Tips for Small Pantry Organization
The pantry is an essential part of any kitchen, but it’s even more important in kitchens with limited space. Without proper organization, your food storage system could end up chaotic, leaving you with a headache. Here are some space-saving ideas, whether you’re looking for organization or just for some new inspiration on how things can operate better inside that small pantry.
Get Creative With Your Open Spaces
When you have a small pantry, the best way to maximize space is by using open and empty spaces in your house. Do you have an empty wall above your kitchen sink? Consider installing floating shelves so that they can be used as stylish storage for dishes or other items, while still being functional! Is the space on top of your refrigerator currently collecting dust? Get some trendy storage containers and put it to good use! You can even add a cabinet near the kitchen to store those lesser used items nearby.
Install a Pull-Out Pantry
If you are looking for a clever way to store your kitchen gadgets, consider installing an efficient pull-out pantry. You’ll be able see each item as it slides out from its hiding place, and can tuck away everything at the end of prepping meals without having any unnecessary clutter in sight!
Food Storage Container Organization Tips
We have good news – you don’t need to be a math genius or an organization guru to get all your Pyrex and Tupperware containers under control. All you really need is a good stacking system! Insert the bottoms into one another while storing the lids vertically. Keep these containers stored at eye level so they’re easier to organize, and you don’t fall victim to an avalanche of plastic containers tumbling on your head.
Pantry Zoning
Grouping your pantry items into zones can make them easier to find and use. Here are some examples of how you might group things in a typical kitchen cabinet:
- Canned Goods
- Pasta/Grains
- Breakfast Foods
- Bottles/Beverages
