Maximising the MAXIMERA kitchen drawer

I did a hack to add a second level of storage in the IKEA Maximera kitchen drawer.

IKEA items used: MAXIMERA + SMÄCKER

After move to new apartment I found myself in situation where the kitchen is smaller than previous. Lot of tools were stored in a mess. I looked carefully at what else I can do by examining the kitchen drawers. I found that the MAXIMERA kitchen drawers have lots of unused space under the bars. (The bars are great for drawer dividers and stacking vertically but they weren’t right for me). So I decided to use one more level that slides on the bars.

Before: Kitchen drawer with one level of SMÄCKER flatware tray

After: Kitchen drawer with two levels of SMÄCKER flatware tray

Initially I use just 2 wires but recently replaced with 3D printed plastic holders. They are better at holding the cutlery tray and sliding on bars.

If you’re using the Maximera drawer dividers to separate out heavy pots and pans, the friction pads may not be strong enough. Here’s how to reinforce them.

If you have existing face frame kitchen cabinets and wish to add drawers to them, here’s the tutorial for you.

You can also add Maximera drawers under the cooktop.
