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

   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.
