If you are a passionate mug collector, or have a big family or just want to organize a coffee station at home, you may find this roundup useful as we’ve prepared the coolest, smartest and most stylish ways to store and organize your mugs. Get inspired!
Shelves And Ledges
Open shelves are the most popular solution for mugs, and that’s not surprising: they save the space as they are wall-mounted, they are easy to install and they can be removed easily, too. There are many designs and you can make them by yourself to match the kitchen perfectly. There can be basic open shelves and even creative configurations that will add to the style of the space. Such shelves are durable and can hold enough weight, so you can store as many mugs as you want, and if they aren’t too many or too heavy, you can opt for ledges. Ledges are even more lightweight, they are easily adjustable and will match many styles.

Your mugs will become part of decor and somehow piece of art. This box shelf can be created by you yourself, so you can easily adjust it according to the space where you hang it.

Railings And Racks
Railings are a very smart and quick fix if you don’t have space and can’t use the walls as they can be attached to a cabinet. Add hooks and voila, a lot of mugs can be stored! Metal racks with hooks can be attached to the walls, they are very durable and can accommodate a lot without distracting attention from your beautiful porcelain. If you want to highlight some of your favorite mugs, you can add a small and stylish stand for just a couple of them to the coffee station. Enjoy!
