10 Inspiring Ideas for Organizing All the Stuff Under Your Sink

The area under your kitchen sink is probably one of the most underrated but vastly important spaces of your entire household. Most homeowners are familiar with this space because that’s where they keep their sponges, detergents, brooms, towels, and other pieces of equipment to get their kitchen and the rest of their home looking clean, neat and fresh. By organizing that area, you can get your house cleaned up at less the amount it time it would usually take.

Here are a couple of under-sink organization strategies that you can use to your advantage:

1. Mount Cutlery Holders on the Inside of Your Cupboard Door

One of the most convenient hacks you can use to organize your sink underneath is cutlery holders. It stores all of your cleaning supplies in one place, tidy and out of your sight while also letting them air dry.

2. Install a Bar on Your Cabinet Door

Installing a bar onto your cabinet door is an easy and quick solution for hanging up all of your spray bottles.

3. Use a Storage Caddy for Your Sponge and Scrubby

If you’re keeping it really simple by keeping a sponge and a scrubby, then a pretty utilitarian holder is more than enough to keep both or more items in one place and also allow them to air dry. And when the time comes, it can also clean itself.

4. Add Clear Plastic Drawers

Having clear plastic drawers is a great option to organize smaller items including washcloths and sponges. And because they’re clear plastic, it’ll be easier for you to see which items are inside without having to fish out for a couple of seconds or minutes to find them. If you like, you can also include little labels on these drawers for extra convenience.

5. Racks and Over-the-Door Hangers

In a rental, over-the-door hangers and racks are other great options to store essential cleaning items and save on space for you to look around under the sink. You’ll especially appreciate the added soap dish that can hold slippery items such as scrub brushes.

6. Install Stick-on Hooks

Install stick-on hooks to baskets and hang them at the back of your cabinet door. Not only will this save you time and money, but you can easily replace the basket rather than uninstalling any of the hardware.

7. PVC Pipes

Who knew PVC pipes can double as water transportation tools and item holders. Simply take sections of your PVC pipe and attach them to your sink cabinet door to hold your styling tools.

8. Restyle Your Shoe-Rack

If you’ve got old fabric shoe organizers, then you’ll be happy to know that you can repurpose them to store smaller such as small makeup bottles. What’s more, they won’t even clutter up or get in the way of other items you need from the under-sink space. You can also include labels to make it easier for you to locate the item that you really need for the occasion and keep everything else tidy.

9. Cake Stands

If the bakery that you go to get confections for your family doesn’t mind, you can take a repurpose a cake stand or a tiered serving stand and give it new life as an under-sink storage rack for organizing your stuff. To save more on space, try putting loose items like bandages and cotton swabs in mason jars.

10. Stick-on Hooks

Stick-on hooks are quite versatile when it comes to organizing whether they’re being used to hang up keys or even towels. Setting only a couple of these hooks up can make it simpler for you to hang up brushes, gloves and plenty of other items that can hang from the side.
