Clever Little Thing That Keeps Your Kitchen Clutter-Free
For Whom/What:
kitchen with limited cabinet space
Budget:
Ideally under $50
Extra Details:
I’m on a mission to make my kitchen feel less like a chaotic dumping ground and more like one of those calm, Pinterest-y spaces where everything has a home. I’m not looking for giant cabinets or expensive remodel ideas—just those clever, why didn’t I think of this sooner items that keep counters clear and drawers organized.
Maybe it’s a slim rack that makes baking sheets behave, a magnetic knife strip that freed up a whole drawer, or some under-shelf baskets that magically doubled your cabinet space.
What’s your MVP for keeping kitchen clutter under control?
Nested mixing bowls with lids. I swapped all my random bowls for one nesting set with matching lids. They stack perfectly, I use them for prep, serving, and storage, and it’s one of those “why didn’t I do this earlier?” moves.
I like the Mepal brand bowls - they have beautiful colors and come in different sizes and shapes to tackle all prep/storing needs.
Magnetic knife strip, 100%. I got the IKEA KUNGSFORS stainless steel one for like $20, and it instantly freed up an entire drawer. It makes my knives way easier to grab mid-cooking, and it looks kind of chef-y without trying too hard, ha.
