Falling in Love With AnyDrawer
Is it possible to fall in love with inanimate objects? If so, then I am in love with my AnyDrawer custom drawer organizers.
I have long been a fan of drawer organizers and have written about them several times, most recently in In Praise of Drawer Dividers. But AnyDrawer has taken my passion to a new level.
What do I love about the AnyDrawer custom drawer organizers? Let me count the ways.
- They are customized to the dimensions of your drawer and the size of what you want to organize.
- The sections are modular, so you can switch them around as your needs change.
- They are made from sustainable materials and come in a variety of colors.
I’ve customized two of my drawers with AnyDrawer in recent months. The first drawer I worked on was the silverware drawer in my kitchen. It was organized with a hodgepodge of products to fill out the space, none of which were doing a great job of making everything visible and accessible.
This is what my silverware drawer looks like now with my AnyDrawer custom inserts. I chose the “coffee” color to blend seamlessly with the wood of my drawer.
The second drawer I customized was my desk drawer. This is the “before” picture. I was using a drawer organizer that I had received as a sample from a vendor a long time ago. It wasn’t holding up well, and things slid around too much.
This is the “after” picture, using AnyDrawer’s “marble” color. Everything fits much better, and I was able to put “like with like” — that is, similar items in the same section. For example, all of the USB drives are now in one section, and the PostIt notes are no longer sliding into the tape flags every time I close the drawer.
AnyDrawer’s pricing is very reasonable, and the manufacturing and delivery time is fast for a custom product. You can see more about their products on their website.
Because the measuring and design of a custom solution takes some practice, AnyDrawer is using Professional Organizers to help deliver their excellent products to the public. If you’d like to take your drawer organization to the next level, let me know if I can help bring some clarity to the jumble of your drawers.
Great tip! I too have used similar drawer organizers for several decades (yep, I’m old). My only complaint is the dust/crumbs/etc that accumulates in their corners and crevices. It’s a chore to clean properly. Then I had a brillant idea. I switched to the metal mesh organizers. Now to clean a drawer filled with organizers, I simply lift each organizer, shake a bit, and clean the floor of the drawer with a vacuum followed by 409 and a paper towel. Quick and so easy!
