How to Organise a Pantry When You Don't Have Much Space

Start by seeing what you have

Take everything out or work shelf by shelf. Group similar foods together and remove empty packaging and anything that no longer belongs.

Store by category

Keep breakfast foods together, baking supplies together and everyday staples together.

Use the full height of each shelf

If there is unused space above your items, consider a suitable shelf organiser to create another storage level.

Keep frequently used items within reach

Less-used items can go higher or further back, while everyday staples should be easy to grab.

Make the system easy to maintain

When new groceries arrive, put them straight into their category.

Do a weekly five-minute check

Look for empty packets, items nearing their use-by date and anything that has migrated into the wrong category.
