It's pretty well known how much we love organizing pantries. It's kind of our specialty... And whether you have a walk-in pantry, a small cabinet, or something in between - here are a few simple tips for achieving a photo-worthy result in your own home:

1. Think broad // If you keep your categories large (ie: A bin for "Dinner" items rather than "Beans and Rice") it will be much easier to organize, and much easier to maintain. Making your categories too narrow and too specific makes it hard to unpack groceries.. Too many items won't have a home and it becomes easy to just shove it in the wrong bin.



2. Big bins // Make sure you have at least a few large bins for bulk items. You are bound to come home with a bag of chips at some point, and you want to make sure your bins can fit those items!



3. Add a few jars // If you're looking for an easy pantry makeover, limit yourself to just a few jars. Anything more than that requires a black belt in pantry maintenance.



4. Keep it consistent // Make sure all your bins, jars, and supplies coordinate with each-other. If the product is too mis-matched, it starts to look messy.



5. Label, label, label // Labels are critical - we can't emphasize that enough! They add a layer of instructions that help you find what you're looking for, and guide you on where to put items away. We label everything by hand, but you can get an identical look by using THE pantry labels or THE custom labels on our shop page.

XO, THE HOME EDIT
Meal Prep Cutting Board

Our jaws dropped when we discovered this cutting board. It has containers that slide underneath, so you can chop your food and instantly store your pre-prepped items in the cute containers that come with it. We love this for prepping and storing items for kids lunches, plus it comes with graters for prepping cheese and more.

THE Rating: 10/10, our minds still are blown by this one!

Pizza Storage Container

Another "why didn't we think of that moment" was discovering this pizza storage container via TikTok. This container has individual trays inside that each hold one slice of leftover pizza. When you're ready to reheat, pull the microwave-safe tray out and heat your pizza with ease.

THE Rating: 8/10, we love this so much but it's not an absolute must-have if your family doesn't have the local pizza place on speed dial like us.

Ziploc & Foil Organizers

If there's anything we hate, it's a bunch of non-uniform boxes of plastics bags and aluminum foil shoved into a drawer. Enter: this amazing bag and foil organizer. We love using it with our labels to make drawer magic in 10 minutes flat.

THE Rating: 10/10, every kitchen needs this organizer. Period.

Hi! I’m working on my large walk-in pantry. My shelves are 16 inches deep so it’s easy to lose things in the back. How do you typically handle deep shelves?
