Storage solutions for organising the pantry

Category: Kitchen • Organising

There are times when something happens in our lives and we need to take time out from our normal routines.  This is perfectly OK and much needed, however I found myself digging a deeper hole each time I saw my chaos, I am trying to get back into my normal routine and sorting my pantry has been my first task.  As I mention in the video it frazzled me (yes I know sounds silly, but it’s true) I couldn’t find anything and if you have been a reader for some time now you would know I like to keep my pantry tidy and organised and this certainly was not. I am sure cereal was going stale and when going shopping I wasn’t sure what I needed as I couldn’t see properly on the shelves, it needed my attention.  

I have put together this video to show you storage solutions that helped to organise my pantry.  I create particular areas on the shelves for certain groups of items such as oils & sauces, spreads, baking items, cereal etc. 

Product List: 

All these items can be found at Howards Storage World, online or instore.

    IKEA have stands for $5 that are very pretty and sturdy with a pattern on the top that you could use for your two level requirements. They don’t bow in the middle from the weight.

    Beautiful! I wish my pantry was as big. I would also dedicate the bottom shelf to my 3yr son to organize and potter Montessori styles.

    I used to have a basket (plastic coated wire) that slid on to a shelf and hung underneath. Have lost it somewhere in moves, anyone know where they can be purchased. thanks.

    I found some great containers (superlock by micronware) in our local ‘cheapy’ shop which have dials on the top so that you can set the date and month so you know how long you’ve had things like flour or rice. One of the problems with dry goods in containers is not knowing how long they’ve been there!

    Ooh I WISH I had a pantry…. I get one corner cupboard and a half cupboard above my bench to store food in. So I am soo envious of everyone who has a big pantry that can hide their condiments, beverages and bread….
    On the up side I just bought some more tupperware modular mates so I can stack SOME things and try to make the most of the space I DO have…. Yay Tupperware!!!!
