Homemade Ginger found a great way to repurpose desk organizers. This is a great DIY storage idea to free up space right by the sink, without spending a ton on cabinetry changes. This can free up and make your counter look less cluttered! Check out your local thrift stores, I bet you can find a few of these. Ohh, you could even repaint them to add splashes of color in your space!

Hanging Baskets Above Counter

I absolutely love No. 29 Design’s idea of using hanging baskets above the counter. It is a great way to add some style and free up space on your counter! She gives a great tutorial, and shows you how to create this! You can store items like fruits, snacks, and more in these baskets.

Pantry Makeover

Love this pantry makeover on a budget by The Organised Housewife

Consider doing a pantry makeover on a budget like The Organised Wife. Use inexpensive plastic bins and containers to organize and create more storage space.

Utilize Space On Top of Cabinets

If your cabinets don’t go all the way up to the ceiling, and you have space above, consider using it. Grab neat decorative wire baskets, and place items inside. You will be able to see what is inside, and you can even add a label! Then if you need it, grab a step stool to reach. I love to put items I don’t use that often up high!

Side of Cabinet

If you have space on the side of your cabinet, consider hanging some hooks for cutting boards, pans, and more. Far Above Rubies got creative with this idea, check out her farmhouse themed kitchen!

Hang Measuring Cups on a Door

Free up space in a drawer by hanging your measuring cups on the back side of a cabinet door! Plus you can go a step further and add a conversion chart like Infarrantly Creative, pretty awesome!

Finding Storage for Lids from Pots and Pans

The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking placed a tension rod at the front of the drawer and used that to stand her lids up, and then placed her pans in the drawer! She has more ideas in her post Organized Home Day 6!

Trash Bags Under Sink

Hang your trash bags under the sink. Then just like a paper towel roll, you can easily pull off a bag and it will help save space. Simply Organized has a full tutorial – Trash Bags on a Roll.

Hang Shelves

If you don’t have space in your cupboards or cabinets, hang some shelves. Place mixing bowls, or your flour and sugar on these, it is a great way to create space, and make it look decorative!
