Under Sink Shelf  

When it comes to clearing and organizing chaos, an under sink shelf can clear the floor and keep everything in sight. There are simple shelves like those you would hang on a wall as an option. Those have the advantage of being mounted on either side and at any height you would choose. You can also set up how many you want and the spacing between them in order to hold taller containers. There are also adjustable units, with multiple shelves, so you can install them in the cabinet for maximum use of the space there. They can be adapted to fit around the pipes and expand to cover the widest area possible.

For example, the 13 year-old Michigan company, Organize-It, offers several different solutions. One that is very versatile and simple to work with is the "Expandable Under Sink Storage Shelf." There will be no tools involved in setting up this under sink organizer. It can be adjusted for any width from 18 to 33 inches; it is made to maximize all the usable space available. The shelves are made of a heavy plastic and mounted on expandable steel tubes. This means it will be able to comfortably handle heavier items. There are ten shelves that can be slid along the tubing so you can easily set it up around the pipes. The height of the shelves can also be maneuvered to accommodate taller items like spray cans or cleaning bottles. 

Another option offered by this company is the even simpler solution of using coated steel wire shelves that can be stacked. These sit high enough to store items under them, so you will have the ability to gain three storage areas with the purchase of a double shelf. If you have the advantage of having kept the clutter down, you may benefit by organizing and making the access easier by purchasing a shelf system like a couple of their Lazy Susan’s. They have them available in sizes from 10" to 21" in single or double-tiered units. This is another inexpensive, practical solution that will keep everything at your fingertips. 

There is another very simple solution manufactured by Dial Industries. Their "Cabinet Caddy" is made up of three trays that are adjustable for cabinet widths from 16 to 36 inches. The entire unit sits 2 1/4 inches high and 20 inches deep. The undivided center tray is 16 3/8" wide and the two side trays are 7 and 12 inches wide. The side trays have adjustable dividers to further organize items. No tools are required as you will simply lay this unit out on the cabinet floor. An advantage with this shelf is that it can catch any drips that might exist and prevent further water damage. Another idea is using the "Under Cabinet/Sink Shelf & Drawer Kit." This wire unit sits on adjustable legs with a chrome finish, a wire basket, and shelf on top. Two or more can be attached together to further optimize storage space. Both of these units can be found at Organize.com, as well as other retailers.

Using an under sink shelf, or a series of shelves, can be one of the least expensive and easiest ways to increase storage space and organize your clutter.  Most of these pieces for under sink storage will involve no tools to install and will provide total flexibility to allow you to set them up in any way you please.
