Pantries come in a variety of sizes, and if you’ve recently downsized to a senior luxury apartment, you may not have the same room for food storage as you had before. Before you fret over lost space and a smaller pantry, use these helpful tips to organize your new one and find everything you need in one place.

How to Maximize Space in Your Pantry

1. Utilize the Door

Regardless of the size of the pantry in your luxury apartment, take advantage of the back of the door. If you keep a lot of snacks in the house, install a chip clip hanger to display your options. Add an over-the-door shoe organizer to store pots and lids.

 2. Invest in Clear Containers & Labels

To keep your pantry organized and clean, purchase storage containers and labels so you can clearly mark what’s inside. Alternatively, get clear containers so you can see what’s inside without opening them. These pantry organizers usually come in a variety of sizes, so you can find sets that match your needs for different food items.

3. Use Vertical Space

Opt for tall and skinny storage boxes to maximize the height of each shelf. If the shelves are especially tall, use wire mesh organizers to create extra tiers. Store smaller, lightweight cans and spices on top and place larger, heavier pasta boxes or condiment bottles underneath. This will give you a clear picture of what you have in the pantry without losing smaller items behind larger ones.
