Organize under the kitchen sink
Transform the tricky space under your sink into an organized, hardworking zone with these 4 simple solutions that help you save time, reduce clutter and make everyday life easier.
1. Maximize awkward spaces with under sink storage
The area under the sink is often awkwardly shaped due to pipes, making it hard to use effectively. These solutions help you make the most of every inch:
- Create multiple levels: Add small shelves or turntables to store dish soap, sponges and cleaning essentials at different heights.
- Keep only essentials: Store just what you need under the sink to prevent overcrowding and maintain easy access.
- Label for instant organization: Add labels to containers so you can see where everything belongs, making it quick and easy to find items and put them back.
Tip: Plan waste sorting from the start
Think about waste sorting when you design your kitchen and place bins where waste is created, like under the sink or countertop. You can plan drawers with integrated waste bins for different types of waste, making sorting simple for everyone.

2. Simplify waste sorting with under kitchen sink organizers
Waste bins take up valuable space and are often messy or hard to reach. An integrated system keeps everything in order while encouraging sustainable habits:
- Separate recycling and waste: Install a HÅLLBAR waste-sorting system under the sink to divide general waste from recyclables.
- Store bottles and cans efficiently: Use DAMMÄNG containers or freestanding bins for items like bottles and cans.
- Mount bins on doors: Attach a VARIERA bag dispenser on the inside of the door for easy access and convenient storage.
- Choose large bins for bulky waste: Large waste sorting bins with lids are perfect for handling bulkier kitchen waste such as glass, metal and paper packaging. The large flip-up lids let you access them easily, even when your hands are full, and the durable plastic is easy to clean.

3. Keep it clean and dry with protective solutions
Leaks, drips and cleaning products can damage cabinets and create unpleasant odours. Protect surfaces and store cleaning tools neatly:
- Protect the cabinet base: Add a VARIERA protective mat or drawer mat to catch drips and keep the base clean.
- Prevent spills: Store bottles upright in VARIERA containers to stop leaks before they happen.
- Organize cleaning essentials: Keep dish soap and sponges on a turntable so they are easy to reach and stay organized.
Tip: Install a pull-out frame for easy access
Don't have drawers? Install a pull-out frame to get a clear overview and make it easier to use the whole depth of the cabinet.

4. Create an efficient cleaning station
Cleaning supplies are often spread across multiple areas, wasting time and space. Centralize everything in one organized spot:
- Keep essentials together: Store dishwashing liquid and everyday cleaning products under the sink.
- Store extras elsewhere: Keep backup supplies in another location to avoid overcrowding the space.
- Use labelled containers: Group products in labelled containers and keep them upright for easy identification.
