Lazy Susans, those rotating trays that are often
found on dining tables or inside cabinets, have been a staple in households for decades.
They are well-known for their convenience when it comes to serving dishes at large gatherings or
organizing kitchen essentials.
However, their potential goes far beyond the typical uses. Here are seven unique ways to make the most of your Lazy Susan. 1. Spice Organizer: When I was a kid, my mom always had a Lazy Susan in the cabinet and she used it to keep her spices organized. Placing your collection of spices on a Lazy Susan not only keeps them organized but also makes it easier to find the exact seasoning you need. You can group your spices by type or cuisine, making cooking a breeze.
2. Craft Supplies Caddy: If you're into crafting, a Lazy Susan can be your best friend. Store your paints, brushes, glue, and other supplies on a rotating tray. This allows easy access to everything without cluttering your workspace. Plus, it's a fun way to show off your colorful array of crafting materials.
3. Bathroom Toiletries Organizer: In a small bathroom, counter space is precious. Utilize a Lazy Susan with compartments to keep your toiletries organized and easily accessible. Place your skincare products, hair accessories, or even makeup on the rotating tray. You'll be amazed at how much neater your bathroom can become. 4. Tool Caddy: For those who love DIY projects, a Lazy Susan can be an excellent addition to your workshop. Keep your essential tools like screwdrivers, pliers, or paintbrushes on it. You can spin it around to access the right tool without having to search through a cluttered toolbox.
5. Kids' Art Station: Encourage your children's creativity with a Lazy Susan turned into an art station. Add items like crayons, markers, colored pencils, and stickers. Your little artists can easily spin the station to reach the supplies they need while keeping the mess contained. Here's a great Art Station Lazy Susan specifically for this purpose. 6. Coffee Station: Create a coffee-lover's dream by using a Lazy Susan to organize your coffee station. Store your coffee mugs, various coffee blends, sweeteners, and creamers on it. It not only adds a touch of elegance to your kitchen but also makes your morning coffee routine a breeze.
7. Herb Holder: Place small pots or containers with your favorite herbs on the rotating tray. This not only adds a delightful aroma to your kitchen but also helps ensure your herbs get even sunlight exposure. You can easily spin the Lazy Susan to access the herbs you need while cooking and to ensure they're all getting a sufficient amount of sunlight.
