DIY kitchen organizers can change the way you organize your kitchen. Increase storage space and declutter easily.
The kitchen is the type of place where things get out of order all the time. Keeping it organized is a challenge but it‘s possible!
I think you can never have too much storage space in the kitchen. However, having too little of it can be a real problem!
Today I‘m sharing multiple DIY kitchen organization ideas that might give you a little bit of inspiration on how to keep the best place at home clean and organized!
1. Attach a Wood Trim to Hang Pots and Cutting Boards

We often forget to use the corners of the kitchen or just the sides of the furniture. When your kitchen is spacious adding little details to the furniture can be game changing!
Get a wood trim that suits the color of your furniture and attach it to one of the cupboards. Hammer a few nails into it and hang your pots and cutting boards.
In this way, you‘re going to be using the sides of furniture that would otherwise stay empty! Also, it gives the kitchen‘s decor a little bit of a twist that no one will expect.

If you‘re my kind of person and believe that spices are essential to eating delicious food, then you‘ll love this idea. Especially if you are at that point in your life where collecting spices isn‘t really new to you anymore.
Do you know the vintage wooden crates that have been so popular back in the days? I‘m not sure whether they‘re still around but you might as well just have a few in your garage.
Anyway, if you don‘t, I‘ve seen a bunch on Etsy, check them out here. You can transform one into a beautiful spice rack. All, you need is a little bit of paint, a few nails, and some passion!

Now, I‘ve absolutely loved this idea! Mostly because you don‘t need to be a DIY guru to make this one happen.
Make your own hidden kitchen organizer and have all the important things – pictures, keys, shopping lists attached to it.
All you need for this one is a cupboard, a few sheets of metal, some glue, a shelf liner, and imagination! Feel free to attach an important letter, bills, and plan sheets to it with clips.
4. DIY Vegetable Friendly Drawers

If your vegetables constantly go bad and storing them is just hard, you might love this idea! You‘ll need a little bit of woodwork right here but it‘s nothing too difficult.
You can transform your regular drawers into vegetable-friendly storage units! You‘ll need wicker baskets that have nice little edges (like these ones here).
The sturdier the better! The tricky part here is to make sure that the basket isn‘t too short nor too tall, just right for the drawer.
On the top of the drawer, you have the wooden boards that sort of keep everything in place. You can make those or try to find wooden food boards that fit the drawer.
Lastly, just cut out the hole in the board to make sure you can fit the basket. Well, as I‘ve mentioned, this one requires a bit of handy work.

This is a very simple but gorgeous organization idea. Actually, you don‘t need to only use it in the kitchen!
Feel free to incorporate it into other areas of your life too. Feel free to make your own chalkboard labels.

Here is a lovely bundle that has it all: 73 chalkboard stickers and a white chalk marker. Do you know what‘s the best thing? You can reuse them, so you‘re not stuck with the same labels.

A fridge has all this space that can be used for storing some of the lighter things like a kitchen towel. This space can be essential to someone who has a small kitchen.
While you can buy a holder like this one, it might be more fun to make one yourself. Improvize, create your own holder so that it does exactly what you need!
Make sure it‘s not too heavy though and finally attach a few powerful magnets to the holder. The stronger, the better, you don‘t really want the whole thing to go up and down all the time.
8. Gorgeous DIY Cutlery Organizer

When I saw this beautiful DIY cutlery organizer, I thought it was genius! We all use canned products to cook our favorite meals.
So, it only makes sense to reuse them in your own kitchen. Collect 6 metal cans, strip away all the labels, and keep them in warm water.
That‘s to make sure they‘re completely free of glue and paper. Scrub them and dry them out.
The next step is to spray them with white paint. That‘s going to serve as a base color and make sure the real color you want to use comes out sound and clear.
Do that will all the cans and get a piece of wood. Paint it the same color as cans (well or whatever you deem suitable) and glue them all together.
Finally, attach labels (perhaps chalkboard labels I‘ve mentioned before?) and enjoy your new cutlery organizer!

Paint the boards and boxes the same color and glue them together. Then, just hand them on your kitchen walls and fill them up with either cutlery or other essentials.
One thing for sure – these hanging organizers look nice!
