How to organize a messy drawer?



1)  Customize
You can get your contractor or ID to plan and build customized "tou-fu cubes" or drawer dividers for your drawers. It is definably a more elegant option but is much more expensive. I did mine with a see-through-glass on top and the effect is awesome; so much so that subsequent clients of my ID asked for the exact same design.

2) Purchase ready made drawer dividers
Ikea sells very affordable drawer dividers. Besides Ikea, you can also find the following drawer organizers  as suggested by apartmenttherapy.com (prices in USD).

• Extendables Drawer Organizers from Neatnix, $12
• Bamboo Drawer Organizers from the Container Store, $9.99 - $24.99
• Tweed Drawer Organizers from the Container Store, $14.99 - $19.99
• Komplement Boxes and Baskets from IKEA, starting at $5
• Drawer Organizer Combo from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, $9.99
• Diamond Drawer Organizer from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, $7.99
• Wicker/Willow Basket Set from The Storage Store, $30
• Cedar Sweater Box from Amazon, $17.99


However, if you only want to organize small items like belts, scarves, ties and so on, honeycomb drawer divider is also an excellent alternative too.
