It's a good idea to declutter the kitchen first when organizing your home. Yet when the drawers are full and already cramped, counter space is running low, your options might feel limited. That's precisely where nifty products like Five Below's Rotating Art Organizer come into play. Priced at only $5, this swiveling set of six containers invokes memories of art class, charming with kaleidoscopic, pastel colors. However, don't underrate this organizer's kitchen practicality.

Start by tackling miscellaneous items in drawers; a great first step to kitchen organization. With its compact, roughly handheld compartments, this model is a great fit for bits and bobs that get shoved away in drawers. Got small bottle toppers, reusable condiment bottle spouts, or a cute set of Mini Serving Spoons, Forks, and Tongs you grabbed for charcuterie? Perfect — throw them in. 

The Rotating Art Organizer is ideal for kitchen tools that aren't used frequently. Whether that's an often-misplaced small funnel, whisk, or spatula, this colorful container makes grabbing a utensil easy. Not to mention, you could always use the rotating organizer for excess silverware, be it forks and knives, chopsticks, or variously sized spoons. Contained inside this cute set, kitchen items no longer need to create a source of jammed drawers, but rather an eye-catching appeal.

Simply transferring kitchen items into an organizer already eases clutter. However, make use of this model's charming aesthetics to further enhance storage. Color coding is one of the best kitchen organization strategies, and with this model's spectrum of hues ranging from purple to yellow and green, this purchase makes categorization easy.

Consider matching each color (or even a group of colors) for a cooking task. For instance, baking items — say piping bag tips, small measuring cups, pastry brushes — can go into cool hues like green and blue. Meanwhile, roasting tools, like twine, thermometer, and scissors, land in warmer red and yellow. Once dish preparation starts, you can simply pull out these segments, leaving other organizers behind.

Alternatively, use the hues to delineate by flavor. Lighter compartments can be used to house vanilla flavor or extract, as well as orange blossom water  — while darker ones have savory offerings like a hot sauce or truffle oil. So once the container is established in your routine, you can swiftly spin and reach for what's necessary, relying on the colors for guidance.
