Design Ideas for a Magnetic Drawer Organizer
- One idea is a basic magnetic basket drawer that is made of metal mesh. A deep basket can hold quite a bit of metal cooking utensils. If it has two or three sections in it, this will be an easier way to store things. Consider having one section large, another medium size and the third being small, as this will limit the number of objects in each section, keeping things more organized. Because the basket is mesh, you can look through it for the item you are looking for.
- Another idea would be a long deep drawer, much like a file cabinet, with sliding magnetic panels that you can put the metal utensils on each side. The panels can even be tagged with names, like files in a cabinet. Knives, spoons, spatulas and lobster picks will all have their own sliding panel to adhere to, making it simple to find what you are looking for. Even if the unorganized people in your life put a utensil on the wrong panel in the drawer, the sliding system will allow for a quick one-handed search for the utensil. All you have to do is slide the panels back and forth. This system is much safer than sticking your hand in a drawer full of sharp objects, such as knives, as you search for the utensil you need.
- Have magnetic drawers built into your cabinets sideways. Turn a normal drawer 180 degrees so when you open it the drawer has a back and four sides, which can all be magnetized. This will give you drawers without a bottom to fill up: You just hang the metal utensils on the back and the sides of the pullout panel drawer. When you open this slide-out drawer, you will be able to see at a glance if the knife you are after is stuck to the back or sides of the drawer. Not only will this save time, but it is a safety feature because you do not have to dig around a deep drawer full of sharp items when you need something.
