Why would you even need to organize your plates and bowls? One reason is to prevent chips and scratches. Another is to make the different sizes of your plates and bowls more easily accessible. And did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your plates and bowls, you must purge the damaged ones and the ones you do not use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your plates and bowls. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your plates and bowls with different organizing solutions. I share how I organize my own plates and bowls here.

How to Organize Dishware in Cabinets

Organizers like the ones below help you to separate the different sizes of plates and bowls that you have so that you aren’t trying to pull dishes out from under other dishes. Pulling dishes out from in between other dishes can create chips and scratches. With these organizers below, you can simply take each dish from off the top of the stack!

This option is great for the corner of your cabinet (found here):

This is a great adjustable option (found here):

You can also use an option like this to store each plate vertically (found here):

These organizers below are meant to be used in cabinets. I hesitate to recommend using these in cabinets as I imagine them tipping over when one plate or bowl is left at one end. However, I think these options below will work well within a drawer if they sit closely together as the walls of drawer should keep them in place (found here):
