A kitchen drawer is an excellent place for empty food containers, as you get an eagle-eye’s view and will quickly find what you’re looking for. With some practical and affordable accessories, you can get organised in no time:
- Drawer dividers prevent containers from sliding around and getting disorganised or chipped. The dividers are easy to adapt to the height of the drawer and can be moved around to fit your needs. Here, containers are placed in one compartment and the lids are sorted according to type in the other two.
- A pegboard is another way to organise the drawer, keeping all items neatly separated and easy to find. The adjustable pegs make it easy to customise the drawer according to content.
- If you have glass containers, you may want to consider a drawer mat to protect both the kitchenware and the drawer from scratches.
Whether you’re using a drawer divider or a pegboard, it’s best to store the lids vertically. It allows them to airdry if they’re still a little wet after the washing up and you can easily find the one you’re looking for.
