I’m always on the lookout for clever ways to make a small kitchen feel bigger, and the under-shelf drawer turned out to be one of those rare finds that actually delivers.
By sliding neatly under an existing kitchen shelving, the Joseph Joseph CupboardStore™ Grey Under-shelf Drawer, available on Amazon, instantly creates a whole new layer of vertical storage, transforming space that was previously wasted into a practical, easy-to-reach spot for all the little items that tend to clutter a compact kitchen.
The difference was immediate. Spices, tea bags, foil, and sandwich bags all found a neat new home, and those awkward little packets that used to disappear at the back of the cabinets are now perfectly visible and accessible. The pull-out drawer keeps everything tucked away yet easy to grab, giving my cabinets a calm, organized feel.
Maximize cupboard space with this easy-to-install under-shelf drawer. Perfect for storing spices, packets, or small kitchen items, it attaches tool-free with strong adhesive and keeps essentials neatly organized and within reach.
Best of all, it liberated my ever-expanding ‘junk drawer.’ I shifted all the small odds and ends into this hidden spot, and for the first time in years, that drawer actually opens onto empty space. It may seem like a small change, but it feels like a real victory.
What I love most is how simple it is. Nothing about my kitchen cabinets or shelving had to change, yet it feels as though I’ve gained an entire extra drawer. I’m already planning to add a second one for coffee pods so I can reclaim even more vertical space and finally clear the countertop.
