Keeping mugs in a drawer

8 replies

We are having a kitchen re vamp and I think I'd like to move the tea and coffee mugs to a drawer.
Has anyone done that? How do I keep them in place for when I move the drawer? Im trying it now and they are rattling around horribly.
TIA

I go to a playgroup and they have them in a drawer lined with some plastic net thing so they don't move when you open and close the drawer.

You can get non slip matting to line the drawer. We have it to line the cupboards in the motor home to stop the cups sliding around. You get can it from Amazon :)

We have mugs in a pan drawer. They don't slide around at all. We store them rims down.

Oh that sounds clever. If there was room I would also be inclined to store the tea, coffee and sugar in the drawer too. Making it into a one-stop tea/ coffee making station

We have mugs and crockery in the middle drawer with cutlery above, kettle on the worktop above and tea, coffee, sugar, etc in the wall unit above that. If you store the tea and coffee in the same drawer, there's a risk the drawer doesn't get shut and is in the way whilst your making a brew and there's a chance things will get spilled into the drawer too.

thanks for the replies.
I've ordered the mat and will have a test next week. I'm moving things round in the for the first time in 13 years and it's quite therapeutic. Smile

We have mugs in a cupboard near the kettle but glasses/ tumblers are in a drawer. We have a unit with 2 cutlery drawers above deeper pan drawers and have cutlery and glasses in the cutlery drawers and then plates, bowls etc in the pan drawers. It is great. My kitchen has very few cupboards really and lots and lots of pan drawers.
