Do you ever feel like you're spelunking when you try to reach for a can of beans or a bag of chips from the kitchen cabinets? Well, if so, you're not alone. While most people love deep cabinets, the truth is that bringing that can of chicken noodle soup from the dark shadows of the cabinet and into the light can be quite the task when the cabinet is full. But luckily, there is a way to organize this space to prevent those tip-toeing reach sessions every week. A few wire angled shelves, some stackable trays, and other organizers can make your life easier by allowing you to create more shelving in the space, thereby increasing the available room.

The great thing about this hack is that it's budget-friendly, simple, and can create various storage options. To make organized goods easily reachable inside your cabinet, you can add these Tebery 2-Pack under shelf hanging baskets. And to create additional shelving, try some stackables, such as these Simple Houseware 2-Tier organizers. Overall, you'll find that this hack can help you utilize every inch of storage space inside your cabinets. With a little creativity, you can quickly declutter your kitchen without going overboard and delving into a deep cleaning session. And the good news is that it'll cost less than $80.

Step-by-step to use organizers to maximize cabinet space

Before ordering organizers, measure the length, width, and depth of your cabinets to determine which types and sizes will work well. Then, to kick this project off, it's best to remove everything from your cabinets. Next, grab one of your standing under-shelf hanging baskets and lay it at an angle inside the cabinet, with the top of it resting on the back of the cabinet wall. Here, you can add your canned goods by layering them on top of each other — so it's best if the bigger ones are placed on the bottom. 

To the side of the shelving, consider adding the 2-tier organizers and adding additional canned goods there. Or, you can use this area to house stackable boxed goods or containers of grains, such as rice or cereal. Turn your cluttered kitchen into an organized masterpiece by tossing this Simple Houseware pot organizer holder inside your bottom cabinets, preventing those noisy and back-bending reach sessions. And the magic doesn't stop there. 

Maximize your cabinet space even more by adding an under-hanging basket to the bottom of the shelving in the cabinet (and if you can add two, even better). This provides a great place to store lightweight items such as soup or seasoning packets, or even small condiment containers or drink enhancers. These conveniently located shelves are also perfect for housing high-use items for easy access, such as sandwich bags, chips, and after-school snacks.
