Pantry Organization Tips

Simple ideas that anyone can implement for a more organized and streamlined pantry space.

1. Clean it ALL out

It may seem crazy, but to really see what you have, this is the best way to do it! Get everything out + give it a good cleaning. A fresh coat of paint while you're at it will help!

2. Add lighting 

You don't need to have a hard-wired light to add light to your pantry. You can use battery operated lights - ours are motion activated and they work beautifully.

3. Use your wall space

Use every inch of the space you have! You can use hanging organizers, a mug rack (like we have) or hanging produce organizers. This will help you truly maximize your space.

4. Use clear containers

When you use clear containers, you can see what you truly have. This will make sure you can waste less food, and will help your pantry be more streamlined.

5. Create a system that works 

Each family will have a system that will work best. Create a system that works for YOU. We have excess on the top shelf since we shop in bulk. We have kids items on the bottom so they can access their foods easily.

6. Clean first, then organize

Organize only the things you truly use in your pantry. Don't waste your time and money organizing things that don't need to take up room in your home!
