It's all too easy for a mug collection to get out of hand. Between merch that you just couldn't pass up, seasonal pieces for holidays, and everyday go-tos, you may quickly end up with more mugs than you or your cabinets can handle. And although decluttering seems like an obvious way to deal with that problem, you shouldn't throw out your mugs without trying a brilliant solution that makes stacking and storing coffee mugs so simple — slide-on baskets. Slide-on storage baskets offer an effortless way to stack mugs that otherwise wouldn't fit neatly on the shelf, helping you make the most out of the vertical space in your cupboards.

These baskets are suitable for nearly all cabinet and cupboard shelves and are simple to install without tools or hardware so anyone can use them, regardless of your skill level. Being easy to install and remove without causing damage, they're also perfect for renters needing extra kitchen storage space. From the dollar store to the thrift store and several online outlets in between, you'll find this style of storage basket just about anywhere. And for a decent price, too. So, if you've been on the hunt for a genius coffee mug storage idea that doesn't take up any cabinet space, it may be time to consider a slide-on basket.

How to use slide-on storage baskets to declutter mugs

When the time comes to purchase a slide-on storage basket, you will find a few different variations. For something affordable, these Tebery Black Under Shelf Wire Baskets are a good choice. However, if you're worried that the wire baskets won't be stable enough, you can opt for something a little stouter. The Nxconsu 2Pack Under Shelf Storage Basket Organizer, for example, boasts sturdier arms and a solid base suitable for all kinds of dishes.

Whichever basket you end up choosing, installation remains the same. Simply slide the arms of your basket onto the bottom of one of your cupboard shelves. Then, you're free to start stacking mugs on and under the basket. For ease of access, put out-of-season mugs or mugs you don't reach for everyday towards the back of the basket, and keep your regularly used mugs below on the cupboard shelf. It may also be a good idea to add a sheet of GORILLA GRIP powerGRIP Drawer Shelf and Cabinet Liner to your basket to protect your cups from sliding around and chipping. Of course, if you do find any damage, there are always clever ideas to try before throwing out old coffee mugs so that all is not lost.
