Junk Drawer Organization Ideas.
Sometimes the most disorganized area of a home is also the smallest. I’m talking about the junk drawer! I think most people have a junk drawer in their kitchen or somewhere in their home. Right? It becomes a catch-all for those little odds and ends that we need and normally winds up looking like a mess. Hopefully these junk drawer organization ideas will help you keep things in order in your home!

Junk Drawer Organization Ideas
1.The first step is to organizing your junk drawer is to dump everything out.
2.Then decide what you want to keep and get rid of the rest.
3. Gather your containers.
4.Use one of these awesome organizing methods to put everything back nice and neat!
A Nod To Navy used these pretty plastic containers (love that color) to organize her junk drawer. You can easily get these at the Dollar Tree (don’t know if they come in that color though) or any big box store. Love how she lined the drawer too!
What a great way to repurpose something! See how to make these cute drawer dividers that are from cereal boxes @ I Heart Organizing
This beautifully organized junk drawer uses a bamboo flatware organizer @ Two Twenty One I love this one that I got from Amazon since it’s expandable.
This organizing idea uses plastic food containers @ Heroth Home
You can build this junk drawer organizer for $5 and in 15 minutes – instructions @ JRL Woodworking
Isn’t this drawer pretty! Wish mine looked like this 🙂 They used clear acrylic drawer organizers to keep things contained via BHG
These baskets are from The Container Store but you could use ones from the dollar store just as easily for a quarter of the price! via Oprah.Com

I make use of utensil organizers and, though I use a bamboo one for my utensils, I have been using a plastic one in the desk drawer. It has rounded sides and doesn’t fit in nice and square hence wasted space. I think it’ll get the old heave-ho. Thanks for rounding up these ideas!
You’re welcome! I think square/rectangular cubes utilize drawer space best. I like the idea of making my own cubes but I don’t know if I want to invest the time. I’ll probably look for some inexpensive drawer dividers at the Dollar Tree or one of the Marts. That way I can get to organizing!
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Right now, I am trying to organize our office, but not looking like any of those organized drawers. Need to give more thought about what is using the drawer space. Thanks for the neat ideas and I will be back for more inspiration.
Thanks for visiting Timeless Treasures with a nice comment. Hope you will visit again.

Good luck with organizing your office! That’s on my to do list as well. Today we’re tackling the garage (at least starting it).
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
If I was the only person who used the stuff in the junk drawers, they would stay clean, but my family seems to like disorganization.
Great ideas for all those “littles.”
