Original Under Kitchen Sink Organization Ideas for 2023

Having trouble organizing your kitchen sink cabinet? Don’t worry! We got you covered with our list of top ten under kitchen sink organization ideas. From cabinet risers to door shelves, we got them all. So let’s take a closer look!

Maximize Vertical Space with a Cabinet Riser

Adding a simple cabinet riser under your kitchen sink will effectively double your storage capacity without compromising the chic aesthetics of your Scandinavian kitchen design.

If you’re handy, you can even screw three planks together to make a DIY cabinet riser. If not, you can simply buy one from your local hardware store; these come in both wooden and metal variants, so pick whichever fits your space and general aesthetics better.

Not only is this cabinet riser an excellent under sink organizer, but it’s also relatively cheap. Hence, you can implement it straight away without having to wait for a substantial pay rise.

Cleaning Caddy for an Orderly Cabinet

This neat little gadget contains multiple compartments where you can store all your cleaning supplies, including sponges, scrub brushes, detergents, etc., without much fuss.

And if you want to go next level, you can get more of these and categorize your cleaning supplies by room for better organization; simple yet effective.

We recommend getting one with wheels, so you can easily roll it out and grab items from the back of the cabinet.

Tension Rod for Simple Spray Bottle Storage

Spray bottles take up a lot of space, are hard to spot on a shelf, and are never on hand when you need them.

The solution: use a tension rod and tap into all that unused vertical under sink storage space. Hang your spray bottles for easier access and keep them neat and organized.

To do this, simply twist the rod until it matches the cabinet’s width. 

You can even place some S hooks on your new rod to hang other cleaning supplies and kitchen utensils. This will leave more room for your beloved portable blender and minimize the risk of accidentally knocking it down.

Methodical Storage with Baskets

Methodical Storage with Baskets

As the old saying goes: don’t put all your eggs in one basket! Well, the same is true for your under sink cleaning supplies.

Namely, using multiple baskets to sort different items is one of the best kitchen under sink organization ideas out there. It’s cheap, fairly easy to set up, and most importantly — efficient.

Simply get a few baskets and label each one with a different category — be it bottles, scrub brushes, sponges, etc. — to keep your cabinet neat and organized.

Some even come with a small handle, so you can carry them around your home as a mobile cleaning kit; pretty handy, particularly for “emergencies.”

DIY Pull-Out Shelves

Although it requires some additional work, DIY pull-out shelves are an excellent way of sorting your cleaning supplies. Moreover, you actually get to use the back of the cabinet instead of just clogging it with items that never see the light of day.

We also recommend using a wooden organizer for your under kitchen sink pull-out storage to keep everything in its proper place. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even make one yourself to match the design of your newly made DIY drawers.

Make Space with Smaller (Labeled) Containers

Make Space with Smaller (Labeled) Containers

Transferring cleaning liquids from bulky, hard-to-place bottles to smaller containers can help you save precious space. Also, you can use this opportunity to label each container with helpful notes.

For example, “all-purpose,” “glass,” “floor,” etc., or more detailed: “tough on dirt and grim,” “good for stains,” and so on — you get the idea!

While you’re at it, do the same with your pantry storage and place foods in glass jars with the appropriate labels to keep things fresh and orderly.

Get Hooked

Get Hooked

As previously mentioned, hooks are an excellent way of storing items in your under sink cabinet.

For example, you can place them on the inside of your cabinet door and hang your trash bags, saran wraps, towels, and similar items to keep them on hand.

Better yet, you can place two hooks, add a small wooden rod between them, and hang a few S hooks to further boost the storage capacity.

Also, you can choose between screw-in hooks — a more permanent option — or go for adhesive hooks for fast and clean removal, whichever is more convenient.

Spin to Win 

Rotating trays, also known as Lazy Susans, are a prime choice for getting to hard-to-reach places at the back of your cabinet.

Since they spin, you can place items anywhere you want, and they’ll still “come to you.” One of the more ingenious under sink storage ideas, don’t you think?

Now, if you have plenty of space in your cabinet, you can even place two of these bad boys (one for each shelf, for instance) and get more room to store your cleaning supplies.

See Through the Chaos (Acrylic Boxes)

See Through the Chaos (Acrylic Boxes)

Looking to keep everything clear and concise in your under sink cabinet? Then look no further than acrylic boxes!

These transparent containers are perfect for storing cleaning supplies with specific tags and labels that you want to see clearly. Likewise, you’ll have an easier time finding smaller items that would otherwise get lost or misplaced.

Best of all, acrylic boxes are relatively cheap, so you won’t have to go over budget to get them.

Over-the-Door Shelf 

You have to think creatively to use your under kitchen sink storage to the fullest. 

For example, use an over-the-door shelf if your sink cabinet is filled to the brim. That way, you’ll make the most of your cabinet’s vertical space and increase the overall storage capacity without making a mess of things.

You can find this neat little contraption in most hardware stores at almost no cost at all. After that, simply hang it on the inside of your cabinet door, and you’re good to go!

Conclusion

It’s safe to say that we’ve provided you with more than enough storage ideas for your sink cabinet in our article. 

Now, it’s up to you to pick whichever you find best and hoard stuff to your heart’s content!

FAQ

Can you store dishes under the sink?

Dishes are best kept elsewhere since this area can quickly become wet and unhygienic. That said, you can still keep dishes you don’t often use in sealed plastic containers under the sink.

How do you store pots and pans under the sink?

Adding either a telescope or a cut-to-size wooden rod to the top of your cabinet is one of the best ways to store pots and pans under the sink. Secure the rod nice and tight, add some S hooks, and hang as many pots and pans as you can fit.

However, note that this is not the safest place to store your kitchenware due to the close proximity of pipes, water, and garbage disposal.

How do I maximize the space under my sink?

Over-the-door shelves, Lazy Susans, and rods are just a few brilliant under kitchen sink organization ideas you can use to maximize the space under your sink.
