How to Organise and Style a Kitchen Pantry with Replacement Cabinet Doors

Even the most compact kitchens can benefit from a stylish and well-organised pantry. In addition to simplifying food preparation, your pantry can either be a feature in your kitchen or blend seamlessly into your space with the help of bespoke replacement cabinet doors.

Let’s look at a few top tips and tricks to keep in mind when designing your pantry.

Ensure everything has a place 

With things coming in and out all the time as meals are made and snacks are consumed, the only way to keep on top of pantry organisation is to ensure that everything you like to have on hand has a dedicated place.

Pro Tip: Keep ingredients and snacks that are reached for often in easy-to-reach spots, and use any harder to reach shelves or storage boxes to house things you don’t need as often. 

Label everything

Although you might have the best intentions to keep your pantry super organised once you’ve spent time thoughtfully arranging everything, labelling everything will make this process so much easier, especially if other people will also have access to it. 

So, whether you’re neatly arranging items on shelves or making use of moveable storage containers, it’ll be worth clearly labelling every category to reinforce your organisational system.

Plus, if you live with other people, it’ll also significantly reduce the amount of times you’re asked where the black pepper is or where the popcorn is stored.

Utilise smart storage solutions 

If you like to keep your pantry well-stocked, it’s very easy for it to become a very visually overwhelming space. Packaging is designed to catch our attention on supermarket shelves, so minimising some of this visual stimulus can enhance the organisation of your pantry. Also, packaging is very often much bulkier than it needs to be, so decanting things into storage solutions can also help you maximise your space.

You certainly don’t need an array of fancy storage solutions. A few cookie jars can keep your baked goods fresh, and clip-top glass jars can be used for everything from homemade pickles to dry goods such as flour, sugar and rice.

Pro Tip: Choosing stackable storage solutions can help you to make use of the vertical space in your pantry, as well as the horizontal.

Bring back the lazy Susan 

If you’ve got fairly deep shelves in your pantry, a lazy Susan could become one of the heroes of your organisation journey. It’s important that everything in your pantry is accessible, ideally without needing to take out several items to be able to reach the one thing you’re searching for.

The revolving lazy Susan can make even the hardest-to-reach parts of your pantry more accessible and ensure that you’ll never find yourself juggling 4 bottles of oil to find the perfect accompaniment to your salad.

Keep your pantry clean with bespoke replacement cabinet doors 

While a beautifully organised open-shelf pantry can be extremely visually pleasing, many foods and ingredients are best kept in a cool, dry space. Whether you want to ensure your pantry matches the rest of your kitchen for a seamless look or you’d like to make it a feature, replacement kitchen door fronts are an easy and affordable way to achieve your desired look. 

Create a multi-purpose storage space 

If you’ve got some extra space in your pantry, why not use it to store some of your extra appliances that don’t get used very often? This will help you to free up some extra space on your countertops and ensure everything in your kitchen is easy to keep clean and tidy.
