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.

Here’s what my cupboard looked like before,

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!
