In this guide
Kitchen cabinets hide a lot of wasted space. Deep corners swallow pots, shelves leave gaps above plates and lids slide everywhere. The right organizer turns each cabinet into something you can see into and reach, without a remodel. These ten racks and turntables suit most kitchens and fit without tools.

Measure before you buy
Measure the width, depth and height of each cabinet and the door opening. Note hinges, pipes and the position of shelves. Choose organizers that adjust, since cabinets vary, and buy for the problem you actually have, not the one you imagine. A rack that fits well gets used every day; one that is slightly wrong ends up in a drawer.
Shelves and turntables
An expandable shelf riser
A riser adds a second level to a shelf, so plates sit below and bowls or mugs on top. Expandable ones fit different cabinet widths. Check the height under the shelf above so the riser clears it.

A turntable
A turntable brings the back row forward with one spin. It works best in a deep cabinet and for jars, oils and bottles.

An under-shelf basket
A basket hooked under a shelf uses the empty air beneath it, and suits wraps, bags and small packets. Check the shelf thickness so the hooks fit.

Wire baskets
Baskets with handles let you pull out a whole category at once, such as snacks or baking supplies, rather than reaching into the back.

Racks
A pot lid rack
A rack keeps lids upright and easy to find. Pick an adjustable one, since lid sizes vary a lot between pots.

A bakeware rack
Sheet pans and cutting boards stack awkwardly. In a rack they stand on end and slide out one at a time. It suits a cabinet that is tall rather than wide.

A can rack
A stackable rack feeds cans forward in order, so the oldest are used first and none get lost at the back.

A rack for the back of the door
The back of a pantry or cabinet door is free space. A tiered rack holds spices and small jars, but the door has to close with it loaded, so check the clearance.

Under the sink and liners
A slide-out organizer
A pull-out unit turns a deep cabinet into drawers, which is ideal under the sink. Measure the opening and where the pipes run before you buy.

Shelf liners
Liners stop sliding, protect shelves and make cabinets easier to wipe down.

Keep it working
Keep the daily items at the front and the rarely used ones at the back. Review the cabinets every few months, and take out anything you have not touched.
