5 Creative Ways to Organize Your Coffee Mugs
As soon as your coffee cup collection starts to accumulate, its unwieldiness becomes apparent. Sooner or later it has turned into an impenetrable pile of ceramic Jenga within your kitchen cabinet! But fret not; these creative yet cost-effective storage or display solutions ensure your morning brew stays hot, fresh, and easy to grab every time!
Individual Mug Hooks Installing single mug hooks is one of the easiest and most versatile ways to organize your mugs. Perfect if you have extra space in your cabinets or pantry, single hooks can be installed vertically or horizontally depending on their placement – interior designer Chantelle Hartman Malarkey suggests placing shorter hooks at the front with tallest ones behind.
2. Create A Decorative Mug Stand To showcase the look of your mugs on display, consider creating a dedicated mug stand by turning an attractive cabinet or standalone cabinet into a dedicated storage solution for them. Paint it a stunning shade and add decorative accents like curtains for extra style points before using its shelves to store mugs by theme or size and create visually attractive displays, like this blogger did!
3. Rotating Organizer Those with limited counter space will find that rotating organizers provide an effective solution for storing their coffee accessories, from simple three-tiered designs to mug trees that spin like lazy Susans for maximum storage space. You’ll find numerous styles and sizes of rotating organizers online.
4. Floating Shelves
One easy and affordable way to organize your mugs is with floating shelves. Simply hang a decorative curtain, store supplies on tiered racks below the shelf, and embellish with some framed prints for an eye-catching yet functional display of mugs.
5. Mug Storage Box If you own an array of different-sized and shaped mugs, a mug storage box could be the right solution. Its cubbies should accommodate most cups; but first make sure they will accommodate those of an unusual shape before purchasing one. If not, perhaps now is a good time to part ways with some that are less-than-favorite!
6. Cabinet Cupboard Racks
If space allows, installing a rack beneath your cabinets is an effective way to store mugs. This solution works especially well when dealing with shallow cabinets as you can stack mugs without risk of them collapsing. Whenever choosing this option make sure the rack can accommodate an adjustable number of mugs as this way your mug storage solution won’t become outdated quickly.
Establish a one-in, one-out rule as the best way to keep your mug collection tidy. Each time you purchase a new mug, donate one that hasn’t seen use lately in exchange. That way, there will always be room in your kitchen for those that actually get used.
