Say Goodbye to Cluttered Kitchen Drawers with This $35 Amazon Must-Have
Do you open a kitchen drawer and feel overwhelmed by the tangled mess of kitchen spatulas, measuring spoons, and potato peelers? Do you wish a product could instantly wrangle the chaos inside the kitchen gadget drawer? As a professional organizer, I sort through many kitchen drawers needing organizational help. The product I keep turning to each time to organize kitchen cooking utensils and gadgets is the SpaceAid Bamboo Drawer Dividers + Inserts. This simple product can turn a messy and cluttered kitchen drawer into one that makes you happy when opened.
The SpaceAid Bamboo Drawer Dividers + inserts come in two different lengths (13-17" and 17-22"), so measuring the depth of your drawer first is essential. If your kitchen drawer is extra wide, I recommend the SpaceAid Bamboo Divider with 7 dividers (versus 4). The appeal of this product is that it is entirely customizable. No need to spend tons of money buying individual drawer organizers, trying to Tetris a solution inside a drawer still to have nothing fit quite right. With the Space Aid Drawer Dividers, you can use the dividers to corral longer items like spatulas, stirring spoons, and tongs. For smaller kitchen gadgets like potato peelers, can openers, and meat thermometers- use the short or long inserts with the product to create individual slots for these items. Creating proper spacing for your kitchen gadgets may still take trial and error. The pictures below provide some inspiration!
The SpaceAid Bamboo drawer divider comes in natural, white, and black. It is a simple but hardworking organizing product that instantly brings order to a kitchen drawer. The product quickly corralled and organized many items in this kitchen utensil drawer. It also comes with labels that stick on the drawer dividers to remember what goes in each spot.
The SpaceAid drawer divider can also organize even the messiest of junk drawers! Imagine all of your markers, pens, tape, and batteries all having a place in a drawer so it's easy for any family member to find what they need.
Before using this product, the first step is to declutter the drawer. Pull everything out and sort items that are similar to each other together. For example, group all mixing spoons, including items used for grating/peeling. Now, look at each grouping to see if there are duplicates of any kitchen gadgets, make sure each gadget is in working order (nothing bent/broken/rusted), and decide if you have used the gadget in the last year. It is beneficial to let go of any item you don't need or find helpful so that your kitchen gadget drawer isn't filled with irrelevant items.
After editing, group similar items together within each of the SpaceAid inserts. A single vertical divider can contain longer spoons and spatulas, and the smaller horizontal inserts can group similar gadgets together.
Happy organizing!
