Do you have a pantry in your kitchen? If you do, life must feel so sweet. Come on, there’s nothing better than going into your pantry after a trip to Costco. But what if the space for your groceries isn’t a palace?
No problem. We’ve got your cozy pantry covered. Stick around to learn five ways to maximize your limited storage space.
1. Use A Hanging Organizer
When utilizing smaller spaces, we often focus on the bedroom. Perhaps this is because we spend much of our private time there. But the kitchen and pantry need our TLC, too. If your pantry isn’t built for a queen, that’s OK. Using a behind-the-door organizer opens up space. A hanging organizer is perfect for holding your jars, cans, and other kitchen items without the hassle of finding a shelf. They also make it easy to grab the items you need without searching. Who doesn’t love that?
2. Install A Lazy Susan
Lazy Susans are the backbone of a kitchen. They are found in cabinets or countertops. But placing a Lazy Susan inside of your small pantry is elite. It’ll give your pantry a classy appeal while giving your food a proper place to sit. Lazy Susans come in a variety of colors and sizes. If you’re low on cubic footage it’ll give your pantry the feel of more space. Plus, it’s always fun to spin them around when looking for what you want.
3. Buy White Metal Shelves
There is something bright and upbeat about the color white in the kitchen. It has a knack for making a room appear larger. But it also provides an air of cleanliness. If your pantry is small you can add white metal shelves for your tasty preserves. They’ll provide a surface for your items without making the room look cluttered. White shelves are also easy to keep clean. We can all use something to increase the ease of everyday life.
4. Use baskets
Have you ever been inside of a store and lost track of time in the home décor section? It happens to most of us because there are so many fantastic things to buy. One of the best items to incorporate into your pantry is baskets. Baskets, especially the woven kind, give an aesthetic of sophistication. They are an inexpensive addition to any room that needs storage. They also make carrying items out of the pantry easier.
5. Add Some Drawers
A small pantry can really expand by installing drawers. Drawers provide an alternative to shelves. Select the proper size for the space when using drawers in a pantry. Pick a color that complements the baskets, bins, organizers, and shelves. Some people might use clear drawers for spotting whatever made you enter the pantry faster. You can also label the drawers to increase the organization. But those are merely a few options. You can incorporate whichever type of drawers works best for your home.
The finished project
Once you’ve finished adding the new items to your pantry, you can bask in the glow of a job well done. No one said this project needed to get done overnight. Take your time. Don’t rush. Enjoy the process and allow it to be fun. Because projects like these can be done regularly, when there is something you don’t like, it can always get a makeover. However, allowing it to unfold slower decreases the likelihood of wanting to redo it the following month.
