Capitalizing on the small space under the sink is important if you want to keep your countertops clear. Our favorite under sink storage is the Madesmart 2-tier organizer. This option is perfect for those who like to label their storage spaces due to the blank spots on the front of the baskets. Plus, the sliding dividers (with label-friendly tabs) provide more compartments to keep everything in its place. 

If you don’t want shelves to either side of the pipe and prefer one unit, consider the SimpleHouseware expandable shelf organizer. The modular shelves will allow you to adjust to any pipe configuration without sacrificing the middle area under them. It also comes in three colors that are sure to match almost any kitchen or bath.
