That Drawer Is A Disaster Zone
You open it to grab a saucepan and three lids clatter out. Everything's piled on top of everything else. You can never find the pan you want without excavating the whole drawer.
And the noise when you open or close it? Like a car crash in your kitchen.
💡 Pro tip: Good drawer dividers aren't just about tidiness - they protect your pans from scratching each other and make everything much easier to grab.

|---|---|
| Each pan has its own slot | Everything piled together |

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to organize your pan drawer yourself? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- Tape measure
- Adjustable drawer dividers or pegboard system
- Non-slip drawer liner (optional but recommended)
- Your patience for measuring
📏 Measuring your drawer
- Measure internal width (side to side)
- Measure internal depth (front to back)
- Measure height of drawer sides
- Note any obstacles (drawer slides, weird corners)
- Measure your tallest pan including lid
🗃️ Types of dividers
For pan drawers:
- Adjustable dividers: Spring-loaded, fit most drawers (£15-25)
- Pegboard systems: Ultimate flexibility, bit pricey (£30-50)
- Expandable bamboo: Look good, environmentally friendly (£20-30)
- DIY wooden strips: Cheapest option if you've got tools (£5-10)
📦 Arranging your pans
- Store pans vertically if possible - easier to grab
- Lids can go vertically too, or in a separate divider
- Most-used pans near front or easiest to reach
- Stack similar sizes together
- Leave a bit of wiggle room - you need to grab them
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Dividers too tight - can't get pans out easily
- Not accounting for lid height
- Dividers that slide around when drawer opens
- Over-organizing - sometimes simple is better
💡 Pro trick: Use a non-slip drawer liner underneath dividers to stop them shifting. Also protects your drawer base from scratches. The rubberized mesh stuff works best - about £5 per drawer.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🍳 Doing a kitchen reorganization? While I'm there, I can sort out your cutlery drawer, utensil drawer, baking tray storage - the lot. One visit, whole kitchen sorted.
Got awkward drawers? Deep ones, narrow ones, corner drawers - I've seen them all in Exeter's older houses. There's usually a solution, even if it means custom-making something.
Rental property? Drawer dividers don't damage anything - you can take them with you when you leave. Landlords actually like organized kitchens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply the dividers or do I buy them?
Either way works. I can advise on what'll fit your drawers and pick them up, or you can buy them yourself. The adjustable bamboo or wooden ones work best for most pan drawers.
Will dividers fit my existing drawers?
Almost always yes - most dividers are adjustable or can be cut to size. I'll measure your drawer and make sure they fit properly. Even awkward deep drawers can usually be sorted.
Can you do dividers for other drawers too?
Absolutely - cutlery, utensils, baking trays, whatever needs organizing. While I'm there, might as well do them all. It's the same process.
What if my drawer's an odd shape?
Then we might need to get creative - cut dividers to size, use multiple smaller ones, or custom-make something from wood. I'll work out the best solution when I see it.
Will the dividers stay in place or slide around?
Good ones have non-slip feet or we can add some grippy matting underneath. I'll make sure they're secure - no point having them sliding around when you open the drawer.
