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!

How to Organize Awkwardly Shaped Serving Dishes

Some serving dishes are too large or awkwardly-shaped for any organizing solutions. I say, if your serving dish is pretty enough to display on it’s own, display it! China cabinets typically have ridges set into the bottom of the shelves to stand your platters upright to display.

You will just want to measure the diameter of the bottom of your bowls or dishes to make sure the protector is larger than that bottom, scratchy part of the bowl.
