If you are a coffee and/or tea lover, your family and friends know it. That means that you get at least one new mug as a gift around the holiday season (and perhaps your birthday also.) That also means, chances are your mug collection has grown over the years. While you love your mugs – and many have a personal meaning to you – they can quickly take over cabinet space, leaving your kitchen feeling cluttered and disorganized.

My cabinets have definitely filled up over the years. They were stuffed with mugs and I knew I had get a handle on this problem. I hate getting rid of mugs, because most have a personal meaning to me. However, after I donated the ones that I was not attached to, I got busy and got creative with mug holders.

They are an easy solution to organize your space while keeping your favorite mugs within reach. So, if you are facing the same ‘mug’ problem, SimpleSpace has your back. It is easy to knock out and you’ll thank yourself!

Here is a simple guide to help you organize your mugs:

1. Types of Mug Holders

Countertop Stands
Freestanding mug trees are perfect for keeping a handful of mugs readily available.

Hint: Choose one that matches your kitchen’s decor.

Wall-Mounted Racks
If counter space is limited, wall-mounted mug racks are a game-changer. Install one above your coffee station and win back some space.
Under-Shelf Hooks
Maximize vertical space by adding hooks under your shelves. This is an easy DIY solution that wins back space and looks good.
Repurposed Solutions
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box! Repurpose items like coat racks, ladders, or even vintage frames to create a unique mug display..

2. Tips for Staying Organized

Rotate Seasonal Mugs
Rotate mugs as seasons and holidays change.
Group by Theme or Color
Organizing mugs by theme or color not only looks visually, but also makes it easier to grab the one you want.
Declutter Regularly
Donate or repurpose mugs you no longer use.

Mug holders are a simple way to organize and add to your kitchen’s decor. With just a little creativity, you can transform your mug collection into a functional and beautiful part of your home.
