Less wrapping and fewer clinks
My husband put together a set of cubbyholes for our mugs.
When in the van, we drive every day and so we are constantly wrapping or unwrapping things or listening to the clinking.
We wanted something that was light, wouldn't absorb moisture and fit the mugs exactly so they wouldn't move around.
This plastic is left over from building a cold frame. We think it is called coroplast.
The back of the box is slanted like the back of our cupboard. The centre shelf was notched like a wine box insert. It was held together with ledges and slim nails into the plastic channels. Then it was all hot glued.
If my photo uploads successfully, you will see it sitting in the middle of an empty shelf. The plan was to put it in the corner but then I realized I can put other things that clink (eg. coffee pot), on either side of it and not have to wrap them. There is room in front of the box for a loaf of bread and I can still grab my coffee mug! Without all of the wrapping the cupboard seems more spacious.
Travelling in such a small space it is great to get rid of small daily annoyances.
In case you wondered, two ceramic coffee mugs, two mugs for milk etc as glasses were too tippy in a small space and two beer glasses.
