We love organizing pantries! An organized pantry is a total game-changer for every family. We have a wealth of experience organizing all kinds of pantries for all types of families, and today we’re sharing some of our absolute favorite products to help you get started.
1. Maximize Space with Stacking Bins
We highly recommend using clear, stacking acrylic bins. Because they are clear, it is easy to see exactly what is inside so you don’t purchase duplicates and know exactly when it’s time to add items to your grocery list.
We love acrylic containers rather than glass for families with kids of any age. Acrylic is much lighter and less likely to break if it gets pushed off a shelf when little hands grab their snacks! Stack them to make the best use of your vertical shelf space.
2. Organize Deep Drawers with Dividers
Drawer storage is a popular option in modern kitchens, but it can quickly become a “junk drawer” for food. Keep your drawers organized with adjustable dividers! These are great for separating food categories, linens, or even Tupperware. They are available in various depths and finishes, like bamboo or clear plastic, to match your cabinetry.
3. Use Large Baskets for Back-Stock
For larger items and back-stock, such as sodas, water bottles, paper products, and even rarely used appliances, large woven baskets are the perfect storage solution! They allow you to keep everything organized and off the floor. Plus, they add a beautiful, high-end texture to your pantry shelves.
4. The Finishing Touch: Labels
Every bin and basket needs a label! Labels make it easy for everyone to know exactly what goes where when unloading the groceries. No excuses for the kids not helping Mom now! Many options are available, including metal bin clips, pre-made stickers, and custom vinyl. We even offer several custom label options to match your personal style!
