Kitchen Pantry Organization + Printable Pantry Labels

Unfortunately, our kitchen is small and lacks a proper pantry. So instead, I have dedicated 3 of our kitchen cabinets as our pantry space.

It has been well over a year since my last pantry cleanout, so my poor pantry was just begging for some attention.

I also wanted to share my pantry cleanout and organization steps with you, so that you can organize your pantry and get it crossed off your spring-cleaning list as well.

Step 1: Remove Everything. Start by taking every single item out of your pantry cabinet and place them on a nearby table or countertop.

Step 2: Clean. While you have your cabinets emptied, give them a quick vacuum and wipe down to clean out any crumbs or spills.

Step 3: Check expiration dates and toss anything that is no longer good.

Step 4: Add shelf liner.

Step 5: Transfer as much of your pantry items as possible into airtight containers. This helps keep them fresh longer.

Step 6: Consider a lazy susan for storing your spices. Lazy susan's are great for easy access.

Step 7: Sort your remaining items by category and place them in baskets or bins.

Step 8: Label everything. Labels make it easy to find what you are looking for with a glance. They also help to give your pantry a cohesive look.

The labels come both pre-written as well as blank, in case you wanted to add your own text to the labels.

Step 9: Finally, place everything back in your pantry.

I hope that you enjoy your newly organized pantry!
