1. Use A Lazy Susan
虽然我的食品柜配置不需要它,但我发现冰箱里的懒苏珊很有用。如果你的食品储藏室有很深的货架,一个旋转平台可以帮助你找到很难找到的东西。懒人苏珊在储藏室的角落也很有用,在那里存放东西会很尴尬。
2. Use Labels
Label everything! Whether bins filled with snacks or shelves packed with baking supplies, the labels will help keep you organized. They’re also helpful for visitors navigating your pantry.
3. Stock Dry Goods In Airtight Jars
把干货放在密封的容器里可以防止害虫肆虐你的食品储藏室。密封容器里的食物也更新鲜。

I recommend selecting glass jars because they’re durable, attractive, transparent, and don’t transfer flavors.
4. Organize Your Spices
I’ve always struggled with spice organization. I tried transferring them from store-bought pouches to super cute magnetic jars, but what finally worked was keeping them in a separate drawer outside of my cupboard.
The pouches are now organized in an index-card fashion inside a plastic bin, but if you choose to organize your spices, find a way that works for you. There are plenty of great ideas online including this clearly labeled array of jarred spices.
5. Add Another Level
You can findinexpensive wire shelving units on Amazonfor a steal. Some shelves even have handy drawers for storing small snacks and treats. If there’s a lot of space between your shelves, adding vertical storage options is a great solution.
6. Take Advantage Of Your Door
我的食品储藏室相当小,但有很棒的可拉式抽屉,可以让我进入深度书架的后面部分。

The configuration doesn’t allow me to utilize the back of my door, but if you have that option, I highly recommend you take advantage of the empty space.
7. Stock Cans Sideways
Storing cans can be awkward, especially in a tiny pantry. Try a DIYmounted can organizer like this oneor use specially designed bins to stock them on their side, save space, and avoid a tumbling cupboard avalanche.
8. Use Drawers
If you’re building a new pantry from scratch, adding drawers is something to consider. If you have a deep cupboard (like mine), slide-out drawers are a must-have.
9. Add Some Bins
I’m a fan of clear plastic bins for organizing things like spices, rice, and other pouch-bound foods. Use them for granola bars, oatmeal packets, and small food items. Most plastic bins are also a perfect fit for the fridge.
10. Utilize Baskets
A bit less practical, baskets add a pretty touch to a pantry. They’re easy to find in large sizes, too, so they’re great for storing bulkier fare.
11. Group Like Items
Whether you decide to label your shelves or organize like items in bins or baskets, keeping things separated by category will help you stay organized over time. Not sure where to start? Keep baking ingredients together, put snacks somewhere else, and set dry goods like pasta, rice, and beans next to each other.
12. Keep a List
井井有条不仅仅是把食物放在漂亮实用的容器里。一旦你的食品柜干净整洁,它很容易再次变得杂乱。Stay on top of things with a chalkboard or dry erase board inside of the door (or on the outside — depending on your style) and keep track of items you’re missing (or have plenty of on hand).
13. Move Cans To Eye Level
Avoid storing canned foods on the highest shelf or at the very bottom of your pantry. At eye level, you’ll have an easier time distinguishing between labels.
14. Store Cereal, Pasta, And Rice In Slim Bins
用细长的箱子来存放干货。它们很容易倒,占用有限的空间,可以容纳各种形状的意大利面。
15. Add A Pegboard
If you have a large pantry and need space to organize tools and cookware, install a pegboard for added wall storage. This pantry utilizes otherwise unused wall space and adds a functional grab-and-go area for pots and pans.
16. Use Wire Baskets
Love the idea of wicker baskets but hate not being able to see all your pantry contents? Use wire baskets to stock snacks and other packaged goodies like single-serving chip bags and breakfast bars.
17. Add Drawers
Did you know that you can add slide-out drawers to pantry shelving? Drawers are great for keeping items that can’t be taken out of their packaging which tones down visual clutter.
18. Put Most-Used Items At Eye Level
Organize your pantry according to your routine. Do you cook lentil soups in your Instant Pot at least once a week? Make sure your dried beans are close at hand. Are you a frequent baker? Keep your baking ingredients within easy reach. Avoid sticking frequently used foodstuffs at the top of your pantry.
19. Play With Magnets
Magnets aren’t only for the fridge. Usethis handy magnet stripto hold your spices. They’re great for pantries with unused space on a wall or door.
20. Add Lights To Your Pantry
Even the smallest pantry or cupboard will benefit fromthe addition of puck lights.在食品柜的架子上加上廉价的电池供电的照明,你就不用花那么多时间在黑暗的柜子里疯狂地寻找东西了。
21. Choose Uniform Storage Accessories
这与其说是一个组织技巧,不如说是一个提高视觉吸引力的建议。购买相同品牌和系列的储物容器,以保持物品的统一,创造一个美丽的食品储藏室。
22. Stock A Step Stool
If you have shelving that reaches to the ceiling, or you’re shorter than the average person, a step stool is a handy accessory that ensures you always have access to every inch of your food storage space. Small step stools are also helpful for kids.
23. Get A Handle On Your Tupperware
Those with spacious pantries may decide to use the area to stash their food storage containers. Don’t just toss everything inside willy-nilly.

Organize your Tupperware so that everything has its place. Stack similarly shaped containers and toss out anything that doesn’t have a lid (or bottom).
24. Stick On Ready-Made Decals
对创建自己的标签不感兴趣?用漂亮的现成的贴花贴在你所有的食品柜上。
25. Buy A Rolling Cart
If you have a walk-in pantry but still find yourself struggling to find room for everything, rolling carts are an excellent add-on for your space. Those with tiny food storage cupboards might use a rolling cart as an extra storage spot, too. Apartment bakers can store frequently used baking tools and ingredients on their cart, and roll it out as needed.
Why Should I Organize My Kitchen Pantry?
尽管Instagram上排列整齐的食品储藏室非常吸引人,但井井有条并不仅仅是为了美观。保持你的橱柜或食品储藏室整洁可以防止变质和浪费。把所有的东西放在触手可及的地方,意味着你更有可能在变质之前使用那盒燕麦片。
一个保存良好的食品储藏室也可以帮助你每月的食品预算。如果你能把所有东西都看清楚,你就不太可能买到不需要的东西。
Transferring products to properly sealed jars also prevents pest infestations and food going stale.
What Not To Put In A Kitchen Pantry
If you’ve got a roomy walk-in pantry, there’s nary a foodstuff that doesn’t fit. But those with small pantries need to be careful about what they stock. Avoid storing bulk items in your pantry if you have limited space. Store beverages (e.g., soda cans and bottles) elsewhere and save space for dry goods.
