The Best Pot Lid Organizer!

by Shawna Bailey

Cabinets are so hard to keep organized. I’m always looking for great organization ideas. While looking around on the internet I saw people using the unused space between the cabinet door and their shelves for lids, and I thought, "what a great organization solution! I've got to try this."

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

All you need are some command hooks. It's really simple, and you can basically buy them anywhere. I got mine from the Dollar Store!

Here’s my messy cabinet. See how unorganized it is?

Step 2: Prepare Your Sticky Hooks

I peeled the front paper off of the sticker and attached it to the hook, following the package’s instructions. Then I peeled the back off of it, so it was ready to stick.

Step 3: Use the Lid to Measure

I placed the hooks onto the lid and then placed the lid where I wanted it to go (where it’s handle hits between the shelves) and pressed lightly. This way I didn't have to guess the distance between the hooks, and I knew it would fit.

Step 4: Press Firmly and Wait

I pressed the hooks firmly to the cabinet door (without the lids, of course). Then I waited 30 minutes before using them, as per the instructions on the package.

Step 5: Hang your Lid

Lastly, I just slipped my lid into it’s custom holder. Ta Da!

The great thing about command hooks is I can change the locations whenever I want, because they're so easily movable. I think I'm going to do this for all my pots and pans.

    Did you build the roll out shelves (inside the cupboard) ? I've got a pantry and these shelves are exactly what I have been looking for, at the moment its just a basic builders pantry and I can never find what I'm looking for because the shelves are quite deep and it's very hard to see whats at the back etc, I can change the height of each shelf (just by moving the plastic holder up or down) but I really like the idea of being able to pull out each shelf since it would allow me to see easily whats on each shelf. So wondering if you brought the shelves or made them. Thanks from sunny Downunder

    I would also like the information on the slide out shelves show in your cabinet. Thanks!

    Shawna, you say you can move the hooks if you want them in a different spot but as far as I know these hooks are unmovable. One would need to remove them and put up new hooks if changing spots.

      you can buy just the adhesion pads by the same company and reapply to a different location
