An organized coffee station can save time and energy in the mornings, making your mornings easier. But an overflowing cabinet beneath your espresso machine can make things harder to grab what you need for a brew, leading to chaos when trying to put everything back into its rightful places. By employing some smart ideas, your favorite mugs will remain within easy reach of you while working with rather than against your cabinet.

Start by decluttering. If there are too many mugs out, rotate them so a few favorites are visible while keeping the rest stored away. Also follow home organizer Duckworth’s one in, one out rule; whenever adding new pieces to your collection, donate or throw out at least one old item as suggested by him.

If you want to put your mugs out on display, consider stacking them vertically (along with bowls and canisters of coffee beans). Make sure they’re sturdy mugs as triple-stacked ones may become unstable with time. Another space-saving approach would be hanging them from pegboard, which allows for easy rearrangements when your look becomes monotonous.

Make an eye-catching coffee bar by revamping an unneeded cabinet or curio shelf with hooks and an eye-catching paint color, such as this blogger has done by hanging her colorful coffee cup collection as wall art in her neutral kitchen.

If you decide to install in-cabinet mug hooks, opt for slide-in types without drilling; they are more renter-friendly. While their weight capacities may be less than those anchored hooks, they can help tame even the most disorganized cabinet. Adding a lazy Susan may make retrieving cups from back of cupboard easier without searching through entire stack.
