Pantry Envy: Organising Your Kitchen Like a Pro

A well-organised pantry can be the key to a functional and efficient kitchen.

Whether you're a gourmet chef or a busy parent, having a beautifully organised pantry can make meal prep easier and more enjoyable.

Here are some tips to help you create a pantry that will inspire envy and keep your kitchen running smoothly.

1. Start with a Clean Slate

Before you begin organising, take everything out of your pantry. This allows you to assess what you have, discard expired items, and wipe down shelves. A clean, empty pantry is the perfect canvas for your organisational masterpiece.

2. Categorise Your Items

Grouping similar items together is a fundamental step in pantry organisation. Create categories like baking supplies, canned goods, snacks, grains, and spices. Use clear bins or baskets to keep these groups together. Label each container to make it easy to find what you need at a glance.

3. Use Clear Containers

Transferring dry goods into clear, airtight containers not only keeps your food fresh but also makes it easy to see what you have. Clear containers help you avoid overbuying and wasting food. Stackable containers maximise vertical space and keep your pantry looking neat and uniform.

4. Install Adjustable Shelving

Adjustable shelving allows you to customise your pantry to fit your needs. You can change the height of the shelves to accommodate items of different sizes, ensuring that no space is wasted. This flexibility is especially useful for storing tall bottles, large cereal boxes, or small spice jars.

5. Utilise Door Space

The back of your pantry door is prime real estate for additional storage. Install a door-mounted rack or hooks to hold spices, small jars, or even cleaning supplies. This extra space can help keep your shelves less cluttered and more organised.

6. Incorporate Lazy Susans

Lazy Susans are perfect for making the most of deep or corner shelves. They allow you to easily access items that might otherwise get lost in the back. Use them for spices, oils, and condiments to keep everything within reach.

7. Label Everything

Labels are essential for maintaining an organised pantry. They help everyone in your household know where items belong, making it easier to keep things tidy. Use a label maker or decorative chalkboard labels for a polished look. Label shelves, bins, and containers for maximum clarity.

8. Store Items by Frequency of Use

Place frequently used items at eye level and within easy reach. Less frequently used items, such as specialty baking tools or bulk supplies, can be stored on higher or lower shelves. This arrangement ensures that you can quickly grab what you need without digging through the entire pantry.

9. Invest in Stackable Bins and Baskets

Stackable bins and baskets are great for grouping similar items and making the most of vertical space. Use them to store snacks, produce, or baking supplies. Clear bins allow you to see what's inside, while wire baskets provide ventilation for items like potatoes and onions.

10. Create a Snack Zone

Designate a specific area for snacks, making it easy for everyone in the family to find and grab a quick bite. Use bins or baskets to store chips, granola bars, and other snacks. This not only keeps your pantry organised but also makes snack time more convenient.
