Pantry Storage Tips the Whole Family Will Enjoy

It’s easy to let your pantry get unorganized when you don’t have the right storage system in place. In most pantries, whether it’s a closet-style pantry or cabinets, you lose out on a lot of vertical space. This is where Art of Drawers comes in. With our customized storage solutions, you’ll be able to maximize the space available to you, making it much easier to organize your pantry in a way that pleases your whole family.

To make sure that your kitchen pantry is easily accessible and free from headaches, try out these tips.

Turn Shelves into Drawers

One of the best ways to increase your storage space is to turn your shelves into drawers. By using otherwise unusable vertical space (for example, having two drawers where you normally would have one shelf), you can store more items. Not only will your storage capabilities increase, but you’ll also be able to pull out your drawers to get a good look at everything inside. No longer will you have to dig through the back of shelves looking for things!

Using drawers will prevent you from letting items expire in the back of your cabinets, saving you money in the long run. It will also prevent you from repurchasing items you already have but can’t find.

Use Containers and Bins for Storage

Plastic, metal, or wood bins and containers are another great option for organization, especially if you have kids. You can separate out snacks, ready-to-eat meals, and more with baskets. Just make sure to label them accordingly.

Containers are also great for storing dry ingredients like pasta, rice, and flour. When you use clear containers you’ll be able to tell how much of each you have left easily, while also making your pantry look cleaner.

Label Pantry Items With Stickers and Decals

Using stickers and decals is a great way to make sure you always know where everything is located. You can label bins, baskets, and even drawers. If you have kids, let them design their own stickers to put on the outsides of their baskets. This will help them feel included, while also making sure they know which basket is theirs.

Labeling your containers also makes sure that you know what went inside of them, even after it’s empty. Using labels will also help to make your pantry appear more organized and clean.

Make Sections for Each Family Member

To further organize your pantry, make sections for each family member. These sections can house their favorite snacks, favorite meals, and more. This works especially well with children, as they won’t have to rummage through the pantry to find what they’re looking for when they get home from school or when they’re snacking on the weekends.

If you have young children, make sure to put their basket or designated drawer on a lower shelf so they can access it. Baskets or bins are a better option, as they can be removed fully from the cabinet and brought into another room if needed.

Use Drawer Separators

Using drawer separators is another great way to make it easier to find items within your pantry. Whether you have a large pantry or the smallest pantry, using drawer separators will help you keep your items in order.

By separating out sections of your drawers, you’ll be able to see everything in the drawer more easily. This will also prevent your drawers from becoming messy or turning into “junk drawers”. When you use drawer separators, everything has a place to live, making it easier to keep things organized long term.
