A few suggestions when using modular drawer organizers like the metal mesh ones pictured above:
- Pull everything out of the drawer sorting into prep and serving pieces, editing out anything you don't use or need.
- Look at what's left to see what size organizers you'll need; extra long or wide.
- Using your drawer's measurements, draw it out on paper to see how many organizers will fit.
- To make it look its best and not cluttered, create a symmetrical pattern.
- For the organizers in the back of the drawer, angle them from back to front for easy access.
- Group things by use to limit searching for things.
- If you have an inch or so left in the back of the drawer, wedge cardboard from a toilet paper or paper towel roll to make it nice and snug.
love that last tip! reuse and recycle :-)
