The kitchen is one of the essential parts of the home because this is what makes the house functional. Therefore, it is really important to have an organized, well-cleaned kitchen, and shelves and storage play a significant role in making that possible. Even though each kitchen has different spaces and layouts, certain organizers and shelves easily solve your problem.

Types Of Pantries

If you’re considering making a pantry in your kitchen, you must be aware of two basic types of pantries before making your decision.

Traditional Pantry

A traditional pantry is a pantry that is designed with kitchen cabinets. It is often integrated into kitchen units. The traditional pantry features classic cabinet-like doors, and you can also experiment with different styles. This pantry is very storage efficient  and it allows you to use maximum space and storage. You can store anything in this space, from bottles to herbs, spices, and snacks. Also, having partitions helps you to organize everything in a presentable way so you can find anything whenever you want without creating a mess.

Butler’s Pantry

The second type of pantry is Butler’s pantry which is often built as a small room between the kitchen and dining area, or you can also relocate it according to the space available in your house. The Butler’s pantry often provides the walk-in space and gives you extra room to manage all the appliances, groceries, or other food items well. This pantry provides you with additional space as compared to the traditional pantry for the preparation. Having this pantry also eliminates the maximum mess of your kitchen to make it look cleaner.

Material

The most commonly used material for a pantry is similar to the cupboard, such as plywood, medium-density wood, solid wood, melamine, or stainless steel.

How To Organize Your Kitchen Pantry

If you love to clean and maintain your kitchen, then organizing the kitchen can be an exciting job for you. However, it requires patience and little effort. Here are some tips on successfully organizing your pantry while enjoying the process.

4. Use clean and clear containers to stock food items such as pasta, biscuits, cereal, popcorn, and others.

5. Also, remember to utilize the door; you can store many items there too.

7. Lastly, keep everything in its place by sorting out the categories, and now you have the thoroughly cleaned and organized pantry ready.
