Don't know how or where to store your cups and mugs? Be inspired by these 15 brilliant ideas
Coffee, tea, infusions and milk: each of us loves to sip on at least one of these beverages. Whether it is for breakfast, lunch, dinner or in the afternoon, "having a cuppa" is a nice habit many of us use to pamper ourselves and relax. And obviously you need cups/mugs to hand to do so. But where can we store cups/mugs when we have a lot of them?
There are plenty of ideas for efficiently storing lots of cups and mugs, whether large or small. Let's check out 15 ideas that can help us achieve this goal:
1. Classic hanging rack
Wood and wrought iron are two elements that go together perfectly and can be used around any furnishing style. Simple and linear, they are ideal for a cup/mug hanging rack that can hold a significant number.
2. Shelves and hooks
Natural, simple and very chic, this solution fits perfectly into a country-styled kitchen. The convenience of the hooks and the shelf above them will make this accessory extremely useful.
3. A cup/mug painting
Minimalist and elegant: these two adjectives perfectly describe this solution for arranging our mugs/cups. It can be used in the kitchen or in an open space. It's ease of use and versitility make this solution simply fantastic!
4. A tree of cups/mugs
Wow! It seems almost impossible that we could find a tree that could be used like this. Of course, not a real one, and is secured to the wall and has "invisible" hooks to hang our cups/mugs from. Is not just fantastic?
5. Which one should I use today?
Here's an entire wall of mugs to choose from. This layout could even be used for those who collect mugs/cups (for example, ones bought as souvenirs of our holidays and adventures abroad).
6. "Look at what I found"
It looks like this cute octopus has just found these mugs and is showing them off. This truly original object will definitely attract looks, that's for sure.
7. Geometric games

Simple wooden boards with hooks can be used to create unique wall decorations. We could choose to place them next to each other, or mount them staggered (or in some other geometric pattern). In short, let your imagination run wild.
8. Countertop cup holder
This is a very nice object to have at home and reminds one of an amusement park, don't you think? In this case, the carousel can not only hold the cups, but also their matching saucers, the tea bags and more.
9. The tree of wonders
Yes, nature is spectacular and can also provide us with valuable resources. Just look at how a single branch (or piece of driftwood) can be used as a cup/mug holder: a truly unique object.
10. Minimalism
Nothing eccentric or too flashy, but minimalist and functional: these cup holder triangles, mounted to the kitchen wall, will give not only be unique, but will add color. Much will depend on the choice/colors of the cups/mugs you chose to hang up.
11. Let's recycle
A cup/mug holder can easily be made with a few wooden planks, some paint and glue and some hooks. What do you think, will you try making one?
12. An old drawer
Old bits and pieces of furniture - especially vintage items - can be recycled (in whole or in part) rather than just thrown away. Here, an old drawer from an antique piece of furniture has been transformed into a cup/mug holder.
13. Cups, cups, and even more cups
We may have so many cups/mugs that things might risk getting out of hand: but this can't happen if we have an object like the one shown to hang all our cups/mugs on. It's a little chaotic-looking, sure, but it does the job.
14. A home for all
Simple and linear, this board with a roof is the perfect "home" for storing cups/mugs: a lovely "tea house", one might say.
15. Contrast between white and wood
The contrast between the two colors creates a very elegant look. The Tea & Coffee labels really give that extra touch that finishes this cup/mug holder off beautifully.
So, given all these wonderful examples, which cup/mug holder will you choose from these 15 models?
