Pantry Organization

An element of home and interior design that can often get forgotten about is organization! But without it, or any form of order in cabinets, closets, or the pantry, things can quickly escalate into chaos. Kids can’t find their favorite snacks, or you can’t find the pasta that needs eating up first… It can quickly become a mess, making everyday tasks difficult too.

In this Shop the Look feature I’m going to share my top tips and ideas on Pantry Organization so you can create the perfect pantry that is functional, and relatively aesthetically pleasing too!

How to Recognize Pantry Organization

Every household will have their different opinions on what is seen to be “organized” or not. And that’s okay – we’re all different! With differing habits and styles of going out our everyday. But generally speaking there has to be some sort of order to a pantry for it to be organized.

Typically, an organized pantry will look somewhat similar to shelves in the grocery store! There will be shelves full of canned and dried foods stacked in an organized way. Some see an organized pantry as having different containers to store these dried foods to create a more visually pleasing look. But for busy families this isn’t always necessary.

So long as you can see what you have, can find what you need without too much trouble, and have a place for everything – you have an organized pantry.

Pantry Fun Facts:

The Pantry dates back as early as the 17th and 18th Centuries! It was a small room off to the side of the kitchen for food storage, particularly for meats and bread. Pantries evolved from early Colonial American “butteries” that were built in a cold north corner of a colonial home.

Pantries have been a home design staple for many years, as they provide a great space to store food, drinks, crockery, and other kitchen accessories.
