How to get the most out of your pantry without spending thousands. If you are inspired by organizing, then you must have watched the Home Edit series on Netflix and like everyone else jumped on the organizing trend.
If you haven’t then you must be living under a rock. Their signature rainbow organizing style sets them apart from all the rest which is no wonder why they got a sweet Netflix series.
I have drooled over their kitchen pantry style for a while now, but I have to be honest hiring a professional organizer is not cheap. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t organize your pantry just like everyone else. I couldn’t resist the urge of sharing some organized kitchen pantry ideas and products that don’t break your bank.
Alright without further ado, here are some ways you can organize your kitchen pantry that will knock your socks off.
Before your start tips!
Before we start you are going to need to clear out your pantry of items that are expired. It is taking up your valuable space and you don’t need it. Next, think about the zones that you want to create. Do you love baking and have a ton of baking supplies? Then you will need a baking zone.
When it comes to your kitchen pantry it doesn’t have to be perfect categories, it can be as simple as a baking zone, cooking zone, gluten-free zone, or a breakfast zone. Keep it simple for yourself.

Create Levels on Your Shelves
Your shelving doesn’t have to be one level shelving. To truly utilize your shelves you can add levels by using a can riser or shelve inserts. Shelving organization is key! Not only do you maximize your entire shelve but providing more space for yourself to further organize your space. It also helps keep your pantry looking clean and organized.

Use Lazy Susans or Turntables
Another way to have your items contained in an organized way is by using turntables or lazy susans on your shelves. It looks neat but the turn function helps you to not forget the items in the back or corners. As well as makes it easier for you to simply turn the table to get to the item you want instead of digging in the back.

Your Bins or Baskets Doesn’t Have to Be Clear
Who doesn’t love clear baskets and bins? I sure do! It is not only easy to see what you have but you can also see what you don’t have. However, you don’t have to have baskets and bins that are clear, there are plenty of ways to get the same look without spending thousands while remaining the organizing style such as wire baskets, weaved baskets or even white baskets.
You still get the same results but don’t forget to add those labels. Labels are key!

Don’t Forget to Organize your Pantry Floor
Another space that many forget is your pantry floor. This area of space underneath shelving is great to store your stock of paper towels, a basket full of chips or even to store some of your appliances. If you don’t want your items to touch the floor, get yourself some baskets or bins to place down. Now only will this free some of your shelving space, it also utilizes your entire pantry.

Store Small Items on the Back of Your Door
Since we are talking about utilizing your entire pantry, then you should include your door. If you have enough clearance from the shelving and the door, you should add small shelving to the door. Yes, many have used the back of their doors to store many items from spices, cooking oils to snacks and cans. The list is endless!
