Swap Your Round Lazy Susan For An Organizer That Saves A Lot More Space
They say lazy Susans are a kitchen's best friend and we couldn't agree more. Not only do these rotating organizers keep essentials within reach, but they make cabinets and surfaces substantially neater. However, their round shape isn't the most space-savvy. Circular lazy Susans tend to leave awkward, unusable spaces around them. They work best for storing round objects, since anything else can create wasted gaps on the turntable itself. Since every inch counts when space is limited, allow us to introduce you to an even better organizing superhero: rectangular lazy Susans.
Are you surprised we're partial to lazy Susans? Hear us out — the rectangular-shape eliminates dead corners, freeing up more space for other products. And yet, it has a bigger surface area, which means it can accommodate a lot more items compared to their round counterparts. Case in point: the $15 VanlonPro Rectangular Refrigerator Turntable. Besides being a space-saver, we love that this kitchen gadget makes accessing things in the fridge easier. Just swing the tray out to face you and grab what you need.
The LAMU Rectangular Lazy Susan is another Amazon favorite, but slightly more expensive at $24.99. One glowing reviewer said this organizer is "functional, durable, and brings a touch of organization magic to your refrigerator." Just don't forget to leave room on one side for the unit to fully rotate.
Rectangular lazy Susans are perfect for fridges, but that's not all
@little_label_co Who would've thought a rectangle lazy susan fits better in fridges than a round one 🙌🏽 #newproduct #littlelabelco #fridge #fridgeorganization #organise #lazysusan
While it's a stellar organization product to keep your refrigerator under control, why stop there? You can use rectangular lazy Susans all over the house. Put one under the sink to house cleaning supplies. Place another in your kitchen cabinet to organize a large spice collection. In the living room, the rotating tray serves as a coffee table centerpiece, holding card games, remote controls, coasters, and more. You might even want to display the piece on your minibar or coffee station for convenience.
Did we mention lazy Susans are also an underrated storage trick that brings order to a chaotic laundry room? You can squeeze in small and bulky laundry essentials (dryer balls, stain sprays, pet grooming tools, and detergent bottles) on the tray. And the ideas keep coming. Repurpose your upgraded lazy Susan into a perfume display. Store craft supplies in mason jars and pop them in the lazy Susan. Or, make it work in the bathroom to keep toiletries and beauty products readily available. It's amazing how this clever adaptation of a lazy Susan manages to save space and provide ample storage at the same time.
