Our favorite Pantry Organization buys
Want to just buy something to make your pantry look great? Here are our top pantry organization finds:
- lazy susan turn tables – best for bottles
- double lazy susan – perfect for small bottles of oils or condiments
- stackable canisters – love for things like flour, sugar
- tiered shelves – great if you have lots of smaller items and deep shelves
- under shelf baskets – great if you can’t adjust your shelf heights
- can holders – great for canned goods or canned drinks
- can risers – we DIYed risers from scrap wood in our condo, so nothing got lost in the back!
- pull out drawers – the most intensive option, but a great way to be able to access everything!
