Hello World! Welcome Friends! Fall and spring are the times of the year when people take the time to declutter and reorganize their homes. The spaces that tend to gather the most “stuff” are often the bedrooms and the kitchen, especially the pantry. That’s kind of the catch-all in the space.
When a homeowner is unsure where to put an item or wants to clear the counters, so the room looks clean and minimal, everything makes its way into the pantry. It isn’t a bad idea if you have a custom kitchen pantry cabinet complete with designated areas for each item you decide to store.
That would likely involve employing a company to help tailor a design for an adequate storage solution. To get to that point, it would be necessary to first make heads or tails over what’s hiding out in the space, so it’s prepared for a designer’s opinion.
Let’s review a few steps on how to declutter your pantry space to get to the point of becoming organized.
What Are Tips on Decluttering a Pantry to Prepare For a Custom Storage Solution
Most people go about clearing their homes of clutter each fall and spring to find new and innovative ways to reorganize using optimum storage techniques.
Without the services of a professional company to tailor a solution, many of us are somewhat clueless about what equates to “optimum” organization. That’s particularly true in the kitchen where many things get stuffed in the pantry where they’re sort of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
The best we can do is to prepare the space for a custom solution by clearing out the clutter to leave a blank slate and then working with the professional to determine how things need to be organized for the greatest convenience in the household. See here for tips on getting to the point of the ideal pantry.
Clear Existing Pantry of All the Contents
The first step is to clear the pantry of everything stored there. You will likely find four of every product since you often need help finding something you’re looking for, so you buy yet another, only to get lost among the clutter once it goes in.
After clearing any new items you know you can’t use before expiration, box these up for donating to food banks.
For products that have expired, toss these into the bin. Broken appliances or units you don’t use should be repaired, discarded, gifted, or donated. Learn how to organize the kitchen at https://declutteringschool.com/organize-your-kitchen/.
Anything that doesn’t belong in the pantry needs to be re-homed where it goes.
Clean and Sanitize the Space
The shelves, walls, door, and floor should all be washed down thoroughly and sanitized. For those who want to work with what they have, a good idea is to paint the walls an accent color to add some punch to the space. You could also add some corresponding shelf paper and spice up the floor tile.
For those who want to go the extra distance, find an antique door for the closet (with appropriate measurements), update the pantry, and add a highlight to the kitchen.
When working with a company to tailor the pantry to your specific needs, these shelves might not be the right solution for you. A brand new setup could be in order, which will be something to design with your representative, emphasizing what you use the space for.
Nothing Kept in Store-Bought Packaging
When you have a newly designed pantry, the storage solutions for the products will change drastically. The pantry will no longer be an area with boxes stacked on top of each other or bags strewn throughout the cupboard.
Each item you buy from the store will transition into a glass jar, container, basket, or store in plastic tubs to keep things organized. Plus, labels will help to designate what each container holds and when it will expire.
Final Thought
A suggestion is to check online for ideas to have stocked in the pantry, so you’re always prepared when cooking. The aim is to keep items that don’t belong there out and hold the space full of kitchen essentials but only those that meet your preferences.
