The "So Sleek" Storage Gem That'll Instantly Declutter Your Countertops
I know this might be a bit of a hot take, but I actually enjoy cleaning my kitchen. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching it transform from messy to sparkling clean in just minutes. (I’m not even exaggerating — I often find myself staring at it with pride afterward.) But as much as I love the end result, the hardest part of the process is finding a place for everything — spices, oils, measuring cups, and all the little things that accumulate over time. No matter how much stuff we add to our kitchens, there never seems to be more space. And the result? Clutter, something I absolutely can’t stand.
Now, the obvious solution to a cluttered countertop might seem like getting rid of things, but let’s be honest — we bought these items for a reason! Throwing away stuff we’ve invested in can feel even worse than dealing with the mess. But what if I told you there’s a way to keep your kitchen organized without sacrificing your valuables? Yes, dear reader, it’s possible — and the answer lies in smart organization. A simple piece, like a countertop rack, can work wonders. There are so many options out there (and plenty on Wayfair), but one of our favorites is the Two-Tier Countertop Rack from the trusted brand Yamazaki.

What Is the Yamazaki Home Two-Tier Countertop Rack?
Yamazaki is a trusted brand here at The Kitchn — we’ve long been fans of their Two-Tier Dish Rack and Two-Tier Cabinet Organizer — so it was no surprise that we were immediately drawn to their countertop rack. Its clever two-tier design is perfect for maximizing vertical space while keeping your counter as clear as possible. Plus, having it right on the counter makes it a breeze to grab everyday essentials.
What’s really handy are the adjustable hooks, which can be attached anywhere on the rack to hold tools like whisks or spatulas, keeping everything within arm’s reach. Another feature we love? The bottom shelf sits high enough above the counter to easily wipe underneath, so there’s no buildup of dust or grime in hard-to-reach areas. Made from durable steel, this rack is built to last. You can count on it holding up for the long haul — nothing will bring it down!
Available in two colors — black and white — the Yamazaki Home Two-Tier Countertop Rack will simplify your countertops, ensuring you never have to deal with an unorganized mess again. Goodbye, clutter — see you never!
