If you own too many travel mugs
If you’re frustrated by your cup collection toppling out of your kitchen cabinets, the mDesign Bottle Organizer ($67) is for you. This set of four gives you a total of 20 slots to slide cups in and out of, which means nothing gets stuck at the back of the cabinet. This review says it all, “This completely transformed the cabinet!” By the way, here’s how to wash a reusable water bottle the right way.
If your bakeware keeps tipping over
DecoBros Kitchen Houseware Rack ($13) is a popular solution to transform the tall stack of baking pans. “I can’t believe it took me so long to discover these things.” writes one reviewer. The organizer fits cutting boards, cookie sheets and muffin tins. Instead of stacking and re-stacking pans just slide the one you need out of the rack. One reviewer offered a clever alternative for how to use this rack, “I used to stack my laptop and tablet on top of each other, but now they are standing up in this holder.”
If you have wasted storage spots
If you need more storage space, look no further than the back of almost any door in your home. Only 18 inches wide, the SimpleHouseware Crystal Clear Over the Door Hanging Organizer ($13) fits most doors, comes as a pack of two and each has 15 clear pockets to store stuff. One comment reads, “I like that the pockets are clear, so articles are visible. No fumbling through pockets to find what you want.” The best news is you don’t need any hardware and the hooks for hanging are low profile. These are Taste of Home staffers’ best kitchen storage ideas.
If you misplace little things
These Reusable Mesh Bags ($8) were designed as an earth-friendly alternative to the plastic, produce bags. Tear-resistant up to 11 pounds, machine washable and with a zipper closure, you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again. You get a total of 15, in three sizes so try them for earbuds and charging cables, craft supplies, toiletries and make-up, even laundering delicate items. One reviewer reminds you to take them with you when you grocery shop, she wrote, “I used the self-checkout and I was able to see the produce labels through the mesh.”
If your countertops are cluttered
“Couldn’t be happier!” claims one reviewer about this sturdy Two Tier Standing Rack ($19). For use in cabinets, on shelves, or countertops in the kitchen, bathroom, craft room or just about anywhere else in your home or office. One reviewer explains, “I love this item. I first bought one and then I purchased a second.” At a little over 11″ wide and about 10″ tall, this rack takes up a small footprint while offering tons of storage on the two shelves. These must-have kitchen organization tools are under $10.
If you’re tired of cluttered drawers
Don’t waste an inch of drawer space and see everything at a glance with this Bellemain Bamboo Drawer Organizer ($26). More than two thousand fans gave this organizer five stars! Crafted to easily expand, it goes from six to eight compartments so this organizer will fit in almost any size drawer. One reviewer boasted that after buying these she is “So proud of my kitchen, bathroom and ‘junk’ drawer spaces.”
If your stored items are difficult to reach
Turn difficult to reach spots into functional storage spaces by adding a Madesmart Classic 10″ Turntable ($13). Consider adding one on a cabinet shelf, inside the refrigerator or even the pantry. Instead of trying to reach items in the back, just turn the table and the item comes to you. The non-slip base and a soft-grip top prevent sliding. One reviewer shared her unique use, her turntable holds heavy potted plants making them easy to turn to ensure even sun exposure. That’s not all; here are more amazing lazy susan ideas.
