Are you overwhelmed by the chaos in your pantry? You’re not alone. Because of constant use, it can be hard to keep this area of the home organized. At Christina’s Complete Clean, we’ve helped transform kitchen pantries in Carmel area homes into organized havens. Here are our top three tips from our home organization pros on how to keep your pantry in order.
1. Group Items Logically
If you don’t know where to start organizing your pantry, we recommend sorting your items into logical groups.
Organize Food by Type
Organize your pantry like a grocery store by grouping similar items together. Have designated areas for breakfast items, canned goods, snacks, and condiments. This makes it easier to find what you need and monitor your inventory.
Label Everything
Labeling bins, jars, and containers is a game-changer. Labels help everyone in the household find what they need quickly and make it simple to return items to their proper place. You’ll be surprised at how much faster you can cook when you know where everything is.
2. Invest in Useful Containers
Using the right container for each type of food makes it more accessible, which can mean less clutter. Here are a few examples:
Clear Containers for Dry Goods
Clear containers for your dry goods let you easily see when you’re running low on essentials like rice, pasta, or cereal. Not only do these containers help keep food fresh, but they also make your pantry look streamlined and neat.
Mesh Drawers for Produce
Mesh drawers are perfect for storing fresh produce like onions and potatoes. These breathable containers help keep your fruits and vegetables fresh longer and make it easy to see what you have on hand.
3. Be Creative with the Space
You’d be surprised at how much space can be wasted because of how a pantry is designed. There are some easy ways you can be creative with the space you have:
Optimize Door Space
Use the back of your pantry door for extra storage by adding racks for condiments, spices, or cleaning supplies. This often-overlooked space can be a goldmine for keeping small items organized.
Lazy Susans for Corner Shelves
Make the most of awkward corner spaces by using lazy Susans. These rotating trays allow you to see and access items easily without digging through piles of products.
By implementing these simple yet effective kitchen pantry organization tips, you’ll enjoy a clutter-free and efficient pantry space.
