What do you think about deep drawers in the kitchen? On one hand, we can see all their content in one look, and they can contain a lot! But on the other hand, we don’t want them to become the most oversized junk drawers ever. So, what’s the solution? There are several, depending on what you put into them, and I’ll present those deep kitchen drawer organizers below.
Simple drawer bins
Organizing isn’t always about color-coding and giving each item its own container.
If you aim to put away those messy small appliances and their accessories, some bins or boxes will be enough. They prevent the wires from tangling, and you keep all the parts together to avoid searching for the missing one at the bottom of the drawer. It is also more secure for cutting parts, like those from a food processor.
The bins are also a good solution for grouping similar items, such as cookie cutters or food packed in small bags.
For an extra step to keep the bins neatly organized, you stick them in place with little double-sided transparent adhesives.
An expandable drawer divider
More adaptable than bins, dividers are helpful when you want to sort things that don’t fit otherwise and prevent them from mixing again. You can also use them to keep your trays and bake pans vertically, so reaching for them is easier than when piled.
The dividers will also add structure to enhance other organizing solutions.
A 2 tier organizer
You’d prefer 2 lower drawers than this deep one? A 2 tier organizer is the answer to your wish. Think of it like a drawer inside a drawer to double the space for lower things. When you open the drawer, you see the top tier, which you can push inside to see the bottom area.
With some woodworking, you can even add one to an existing drawer. Used with accessories like spices or silverware organizers, you’ll gather those space-sucking items in a small place.
Tall food containers
Those deep drawers are also a perfect space for the taller food boxes, allowing you to see them all without moving everything around.
To increase the organized feeling, you can decant the different foods into coordinated pots and add labels on the lids. Alternatively, you can reuse thoroughly washed jars of food you previously bought for a more budget-friendly solution.
A lid organizer for the win
Pot lids are tricky to store because of their uneven shape. Laying flat, they take up so much space, but if put upright, they’ll fall wherever they want. A lid organizer is a good compromise for storing pots, pans, and lids in a deep drawer. Just remember to use protectors when piling up pots and pans so they don’t end up scratched.
Are you a fervent user of reusable tumblers and bottles? There are also lid organizers for them. Adding drawer dividers to prevent the drinkware from falling will keep them in nice rows beside the organizer.
An organizer for every deep kitchen drawer use
While those drawers may look harder to organize, there are several options depending on what you plan to store in them.
Need to put away miscellaneous small appliances and objects? Go for boxes in various sizes. Do you prefer space for food? Your taller packs will be conveniently sorted as they are. You can decant the items in flexible bags into labeled jars. And don’t forget the lid organizers for your cookware or reusable tumblers.
