Covid 19 has changed our way of living and relating. Too has changed our buying habits. We buy more food because at this time the whole family makes meals at home, and also, we have started cooking en masse. Just look at Instagram to see that it is full of biscuits, muffins and recipes of any kind.
In addition, we have reduced our outlets to make the purchase, so when we go out (or if we make the purchase online), we make large orders. And that implies that we need more storage space in the kitchen, and therefore, it can be very useful rearrange the pantry. To assist you in this endeavor, we wanted to speak to Ikea experts for some advice.
Step one: free up space
It does not matter if you are going to order the dressing room or a wardrobe. The first step is always to empty it, see what you have and free up space by getting rid of everything you don’t need. In the case of the pantry, it is important streamline and optimize the storage area. And to start, you have to empty the cabinets, clean them, throw away the expired food, and order what we do use well and package it properly to occupy the smallest possible surface and keep it close at hand.
If after doing this you need more space, you can still convert other kitchen surfaces, such as kitchen cabinets or drawers that we use infrequently, relocating their contents. In case this is not enough to store everything we have bought, we can still temporarily “invade” other areas of the house with elements such as trolleys with wheels or do the same reorganization exercise in other closets in other rooms to store products not perishable like milk, juices, etc.
Nonperishable food
To organize perishable foods, such as rice, legumes, or the essential flour, a fantastic solution is to store them in clear glass or plastic jars. They can be cans made to store food, but if you don’t have them, you can reuse glass cans of products that we have already consumed, removing the label.
These boats are very practical because in addition to making better use of space, we can see the contents of each boat. In this way we avoid the annoying breaks of the containers that dirty the cabinets with flour, salt, sugar … Also, it is important put more handy products that we use more often and on the upper shelves the least.
A box for everything
When it comes to optimizing pantry space and having non-perishable products on hand, you can store in a box or basket everything related to a function or activityFor example, everything that we use for breakfast or for an aperitif, the sauces and condiments that we usually use for food or everything that is necessary to have tea or coffee. That will allow us, in addition to having it organized, have it accessible when we need it and save it more easily.

Take advantage of space at height
Surely you have many wasted cabinets because they are too high. To optimize those space, you can take advantage of the height of each shelf through additional shelves that allow us to store products at two or more heights. Thus, we will double our storage space and make everything more accessible.

Extra shelves to hang from a shelf, such as wire shelvesThey are also a fantastic solution.
Smart drawers? Yes thanks
Drawers are often a major focus of clutter. But well organized, they can be great allies to store non-perishable products. You can use boats and boxes to take advantage of its entire surface, having everything organized and at hand. In the case of spice jars and small tin cansYou can store them in the narrow drawers that are usually on top of kitchen furniture.
With accessories such as accessories for spices we will take advantage of the space and you will have the products perfectly ordered. drawers that have more depth We can use boats, boxes and boxes that adapt to their height. Ideally, they should be jars with transparent lids to see their contents from above.
Looking for extra space? Cars are the solution
If the cabinets are too small, the trolleys are a flexible and adaptable solution to any space. As well as having wheels, the trolleys are easy to move, allowing us to take them out when we need them and store them comfortably afterwards.
Modular shelving
Perhaps this is one of the most ambitious solutions, but if you have space, it is the way to get everything in order in a loose way once and for all.
Frescoes that don’t need a fridge
The oversupply that has been made these days in many homes can cause some food to end up in the trash. So it is important to know how and where we should store them. Potatoes and onions stay cooler in a dark place, so it is better to keep them in a closet.
We can store them in wooden boxes lined with brown paper. Also, keep in mind that you do not have to mix them because they will spoil sooner. Also, many fruits and vegetables like bananas, avocados, and tomatoes are best kept out of the fridge. A good idea for them to breathe and stay better are the baskets, drawers or wire trolleys.
Food, in its corresponding container
Storage containers are a key tool in keeping our pantry well organized. In addition, they will allow us to keep our food well preserved and prevent us from wasting food. There are different types and below we summarize the advantages of each:
- Glass jars with metal seal: perfect for dry foods, sauces or jams. They keep food with all its aroma for longer. If they have a transparent cover they are perfect to see their content.
- Caps with airtight lid: their hermetic seal makes them perfect for keeping food in the fridge. They also serve as a baking dish and will serve.
- Bottles with dosing cap: allows us to directly serve dry foods such as cereals. As they are transparent we can control the quantity available
- Glass top jars: perfect for cookies or snacks
- Zip bags: an excellent solution to freeze food.
