Pantry organization can look very different in different homes. Some of us love to decant, others like the basket look for containment, there are bins and baskets of all different sizes shapes and forms and at many different price points that you can choose. A couple of the main questions to ask yourself before you decide to change up your system.
do you want to shop and then spend time decanting?
do you prefer clear containers with labels?
will you be able to keep up with the system?
No matter which way you choose make sure you can keep up with the system or the clutter will sneak back in.
A well-organized pantry can make a huge difference in the functionality and efficiency of your kitchen. Here are a few additional tips to consider when organizing your pantry:
Group similar items together, such as baking supplies, snacks, and canned goods.
Consider installing shelving or organizers to maximize vertical space.
Use a lazy susan or pull-out tray for easy access to items in the back of deep shelves.
If you have deep shelves, use clear containers with labels to make it easier to see and access items.
Use tiered shelves or risers to create more storage space for smaller items.
Label everything clearly and use a consistent system so that it's easy to find what you need.
Consider adding lighting to your pantry to make it easier to see and access items.
Remember, the most important part of pantry organization is finding a system that works for you and your family.
