    Depending on the size, there are many things to do. Buy some shelving, and put that up. Buy some semi-deep basket, these can hold many different things that are in the same category. You can put a shallow rack on the door, and maybe shelves over the doorway, to put things you don't use that often. Good Luck!

    Orangize items according to purpose, use see through containers to stack items neatly, get rid of items that are out-of-date or that you will probably never use. You can also purchase under the counter baskets and shelfing that will provide better opportunity for stacking canned goods.

    Buy some wire racks, they raise stuff up and you can put other thing under the rack.

    if you have the wire shelves like most of us do, we removed those and put in melamine boards for shelves the same width as our old shelves - I use clear bins and glass jars and large Mason jars (Hobby Lobby runs them on sale for 50% off all the time) for storage. I printed labels for the jars from the computer using free downloads - makes a world of difference

    1. Go through pantry regularly and get red of outdated provisions.

    2. Don't buy larger sizes of goods than you need.

    3. Put like with like: baking goods on one shelf; canned soups and vegetables on another; pasta and pasta sauce on another and so on.

    4. Label shelves with labels printed from the computer and mount labels on blue painters tape so you can change things around in the future if necessary.


    My kitchen is 9 x 9.5' so I don't have a pantry. Purchased a storage cabinet from WalMart or Home Depot with adjustable shelves and put it in an adjoining BR which is now a computer/work rm. Just finished organizing project this weekend and what a difference it makes!

    Hi there, we have a really long, thin, small pantry and made a lazy susan tower that worked like a charm. We used this video as a guide to make ours - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgBXMhaqhzA
