Tea and coffee mugs are permanent presences in our kitchens and seem to multiply inexplicably out of all proportion, until they come out of the cabinets and occupy the counter or table. One does not have to be a great admirer of tea, coffee and hot beverages in general to always have a well-stocked supply in the cabinets. And you often don't quite know how to manage them to optimize space in the kitchen, making it look neater.

Whether it's simple hooks to hang on the wall or shelf, pedestal cabinets, shelves or more complex structures, there are many projects that can be made to organize our cups so that they take up as little space as possible. We suggest below 14 creative and fun projects for you to take inspiration from.

1. First of all, the coffee

 A simple wooden board with hooks to hang all your cups on, always immediately ready for use.

A series of simple white shelves stacked on top of each other are the perfect solution for those with a clean, simple, no-frills style.

3. Small shelf

 If you have a tea and coffee corner in your kitchen counter, get a small cup rack or build it yourself.

4. Corner column

 If you have a spare corner in your kitchen, why not take advantage of it with a slim corner column? Perfect for housing your cups!

5. Industrial countertop cup holder

If you love industrial style, a metal cup holder is just the thing for you. With plenty of space to display all your mugs, you can use it either standing on the counter or hanging on the wall with a hook.
