Kitchen Sink Counter Organizer Ideas

Pinterent    Februari 24, 2024    Comment   

I have had this post planned in my head for a while. After all, I spend a fair amount of time in front of the kitchen sink. Who doesn’t? So, I want to share some kitchen sink counter organization products and ideas with you. These ideas will help you keep your sink area decluttered and always clean.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference. The last time I shared the organization of this little corner of my kitchen sink counter was when I posted my dollar store under the kitchen sink organization. Our sink is almost flush with the counter, with little to almost no room for a kitchen sink organizer. So I always opted for a small vanity tray that held the dish soap, hand soap, and sponge.

As you can see, it wasn’t the most functional way to organize my kitchen sink essentials (dish soap, hand soap, and sponge). But as long as I had a tray that could contain the water, and soap drips, I was happy.

I keep everything else under the kitchen sink (including those three bottles you see on the counter), which I keep inside an over-the-cabinet door basket. The most functional organization item I have ever purchased!

Today, my kitchen sink counter is a lot more organized. All because I found a bigger organizer tray that holds more products. We also updated our sink to this Ruvati Overmount single bowl, which gives me a little bit (just a tad!) more room for my sink essentials.

The organization of this kitchen sink counter is no rocket science. But I will show you the products I currently use to organize my kitchen sink and why I love them.

How To Organize The Bathroom Counter & Tub Surround

Many years ago, I had a sponge holder. One of those that stick to the sink with a suction cup. And while it served its purpose of holding the sponge, I personally didn’t love it. The holder kept sliding down, and it didn’t allow the sponge to air dry. That was as far as I went to have a kitchen sink organizer. That, and my drip -vanity- tray.

But, one morning, strolling through TJ Maxx, I stumbled upon a much different type of sponge holder. You will see what I am talking about!

I found this silicone kitchen sink organizer tray as a ‘suggested product’ one time (almost a year ago!) while I was checking out on Amazon. Amazon ‘really’ knows the way to my heart.

This silicone tray comes in so many colors, too! But of course, I am super traditional, and I chose white. It also comes in two sizes; this one is 12″x4″.

In an effort to make things look aesthetically pleasing while still keeping function, I opted to upgrade my dish soap container. Every few months, I would purchase a new small pump of Dawn Platinum Foam, and refill it when needed.

I purchased this foaming soap pump dispenser. It’s sturdy and compact (3x3x7.5 inches), fitting perfectly over the silicone organizer tray that sits on the narrow strip of the sink.

I’ve had my Bubble Up Set from Grove for years! I love that is practical, pretty, and compact. You can get one here, use my link for a FREE gift!).

There are many other dish scrubber options out there. But I personally chose to stick to the Bubble Up scrubber set because it’s small. The ceramic dish is easy to clean, and I only have to purchase a new brush every few months.

I prefer it over the ones with a refillable handle, like this one, for example. Although they’re practical, they’re bulky and add more clutter to the sink.

This little sling inspired me to share my tiny but mighty kitchen sink counter organization. The caddie forms to your sink. You can bend it and loop it through your sink’s faucet or hang it over the dividing wall of a double sink.

I get giddy when I find functional products that fit my space and needs perfectly. Seriously, I can not tell you how happy this sling sink organizer makes me! The sponge stays in place and air-dries quickly. All the water drips back to the sink. Perfection.

Lastly, I always keep hand soap over my kitchen sink. And, just as I did with the dish soap, I transferred it to a hand soap dispenser. I found this at my local Target’s Bullseye Playground, but they’re available everywhere and also at grove.co.

The silicone sleeve protects the glass from breaking or chipping the kitchen sink counter. More and more, I see these clear bottles with pretty labels (or decals) and silicone sleeves. They add the perfect final touch to any kitchen sink counter organization.

One short scroll through Instagram, and you will probably find hundreds of kitchens with snow-white counters, farmhouse sinks, and unparalleled organization. And although I tried to replicate beautiful, and I mean jaw-dropping, kitchen sink areas like Jenn’s, at Clean & Scentsible, I failed miserably. I don’t have the space.

Now this vital area of our kitchen is organized, and it only took a few minutes.

How To Organize Under The Kitchen Sink A Cultivated Nest

The state of our kitchen island is the biggest indicator of how well we will keep our house tidy on any given day.

When dishes and mail pile up, it sets off a crazy chain reaction of mess. But the opposite is also true. When we keep the island and sink clear, suddenly my instinct reverses and I find myself pausing to straighten up the rest of the downstairs before bed or between work tasks.

Even though it’s been years since I noticed this relationship between the island and the rest of the house, I hadn’t spent enough time putting products and processes in place to make it easier. Until now!!!

How To Organize Under Your Kitchen Sink

On any given day, this is what the sink looked like. A few items gathered in the sink and a handwash knife & meat thermometer almost perpetually on the counter. Clearly, we care enough to prevent them from sitting in any water, but not enough to always wash and put them away immediately after dinner. #adultingfail

The mish-mash of soap dispensers and sponges weren’t doing anything for our decor either. Then there was the issue of the drains. They used to be oil-rubbed bronze, but much of the finish has worn off. No matter how much I clean them, they always look dirty. It’s not a great incentive to clear the sink when you aren’t happy with how the drains look.

I am honored to be a part of InterDesign’s brand new blogger collaboration program. You’ve seen me use their products for years, most notably the tiered organizer I used under the bathroom sink. I’m thrilled about the new partnership and knew they were the perfect brand to get my sink under control.

I used the InterDesign Axis Sink Strainers in Bronze to cover up most of the discoloration. It’s the perfect camoflage until we’re ready to replace the sink and drains.

The strainers are functional on top of helping the sink look better. The strainer portion is flexible and it makes it really easy to pop any trapped food right into the trash.

Next up, I was ready for an alternative to the knives on the counter and the stemless wine glasses constantly falling over in the sink.

The InterDesign Metro Dish Drainer might be my new best friend. I can set in in the sink to safely collect dirty dishes out of sight…

I started with a Formbu vanity tray. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box to get the perfect organizing solution!  I added a Clarity Scrub Hub, which has spots for 2 sponges and drain holes on the bottom.

For soap, I picked out the gorgeous InterDesign Casilla Foaming Soap Dispensers in blue. I couldn’t resist labeling them using my vinyl-cutting machine.  Aren’t they cute?
