You can even find a spot for that pesky potato masher! Flatware Tray Organizer
Be honest: Have you ever fought to open a drawer because the bottle opener got stuck? Or have you purchased a second potato peeler because you swore you couldn't find it, only to later locate it sitting under the can opener? We've all been there. It's time to stop the madness and get organized. They make kitchen drawer organizers for a reason! Much like organizing kitchen cabinets and organizing pantries, designating space in your drawers with a silverware organizer not only maximizes space but also makes life so much easier.
It doesn't matter what size your kitchen is or how many drawers you have either. There are utensil organizers that expand to fit the right dimensions, compact models with unique designs for small spaces, and even collections that come in various sizes for the ultimate customization. So go ahead, tackle that junk drawer with labeled dividers or get a tray specifically with space for large, oddly shaped objects like that potato masher. If it has a proper home, it will no longer jam your drawer. Imagine that!
Many of these options also double as spice racks if you want to repurpose your space. Or keep your spice jars separate and focus on making sure your flatware, tools, and even knives have a proper place to be. These organizers ensure that your hands and your utensils stay safe and nick-free, too, which is almost as nice as never having a jammed drawer again. 😂
Not all drawer interiors will measure the same, which is why an expandable option is so convenient. This sturdy acacia wood option starts at 13-inches wide and expands out to 19.5 inches, providing either five or six spacious sections. Oh, and can we talk about the gorgeous Ree-approved printed lining? 😍
It doesn't matter what size drawer you have, The Everything collection lets you customize to your exact needs. You buy each piece individually and then play a fun game of Tetris to figure out the best configuration. The sizes range from small three-inch squares to larger 6-by-15-inch rectangles. They are easy to move, reorganize, and wash, too!
This #1 bestseller is super popular for every drawer size but especially for small spaces. The unique angled compartments save space so it's just over four inches wide, but you can still fit up to 24 pieces of flatware. The angles also make it super easy to identify what's in each spot. Smart!
If you like idea of customization but don't want to buy individual pieces, go for a set of bamboo dividers. There are four main long dividers with a set of mini dividers that slide right in where you need them. They also come with labels to make it super clear what goes where.
If you have fairly standard drawers and just want something simple to organize your silverware, look no further than this affordable Rubbermaid. Simply slide it in the drawer and the five slots are ready for your forks, knives, and spoons. Best of all, it's under $8!
Maximize your space in deeper drawers by getting stackable storage. The deeper tub is great for those awkward big items like whisks, and then then narrower tray that goes on top is for smaller items like flatware and small utensils.
Joseph Joseph doesn't just stop at regular silverware. They customized a cutlery tray so all your knives stay sharp and your hands and other utensils stay safe. It's also just as compact as their other trays, which is great if you need to save space.
A great way to use drawer space is to store your spices. But if you want to do that and store other items, go with this hybrid model. It has the slanted tiers in the middle so it's easy to see and grab the oregano, but it also has flat sections on the sides to store other items.
