Are you looking for simple & easy pantry organization ideas?
Pinterest is full of gorgeous, well organized pantry photos that we all wish we could have. The truth is, it really isn’t that difficult to achieve at home!
A pretty “real life” pantry can be attainable and realistic. Consider trying a few simple and easy organization tips to help get your pantry in order. Once it looks beautifully organized, chances are you will be more inclined to keep it that way!
Below are few of my favourite ways to keep things organized without getting too carried away. Keep reading if you want to find out what they are 🙂
Containers
The EASIEST and FASTEST way to achieve organization in an area that houses a lot of items such as a pantry, is to invest in some storage containers.
Bins, baskets, containers, metal racks, jars… you name it! They all work wonders! The better your pantry functions, the easier your life will be 🙂
Drawers
Drawers are honestly the BEST kitchen organization hack out there!
They create more usable space which allows you to fully view and properly access all of the items that you need to store. For example, if you open your pantry, you most likely only utilize the space at the front of the shelves that you can see the clearest. You probably have no idea what is actually stored at the back of the shelves… am I right?? Thought so 😉 Drawers give you way more storage without any wasted space!
If you need more usable space, then I definitely recommend considering installing drawers or pull out cabinetry in your pantry or kitchen space.
Place Similar Ingredients Together
Pantry organization does not have to be complicated and take forever to achieve. Try placing similar ingredients close together so that they are easy to find. That way you will always know exactly what items you have in your pantry.
It is also a good idea to place items that you frequently reach for at eye level and items that are rarely used on the top shelves. I also like to place heavy or bulky items, such as kitchen appliances near the bottom so they are easy and safe to reach.
Add Labels
Something that I find very helpful when it comes to organizing a pantry, is to utilize labels.
Once you have everything organized into containers, baskets or jars, the next step is labeling everything. This truly makes each ingredient stand out so that you know exactly what you have on hand.
Get Creative with Storage
With charcuterie and cheese boards being so popular lately, we end up with all of these platters and boards that we aren’t quite sure where to store. Do they get stuffed into a cupboard, placed on the counter or shoved into the back of the pantry?
Consider getting creative when it comes to organizing how you store these items. My favourite and in my opinion, most effective way to store pretty platters and boards is to display them! Hang them inside your pantry so you can easily access them. This is not only a pretty way to display your platters and boards, but it also keeps them protected and your space will stay neat and tidy!
I hope you found these simple & easy pantry organization ideas helpful and inspiring!
