How would you organize underneath a sink?

**Precious26** · 03-18-2008, 03:15 PM

I need some ideas for organizing underneath my kitchen sink, and my bathroom sink which is stuffed completely full. Just keep in mind I live in a two bedroom apartment with my Fiance.

What type of items would you use to do so?

TIA,

JJ

I have a pull out organizer drawer... works good. It pulls out so I can see whats in the back.
It didnt cost very much, maybe 12 dollars at a discount home decor store.

Different place I was in I used those wire shelves in the kitchen to hold stuff. This seemed to help out a lot. Have to do this again in the kitchen and bathroom at this place.

Also, some people like putting their pots and pans decorativly on the wall or hanging from a pot rack. This could free up some space for you.

Feel your pain though. It is difficult finding storage ideas.

I measured the space and went to the dollar store, and bought a container to fit (usually a low one so it can slide under the drain pipe). I've pared down to just using a few cleaners, so they fit nicely, plus a scrub brush and some rags. I also stack up some toilet paper to one side. I don't keep much else there, since the bath does get steamy, it's a damp, scary place under there!

Not sure how much other storage you have... I have an old house with very few closets, so I do keep an eye out at yard sales for attractive baskets that will fit in various places, to help stay organized. I prefer baskets with lids, so the stuff inside isn't visible and doesn't get dusty.

I just cleaned out under my bathroom sink. My vanity is very small but I have two shoe box sized plastic trays underneath. One holds cleaners and the other holds beauty supplies.
Under my kitchen sink I have two sets of shelves and four slide outs. One of the top two holds small appliances on one side and a set of plastic bowls on the other. The bottom slide outs hold cleaners on one side and the other a few pots and pans. I just love the slide out shelving everything is so easy to get to.
