Simple ways to store and organise your pantry essentials

How best to store and keep track of all those food items that don't go in the fridge or freezer? Perhaps you have a separate pantry - or simply need to make the most of your kitchen shelf, drawer and cabinet space. Either way, here are a few ideas to better organise those groceries that you only use up gradually, rather than straight away.

IKEA - Simple ways to store and organise your pantry essentials

See-through food containers hold on surprises

If you transfer your pantry items from their packaging into transparent food containers, you can more easily keep track of what you have. You can always label them if you need to. Instead of a mishmash of packets, boxes and bags, you’ll have your food staples stored neatly and efficiently.

Pantry storage essentials

Jars and stackable food containers are the must-have items for a good-looking, well-organised pantry.

Pantry regulars that are always in reach

When the most-used items are always within easy reach, you can remove some of the strain from your kitchen routines. For example, a breakfast trolley that you can simply wheel into position or a wall grid with herbs, spices and preserves. The key is to think about creating an effortless flow around mealtimes.

Clever products to create more pantry space

Shelf inserts and clip-on baskets can come in very handy whenever the full height of a pantry shelf is going unused. They’re inexpensive and easy to add or remove as your needs change. So that you can quickly add extra storage capacity, with no need for drilling or major renovation.

For a grab-and- go pantry

There are many simple products in the IKEA range to help you make more of your pantry space and to keep your essentials close to hand.

A pantry, just not in the kitchen

With little more than a simple yet sturdy shelving unit, you can turn an unused spot in the hallway, garage or even the living room into a practical pantry. Worth remembering if your kitchen is on the small side.
