1. Mounting a short towel rod or Command hooks onto the cabinet door makes a great hanging space for pot lids.

2. Adding several tension rods in a cabinet creates a great way to neatly store those unwieldy baking sheets.

3. Hang measuring spoons and cups on the cabinet door.

Paint the door with chalkboard paint first, and you have a great place to write grocery lists, important phone numbers, and other handy information.

I simply used Command hooks in my cabinet and then added labels for the measurements. You can get my labels here.

4. Velcro a magazine file box to the cabinet door to hold plastic wrap, foil, and waxed paper.

5. Store water bottles or travel mugs in a magazine file box tucked inside the cabinet.

6. Add spacers diagonally in a kitchen drawer to hold long-handled utensils.

7. Organize spices and save space by attaching $3.99 Ikea spice shelves to the inside of cabinet door.

I also keep my most-used spices in one of these right on my stove.

8. Attach a shortened shoe bag  or inexpensive plastic baskets to the inside of the door under the kitchen sink to hold cleaning supplies.

Inexpensive baskets from the dollar store can be attached with Command hooks or strips to the inside of kitchen sink cabinets to store cleaning supplies.
