How-To Guide
Getting Started
Organizing a drawer is a small project that delivers big results. It's fast, easy and fun to tame a messy drawer. Before you start, clear the countertop so you have a place to sort through everything in your drawer. Make sure you have a trash can and recycle bin handy.
Step 1: Clean It Out & Decide What To Keep
Sort everything into things you want to keep in the drawer and things that need a new home. Be sure to toss or recycle anything that is broken.
Step 2: Measure & Line Your Drawer
Use a tape measure to measure the width, depth and height of your drawer. This will help you determine whether to use expandable, modular or stacking organizers. Line it.
Step 3: Choose Your Organizers - Expandable
One-piece organizers that expand are a fast and simple solution. You can always add extra organizers to fill the space if your drawer is especially wide.
Choose Your Organizers - Modular
If you have an odd-sized drawer or items of many different sizes to store, modular organizers are the best solution. With these organizers, you can divide the drawer to fit what you are storing, creating a totally customized solution. We've made this step easy by putting organizers that fit the most common drawer sizes together in easy-to-shop Starter Kits.
Be sure to fill your drawer from side to side with your modular organizers to keep contents from shifting. And look for stacking organizers for use in deep drawers.
