How to Organize Pot Lids

One of the things that really annoys me is when I pull a pan out of the cupboard and the lids to my pots go crashing around. I have never had cupboards that allowed me to organize them on the door, until now. So today I want to show you how I organize pot lids in my cupboard, and give you four other ways to organize them using everyday items in your house.

I purchased these 3M Command Hooks to organize my pot lids because they are super easy to put on and they come off without leaving any residue on the cabinet.

Then I measured my lids and attached the Command Hooks to the cupboards. It took 3 hooks per lid, two for the bottom and one to hold the top of the lid. Here’s what they look like.

and here’s what it look like now. It’s not a huge change but it’s one that will make a big difference and make it much easier to access my pots and pans!

After posting my friend Melissa’s organized kitchen I received another great tip, from a reader, for organizing pot lids. She said she purchased these CD racks at a Dollar store and they work perfectly for organizing her lids.

Here’s another great way to organize pot lids. Purchase a simple towel bar and hang it on the back of your cupboard door. Place the lids in the towel rack and you have instant lid organization!

This next idea for organizing pot lids is one of my favorite. I would never look at a dish rack and think “hmmm, I think I could organize some lids in that.” But it’s a great idea!

I also love this idea if you have cupboard with shallow shelves. This pot lid rack is from IKEA but if you don’t have an IKEA near you, file holders for the wall, would work just as well!

    I love the Ikea idea. It is only $5.99! I am thinking of putting it on the inside side walls of my cabinet. I may need two – one for each side! Great Ideas here, thanks.
    I did organize my plastic measuring cups on the inside door of my cabinet with the command strips. SWEET!
    I open the door, see the size I want and go. I also put my measuring spoons minus the circle holder thingy, inside a plastic jar so they are always ready. Just grab the jar and pick the spoon I need. I have several sets… Yikes, this is a great site~

    You can use hooks for cups and attach a dog run from dollar tree between the hooks in an S shape and put your lids on the line at top middle and bottom.
