Looking for ideas to create a small pantry organization system in your house? Space is precious, and when areas such as your kitchen are limited it can be a tricky task to maximize storage. Don’t worry – Storage Depot has you covered! Here’s some creative yet practical advice on how to make the most of these smaller spaces.
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
Stop worrying about the lack of storage space in your kitchen and start looking around for untapped areas! Perhaps you could install a cabinet above the sink or add an island to maximize available countertops. Outside of the kitchen, consider utilizing a hallway between it and other rooms with extra-large cabinets that can hold all sorts of items without obstructing movement. Don’t let unused space go wasted—unlock its potential by transforming it into vital storage solutions today!
Install a Pull-Out Pantry
If you’re looking for a convenient storage solution, try out the space-saving pull-out pantry. Just slide open the door and instantly survey all your items at once – sure to make meal preparation simpler. Plus, when you finish cooking up something delicious, everything can be quickly tucked away without having to worry about any mess or clutter in your kitchen!
Learn to Organize Your Food Storage Containers
For a safer and more efficient way to organize your extra Tupperware and Pyrex, stack the containers’ bottoms upon one another, while leaving the lids standing vertical. However, be mindful not to place them too high in cabinets; this could cause unnecessary injuries due to potential falls – store them at eye level or lower for maximum safety!
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:
- Cans
- Pasta/Grains
- Bread/Rolls
- Breakfast Food
- Snacks
- Spices
- Bottles/Beverages
Stack Whenever Possible
Don’t let limited pantry space discourage you! Strategically organizing your items can maximize the area without compromising their quality. Think through which products, such as cans and boxes, may be stacked safely over time.
