Declutter All The Water Bottles In Your Cabinets With One Smart & Affordable Hack

If there's one thing almost every kitchen has in common, it's that dreaded water bottle cabinet. Water bottles can be bulky, oddly shaped, and tall. Before you know it, you're dealing with a jumble of stainless steel, plastic, and insulated tumblers rolling around every time you reach for a cup in your cabinet. 

The good news is you don't need to buy an expensive organizer to get things under control. All you really need is a bookend (yes, the same kind you'd normally use on a bookshelf). By standing a sturdy bookend upright in your cabinet, you can instantly create a boundary that keeps your bottles corralled into their own section. No more rolling, clanking, or toppling towers. If you already have a spare bookend lying around, this hack is free. If not, investing in one is one of those genius hacks that will help you utilize every inch of cabinet storage space.

Putting this hack into action couldn't be easier. Place your bookend long side up inside your cabinet against a corner, then stack your water bottles horizontally on their sides against it. This setup keeps them from rolling around and instantly creates a designated space where you can nearly line them up. Think of it like a mini storage rack that doesn't cost you more than a couple of dollars.

If you don't already have a bookend, thrift stores often have plenty for cheap. If you want to create different sections or color-code your water bottle organization, you can use several bookends to create specific areas. You can even try this hack in your pantry or garage to create storage for thermoses or reusable coffee cups. 

While you're organizing, you may decide it's time to downsize and repurpose some of your metal water bottles around your home and garden. And for more decluttering ideas, here's how to easily organize water bottles in your kitchen cabinet with one Dollar Tree item.
