Due to unusual plumbing angles, finding great kitchen sink organizing ideas can sometimes be a little tricky. You really have to get inventive, in order to get the most out of the available space. But, the good news is this. It can be done. And we have some great tips and storage solutions to help get you organized!

Under The Kitchen Sink Organizing Ideas & Storage Solutions

1 – Use Storage Bins

Plastic storage bins are a must when it comes to cutting down the clutter under your kitchen sink. Try to store everything in groups according to how they’re used. For example, “household cleaners,” “dishcloths,” “sink stoppers,” etc. Assign each group its own bin.

Stackable versions are perfect for this purpose. Why? By neatly stacking them on top of each other and making use of the vertical space (around the edges of the cupboard) you don’t have to worry about plumbing getting in the way. Make sure to clearly label each bin, to avoid confusion.

This two tier basket organizer is a perfect storage solution.

2 – Install a Tension Rod

Buy a smaller tension rod and hang it across your cupboard. This gives you space to hang things like dish rags and cleaners with spray nozzles, which easily hook over the rod. Hanging the bottles also gives you extra room for more storage bins, like those mentioned above.

3 – Make Use of the Door

There are a number of ways you can use your cupboard door for more efficient storage space. Invest in an over-the-door hook rack or basket for spray bottles and dish cloths. You can also install suction cups or stick-on hooks to hang cleaning cloths, cleaning brushes and kitchen gloves.

4 – Put In Extra Shelves

Baskets or shelves are an excellent way to make use of the walls of your cabinets. Installing shelves on the sides, back wall or even on the inside of the doors opens up a huge amount of storing space for a wide variety of items.

Smaller shelves are ideal for sponges, washcloths, sink stoppers, etc. If you’re installing shelves for larger items, make sure you leave enough space between the shelf and the ceiling of the cabinet to store taller products in an upright position.

5 – Get Creative with a Shoe Organizer

When it comes to under the kitchen sink organizing ideas, you probably don’t automatically think of using a shoe organizer. But, in this scenario, it really works! Not only that, it’s a truly inexpensive hack.

Cut a plastic shoe organizer in half. Hang one half on the inside of each cupboard door. You can store all kinds of items in each compartment. And, because the plastic is usually see-thru, you don’t have to dig through things to get to what you’re looking for.

6 – Easy Trash Bag Storage

If you purchase your trash bags in bulk, chances are they come in a roll. Am I right? To keep them from getting wet, the best way to store them is on a dowel attached to the side of the cupboard. Not only will they be protected from minor plumbing leaks, the bags stay within easy reach.

These are several ideas to keep in mind, when attempting to abolish the clutter under your kitchen sink. Once everything is better organized, you’ll be surprised by how much storage space you actually gained in the process and how much easier it is to find what you need.
