15 Genius Ways to Make Use of the Back of Your Cabinet Doors
15 Genius Ways to Make Use of the Back of Your Cabinet Doors
If you've stuffed your cabinets to capacity, keep going: The back of the doors are just as useful when it comes to organizing the kitchen, bathroom and other spaces in your home.
Corral Cutting Boards
When not in use, these chopping essentials tend to topple over in cabinets or take up tons of space on the counter. This blogger hung a wire rack on the inside of an otherwise unused cabinet door to keep hers out of the way.
Organize Toothbrushes
All you need is a PVC pipe, command hooks and a drill to make toothbrush holders that safely tuck away when not in use. Bonus: You'll never accidentally knock your brush onto the floor again.
Hang Hair Tools
No matter how securely you think you wrapped cords on your curling iron, if you're like us, they always come undone on the counter. But this clever wrap turns cords into a hook and won't come unraveled.
Hide Cleaning Bottles
What used to be a towel rack for your bathroom door is actually the ultimate spray bottle holder under your kitchen sink.
Wrangle the Wraps
Plastic wrap and foil are essential when it comes to leftovers, which is why it's easiest when they're within arm's reach. This magazine holder fits four boxes snuggly so you can keep your entire collection on one cabinet door.
Simplify Baking Essentials
Not only does this door make it easy to find all your measuring cups when you're whipping up last-minute treats, but the chalkboard keeps conversions at-the-ready (see ya, calculator).
Stash Plastic Bags
Why is it that whenever you need a bag for a last-minute lunch or wet bathing suit, there's never one in sight? Stuff them in an empty tissue box on the back of a cabinet door so you're never left hunting one down again.
Organize Storage Containers
Raise your hand if you always lose the lids to these tubs. Us too. That's why we love this blogger's trick, which involves storing the containers with their lids in a space that would otherwise go to waste.
Set Up a Nail Station
Remover: check. Polish: check. This wire rack holds everything you need to give yourself an at-home manicure on a Sunday night. Ahhh.
Store Your Spice Collection
If you don't have enough space to devote an entire drawer to this collection, try this blogger's trick and mount your rack inside a cabinet door.
Unroll Your Wrap
Sometimes, you only have one clean hand left to unroll a piece of foil. For life's messiest moments, you need these dispensers that are mounted inside your cabinet. Even better: Hang it near the place you most-frequently tackle leftovers.
Put a Lid on It
Watch your toes! If your pot lids always end up tumbling onto your feet as you navigate your cabinets, use a towel rack to secure these saucers until you decide you need one.
Collect Bobby Pins
If you're tired of losing these little pins as soon as you take them out of your hair (*raises hand*), stick them to a strip of magnet as soon as you take them out.
Hang Your Blow Dryer
Even though hair dryers are a necessary evil for most women's hairstyles, they're the definition of clunky. This basket collects the tool and its cord so you don't have to.
Hide Cleaning Tools
Face it: Fly swatters and plastic gloves aren't exactly the prettiest things in your home. Instead of keeping them out and about, this smart organization idea hides them when they're not in use.
Don't let this surface go to waste.
