How To Choose Ikea Drawers To Keep Your Kitchen Countertops Organized - Tasting Table

"It starts with decor, because we all want a cozy, personalized space. Then comes the serveware we want to display or can't fit anywhere else. After that, there are the cooking tools and the ingredients (like produce) that do best at room temperature, followed by homework, recipes, shopping lists, and Tupperware - surely there are clever solutions for countertop organization, right?"

"But there are some things you should know before you begin browsing the Ikea website. You want to be sure your new storage drawers won't be bothered by the fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels in your kitchen; materials like metal do best. Of course, your color and aesthetic also need to match your kitchen design. Additionally, it helps to know what you'll be storing in your new Ikea products. Fruits like apples and bananas, for example, benefit from some air flow."

Kitchen countertops accumulate decor, serveware, cooking tools, room-temperature ingredients, paperwork, and containers, causing clutter. Narrow, shallow Ikea drawers stacked vertically can multiply storage within the footprint of one drawer, making items accessible while freeing horizontal surfaces. Choose sets sized to fit on counters and possibly under cabinets. Prefer materials that withstand kitchen temperature and moisture fluctuations, such as metal. Match drawer color and aesthetic to the kitchen. Identify what will be stored before purchasing, and ensure airflow for fruits like apples and bananas to preserve freshness.
