Below-sink cabinets, especially in the kitchen, are notorious for being dumping grounds for cleaning supplies, detergent bottles, boxes, and other various household goods. The problem comes when you need that bottle of detergent that’s all the way in the back of the cabinet. With a simple turntable or Lazy Susan, you’ll never have that issue again.

If you have a particularly large cabinet under the sink, you can use more than one Lazy Susan and put one on either side. This way, you can put an end to the days where you get on your hands and knees and reach way back into the cabinet to get that box of freezer bags that you tossed in the back. As long as everything you regularly use is on the turntable, just rotate it until you can get to what you need.
Over at Apartment Therapy, they found a large, 21-inch plastic turntable that’s big enough to fit under a sink without wasting too much space on the sides. It’s also rated for up to 150lbs, as long as everything’s distributed across the top, making it perfect for heavy bottles of detergent and boxes of aluminium foil. You can also do the same thing with bathroom sinks, or as we’ve mentioned before, use it as a way to easily reach the back of your computer.
