The pantry is an area of our home that we use every day. And with new items constantly coming and going in this space, keeping it neat and organized can be challenging.

If you’ve struggled to organize and reorganize your pantry without luck, we feel you because we’ve been there! Fortunately, there are tons of tips and space-saving hacks that can help you create a functional and stylish pantry, and we’ve got the best ones listed here.

Below, we’ve gathered the top solutions for pantry organization, including ideas for any size home. So whether you have a small pantry, open shelves, or a walk-in space, there are ideas and inspiration on this list that can help you transform your pantry into a practical space.

pantry staples

get the look:

If your pantry is a walk-in style or large enough to store all of your pantry staples, we recommend making it a one-stop shop for everything you could need for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between.

mesh drawers

get the look:

Mesh metal drawers are not only affordable, but they’re also a realistic storage system for a pantry of any size. And we love pull-out drawers since they’re easy to access and reorganize as you bring new food into your home.

beauty in small spaces

get the look:

If you have open shelves as your pantry, we suggest choosing a variety of beautiful but practical containers to store your food in.

Wooden bins, metal baskets, and a combination of glass and acrylic bins make it easy to store everything you need while creating a cohesive and organized aesthetic.

narrow & vertical

get the look:

If you only have a narrow space to work with for your pantry, creating plenty of vertical storage is the way to go. Store the most used items at eye level or below and lesser used pieces at the top.

a spot for everything

get the look:

For large pantries, there’s no limit to what you can store here. Pantry staples, appliances, snacks, drinks, and more can have a home in a well-organized pantry like this.

If it’s in your budget, we suggest pairing counters, shelves, and drawers just like the space above for plenty of storage options. Also, add a wooden Lazy Susan to your shelves for easy access to spices and more!

pantry & drink corner combo

get the look:

A mini fridge combined with drawers and cabinets is perfect for a simple and uncluttered space that holds drinks, snacks, and meal essentials that are stored away neatly for when you need them.

functional walk-in

get the look:

A large pantry can double as storage and a second kitchen. A large counter provides plenty of room for a microwave and easy breakfast staples, while the shelves above and below create a spot for water bottles, food, paper towels, and more.

mix & match

get the look:

While it may seem hard to have a beautiful space when you mix and match containers, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Choose simple bins, baskets, and canisters in neutral tones to create an effortless look despite the variety of shapes, materials, and sizes.

labels on labels

get the look:

Labels not only create a lovely, cohesive look, but they’re also perfect for a well-organized system. We love this idea for families, as the labels allow everyone in the home to keep things tidy.

the spice drawer

get the look:

The spice drawer can be a dreaded spot in some homes, and we get it. Mismatched spice containers don’t always fit neatly together, so swap these store-bought plastic jars for sleek glass jars that fit perfectly next to one another.

the lazy susan system

get the look:

A lazy Susan can be your best friend in a pantry, making it easy to access commonly used staples that need to be stored together. Utilize these in your pantry to save yourself from digging through jars and bottles.

wicker & glass

get the look:

Wicker baskets add style here while working as a catch-all for loose items. Pair these with sleek glass canisters for a beautiful storage system that keeps pantry staples organized.

organize with acrylic

get the look:

Acrylic containers, mini shelves, and organizers are one of our favorite options. They’re affordable, and they minimize visual clutter, creating a beautiful yet efficient system.

transparent storage

get the look:

Using transparent or semi-transparent baskets, bins, and drawers makes it easy to find anything you need in a flash. This is also a great system for a family with little ones, making it easier for them to independently find things or help Mom and Dad.

a little of everything

get the look:

All these pantry organization ideas can be combined in one space for the ultimate pantry management system. Glass canisters and lazy Susan’s are perfect for staples, while bins and baskets are easy to pull out and quickly find snacks and other items.

the minimalist kitchen corner

get the look:

When you have open shelves above your kitchen counter, we suggest creating a simple storage system to avoid visual clutter. Stick with the essentials and choose two or three types of containers for a seamless aesthetic.
