You might still be putting up your Halloween decorations, but a quick glance at the calendar shows that Christmas is just around the corner. Whether you’re entertaining a large group or just hosting close family this season, it’s natural to want your home to look your best. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to make your kitchen look clean and orderly while minimizing stress and confusion. WIth the right closet shelving, you can turn your pantry into an attractive, well-organized space that makes cooking a breeze. Here are some tips for getting your home in shape before the holidays hit. Cut the ClutterWhen was the last time you cleaned out your pantry? If you’re like most people, this space tends to become a repository for outdated, expired food and kitchen tools you no longer use. Before trying to organize this part of the home, take time to throw away anything that’s no longer edible. You can also donate unwanted canned goods to your local shelter and gently used kitchen accessories to a thrift store. The end result is that you’ll have more space to display those items you use on a regular basis.Go VerticalWhen it comes to kitchen storage, most people think about their pantry closet shelving and cabinets. One storage option that tends to go underutilized is vertical space. If you need more room for seasonal products this winter, think about mounting some bins and baskets on the wall or back of the door. You can use these spaces for holiday items like cookie cutters, seasonal treats, or supplies for entertaining guests. The goal is to free up shelf space for food and other goods you use on a regular basis.
