A good rule of thumb is to always allow for a bit of extra room, but the smart next move is to step back and consider any potential reasons the product you’re considering might not cut it. There’s more to installing a cabinet organizer than simply checking dimensions. If you can't find anything that's a perfect fit, you may have to get creative and figure out a hack using a combination of organizers or ones marketed for a different purpose. In this case, cabinet organizers designed for a specific purpose, like a can dispenser or spice rack, are likely your best bet. Despite your best efforts to play Jenga master, stacking items to occupy every square inch of cabinet space only leads to frustration. To maximize storage and avoid extra work, a large lazy Susan or metal expandable shelves can help you easily access what's hard to reach.Īnother scenario is an overfilled cabinet that, upon opening, spills pasta boxes and jam jars everywhere. While you can stack pieces you use least toward the back, getting them out requires taking down what's in front and later replacing service for 12. For example, perhaps you have dishes in a corner cabinet that's deep and has an irregular configuration.

Here are the 10 best space-saving dish racks for freeing up the counter. We went for an over-the-sink wood version instead and it was a lifesaver-often doubling as an extra surface. No dishwasher either, and I wasn’t giving up those precious 9.5 inches to a clunky dish drainer. Watching anyone cook in that kitchen was like watching some sort of freak choreography: chopping on a small cutting board down inside the sink and balancing bowls on top of burners.
