'I was tired of a landslide on my countertop every time I prepped dinner' – this hidden $16 organizer is a must for small kitchens

Even in the most organized of kitchens, chopping boards tend to pose a problem when it comes to storage. Whether you stack them in a pile, against your backsplash, leave them out, or stash them away in a cabinet, they're often inaccessible or untidy.

That was until the Joseph Joseph DoorStore Chop Cutting Board Set with Storage Case available at Amazon caught our eye, and it comes approved by our e-commerce content director, too, who doesn't waste her money. EVER.

Here's why we're loving this genius product, and now firmly believe that chopping boards are things you shouldn't keep on kitchen countertops.

This chopping board organizer is a must for small kitchens

Even if you're clued up on how to clean and care for cutting boards, storing them can be a whole different story. Indeed, it was for Lindsey Davis, our e-commerce content director here at Homes & Gardens.

She says, 'I used to stack them all behind a pestle and mortar, but with limited space it was a bit like a game of Jenga crossed with Tetris every time I needed one. I was tired of a landslide on my countertop every time I prepped dinner,' she says.

Sound familiar?

It was the Joseph Joseph DoorStore Chop Cutting Board Set with Storage Case available at Amazon which solved this problem for Lindsey for good, which cleverly affixes to your cabinet doors to keep them hidden from view, with no tools needed for the installation – ideal if you need to brush up on your DIY tips or don't feel confident with a screwdriver.

They're also knife-friendly with non-slip feet, and ideal for mounting in even the most narrow of cabinets as a hidden storage idea that won't budge.

'They've been tucked in my cupboard for two years now, leaving my counters almost empty,' continues Lindsey. '$16 for two chopping boards alone isn't bad either.'

Lindsey's not the only lover of this great offer and inventive design, either. Punteha van Terheyden, head of Solved here at Homes & Gardens, says, 'I already use the adhesive Joseph Joseph Cupboard Store Pot and Pan Lid Holders available at Amazon, and I love how strongly they stick on the inside of my cabinet door, and free up vital space elsewhere.

'Storing your chopping boards vertically inside your cabinet, or on the wall, is a smart move to make the most of your countertops, especially if you have a compact kitchen.

'I'm constantly moving my board around, so this has gone straight in my basket. Space-saving ways to use vertical storage in small spaces are the key to maximising the areas you do have, and this will definitely help.'

We recommend hurrying while stocks last as the Amazon Prime Day Sale ends tonight – your countertops and cabinets will thank you!
