Easy  Tips for Small Pantry Organization

Whether you want to completely remodel your pantry or make better use of the small pantry space you already have, there are plenty of ways you can organize this essential part of your kitchen. 

Consider Every Open Space as a Storage Alternative

If you’re looking for additional storage solutions in the kitchen, why not make use of empty wall space beneath or above the sink? An alternative could be investing in a new kitchen island with drawers, shelves and cupboards to store all your items. Furthermore, don’t forget that there can often be plenty of room between two rooms – such as a hallway: you may find that larger cabinets or even full-fledged storage systems fit perfectly here too! With this thoughtful solution at hand, accessing everything will always remain effortless.

Install a Pull-Out Pantry

Transform your kitchen into a sparkling clean space with the pull-out pantry system! With this convenient storage solution, you will have all of your cooking essentials within arm’s reach. After savoring that delicious home-cooked meal, keep everything in order and bask in the peacefulness of an organized kitchen.

Learn to Organize Your Food Storage Containers 

To maximize the organization of your Tupperware and Pyrex collection, fit them in a vertical stack with lids organized next to them so their different colors and shapes are visible. However, refrain from stacking too high as it presents a dangerous risk of falling and causing harm; rather, keep them within eye level or lower for optimal safety. In addition, consider incorporating storage solutions like pull-out racks or drawer dividers within your pantry, so you can more quickly identify specific containers and lids.

Group Your Pantry Items 

The first rule of organization is generally grouping like items together. Once you have figured out the layout of your pantry, consider these categories for easy-to-find storage: 

Stack Whenever Possible

Don’t fret if you have a small pantry – be resourceful with the space that you do have! Think about how to pair cans, boxes, and other consumables together for extended stewardship. By thinking outside of the box (or can!), you will find yourself able to store even more items without worryingly risking harm or damage to your foodstuffs.
