfort in knowing that de-cluttering has never left such a light carbon footprint. Not to mention, these slightly bizarre looking home accessories are perfect for storing anything from socks and underwear, to loose envelopes. And, be sure to check out Tree Hugger’s cute, expertly animated interactive website. De-cluttering has never looked so easy.

Handbag Holder ($29.95)
Any femme who’s ever lived in 500 square feet or less knows that handbags can be seemingly impossible to keep organized. Whether they’re Balenciaga or Bottega Veneta, they typically take up tons of space and can’t be squished into smaller containers or else they’ll loose their shape. So what to do? Try this Handbag Holder, which can also be used for hats, scarves, or anything else that’s deserving of a hook. It’ll make matching your hat/handbag/accessory-of-choice to your outfit ten times speedier, not to mention a much less messy process.

Shower Curtain with Pockets ($19.95)
Anyone who's ever tried to install an adjustable, spring shower rod with shelves in which to store bath toiletries knows that it's asking for disaster, as inevitably the ill-constructed device (and all of its products) falls on top of you a day later. Thankfully now there’s relief for all clean-freaks with shampoo-bottle-stubbed-toes; Tiny Living created a shower curtain complete with mesh pockets for all of your bath product-storing needs. With seven pockets in various sizes, there is more than enough space to go around.

Under Shelf Basket ($6.99)
Describing the functionality of an under shelf basket is pretty much stating the obvious. Doing double duty to create extra space for storing your things while decreasing visible clutter, these shelves are also perfect for hiding away your secret stash of unmentionables. Basically like a large clip-on for your shelf, these baskets join the ranks of other successful items of the clip-on genre—clip-on-ties, clip-on-pocket pens, and, of course, the chip-clip—that never cease to come in handy.

Clutter Whisperer (TBD)
If you’ve ever seen the National Geographic show that lends this pursuit its name, your interest has most likely already been piqued. What may seem like a pyramid scheme is in fact no less than an urban dweller’s dream-come-true—a woman who can turn chaos into order at a relatively reasonable fee. Meet Cynthia Kienzle, a.k.a. the Clutter Whisperer. A modern day Holly Homemaker-meets-therapist-meets-drill sergeant, no domestic disaster is too much for Kienzle. She’s seen it all—from the ADD/OCD, toy-soldier collecting hermit living in a 1950s-esque house, to the clothes-obsessed, sample sale-addicted fashionista with a studio apartment filled with clothing and fashion rags. An initial hour and a half consultation with Kienzle will cost you $60, but it will be applied to any future work (which starts at $40/hour, with a 5-hour minimum). Contact Kienzle at (212) 661-0982, or Ckienzle at RCN dot com.
