After years of organizing kitchens, I’ve seen it all when it comes to sinks – and trust me, there are simple ways to make this space both beautiful and functional.
The action happens in your sink- from morning coffee cups and sticky breakfast plates to dishwashing and pot scrubbing. But when it’s a cluttered mess, even simple tasks feel overwhelming because a sink full of dirty dishes is enough to deal with 😉
The good news? A little smart organization and the right tools will go a long way to keeping things in order and the rest of your kitchen in check.
Check out these smart sink solutions at the Kitchen Stuff Plus Organizing event to organize all your essentials, from sink tops to the dreaded under-the-sink chaos.
Sink Top Solutions
Keep your counters clear; your brain will thank you. The less you have to visually ‘process’ when entering your kitchen, the better and lighter your mental load will feel.
Just as important? Those tidy surfaces will give you the freedom to prep, cook, and move efficiently through your kitchen tasks – so why give up a chunk of it to drying dishes?
The KSP SINKSMART Roll-Up Dish Drying Rack W/Utensil Caddy is a smart solution for drying dishes and utensils over your sink, keeping water where it should be and freeing up precious counter space. Not to mention, it looks great!
The visual chaos created by soap bottles, sponges and brushes scattered around your sink’s edge is not a good look- neither is the soap scum and excess water it creates. Keep the clutter clean with a simple solution like the KSP Sinksmart Silicone Sink Organizer Tray to provide a polished look and intentional home for your sink besties.
Inside Sink Storage
I don’t love a soggy sponge stuck to the bottom of my sink?! (I’m pretty sure I am not the only one;)
Everything in your home needs a home, even your soggy sponges and dish brushes! Use the walls of your sink to your advantage and keep your sponges and brushes off the bottom of your sink with the Casabella Sink Sider Suction Cup Sponge Holder.
Not only does this free up your sink base for better drainage, but your cleaning tools will dry faster. Less moisture means less bacteria and less stink! Plus, you won’t have to reach for the soggy sponge stuck to the bottom of your sink again 😉
Under Sink Organization
If there’s one area that has clients constantly asking for help, it’s the awkward space under the kitchen sink. More often than not, ample space is available, but without organizing product it almost feels useless.
The key to optimizing under-the-sink storage is to use the available vertical space, which can sometimes be a challenge with drain pipes.
The KSP Space Logic Expandable Under Sink Shelf, with its adjustable height options and movable shelf slats, is the ultimate solution for maximizing space and function!
You can customize it to fit perfectly around any drain pipe configuration and accommodate taller cleaning products/dishwasher soap bottles.
Other under-the-sink heroes include the iDesign Linus Pantry Organizer Divided Turntable to corral kitchen cleaning products and the iDesign Linus Pantry Organizer Seasoning Pack for dishwasher pods and extra sponges.
The iDesign Linus Fridge ‘N Pantry Binz is also perfect for storing smaller items such as folded cleaning cloths, fabric grocery bags or your favourite ‘Scrub Mommy’ Dual-Sided Scrubber & Sponge.
Little helpers
We could all use a little help, especially when washing (and scrubbing) those stubborn casserole dishes.
Let’s finish your sink space and help you wash the dishes with the KSP Soft Bristle Silicone Bamboo Handle Dish Brush with Scraper Tip. This dish brush is gentle yet effective for scrubbing stubborn food, and its silicone bristles are odour and stain-resistant, keeping it looking (and smelling) just as it should.
The perfect complement to your dish brush is the KSP Soft Bristle Silicone Bamboo Handle Bottle Brush, which is perfect for washing up your favourite water bottles.
From sink-top solutions to under-sink storage and essential cleaning tools, thoughtful organization transforms your sink into an efficient workspace.
