The junk drawer with—you guessed it—actual junk. The utensil drawer that won't even close. The office drawer that holds every charger you’ve ever owned, a singluar earbud, random batteries, and—wait—is that a Nokia phone charger?! Sound familiar?

Please know: you are not alone. After five years of organizing homes across Central Kentucky, our team has had some serious fun transforming these cluttered drawers into tidy little masterpieces. We believe drawer organization shouldn’t just tame the chaos—it should look so ridiculously good, you’ll want to show it off like it’s part of your home tour.

Our little secret? We use the SpaceAid Drawer Dividers with Inserts on almost every project we touch. We want to share with you how these organizers work their magic in all kinds of drawers… and maybe, just maybe, you’ll finally be able to close yours without using both hands and a prayer.

How We Use the SpaceAid Drawer Dividers

Whether it’s a junk drawer in the kitchen or a supply drawer in the home office, these dividers are our go-to solution for turning drawer chaos into calm. They’re easy to use, endlessly customizable, and dare we say… a little bit addictive once you see how good your drawers can look.

Here’s how we typically set them up:

• Declutter FIRST. IF you need more help with that part of the project check out this blog - Declutter & Organize Your Junk Drawer Using These Simple Steps

  
  

• Measure your drawer. The dividers come in two size ranges—13.25"–17" and 17"–22"—so you'll want to choose the right fit. They're spring-loaded to stay snug and secure, but starting with the correct size is key.

  • Click here to shop sizes* Reminder don't forget to check the height of your drawer. These drawer dividres are 2.5" tall.

    
    

• Decided on Inserts. Each kit comes with large and small inserts. Use the small inserts to create compartments for easy-to-lose items like paper clips, flash drives, tea bags, chapstick, rubber bands, and all those random little bits. Use the larger inserts for items like pens, scissors, and kitchen tools.

• Label each section. The included sticker set lets you clearly mark where everything goes, so everyone in the house knows the system. No more frantic “Where are the scissors?!” moments at 8:03 PM.

  • We used the Brother p_touch label maker for the labels you will see through out Grab it here*

Now we’re sharing some of our favorites to get your creative wheels turning. Scroll on for photos and tips from real-life drawer makeovers! I will also link which set we used for each photo.

Sidenote: I’m showing a variety of organization levels here—because you don’t have to be Marie Kondo to take advantage of this kit. Whether you’re just trying to make your drawer close without a fight, or you’re going full-on Home Edit, there’s something here for you.

Junk Drawer Organization

A jungle of randomness—you need a flashlight to find a pen. The "junk" drawer needs a new name afer we get done with it. Here we used the SpaceAid 7 Divders 15 Inserts Kit*

After: A beautifully sectioned layout for pens, batteries, tape, scissors, and the 17 rogue rubber bands you swear you’ll use someday.

Hot Tip: Use the mini inserts to corral tiny items like pushpins, chapstick, and mystery keys. Bonus: label everything so no one has an excuse to toss in random nonsense again.

Utility Drawer Organization

The secret lair of tools, tape measures, glue sticks, mini hammers, and probably a few mystery bolts. This setup wrangles the randomness while still keeping things accessible.

BONUS TIP You will see as we often will use clear bins as well inside the drawer dividers. The Home Edit has a line at Walmart where you get a whole kit for a very affordable price.

The Home Edit 10 Piece Bath Edit * & The Home Edit 6 Piece Office Drawer Edit * are the same height at 2.95" you can use one or both packs depending how large the drawer is. You can also purchase the clear bins individual.

Shown above is a combination of SpaceAid Drawer 4 Dividers with 9 Inserts * and The Home Edit 10 Piece Bath Kit. *

Silverware Drawer Organization

Nothing screams “I’ve got my life together” quite like a tidy silverware drawer. The dividers expand to fit your drawer like a dream, and the inserts let you create perfect zones for forks, knives, spoons—and yes, even those oddly specific grapefruit spoons you refuse to part with.

🍴 Small detail, big win: family members know where things belong (no more spoon/knife hybrid sections, please).

Utensil Drawer Organization

Spatulas, tongs, whisks, and that one garlic press you use twice a year—utensil drawers can get crowded fast. But with the right setup, even your bulkiest kitchen tools can live in peaceful, organized harmony. Here we used the SpaceAid 4 Dividers 9 Inserts Kit*

Kitchen MVP Move: Use the larger inserts to separate utensils by type or frequency of use. No more wrestling with a can opener just to get to your peeler. Everything stays in its lane—just like it should.

Tea & Drink Drawer Organization

Finally—your chamomile no longer mingles with your sleepytime. Store your tea packets, drink mixes, straws, and reusable coffee pods in neat, labeled sections. It’s functional and Instagram-worthy. Here we used the SpaceAid 8 Dividers 18 Inserts Kit*

Pro Move: Use inserts to organize by tea type, caffeine level, or sheer vibe.

Electronics Drawer Organization

Chargers, adapters, earbuds, USB sticks, mystery cables from devices you no longer own—it’s like a tech spaghetti situation in there. Here we used the SpaceAid 6 Dividers kit but also purchased extra inserts.*

Pro Tip: Bundle cords with twist ties or Velcro straps before they go in. Add a label if you're feeling extra organized (or just tired of playing the “what does this plug into?” game).

We came, we sorted, we conquered. Who knew drawer organization could feel this good?

Now it’s your turn: grab a tape measure, pick a drawer, and prepare to experience the pure joy of knowing exactly where your earbuds, tea bags, and weird little kitchen tools are hiding. Trust me—you’ll never look at a junk drawer the same way again.
