Gather complete groups
Lay out the ordinary supplies with their accessories, packaging and reusable pieces. This exposes the storage shapes hidden when you measure only the main container. An unusually long accessory may determine the best drawer orientation.
Keep identity clear
If an accessory belongs to a particular product, retain an obvious relationship between them. A neighboring labeled section may work better than forcing both into a container that makes retrieval awkward.
Check usable openings
Measure the full cabinet or drawer opening and the hand movement needed to remove the group. A tall narrow holder can contain long pieces while still failing to fit the intended shelf.
Avoid unnecessary consolidation
Related objects can live in adjacent suitable locations. The point is finding the complete set easily, not requiring every component to occupy one decorative bin regardless of shape or intended storage requirements.
Illustrative scenario: a main container stands on an accessible shelf while its long accessory occupies a nearby drawer strip. The locations remain linked without leaving the accessory across the countertop.
