How to Hang Coffee Mugs Under a Cabinet

Mugs are collectible items that individuals always seem to have several of. You often receive mugs as presents, and if you are a coffee lover, you can’t stop buying when you see one in a store, all of which adds to a significant collection. But, since mugs often reflect who you are and what you find attractive and intriguing, why not exhibit them in your home? Hanging a mug under a cabinet, for whatever purpose, is a simple storage option for the kitchen.

Are your mugs overflowing from the cabinet? Don’t restrict yourself to cabinets and try hanging mugs in the kitchen. Here’s how to hang coffee mugs under a cabinet. It doesn’t even need you to be a “handy” person.

Tools needed: 

  • Pencil
  • Cup Hooks
  • Measuring Tape
  • Drill and Drill Bits

Determine the cabinet’s center point

To identify the center point, measure the bottom of the cabinet. With a pencil, draw the center point.

  1. Measure the distance from the front edge

Next, calculate how much the cup hooks should be offset from the cabinet front edge.

  1. Draw a point from the middle in equal increments

Draw additional points along the cabinet after the center point has been marked and the offset has been determined. Separate the cups at equal intervals.

  1. Drill holes in the cabinet

Drill pilot holes once you’ve indicated all of the spots in pencil. Keep in mind that you should utilize a drill bit less than the cup hook’s screw diameter.

  1. Install cup hooks in cabinet

Fasten the cup hooks in after drilling the pilot holes. Adjust the cup hooks facing the same way to put the mugs in the same arrangement.

How do you put coffee mugs in a cabinet

You’re not alone if your cabinets are overflowing with mugs. Something about those warm cups makes them seem both collectible and vital. Unfortunately, coffee mugs take up lots of space, making your storage areas seem crowded and crammed.

So, here’s how you place your mugs on your cabinet:

  1. Make use of vertical space

You may not have much space for cabinets; however, you can fit some mug collection in if you can free a few inches of vertical space (perhaps on the side of a cupboard).

  1. Stack mugs on a cabinet

Having a tiny hanging cabinet is another approach to using vertical space. You can save extra space while keeping all of your mugs and materials in one place. This one may benefit from a few more mugs and fewer plants.

  1. Place hooks under a cabinet

This is an easy way to display a chosen handful of your favorite ornamental mugs, like hanging mugs from a wall. Simply attach hooks to the bottom of your cabinets and hang your mugs to obtain a beautiful appearance.

💡 Sandstone, soda ash, and sand are the three most common materials used to make glass coffee mugs.

  1. Install a pegboard

Inside your cabinet, you may construct a unique pegboard to keep all your mugs if you’re feeling extra creative. Apply painter’s tape and spray paint to decorate your pegboard in whatever way you choose, then hang your mugs with hooks after it’s dry. Furthermore, you may arrange your mugs in various ways on a pegboard—perhaps even make a tale about your adventures or travels—until you discover a design that suits you. 

  1. Add a utensil bar under your cabinet

Add a utensil bar, and dangle your favorite mugs from the hooks. This relatively straightforward solution works great if you have a small selection of mugs you want to show off.

💡 Archaeologists discovered the oldest mugs during the Neolithic Stone Age, around 10,000 years ago. These drinking vessels, which were found in China and Japan, were strong but lacked handles. Over time, bone and wood gave way to pottery, and handles appeared.

Can you hang mugs with command hooks

There is a simple approach to rearranging your kitchen, but it does not entail getting rid of your beloved mugs. It’s a command hook that keeps your mugs secure without taking up valuable cabinet shelf space. Also, you may put it inside or under your cabinets to preserve your things out of sight or leave them out in the open for quick access.

Furthermore, you may use hooks to keep your mugs organized. Place it on the hooks, so you don’t forget to take one with you when you go. Whatever you plan to do with them, the command hooks might be the key to rapidly saving space and organizing your kitchen.
