Why You Should Thrift A Jewelry Organizer For Your Kitchen

Whether you have limited cabinet or drawer space or want to add functional yet stylish flair to your kitchen, you may want to discover clever ways to organize your clutter. For example, you could create a basket ladder to hold your spices or make use of vertical space in your cabinet by DIY-stacking shelves to stow away an overflow of plates and glassware. But what about the smaller items around your kitchen countertops, like your utensils, sauce packets, or tea bags? For that, you should consider a more unorthodox storage solution, like reusing a thrifted jewelry organizer to corral your clutter.

Repurposing a jewelry organizer may seem like an unusual storage hack to declutter and tidy your kitchen countertops, but consider its strengths. Because of the drawer compartments, however small they may be, the organizer can free up space in your drawers and keep frequently used items closer at hand. Plus, buying second-hand is a major way to make your home organization more sustainable. Not to mention, you'll probably be getting a good deal as opposed to purchasing a new product, which can save you between 25%-50%. What's more, you can also get crafty with antique wax or paint to fit in with your kitchen's aesthetic; swap outdated pulls for an accent color that matches your backsplash or is cohesive with your kitchen cabinet drawers.

The compartments of a jewelry organizer help make organizing your tiny-but-necessary items simple and keep kitchen countertop clutter at bay. Keep in mind that because thrift stores sell an array of diverse and previously loved items, you may come across unique finds, including antique jewelry boxes and organizers. On the other hand, you may have to really sift around all of the aisles, or be prepared to visit other local thrift shops that sell jewelry or antique items.

When choosing a jewelry organizer for kitchen storage, you should look for one with multiple drawers. Do you struggle to find a home for your can opener, pizza cutters, or other oddly-shaped kitchen utensils? In that case, you should strive for a jewelry box with several compartments of various sizes. Maybe you have an overflow of packets of condiments crowding space in an already messy junk drawer, or want a more convenient space to store your collection of teas. For that, you might get away with using a box with two drawers.

If you're looking to wrestle the beast of decluttering your junk drawer, you can also devote this organizer to holding your miscellaneous household items. For example, you can store your batteries, lighters, or overflow of magnets. Since these items won't be used as frequently, you can store the box under the sink or in a cabinet.
