This post will share ten practical pantry organisation ideas you will need in 2021.
I’m sure some of us have our pantries in complete disarray.
It’s not that you don’t want to organise it; it’s just more convenient to throw things in there and forget about it.
Today, I’m here to motivate you to get your pantry organised.
Now, I’m not saying you have to have a Pinterest or Instagram-worthy aesthetic pantry, I’m just saying organise it in such a way that it makes your life a bit easier.
You have no idea how much money you are saving when your pantry is organised.
This month, I decided not to buy pasta and grains until I had exhausted the ones in my current pantry, which were leftovers from the first lockdown in March.
Yes, I had stockpiled some items that I didn’t end up using, and now I have to throw them away.
So far, I’ve only spent half of my food budget for this month, and we still have about a week to go.
This means that I’ve saved a bit of money because I organised my pantry.
If you’re not sure where to start, here are some convenient pantry organisers for you.
They’re mostly affordable and easily accessible on Amazon.
12 Practical Pantry Organisation Ideas For You If You’re Clueless.
Remember that you don’t have to buy everything at once.
Access your pantry first and make a list of items that need to be organised, and then pair them with the right organisers.
This way, you don’t buy stuff you don’t need.
Airtight Food Storage Containers
The first organiser I bought last year was a set of airtight food storage containers.
I really enjoyed emptying out my cereals, rice, grains, pasta, granola, and other items from their packaging.
It instantly gave my pantry a facelift.
Now, I can see just how much food I have left before writing out my weekly grocery list.
Apart from preserving the dry food, the containers also keep it fresh for a longer time.
Over The Door Hanging Pantry Organizer
Sometimes, when you empty items like tea bags, coffee, or spices and herbs from their packaging, some leftovers still need to be stored away.
This is where the over-the-door hanging pantry organiser comes in.
It helps you store leftover items that seem out of place or anything that you want easy access to.
Stackable Can Rack
As the name implies, if you eat a lot of canned, tinned or jarred foods and you struggle with organising them, this one is for you.
It is stackable and it can store up to 36 jars. You never have to wonder how to organise them without them taking up space or falling over.
Food Packet Organiser
Similar to the can rack, this one organises food packets such as spice packets, seasoning pouches, dressing mixes, and pet food, to mention a few.
If your pantry has items like this that need to be organised, this is highly recommended.
Additionally, it features three dividers that ensure the packets remain in an upright position.
Stackable Wire Baskets
Not every time do you need a specified organiser for different items. Sometimes, a generic stackable wire basket is all you need.
From cereals to snacks, pasta and just about anything in your pantry.
This multipurpose organiser, which comes with sturdy handles and labels, can also be used in other areas of the house.

Cereal Container
Even if you don’t have kids, a container is essential to keep your cereal fresh, crunchy, and prevent it from getting soft.
It is also essential to ensure that your container has an airtight lid.
Trust me, you don’t want to accidentally leave your cereal lid open.
It will ruin the entire thing, and you will end up throwing the cereal away because it is too soft.
Two-Tier Sliding Basket
If your pantry doesn’t have enough shelves for use or has limited space in general, this two-tier sliding basket is very useful.
You can also use it to store your tinned, jarred or bottled foods. It is easy to slide in and out for convenience.
Clear Pantry Bins
Just like storage bins, pantry bins are also multipurpose organisers that can be used to keep your pantry tidy and clutter-free.
From juice boxes, water, to long-life milk, wines, pasta and everything in between.
As long as the items are not too heavy to break the bins, they can be organised in them.
Kitchen Wrap Organiser
One of the most practical pantry organisation ideas is this kitchen wrap organiser.
Personally, I struggle to keep my cling film, parchment paper, and foil organised in a kitchen drawer, so this will come in super handy.
Particularly if you buy extra, you can have a designated space to store them in your pantry.
Stackable Pantry Shelf
Another option you can use in your pantry is a stackable pantry shelf.
If you have limited pantry space that you want to maximise, this is very practical.
It is sturdy and easy to assemble.
So, you can store your seasonal crockery, cookware and/or bakeware that you would prefer not to mix up in the kitchen.
Pantry Labels
This list will not be complete without pantry labels.
While they don’t technically count as organisers on their own, they supplement them.
Labelling your jars, containers, and organisers will ensure that they’re easily located when you need them.
You don’t want to organise your pantry and then disorganise it when you’re searching for something without a label.
These are cute, affordable, and will keep your pantry aesthetically pleasing if that’s your thing.
Pantry Storage Baskets
These are such functional storage baskets that you can use to store your potatoes and onions in your pantry.
They are made from high-quality fabric with handles that can help you store your produce for the short term while keeping your pantry well-organised as well.
Yes, you shouldn’t be storing your onions and potatoes together.
This is because onions emit ethylene gas, which causes potatoes to rot and spoil quickly.
So, get yourself these pantry storage baskets to extend the lifespan of your potatoes.
In Conclusion,
I hope that with this list of practical pantry organisation ideas, you have been motivated to finally attend to your pantry, which is desperately calling for your help.
Grab a notebook, make a list, get your organisers and get to work this weekend.
