10 Genius Solutions for Food Storage Containers

Undershelf Space-Saver

Large food storage containers take up a lot of room, so gain additional storage space by sliding an undershelf basket into place in your cabinet. Fill it with sorted food storage container lids, then place the containers underneath their corresponding lids. It’s a quick, easy, and affordable way to make the most of a limited amount of space.

Sliding Storage Trays

Tired of blindly fumbling around in a dark cabinet for food storage containers and lids? Create your own makeshift pullout cabinets by placing lightweight acrylic trays on each of your cabinet shelves. To make sliding your trays out a little easier, cover the bottom of your cabinet shelf with an adhesive liner. Organize your food storage containers as you see fit, and say good-bye to the dread of digging through your cabinets when the container you need goes missing.

Book Bins

Keep cabinets from getting chaotic and avoid mismatched items with this easy kitchen drawer organizer hack. In a lower drawer or pullout shelf, flip book bins on their sides and use them to turn your single storage area into several separate sections. Stack corresponding food storage containers and lids, and store them together in their own ready-made compartments.

Mounted Lid Collector

A wall-mount file holder can be convenient outside of the office when you use it for small kitchen organization. Hang one inside a cabinet door and fill it with miscellaneous food storage container lids that are normally hard to find. This will guarantee a lid is always within reach and that your small lids never disappear into the depths of an unorganized cabinet.

Tension Rod Compartments

Use two tension rods to create compartments in a small drawer for easy kitchen cupboard organizers. Place the tension rods near the top of the drawer, two or three inches apart, to create three compartments: one large, one medium, and one small. Keep your food storage containers in the large compartment, water bottles lined up in the medium compartment, and lids in the small compartment in an upright position to maximize storage.

Box Shelf Storage

To make instant drawer compartments and create a space for your lids without toppling, invest in a few decorative box shelves. Get a few that vary in size, drop them directly into a drawer, and keep containers and lids easily grouped in size-appropriate compartments. This method will keep your food containers sorted and will prevent stacks of lids from sliding around the drawer.

Incorporate Clear Containers

Declutter your cabinets with a few clear containers—or frosted, if you want to keep things out of sight. Sort by size and type, and keep lids near their corresponding food storage containers. Magazine holders come in handy again here, this time lying flat and storing lids while acting as a shelf for their matching food storage containers. Kitchen organization hacks like this are easily customizable and inexpensive.

Desktop Mail Sorter Magic

Place a desktop mail sorter in a pullout drawer to maximize space with its small, slender compartments. Use the sorter for food storage container lids, and stack the containers by size toward the front of the cabinet. When you’re planning how to organize your kitchen, don’t be afraid to take cues from other rooms in your home.
