Welcome to Life and Style by Jilian, where I aim to help make your life easier without sacrificing your style! Today, I want to share the 13 best pantry organizers that will make navigating your pantry a breeze. No more endless searching for something hidden behind other items!
Pantries are often jam-packed, making it easy for this area of your home to become an unorganized mess. The pantry can often be a catch-all place for more than just food. The pantry can house more kitchen necessities, and keeping the pantry tidy can be overwhelming.
I don’t know about you, but I am a ‘place for everything and everything in its place’ kind of person. I obsess about organizing my home and am passionate about finding the most affordable items that make sense for the space.
In this post, I want to share the top 13 pantry organizers I use. They help keep my pantry an organized oasis. Everyone in the house can navigate it easily without ripping it apart to find anything. They will change your life!
Key Takeaways
I’m going to break down this post into three parts:
- Food storage and organization
- Kitchenware storage and organization
- A trending alternative to pantry organization
We can easily divide our pantry essentials into kitchenware/appliances and dry foods. All the pantry organizers I feature in this post will help you situate one of these categories. This third trending choice shows an entirely different strategy. I have never seen anything like this, and it might be your desired change.
I have noticed a trend on TikTok. People remove everything from their pantry and replace it with cabinet items. Essentially, they switch the contents of their cabinets and pantry. Your cabinet contents and pantry contents essentially flip-flop.
This concept may seem wild, but everyone I have seen post this method has loved the outcome. They all claimed it was a much more convenient layout. So, let’s dive in and organize your pantry like a pro!
Food Storage Pantry Organizers
Food storage containers are a fantastic choice for organizing your pantry. Clear containers provide an easy-to-see organization with style while preserving food for longer. These containers are a win-win.
Another significant aspect of food storage containers is their many options. Most food storage containers come in multiple-sized sets for customizing convenience.
Many food storage sets have labels to make tracking the expiration dates easy. These labels also add a touch of sophistication to your pantry. Below, I want to share some of the top pantry organizers for your pantry refresh.
Air-Tight Food Storage Organizers
This first 24-piece set is the perfect addition to your pantry. These containers come in four different sizes, making it convenient to store many other foods. Each container has a reusable label to keep track of contents and sell-by dates. Plus, they look uniform and even styled when labeled and stored next to each other.
This particular set has excellent durability, price, and overall look reviews. It’s a great starter set, and I highly recommend it.
Next, we have a set that matches the above but with more storage space. These containers store larger quantities of dry goods such as pasta and cereals. They can also store Meal prep food in your fridge.
Drawers and Stackable Pantry Organizers
Next, I want to bring in some drawers and stackable baskets. These will be a game changer for my pantry, which has all the kids’ snacks. Finding what you are looking for quickly as a hungry kid in a rush makes life much easier—trust me!
No more tearing apart the pantry, looking for a quick snack. In addition to making snack time a breeze for the little ones, these drawers look so pretty. They make your pantry look clean and put together.
First, we have these clear stackable drawers. These are great for those kid snacks I was talking about. You can see everything inside, taking the guesswork out of the search. You can stack as many as you’d like to customize your pantry organization.
If you want easier access than a drawer, here is a set similar to the drawers above. The difference is that these have an opening in the front, so you can reach in, grab, and go! They are also clear to see through and stack to take advantage of vertical space in your pantry.
These pantry organizers are a must-have on your list. They can also organize your fridge and are perfect for storing produce. You won’t be disappointed adding them to your essentials list.
Helpful Extras
Sometimes, you need a little extra help with smaller miscellaneous items. Here are two pantry organizers that you don’t necessarily need but should have to make life easier. First, I use an organizer for my smaller snacks at the end of the box.
Items start to dwindle. You need the drawer for another box of goodies. Transfer those last-snack-standing packages to this clear small organizer. They have dividers to modify each section based on your storage needs.
This set of pantry organizers is helpful for two reasons. 1) You can see everything while keeping them contained. 2) You can keep track of what you are running low on so you can add it to your following grocery list.
Next, we all have cans that need storage. This is the organizer for you, whether it’s soup cans or soda cans. Below is a set of two, each container holding twelve cans. They are designed to roll your next can to the front as you take one out.
These pantry organizers come with excellent reviews. The only con to these containers is that they are not stackable. Still, they are a better solution than the organizer-less stacking choice. They also fit perfectly on a fridge shelf if you prefer to keep your cans cold.
I have the organizer you need if you are still looking for something to do with your spices. This 3-tier spice shelf is perfect if you keep your spices in your pantry or a cabinet. Depending on their sizes, you can easily keep 15-20 spices here.
Beyond the Groceries Organization
Let’s face it: we all use our extra pantry space for random kitchen extras, which can often clutter our pantries. If you plan to organize the food in your pantry, don’t let this random stuff take away from that.
These pantry organizers will help you disguise the clutter, utilize unused space, and keep everything in its place. As always, they will also add a touch of style to your newly organized pantry.
Bamboo Pantry Organizers
This baggie organizer is a best-seller, and it’s not hard to see why. Say goodbye to the ripped-up, ugly cardboard boxes. This organizer holds storage baggies of every size for your convenience. It also has three rolls, foil, plastic, and wax, with cutters.
This particular set also includes another grab-and-go organizer and a few wooden spoons for cooking. The organizer fits perfectly into a drawer or looks great on a shelf or countertop in your pantry. It is a huge time saver, and I recommend it to everyone.
Next, check out this paper plate dispenser. I love this for a few reasons. It can sit stand-alone on a shelf or be attached to the bottom of your cabinet to save space. The plates are enclosed to keep them covered and protected from dust. Plus, the sheer convenience of the grab-and-go plate is worth it alone.
The bamboo material makes this a durable and stylish piece. Seamlessly blending with any pantry aesthetic, this organizer is an excellent addition to any pantry organizer’s essential list.
Drinkware Organizers
Today, most homes are stocked with endless amounts of tumblers and water bottles that travel with us everywhere. We have them in every color and size. Some may even be personalized or sport your favorite athletic team.
These tumblers and water bottles have taken over our cabinets and wreaked havoc! At least, I know they do in mine. This stackable rack saves a lot of space. It allows taller tumblers to fit in any cabinet, a problem I always encounter in my kitchen.
These affordable racks can help eliminate the stress of finding a place to fit all of them! I highly recommend them for your pantry organizer essentials list.
You may want to keep your lids elsewhere once your tumblers and water bottles are organized. If you keep your lids and bottles together, this might not interest you. But I like to separate mine. Here’s why: I don’t like risking any moisture getting caught in the enclosed bottle. Leaving the lid open can eliminate this issue, but I keep it safe and separate them. I don’t want to risk any mold having a chance to grow.
To do so, I use a lid holder. This lid holder slides right onto any cabinet shelf so you can put it anywhere in your kitchen. Of course, sliding it somewhere near your water bottles and tumblers makes the most sense. Check this one out:
Bonus: Mug Organizer
The following product is one of my favorites. When I first encountered it, my mind was blown. How have I not thought of this on my own?! I know we’ve all thought about how to stack coffee mugs better.
Most of us have different-sized mugs and seem to collect more than we use or get rid of. Now, we run out of room for all these mugs, but we don’t necessarily want to toss any. These expandable coffee mug organizers are your solution.
These organizers make stacking your mugs easy—no more odd stacking and slipping mugs. You can keep them organized so you effortlessly see each mug. I love, love, love this way of keeping your favorite coffee and tea mugs without sacrificing space.
Hanging Door Pantry Organizer
If you have a door to your pantry, this organizer can offer you a lot more storage space. A good hanging door organizer can give you a place to keep smaller items. It can be a home for items easily lost behind other pantry clutter.
Door organizers are affordable and easy to assemble. This one is Amazon’s Best Choice, proving to be an excellent addition to your pantry organizers. With nine tiers of storage space, you can organize a lot of goodies. Being on the door, you also get easy access to these items.
