How to Combat the Chaos With Cabinet Door Organizers
I am featuring a DIY cabinet door organizer that I learned about from Shannon from The Daily DIYer. This is the 13th video in my series about when to buy organizing products, what kinds to buy or not to buy, and which ones to DIY.
I am going to show you how to decide on what cabinet door organizers will work best for your spaces.
I will also show you the multiple ways that you can use Shannon's Dollar Tree Shower Caddy turned wall organizer DIY for your cabinet doors.
What cabinet door organizers are for
The purpose of a cabinet door organizer is to create easy access to frequently used items on the door of a cabinet. Different cabinet door organizers typically have clearly defined purposes.
Whether they are for hair appliances, food wraps, cleaning supplies, and even pot lids and baking pans, they can be the perfect solution to organize your spaces.
However, they can sometimes get pricey, depending on the kind you need. So today, I thought I would show you how to utilize Shannon's transformation of this shower caddy in case this turns out to be the perfect solution for you.
Secure the cabinet door organizer
You don't want to utilize a cabinet door organizer without securing it properly and protecting your furniture. This can be done by utilizing command hooks made for the correct weight of what you need to store on your organizer. You can also utilize the built-in hooks on pre-made cabinet organizers.
Still, you will also want to apply felt pads under the hooks and at the bottom of the organizer or between any points that are touching your furniture. This is done in order to protect your furniture from getting damaged while the cabinet is open and closed during daily use.
How to choose a door organizer
Since most cabinet door organizers are designed for a specific purpose, you just want to look for functionality based on your habits.
For example, if you are looking for one for your hair appliances, you may want to look for one that has convenient cord storage.
Don't forget to measure your cabinet height, width, and thickness in order to be sure the organizer will fit and function well for
your space.
How to tailor the DIY organizer to your needs
Shannon featured her DIY as a decorative wall organizer. Here are some ways to use it as a cabinet door organizer.
You can use it to store cleaning supplies under the sink.
In your spice cabinet, you can make this a multi-purpose organizer to contain your spices, oils, vinegar, plastic wrap, and measuring utensils.
You will install this at the proper height to fit your oil and vinegar bottles. I am just showing you how these bottles fit for demonstration purposes.
Lastly, you can store your small kitchen appliances on your pantry door or pantry wall. You can even wrap the cord around the hooks on the bottom.
A cabinet door organizer designed perfectly for your needs can be the perfect solution if you don't have enough space within your cabinets. They help to maximize space in deep cabinets by utilizing vertical space.
First, as always, don't purchase more cabinet door organizers than you need. Again, you will pare down your items to what you need before purchasing any organizing products.
This Dollar Tree DIY is a money saver because it is only a dollar.
In case this organizer is too small or not quite the right fit for your needs, there are other affordable versions you can purchase elsewhere.
I have hunted down some cabinet door organizers that range from $3 to no more than $10.
