When you have a small kitchen, it's imperative to use your space wisely — this means investing in some smart organizational tools, like magnetic storage, as you could be missing out on one of the most obvious storage spaces in your kitchen. Not only does making use of your metal surfaces help you to maximize the use of your kitchen space, but it also gives you the opportunity to create storage that is easy to hang and move — a boon for renters or indecisive home owners. One of the best places to get organizational products is on Amazon. Not only do they have pages upon pages of options, but they are also frequently reviewed so you can determine which products performed the best once out in the real world. Since there are so many options out there, we chose three of the most highly rated magnetic storage solutions Amazon has to offer, from brands like HuggieGems and Ofiray-home.
Though intended for use in the kitchen, these are all incredibly versatile and can also be used effectively in other areas of the home like a laundry room, bathroom, garage, or office — they will even work if you used non-permanent adhesive coverings to give your kitchen appliances a fun upgrade. To help get your shopping started, here are some popular picks that could be just what you need to get your kitchen feeling more organized than ever before.
Mini magnetic shelves
Adding some extra shelving usually takes a couple tools, screws, and patience, but when all it takes to stick is a magnet, you can have new shelving up in seconds. The HuggieGems Magnetic Spice Storage Rack comes in sets of two, four, or six, and 19 different color options ranging from neutrals to almost every color of the rainbow. Each shelf can hold up to 8 pounds, but despite their tight hold on metal surfaces, they are still easy enough to move and readjust as you like. "The magnets that attach to the refrigerator or other appliance are very strong and even with many large containers of heavy spices, they stay in place and provide extra space out of the way of counters," one reviewer said of the 4.8 star product. "Although lightweight, the metal used in the product is very durable."
The shelves themselves only weigh 1 pound, and measure to about 11.8 by 4.3 by 4.3 inches, which is the ideal size for everything from spices to condiments to tea. The shelves are also collapsible, which makes them easy to move and allows you to store some away if you find you don't have a need for them anymore. Listed at $17 for a four pack, they are also pretty affordable, and the powder coated metal is resistant to rust, so they will last you a long time even when exposed to a humid cooking environment.
For fruits, veggies, and other heavy foods
8 pounds is a decent amount of weight for a shelf, but start piling up the bananas, olive oil, and hot sauces and you can run over that limit pretty quickly. If you need a bit more space and more capacity, the Ofiray-Home Store Magnetic Storage Bins, which come in a set of two, could be the answer. They have a wooden shelf on top with an open metal basket below that is great for holding fruits and veggies since they are exposed to fresh air. You can also keep an eye on their ripeness. They also come with four additional s-hooks, which can be used to hold everything from bananas to oven mitts, and each shelf can independently hold up to 33 pounds.
The product, which has a 4.7 star rating, includes a bamboo board on top, which not only looks nice, but also adds a sturdy touch to the shelf. "Top shelf is very spacious," One reviewer wrote. "Great value for the money. Very sturdy and magnet has strong stickiness." They also noted that it would be a great option for the laundry room as well since it is so large.
Keep your knives easy to reach but off the counter
It can be difficult to find aesthetic, affordable, and functional kitchen storage options, but the Hoshanho Magnetic Knife Holder seems to check all the boxes. Not only does it hold a 4.5-star average rating with over 3,800 reviews, but it is under $30 for the largest 16 inch option. Though many magnetic knife holders are made of metal, this one is made from a stunning piece of natural wood with a magnet fitted inside. Not only does it grip magnetically to the knives, but it also has three mounting options — magnets, screws, or adhesive. So there are essentially no limits as to where you can place it — or how handy you have to be to hang it yourself.
"I love this knife holder," a reviewer wrote. "It looks elegant and the wood is gentle on blades. So far, it's held up really well... The magnet is very strong and I have no fear of my knives falling down." While it is technically intended for use as a knife holder, it is actually quite versatile and can be used to hold anything that will stick to a magnet, so you can use it in various areas around your home to hold everything from tools to office supplies and keys.
