5 Tips for Creating or Organizing a Kitchen Pantry Closet

Kitchen Pantry Closet

When we built our home 11 years ago we had this great closet in our family room that we used for storing books, board games, and other miscellaneous items.  As our family and our desire for gathering company around the table has grown, we’ve had to do some rearranging.  About 8 year ago we decided to claim the family room closet as the kitchen pantry and it was the best decision ever!

Here are my TOP 5 tips for either organizing a Kitchen Pantry Closet, or things to keep in mind when you create one!

  1. Use a shoe organizer on the back of the door. This is ideal for things like granola (or my favorite, chocolate chip cookie dough LÄRABAR), small raisin boxes, single serving packages of nuts, and so much more!  Tip:  Keep snacks the kids can eat at their reach, put things like the good chocolate up a little higher.
  2. Store items like cereal boxes up high, where you can stack several of them uniformly to the ceiling, or as high as you need to.
  3. Toss small stuff in baskets if it doesn’t stack well on its own. Remove the packaging so you don’t have to fuss with it later, and so you can fit more into the basket.
  4. Use command hooks to hang up towels, a mop, a duster or any other cleaning things that you need to be able to get at easily, but don’t want setting out where everyone can see them. I use to keep all of my towels under the sink, but I got tired of bending over to get them.  Call it lazy if you wish, I’m just super-efficient.
  5. Keep an extra chair in the pantry for drop-in company. We also use to keep an extra booster type high chair in here for when we’d have little ones over.  Now my friends’ children are all getting older and don’t need the booster each time they visit, so we’ve retired it to the basement.  So depending on what stage you’re in, keep some sort of extra seating close by if you are able to.


That’s it folks, those are my tips!  I hope at least one of these things is helpful to you, and I’d love to hear any other ideas you have based on what you’re using, or suggestions you have for me after watching my video.

Clean & Organized Home = 1 Happy Momma!

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
