Our top tips for the perfect pantry

Pantry storage tips:

  • Co-ordinate your containers for a uniform look
  • Be sustainable and reuse glass jars and bottles you already own
  • When decanting ingredients like flour, add the expiration date when labelling
  • Organise using the first out method to keep food waste to a minimum
  • Add hooks to walls for baskets or baking equipment like sieves and measuring cups

Pantry design tips:

  • Choose a cabinet positioned in close proximity to where you'll be using your pantry essentials
  • Make use of the doors to mount spice racks or add extra shelving
  • Keep the interior light and bright so you can see everything with ease
  • List what you'll be storing inside to help determine what you need from the design
  • For pantry rooms or high cabinets, a ladder is essential
