Spring has officially sprung, and with it comes the season of cleaning, decluttering, and organizing. And what better place to start than your pantry? With a little inspiration from Khloe Kardashian's beautifully organized pantry, you can turn your cluttered and chaotic pantry into a functional and stylish space.
Now, before you point out how lavish and large her pantry is — let me assure you that the smaller your space, the more important organization actually is to achieving a functional space. Grouping, organizing and displaying your pantry goods in this way will not only enhance the aesthetics of your space, it will 10x how it functions. Trust us, as a team who has done this for ourselves and countless clients. It is MAGICAL.
The good news is, you don’t need a team of organizers for this task. Once you have a plan, you can knock this out in about an hour or two. Just get organized and have the items you need on hand.
Here is what we recommend:
Empty your pantry:
Yes. We know this is inconvenient — but do it. The first step to organizing your pantry is to take everything out. This may seem like a daunting task, but it's important to start with a clean slate. As you're taking everything out, take a moment to assess what you have and what you want to keep. While it’s empty — CLEAN. Wipe it down. Mop it. Bring out the Mr. Clean wipes and really scrub it down. BONUS points for lining your shelves. We suggest this liner from amazon.
Categorize your items:
Once you've emptied your pantry, it's time to categorize your items. This will help you see what you have and make it easier to find things later on. Sort items into categories such as snacks, baking supplies, canned goods, and so on.
Edit and prune your items:
Before you start putting everything back in your pantry, take some time to edit and prune your items. Get rid of anything that's expired, stale, or that you know you won't use. This will make it easier to keep your pantry organized in the long run.
Invest in clear containers:
One of the hallmarks of Khloe Kardashian's pantry is her use of clear containers. Clear containers make it easy to see what's inside and help keep everything organized. Invest in a variety of sizes to accommodate different items. She also use a variety of earthy natural baskets and natural materials giving it a modern vibe. We love the form and function this creates.
Consider a label for everything:
Some clients love a good label, others do not. If you are a label fan, use a label maker or create your own labels using stickers or chalk pen
Get creative with storage:
Don't be afraid to get creative with storage and display. Think of this as your own personal Williams-Sonoma store. Make it look amazing AND functional. The biggest takeaway here is to consider using your serving trays and bowls which are usually left unused. Use big bowls, risers, trays and glass lidded jars to keep everything organized and looking chic. This will help maximize your space and make your pantry feel like a mini boutique.
Give it personality:
This is a big one. Your pantry doesn't have to be uninspiring. Add a touch of style and personalize it. Maybe make a “movie night” section with popcorn and snacks. Or a post-gym area with your protein shakes and superfood powders. Maybe a breakfast section with granola, dried berries and nuts. It’s your space — make it personal. It's the little things that make a space feel special.
Reward yourself:
Once you've finished organizing your pantry, take a moment (and a photo!) to appreciate your hard work. Admire your new and improved space. We promise — this simple area can deliver a daily dose of dopamine when you see it.
By following these simple steps, you can turn your pantry into a space that's not only functional but also chic and stylish. Whether you're channeling your inner professional organizer or just looking for a way to make your life more glam, an organized pantry is a great place to start. Put on your favorite playlist, and get to work!
