Use the organization concept of a pantry to create space on the shelves and easily identify which items are running low on quantity.
organizing and organizing
If the kitchen is the center of the home, then the pantry is the center of the kitchen. When your pantry is organized, everything that happens in your kitchen becomes easier. You can get the supplies you need faster and know exactly what you need to repurchase. There are many different types of ways to maximize your pantry space, regardless of its size: baskets, bins, drawers, containers, and more. Take a look at our favorite pantry organizers to design your ideal pantry.
Pegboard
A pegboard (which you can buy from The Container Store) has long been a popular storage option in kitchens. It’s also great in the pantry—use it to cover an empty wall to collect pots, pans, colanders, and other utensils to free up space on the shelves for other goods. If you have the supplies on hand, you can up the look and paint it to match your kitchen decor.
Mason Jars
Mason jars are a practical and beautiful way to help organize foodstuffs. They come in sizes appropriate for everything from pasta to dried herbs. Use them to store your snacks, beans, rice, and pretty much everything else. You’ll be able to see exactly what you have, and the display of colors and textures will be pleasing to the eye. Pick up a 12-pack case from Target.
Baskets
Baskets, like these from The Container Store, are a go-to storage solution for just about anywhere in the house. In the pantry, they are a great way to keep small items organized. Stash all your teas into one, seasoning envelopes into another. Loose bags of snacks start to get jumbled in a pantry by the time they are halfway gone, but gathered together in a basket, they stay neat and easily accessible.
Wall-Mounted Spice Rack
Small jars, like the ones used for herbs and spices, are difficult to store in a pantry without wasting a lot of valuable space. Mount a sheet of stainless steel to the wall and glue magnets to the lids of small jars that you can fill from larger containers and then label (his set from Amazon includes magnetic tins and labels.). The jars’ uniformity and ease of organization makes a pretty display and brings calm to the chaos.
