Pretty Up Your Pantry With These Tips

March 3, 2023 admin

Does the sight of your packed pantry fill you with stress? If so, it might be time to get this part of the home in order. Over time, a pantry can become a storage space for expired canned goods, unused kitchen tools, and foods your family members don’t even like. Fortunately, a little pantry closet organizing can go a long way toward getting your home in shape while helping you save money at the grocery store. At Closet World, we’re passionate about helping families organize their homes and their lives. Want to love your kitchen again? Keep reading for our tips on prettying up your pantry before the year ahead.

 

Take Inventory

It’s hard to know what closet-organizing decisions to make in the pantry if you’re unsure of the contents. Before adding shelving or baskets, we recommend removing everything and taking inventory of what’s there. Start by pulling out all the foodstuffs, and tossing everything that’s stale or expired. You can also dump or donate products that your family tried and rejected. As a bonus, cleaning out your pantry helps you avoid purchasing duplicate items the next time you hit the grocery store. 

 

Purchase Storage Solutions

It’s hard to organize your pantry effectively if you don’t have sufficient storage options in place. While shelving is a good starting point, it’s easy for pantry shelves to get overcrowded if items are crammed together at random. Keep items organized by investing in pull-out baskets and bins, hanging storage, and hooks. Additionally, you can use drawers for narrow items like dish towels, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and linens. By ensuring everything has a proper place, you increase the odds that family members will put items back where they belong after use.

 

Create a Kid-Friendly Space

If you have kids, then you know how quickly pantries can get out of order. After all, children are likely to pull every item off the shelf in search of the one they want. Reduce the likelihood of messes occurring by creating a kid-friendly space in this part of the home. We recommend choosing a low shelf that small children can reach with ease. Then fill bins and baskets with healthy snacks like dried fruit, nuts, bottled water, and granola bars. You can even include colors or labels so kids know where to look. The goal is to reduce the amount of time kids spend rummaging through the rest of the pantry.
