Whether you have a reach-in, pull-out, or walk-in pantry, keeping a pantry organized is not an easy feat!  Check out these tips for improving your kitchen pantry’s layout and functionality. Loaded with must-have features and time-saving ideas, you’ll wonder how you ever lived with your old pantry!

PANTRY ESSENTIALS

Your kitchen pantry is one of the hardest-working spaces in your home.  The better the design and layout, the easier it is to find everything and the fewer trips you’ll have to make to the store.

Here are some kitchen pantry design features that can bring functionality and accessibility to your pantry.

• Floor to ceiling cabinets and shelves to maximize storage space
• Deep pull-out shelves and drawers offer more space and allow ‘at a glance’ visual inventory
• Long, narrow shelving and slide-outs for small, awkward spaces
• Creative storage solutions for your pantry door
• Large and deep storage shelves and cabinets to store small appliances which reduce clutter on your kitchen counter
• Wire baskets allow air circulation increasing the shelf life for all your root vegetables

ORGANIZATION TIPS

With so many of us staying home more, cooking is at an all-time high!  Why not make cooking easier by spending some time organizing your pantry?

These tips and tricks offer intelligent solutions to help you get your pantry into tip-top shape!

• Group like items together with bins and baskets, this creates a nice shelfscape
• Attach reusable labels (or for small children pictures), to the fronts of boxes, bins, and drawers
• For enhanced visibility consider glass front doors and cabinets
• Maximize space with pocket or sliding doors
• Adjustable shelving is key because what works one day may not later on
• Light it up with recessed lighting, a hanging pendant, or motion-sensing lights
• Lazy Susans and tiered organizers make finding canned goods and spices a breeze

BEYOND THE PANTRY

Your kitchen pantry isn’t the only place that can benefit from creative storage solutions.  Could your garage, home office, and bedroom closet use a makeover?  We recommend starting in the room that gives you the most stress.  Whether it’s adding custom shoe racks, more shelving, or built in cabinetry, your space can be transformed into a truly efficient and organized space.  Creating rooms that provide smart, accessible, and easy-to-find storage can bring joy and function back to any room!
