I’ve downsized to 3 lids: a small one, a medium one and a fits all biggie. Stored upright on side of pot cabinet and always at hand. Less clutter too.

I’ll see if I can explain the process so it’s easier to understand…

For deep drawers:

Insert the rods so they position from front to back. Then stack the lids in between each rod. If you put two rods inside a drawer, you will have three spaces for standing up lids.

For skinny cabinets:

Insert the rods so they run top to bottom inside the cabinets. Then slide cookie sheets between the rods. The rods will help the sheets to stand up and stay somewhat separated from each other. If you stand two rods up and down inside the cupboard, you’ll have three spaces to organize your cookie sheets.

Does that help or make things easier to understand?

Sorry, no pics were sent in with the tip and I don’t have this to upload. If anyone has a pic, feel free to link to one in the comments.

I have NO IDEA how this tension rod idea should look. I’m thinking — put two or three tension rods horizontally along the back of the cabinet and put the lids in there?????????????? Please attach a pic please, for the imaginary impaired.

I use those tension spring curtain rods as well to organize cookie trays and cutting boards under the sink. I used three in a row stuck between the bottom and top of the cabinet, and they form a nice divider that keeps the flat objects from sliding all over into the cleaning stuff.

I’m kind of confused on how this works, is there a picture someone could take of them using this method?

I hang a plastic basket (7 x 6 x 5) on a nail driven into the wall. I flop the plastic lids into the basket as I stack the containers on the shelf next to it.
