When it comes to kitchen storage, we all seem to have one thing in common: there’s never enough. No matter how big kitchens are, it always seems like every cupboard and cupboard is overflowing with cookware, serving dishes, and of course, food. The key to feeling like you have a spacious kitchen or pantry is to organize and work with the space you have. By organizing your existing kitchen items, you’ll make room for any new items you might pick up and make current items easier to find.

Food storage containers are a good place to start organizing your pantry storage space. Food storage containers come in a variety of sizes and can be used for a variety of foods. For example, when you open a bag of flour, no matter how hard you try, some flour always leaks out and there seems to be a permanent layer of dust in the area where it’s stored. By emptying a full bag of flour into a designated food storage container, the flour will be contained and your pantry will be more organized. Food storage containers also make stacking and storing filled containers easier and more convenient.

Another storage organization option for your cabinets is double pull-out drawers. Double pull-out drawers turn dead space inside your cabinet into usable space, essentially doubling your pantry storage. Pull-out drawers are also a convenient solution, as you can pull out the drawer to find the item you were looking for, then slide it back into place.

Finally, turn the area under your pantry shelves into usable storage space with an under-shelf basket. Under-shelf baskets are easy to install and are a cost-effective way to add more storage space to your pantry. These convenient baskets come in a variety of sizes to fit on any shelf and will make finding those smaller items in your pantry easy.

Kitchen and pantry storage space is a problem for any renter or homeowner. It always seems like we have more stuff than space, no matter how big or small our kitchens. With the right storage tools and a little organization, you can maximize the pantry space you have without selling half your personal belongings.
