30 GREAT PANTRY ORGANIZATION TIPS FOR CLUTTER-FREE DRAWERS, CABINETS, AND SHELVES

Utilize cooking appliances, food, spices, and storage options to their full potential in small or walk-in spaces on a budget.

Utilize Sliding Shelves to Save Cabinet Room.

Install a pull-out cabinet system to make room for more items while keeping pots and cookware close at hand. Bakes & Kropp fitted this clever arrangement using Kesseböhmer LeMans non-slip blind corner cabinets. Those annoying times of having to dig through all of your cookware to locate the right item are over.

Drawer Organization: Colored Bins

It should come as no news that stocking up on food can reduce the number of times you need to go shopping. The drawback: If you don't take the time to arrange, your drawers might fill up quickly. Consider putting 16"-deep bins with labels in the lowest drawer of your pantry. You won't have to spend as much time looking for the seasonings, sauces, and condiments you want.

Classify the drinks

Influencer Kristen Lawler's typical closet was turned into an epic drink display by California Closets. Renovate your pantry into an aesthetically pleasing alcove for your preferred drinks, just like she has done. Sort them according to style, as seen in this picture, and add motion-activated lighting to make it even more opulent.

Create a Hidden Pantry 

Designer Kate Marker ingeniously created a hidden pantry cupboard in this kitchen and selected a deep green color to make it the center of the room. To keep your coffee necessities organized, recreate the chic appearance. Space for meal preparation is provided by a Native Trails Malibu sink and a small counter area. On the inner shelves, you can put mugs, jars, cutting boards, and other items; the backs of the doors also have more storage space.

Create a New Cupboard

Spices, cans, and common snacks should be stored in acrylic organizers and storage bins for a small closet arrangement. This optimizes storage and simplifies packing lunches for school. To maintain their freshness, cereal, pasta, rice, and beans can be put in transparent receptacles. Additionally, they look nice and help you quickly determine when you need to restock.

Utilize a pull-out cabinet to reach buried items.

We both agreed that saucepan and pan pull-out cabinets are brilliant. We're now demonstrating how to improve it for cereal, seasonings, and more. This Häfele Kesseböhmer system gives you easy access to those previously hidden items in the back while enabling you to look on both sides of the cabinet for what you need.

Employ a spice rack

There is never too much spice when it comes to cookery. When they are mixed up in the drawer or cabinet and are the same hue, it is simple to mistake your favorite spice for another. Use vertical space to your benefit to prevent this. You can attach a spice rack to the inside wall of your pantry or hang one on the entrance. Your favorite seasonings will be visible all at once because everything will be upright.

Divide Cabinets Vertically

Divide and conquer! Tray dividers are simple yet effective ways to organize cutting boards, pizza pans, and baking sheets. They'll work well in base cabinets, pantry cabinets, or any deep upper cabinet spaces.

Mount a Pot Rack

Upgrade the pantry with a metal rack that's sturdy enough to hang pots and pans. This helps to free up space in your drawers and cabinets while keeping important cooking appliances all in one place. What's more, it can be the star of the kitchen!

Arrange Baskets High and Low

No matter if your pantry is out in the open or closed off in a dedicated room, leverage vertical wall space by positioning baskets on high and low shelves. Place seasonal items in the baskets up high and kid-friendly essentials down below.

Select pullout drawers.

Put pull-out wire shelves there instead of leaving the area below the shelves empty; they're ideal for storing your kids' favoured snacks and lunch items. They are also a height suitable for children!

Install Frosted Pantry Doors

Cover up the inevitable clutter by installing frosted glass doors to the closet-turned-pantry. That way, you can get a glimpse of the items tucked inside without a clear view of the mess.

Put containers with labels in the drawers

If you're using a storage unit as a pantry, fill the drawers with extra towels, tools, and containers filled with baking ingredients for quick access. Each receptacle should have a label on the top so you can easily and without digging see what's inside.

Turn Pantry Doors Into Chalkboards

Make pantry doors more functional with chalkboard paint or contact paper, so you can write down grocery lists, important reminders, and sweet notes to your family members.

Keep Baking Supplies Within Reach

Transfer common ingredients — flour, sugar, brown sugar, pasta, and so on — into large glass jars with lids, and place them on the middle shelf for easy access. On the shelf above, arrange small glass jars full of more specialized ingredients, like spices, nuts, and dried fruit.

Eliminate Jars and Cans from Racks

All the jars and cans appear the same from above. You can quickly locate what you need when you organize them in a pull-out wire shelf by categories, such as fruits, vegetables, sauces, and more

Transform a Glass Cabinet

Even if you don't have a designated pantry closet or room, you can still keep all of your non-perishable goods neat and tidy. Just stick everything in baskets and jars, and place in a glass cabinet. An added bonus: It doubles as decoration.

Assemble Baker's Racks

Make use of any spare kitchen space by adding a set of industrial wire shelves. You can soften the look with labeled baskets in natural materials.

Putting in a Sliding Barn Door

Place snacks and fixings in a tidy arrangement behind this farmhouse staple. Simply slide the doors closed when visitors arrive to hide the mess.

Label Trash and Recycling Bins

Set yourself up for success by giving every basket, container, and bin an easy-to-read, interchangeable label. The same goes for your trash and recycling bins.

Dress the Door With Shelves

Don't let any space go to waste! Store condiments, spices and other small items in a rack on the back of the door. You'll be surprised at just how many items can fit.

Paint Walls a Bright Color

Store dry goods against a colorful background to make your pantry instantly appear more orderly. Get creative with your countertops to add contrast to the now-brightened space.

Enhance Space With a Lazy Susan

Increase your available shelf space and allow for easy access to your items with a two-tiered Lazy Susan. Featuring a smooth, rotating design, you'll see all your necessities at a glance.

Use Rolling Hampers

Hampers aren't just for laundry! Use them for larger items, like reusable shopping bags, in your pantry. If you use them for food storage, add some labels.

Store Dry Goods in Glass Jars

Stock up on large and small jars for your storage needs. You can even take the jars to a local grocery store that sells bulk staples, like grains and beans, to purchase food at a lower price than its pre-packaged counterpart.

Fill Tiered Shelves

Store cans and spices on bleacher-style shelves (whether built-in or purchased) that allow you to easily see the label each item. You'll never have to worry about using salt instead of sugar!
