Messy kitchen drawers take up valuable space and create unnecessary stress and frustration when you can’t find what you need. Organising them might seem daunting, but here’s a clever hack that will change the way you approach kitchen drawer storage.
Content creator Marisa (@mddesigns16) shared a brilliant hack on TikTok that requires just one simple item: a sheet of baking paper.
Her method offers a foolproof way to ensure that your storage containers fit perfectly within your drawers, eliminating the need for guesswork or returning ill-fitting extras.
How this kitchen drawer hack works
- Begin by taking a piece of baking paper. Measure and cut it to the size of your drawer.
- Take the baking paper with you to wherever you buy your containers or drawer storage items.
- Use the paper to map out precisely which containers will fit where within your drawer space.

Marisa’s followers on TikTok absolutely loved this tip, expressing their thanks for a simple tip.
One person commented, “Thank you! I feel so silly that I never thought of this.”
Another exclaimed, “Okay, so simple. So smart.”
Someone else chimed in, saying, “Omg, this is the best hack ever 😭🙏🏻 Thank you!!”
And if you’re shopping online, you can still use this hack – just get a tape measure to map out the dimensions of whatever drawer storage items you’re looking at buying.
How to organise kitchen drawers
To further help you in your quest for well-organised kitchen drawers, here are some additional tips:
- Declutter first: before you head off to your local storage container store, it’s important to declutter your drawers and get rid of items you don’t use anymore.
- Categorise items: Organise your items into categories to make them easier to find and sort. For instance, allocate one drawer for baking utensils, one for cooking utensils and another for cutlery.
- Use drawer dividers: Dividers help keep items separated and tidy, and they come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different utensils and tools.
- Factor in the layout of your kitchen: If you’ve got drawers in different parts of the kitchen, thinking strategically about what you put in each drawer can make a big difference. For example, having cutlery near the plates and bowls, or cooking utensils near the stove. As well as saving time, this can help keep kitchen drawers organised because what you need is close to hand.
