About Us
YouCopia is a feeling of triumph over small stuff. Because no one likes the hassle of a messy home.
Founded in 2009, YouCopia has helped millions of people discover that it feels good to open a cabinet or drawer and find things where you want them. Our goal is to design products that deliver “woo hoo” moments without a ton of effort.
Whether adjustable, expandable or customizable, we create organizers that can store a variety of items in different spaces. Using tools and leaving holes is annoying, so our products never require installation. Having an organized home should be achievable for everyone (even the disorganized) – it feels good.
