I recently installed several IKEA Metod drawers and want to optimize their use by adding internal organizers. I’m interested in how to best arrange the existing organizers to maximize storage space while maintaining a clear structure for frequently used kitchen utensils. Specifically, I’m looking for advice on effective combinations of dividers, shelves, cutlery trays, or boxes to neatly and accessibly store various items like cutlery, spices, kitchen tools, and foils.

Additionally, I would appreciate recommendations for custom modifications and additions that enhance the functionality of the drawers without overcrowding them. Are there proven practical examples or methods that have worked well in real use?

To respond again to Blati’s question: It is important to really take the time to plan the interior organizers individually and not just use the standard solutions. Everyone has different items and usage habits. I know some people who, for example, have integrated magazine organizers or small plastic boxes as additional dividers. Sometimes it also helps to test the organization in practice for several weeks and then make small adjustments. Especially with Metod, the variety is large, so you can reorganize relatively flexibly if there are any issues.

Optimal are fixed and flexible dividers that can be easily adjusted.

I fully agree, this flexibility makes the difference.
