Shelf Maximizers
The first mistake people often make? Organizing only within the existing shelf height. Adjustable shelves are your secret weapon — use them! Once repositioned, you can add vertical storage solutions like hanging racks, stackable stands, or tiered dividers.
Products like mDesign’s stand organizers are perfect for keeping bowls, plates, or Tupperware neatly separated and easily accessible. For baking sheets or cutting boards, try a vertical tray sorter from The Container Store — it stores them upright to save precious cabinet space.
Pull-Out Storage
Pull-out organizers are a kitchen game-changer. Whether you’re storing spices or heavy appliances, sliding racks give you easy access without digging through piles.
Chrome sliding racks from The Container Store add sleek, smooth organization. If you’re dealing with heavier items, simplehuman’s heavy-duty pull-out drawers include divider inserts to keep everything sorted. And if budget isn’t a concern, Walmart’s full-extension appliance shelf transforms into bonus counter space. No more risking dropped appliances!
Corner Cabinet Storage
Ah, the dreaded corner cabinet — either a black hole or an unreachable treasure chest. But there’s a fix. For deep base cabinets, a Lazy Susan is essential. It makes everything visible and reachable, and with dividers, you can even set up spice zones.
For those far-back, long corner shelves, try a tiered corner stand. These elevate and organize your items so nothing gets lost in the shadows.
Door-Mounted Storage
Don’t ignore your cabinet doors — they’re prime real estate. Use door-mounted racks to store cutting boards, plastic bags, or even spices.
For example, a mDesign spice rack turns an unused door into an efficient spice station. Or use lid racks for storing pot lids, which are otherwise tricky to stack.
Over-the-Door Storage
Don’t want to drill into your cabinets? No problem. Over-the-door storage options are easy to install and just as effective.
One favorite: an over-the-door trash can that doubles as a storage bin for foil, zip bags, and plastic wrap. No tools needed, no mess.
Under-Sink Storage
The space under your sink is often a chaotic mess of spray bottles and forgotten sponges. The fix: layered, expandable, and moisture-resistant storage.
The Container Store’s $180 under-sink bundle includes a pull-out shelf, door bin, clear caddy, and tiered rack — the ultimate reset. On a tighter budget? Mix and match: a mDesign caddy with Amazon pull-out drawers creates a streamlined setup for under $100. Even better, use a U-shaped expandable rack that works around pipes and garbage disposals.
