Costco's Kitchen Essentials Make Organizing Deep Shelves So Much Easier

Deep shelves are both a blessing and a curse. Whether they're in the kitchen, bedroom, or laundry, they're beneficial in that they offer loads of storage space. You can really pack in the pantry staples or laundry essentials when the cabinets allow for deeper-than-normal shelves. However, a clear downside is that the deeper you store things, the harder it will be to see what's available in the back. If you group things loosely without containers, the items in the back will end up in an "out of sight out of mind" predicament. However, you can quickly fix that issue and organize areas with deep shelves by utilizing Costco's iDESIGN Linus Deep Storage Bins.

This six piece set retails for $49.99 from Costco, making each bin an affordable $8.33. This set comes with three wide bins and three narrow bins. The wide ones are 6 inches wide, whereas the narrow ones are 4 inches. Both are 16 inches deep. If you're storing this in the kitchen, this set can stash anything from snacks to juice boxes to sauce cans. If it's in the laundry room, you can easily utilize these deep containers to corral various cleaning supplies and sponges. And if it's in your bedroom closet, use these to catch foldable accessories, such as scarves, beanies, and gloves. 

If you find that you need more than just one solution to make your deep shelves more functional, there are more things you can pick up from Costco to finish your project. Another great way to make back items easier to reach is to elevate them higher than those in front. That way you don't have to rummage through your items, knocking things over or pushing them out of the way to grab what you need. A tidy and easy way to elevate them is to use a shelf organizer stand. It's a simple way to utilize every inch of cabinet storage space.

One option is the Smart Design Shelf Organizer, which costs $14.97 online for four. Made from a wire frame, it's strong enough to hold anything from vegetable cans to cleaning bottles. It's also a great way to maximize space on open shelving. It has plastic feet to protect the inside of your cabinet from metal scratches, and you get two large shelves and two mediums, giving you some variety on what you can stash. Or, if you want deeper and taller bins to house bulkier items, then you can try out iDESIGN's Linus Plastic Fridge/Pantry Kitchen Organizer Bins. They cost $23.99 online for four bins, and these acrylic containers are 10x6x5 inches. This makes them perfect for everything from olive oil collections in the kitchen to shampoo and conditioner bottles in the bathroom.
