10 Ways to Use a Hanging Kitchen Organizer to Maximize Space in Your Home

Did you know that 82 percent of people believe their overall quality of life would improve if they were more organized?

If you have a small kitchen, you might constantly feel like there’s clutter in it. Getting kitchen organizers can help, but they often take up precious counter space.

That’s where a hanging kitchen organizer comes in handy. You can hang it on the back of a door or up on the wall, and then your counter becomes clutter-free once again!

They’re great for every part of your home, however. Curious? Read on for ten of the ways to use a hanging kitchen organizer to maximize space around your home.

1. Hanging Coffee Bar

If you don’t have the space for a normal coffee bar, you can create one with your hanging kitchen organizer.

Hanging up might not work for your refrigerated creamer, but it’ll work for coffee pods or containers. If the container your coffee comes in doesn’t fit, try transferring it to a jar that does! Also, don’t forget your tea bags. The pockets are great for keeping all of your herbal, green and black tea bags in one place. 

2. Snack Time

This one is perfect if you have kids, or just enjoy snacking yourself.

Categorizing and placing snacks in the different pockets is the perfect way to pick and choose what you (or the kids) want for snack time. Better yet, send the kids over when they’re packing their lunch for school and allow them to choose things themselves.

It saves you some time, and they get the satisfaction of helping pick their own food.

3. Non-Perishables

Forgotten cans of soup, spice jars or rice pouches hiding out in your pantry are a thing of the past. Organizing cans of food in your hanging kitchen organizer is perfect and makes complete sense.

It’s the perfect way to put your food supply on display so you always know what you have on hand.

4. Kitchen Utensils

While putting knives and other sharp utensils in your organizer may not be that wise, things like garlic mincers, potato mashers, wooden spoons, and spatulas make more sense.

The best things to place into your hanging kitchen organizer are things you might not use everyday, but still find yourself reaching for often.

5. Extras

Essentials are often BOGO at the grocery store, but do you have room for all those extras in your kitchen?

If not, a hanging kitchen organizer is a perfect place to store any extras until you’re ready to use them. They’ll be out-of-sight, but you’ll remember them so they won’t be out of mind.

It Doesn’t Have to Be Used With Kitchen Items

Just because it’s labeled as a kitchen organizer doesn’t mean you can’t find other places for it in your home!

Here are a few ideas for other parts of your home.

6. Gift Wrap

Hanging kitchen organizers make the perfect gift wrap organization stations. All the different pockets make it perfect to place scissors, tape, gift tags, small boxes, and even those extra scraps of wrapping paper that can be used for other things.

You can also place gifts that still need to be wrapped, and all your favorite ribbon inside! You’ll never have to worry about losing these small items when you’re gift wrapping again.

7. Beauty

Place all your beauty products in the different pockets!

Everything from makeup, palettes, brushes, hot tools, lotions, compacts, tweezers, and other eyebrow utensils, even nail polish and any accessories you use when giving yourself a manicure or pedicure.

It’s the perfect place to keep your beauty tools on display in practical and functional fashion.

8. Presents

Hanging kitchen organizers make a perfect advent calendar filled with mini presents to open each day.

To achieve this, cover each pocket with something that you can’t see through (this can be done with fabric or construction paper). Write 1-24 on all the pockets and take out a present every day of December until Christmas.

These presents can be anything from a piece of candy to a stuffed animal. You can even get creative and theme it around you or your child’s interests!

You can even make one for your pets!

9. Loose Items

A hanging kitchen organizer is a perfect place to put extra chargers, earbuds, or even lost electronics (especially for children). In other words, it’s a nice a lost and found holder for small items in your home.

Instead of cords and wires being thrown all over the house, pick them up and place them in your hanging kitchen organizer. At the end of each day, take the cords home if they have one. If they don’t, they can stay in that pocket.

10. School Supplies

Welcome to the end of the lost pencil excuse. If your kids are studying from home this school year, a hanging organizer is a great place to store their school supplies.

The pockets make it easy to access throughout the day as they switch through subjects, and the organizer also makes things easier to keep track of throughout the week.

If you need ideas, each row can be organized by subject (one row for language arts, one row for math, one for history, etc.), or each pocket could hold a different supply category.

This means one pocket for pencils, one for markers, one for scissors and glue, one for their calculator, and so on.

Get Creative With Your Hanging Kitchen Organizer

A kitchen organizer is not only meant for the kitchen. As you can see, there are plenty of other uses for a hanging kitchen organizer, and versatile ones at that. 

No matter where you need extra storage in your house, you’ll be able to create it with a hanging kitchen organizer. (Though there are other organizational tools you could get creative with as well!)
