Hanging measuring cups on cabinet doors can seem space-efficient but frequently causes problems. The cups clang and shift, producing annoying noise and adding cumbersome weight to doors that are opened often. Cushioning with adhesive furniture pads can reduce sound, but installing hooks and pads introduces visible hardware and bulk. More stable mounting surfaces such as walls, cabinet interiors, or the underside of shelves avoid swinging-door movement and noise. Storing measuring cups directly inside cabinets or on hanging shelves in open kitchen space keeps them accessible without compromising door function or adding unnecessary visible hardware.
Among the many ways to better organize your kitchen is one common, yet potentially flawed hack: Hanging measuring cups inside cabinet doors. The method involves installing hooks to the back of cabinet doors to keep measuring cups and spoons within easy access and eye's reach, so they don't get lost in a sea of cooking spoons, vegetable peelers, and chopsticks in the anything-goes drawer (ie. the Wild West of the kitchen).
While well-intentioned, hanging measuring cups inside a cabinet can backfire, since the cups naturally clang and move. This not only makes a lot of annoying noise, but also adds unnecessary and cumbersome heft to a door you're constantly opening and closing. If you must try out the organizational hack you can reduce noise by adding adhesive furniture pads to cushion the surface the cups bump into. However, drilling hooks and applying the adhesive pads is a lot of hardware and bulk.
