Easy Small Pantry Organization Tips

Keep Food Containers Secure

There are many types of food storage container options—all a range of different shapes and sizes. One way to store them, which will help condense your storage space in cupboards, will also be able to help differentiate between shapes and sizes of certain items. Categorize them by shape, and stack the bottoms into one another as they fit. Then you can store the lids vertically, next to their corresponding stack of bottoms.

Break Out Pantry Items Into Zones

If your goal is to not only condense your pantry space but also keep it organized long-term, then you need an organization system. Better Homes & Gardens recommends creating zones, so you know where to store certain items and search for them later. Try out these zones:

Stack Up

Take advantage of your space by stacking up. When your shelving space allows, you can stack products long-term—as long as they prove to be sturdy. Cans are generally a safe pantry item to stack, as well as boxes (pasta, cereal, etc.). Make sure to store your heaviest items on the bottom, with only lighter weights on top.

Look Into Pull-Out Pantry Options

Depending on just how limited your kitchen space is, a pull-out pantry may or may not be a tight fit. If your space allows, a pull-out pantry creates an efficient storage process. Usually installed close to appliances, the unique pantry gives you quick access to your items, while also proving the opportunity to hide everything away again when you are finished. They show you all the ingredients you have to work with, while traditional pantries generally have deep corners.

Get Creative

You may not find your storage solution in a kitchen closet or cupboard. And if a remodel is not in the budget, look to your open spaces to get creative. Open kitchen walls can hold a few shelves for storage. An adjacent room can host a storage cabinet for pantry items. Think outside the box for your small pantry organization!
