Dollar Tree's Over-The-Door Hanger Is The $1.25 Fix For Crowded Kitchens

Many areas of the house tend to clutter up quickly — the kitchen being a primary culprit. This problem area for unnecessary clutter can be resolved with a number of techniques. Try making use of underutilized space by affixing shelves to the walls, installing hooks to hold pot lids, and making use of vacant door space. As it turns out, the latter is especially achievable with an over-the-door hanger from Dollar Tree at the low price of $1.25.

This lightweight, affordable item comes with six white hooks, and it's one of many creative ways you can save space in the kitchen. Its minimalist, neutral design makes it a seamless fit for most kitchens. Though it seems like a rather simple addition, this tool can make your kitchen feel organized in a flash. This is because it allows tidy access to tools that would've otherwise been piled together on the countertop. For example, dishcloths that are constantly overflowing on your stove handle can now quietly live on the kitchen door.

If your kitchen has more of an open floor plan, this hanger can also work on the pantry door or inside of cabinets that are wide enough to accommodate its size (14.5 by 3.5 inches). This product has garnered a high overall rating of 4.2 stars on Dollar Tree's website. Customers have remarked that it is versatile and cost-effective, noting its efficiency for hanging bags, towels, pots, and even umbrellas.

Make the most of over-the-door storage

Dollar Tree's over-the-door hanger can be used in multiple locations throughout the home, including bedrooms and bathrooms, so you can match the rest of your home to this affordable kitchen find. These hooks not only serve as a holder for kitchen towels and aprons, but also work as a drying rack, allowing your towels to air out after use. You may also opt to use this tool for ladles, spatulas, and other cooking utensils that you're commonly grabbing. This hack will save you both time and clutter. You may opt to place the hooks over a cabinet drawer near the stove, which will neatly hide your utensils until you're ready to use them.

The great thing about this organization tool is that it's a rental-friendly option, which won't damage the door itself. As no screws or drilling are required, you'll just slide it over the top and fit it between the door and the frame. When you're next in the store, be sure to check out other simple and cheap Dollar Tree products that give you extra storage in your cluttered kitchen as well. Regardless of how you use it, your over-door hanger will certainly help reduce clutter and bring a bit more organization to your kitchen.
