Stand Mixer Storage Ideas

Get ready for some really fun stand mixer storage ideas. Who says organizing needs to be boring, with little inspiration leaving you with all or nothing? Not today, my job is to help you find a new approach to organizing the tools you use in your kitchen so you enjoy baking, cooking, and preparing amazing things to eat.

Another great tool to have in your pantry organization toolbox, getting you one step closer to a streamlined home.

If you’re lucky enough to have a kitchen stand mixer, then you know how much of a lifesaver it can be when baking. But if you’re not careful, those mixers can quickly become a countertop clutter source.

When I had my first kitchen, I thought all of my gadgets needed to be out almost as if on display.

I thought I needed everything to be out where I could get to them quickly, and yes, for some items, the counter is a great place to keep them.

Kitchen Gadgets that can stay out on your counter.

When deciding on what appliances to keep out on your counters, think of things you often use, such as daily or more.

  • Coffee maker
  • Toaster

Kitchen Gadgets that you may want to store away:

On the other hand, there are many appliances you should store away. This will help you free up more counter space, giving you a kitchen with plenty of room to cook, bake, or work on food projects such as canning or soap making.

  • Instant Pot
  • Crock Pot
  • Stand Mixer
  • Air Fryer
  • Indoor Grill

Just because you own it doesn’t mean it needs to be out, and this is a great rule to remember.

If you don’t use it every day, find it a home and put it away.

Stand Mixer Storage Ideas

When you are looking to find a good location to house your stand mixer, there are a few things you will want to consider.

First, ask yourself, how often do you use it?

If you find yourself mixing things up daily, look for a storage spot that is nearby. Let’s face it, those mixers are anything but light, so struggling to move a heavy and awkward 20-pound mixer every other day may not be the best solution for you.

If, however, you only use your mixer every few weeks or longer, then you will do better storing your mixer away and, in turn, free up counter space.

Storage Idea #1. Out where you use it.

If you use your mixer several times a week and have extra counter space available, you can store your mixer close to where you use it.

Use these base rollers or this pull-out tray to bring it out more easily when needed.

Want to style up your mixer to match your personality a bit? You can opt for a pretty bowl or mixer cover that matches your decor.

Storage Idea #2. Close by.

If you’re tight on counter space, you can store your stand mixer on a pull-out shelf in a cabinet. This is a great way to not only store your mixer but create a workspace as well. This way, it’ll be out of the way but still easily accessible when you need it.

Storage Idea #3. Rolling cart.

If you have a lot of small kitchen appliances, consider storing them all in one place on a rolling appliance cart. This way, you can keep your mixer out of the way when you’re not using it, but easily roll it out when you need it.

Storage Idea #4. Garage it.

If you have a lot of cabinet space, consider storing your mixer in a dedicated appliance garage. This way, it’ll be out of sight but still within reach when you need it.

Storage Idea #5. Out of the way.

If you only use your mixer monthly then you may opt for a truly hidden storage solution such as a kitchen pantry or closet. This way, it’ll be out of sight and out of mind until you need it.

You may still want to use a cart so you can easily wheel it out without the risk of hurting your back.

How do you store mixer accessories?

Now that we have a storage spot for your stand mixer let’s talk about where to store the many amazing accessories that come with it.

Tip #1. In a Bag

Store in a mesh bag and hang near the mixer. You can install a command hook inside of a cabinet, on the wall in your pantry, or on the handle of your storage cart.

Another great perk of this type of bag is the mesh will help keep the air flowing so you do not have to worry about damp items getting damaged.

Tip #2. On a Hook

If you have just a few stand mixer attachments you can use individual hooks to hang them on. Again your goal is to keep things close together so you always know where they are.

This means you can have hooks in a cabinet, pantry, or another storage area.

Attachments that can hang on a hook:

Tip #3. Out of the Box

I just love this under the cabinet storage option. If you are not a fan of having them out in the open you can store them in a cabinet with these amazing attachments.

Tip #4. In a Basket (or two)

I love baskets because they work for just about anything you are looking to organize. A plastic basket will work great to hold all the attachments you have.

If you have many attachments, you can invest in a deep basket to ensure there is enough space for everything.

Where you keep the basket will depend on where you use your stand mixer. I suggest keeping it in a drawer near your work area, which will work well if you use your mixer quite often. If not, you can keep the basket where you store your mixer so everything you need is all in one place.

Attachments that can store in a basket:

Tip #5. Use Magnets

I think magnets tend to get overlooked as storage solutions which is a shame because they work amazingly well in so many different areas.

For your accessories, you can use a magnetic strip near where you keep your stand mixer and hang up the attachments you use most often.

Tip #6. Custom Stand

If you want a more set solution then a customized stand may be more your style. This is a great option, especially if you use your mixture often.

Tip #7. In the bowl

If you prefer easy, then you can keep your attachments right inside of the mixing bowl on the stand. This is how I have stored my own attachments for many years. Why? Because it’s easy and it works great.

I never find myself searching for my needing arm because it’s right in the bowl. Easy is my go-to style when organizing.

Finally, use this convenient chord organizer to keep the chord out of the way.

Now that you know some different storage options for your stand mixer, it’s time to get organized!

Pick a spot that works for you and your kitchen, and start keeping your mixer and attachments tidy and out of the way. Your stand mixer is a valuable kitchen tool – make sure it’s stored in a way that keeps it safe and easy
