Starting off this post with maximizing organization space in your dishes cabinet!
If you have a small kitchen, or just want to maximize the cabinet’s space, you can use organization products like this plates organizer and this shelf organizer you can use to organize your cups on it and below it.
This way, you are utilizing your shelf space upwards and not only the shelf space itself. You can even stack two shelf organizers on top of each other if you have space and more cups to store.
2. Spice Cabinet Organization
One of the more brilliant spice cabinet organization ideas is to organize your spices with a vertical spice rack!
This is GENIUS. I also have a spice cabinet, and I just ordered these vertical spice organizes, and they are PERFECT for easily accessing and organizing your spices.
2.1. Utilize your cabinet door for spices
If you don’t want to take space in your cabinet for spices, one of the best kitchen organization tips is to use this cabinet door spice rack from Amazon!
This could definitely be a rental-friendly hack if you hang it up with double-sided tape, and it can hold all of your spices on one cabinet door.

5. Tupperware Cabinet
If you are wondering how to organize your kitchen cabinets, and specifically want to organize a tupperware drawer, he’s a nice idea on how to organize your tupperware and lids!

This way you can set up space for your food containers and for the lids, while keeping everything organized and aesthetic.

If you are organizing your pots and pans in a cabinet, things could get messy.
So if you want all of your pots and pans accessible, and neatly organized, I highly recommend this pot lids cabinet drawer organizer, that you can use to maximize your cabinet storage space by hanging your pot lids on the cabinet door instead of them taking spice in your cabinet.
Also, an absolute must-have in my opinion, is an adjustable pots and pans organizer you can buy on Amazon!
