When your pantry is cluttered, you tend to feel cluttered, too. If things are falling from the shelves and you can’t find a regular old box of pasta…you may have a problem. But no matter the current state or size of your pantry, there’s always a way to fix it! Check out these 17 organization hacks and get inspired to take your pantry into your own hands!

 

  1. Vertical Shelves

    Utilize vertical shelves or tension rods to keep cutting boards and cookie sheets neatly in place.

  2. Pull-Out Wire Baskets

  3. Magazine Rack

    Storing potatoes is always a challenge. Use an old magazine rack to keep them organized and out of the way.

  4. Hanging Office Clips

    To keep chips fresh and clutter-free, use office clips to keep bags closed. If you have wire shelving, hang the clips for extra organization!

  5. Spice Rack on Door

    The back of your pantry door is an open space to be used! Install a spice rack and really utilize that space.

  6. Laundry Bags

    Dollar store laundry bags make great storage for onions and garlic. They’re easy to hang from the pantry wall, too.

  8. Pot Lid Storage

    Pot lids can get cluttered fast. Use this minimized shelving on the pantry wall or door to keep them in order.

  9. Rolling Crates

    Similar to the pull-out baskets, putting some casters on crates makes for storage that can disappear at a moments notice!
