Measuring cups are one of those tiny kitchen tools that somehow take over an entire drawer the second you stop paying attention. After years of living in small apartments, I’ve learned that the best storage keeps measuring cups visible, easy to grab, and not constantly clattering around.
Inside Cabinet Door Hook Row
My go-to is hanging measuring cups on inside cabinet door hooks so each size has its own spot. In my last studio, this instantly freed up a whole drawer and made baking feel weirdly effortless.
May just do the trick:
- Wall Mounted Aluminum Rail with hooks: Secure your measuring tools with this sturdy rail system, perfect for saving valuable drawer space.
- Set of Metal S-Hooks: Hang cups individually and adjust spacing easily with these versatile, classic metal hooks.
- Stainless Steel Measuring Cups: Complete the look with durable, hangable measuring cups that nest neatly on your new storage rail.
Cork Liner to Quiet the Clang
If your measuring cups bang the door every time you close it, stick a thin cork liner or soft shelf liner behind them. I had one cabinet that sounded like a wind chime until I added this, and it made a huge difference.
Might be a good match:
- Adhesive Cork Sheet Roll: Create a custom noise-dampening surface instantly by cutting this self-adhesive cork roll to fit your cabinet space perfectly.
- Wall-Mounted Hook Rail: Hang your measuring cups securely and stylishly with a sturdy wooden hook rack that complements natural cork backgrounds.
- Metal S-Hooks: Suspend your kitchen tools effortlessly from racks or boards using these versatile and durable metal hooks.
Small Bin for “Extra” Measuring Cups
I corral mismatched or duplicate measuring cups in a little drawer bin so they’re contained but still easy to grab. This is my trick for households where the sets somehow multiply over time.
Explore these options:
- Wooden Drawer Organizer Bin: Create a warm, custom look inside your drawers while keeping loose measuring cups neatly contained and accessible.
- Clear Plastic Storage Bin: Instantly see every size of measuring cup you have with these simple, versatile bins that fit anywhere.
- Stackable Measuring Cup Set: Refresh your collection with nests of cups that save space and eliminate clutter in your newly organized bin.
Slim Rail With Hanging Hooks
A slim rail with hooks (inside a cabinet or under an upper shelf) is an easy way to hang measuring cups in a neat line. I love this because I can slide the hooks around when I switch to a different set.
Some ideas to consider:
- Brass Kitchen Rail with S-Hooks: Replicate the stylish look in the photo by installing a sleek brass rail to hang your essential tools.
- Stainless Steel Measuring Cups Set: Ensure accurate baking while adding a professional touch to your kitchen decor with these durable hanging cups.
- Under-Cabinet Utensil Rack: Maximize your vertical space and keep countertops clear by mounting this versatile rack under your upper cabinets.
Mini Pegboard Baking Zone
A small pegboard panel creates a dedicated home for measuring cups and makes awkward wall space actually useful. I’ve set this up in a pantry nook before, and it turned a dead corner into my favorite grab-and-go station.

Tension Rod “Drying Line”
A small tension rod inside a cabinet works like a tiny line where you can hang measuring cups with their rings or handles. I used this when my cabinet door wouldn’t fit hooks, and it was shockingly stable.
Consider these options:
- Small Spring Tension Rods: Create stable hanging space inside your cabinets quickly; these adjustable rods fit perfectly into small nooks.
- Brass S-Shaped Hanging Hooks: Hang your measuring cups easily on the rod with these durable hooks that maximize vertical storage.
