Thank you to The Container Store for sponsoring this post. As always, all views and recommendations are 100% my own.
There’s something so calming about a well organized pantry. One of the main reasons why I love organizing my home is because it brings me peace and helps with my productivity. Over the years, I’ve learned better ways to organize my kitchen. But my pantry has always been difficult to keep organized because it’s small. However, when The Container Store opened a new location in Richmond, Virginia, I was so excited because I knew they would have exactly what I needed to keep everything organized.
Benefits of a Well Organized Pantry
- It’s easier to make your grocery shopping list because you can easily see what you need when you open my pantry.
- Foods are less likely to be forgotten or go stale from not being used.
- You can save a lot of time when you cook because you can easily see where everything is in your pantry. Also, cooking becomes less stressful.
- You’ll be inspired to cook more.
- You’ll have more space with an organized pantry.
Tips to Help Organize a Pantry
- Browse online to get an idea of the type of bins, containers, and organizers you want in your pantry. The Container Store has a lot of great options to choose from. I love the clear all purpose bins for my pantry because I can easily see the food. The decorative bins and the multi sectional bins are great options as well.
- Measure the depth of the shelves in your pantry so you can know which bins, containers, and organizers will work best.
- Remove everything from your pantry so you can have a clear space to get started.
- Add empty bins, containers, and organizers to your pantry so you can make sure everything fits.
- Create a shelving category or a system to help organize your pantry. Example, the bins on the bottom shelf of my pantry are snacks for the kids.
- Add labels to bins (The Home Edit Pantry Labels)
- Group similar foods together
- Use stackable bins for more space. (The Home Edit Stackable Pantry Bins)
- Utilize the inside door to your pantry for more space. (Elfa Utility Pantry Over the Door Rack)
