The last few years we've heard a top must have in a home is a pantry. Gone is the lazy susan pantry, today buyers want a highly organizable and efficient pantry room.
Buyers are looking for an organized pantry that when the designing is done is basically a scullery. Think highly organized drawers and shelving, a sink, refrigerator, perhaps even the microwave, dishwasher, toaster etc.
With everyone using the pantry, it can easily get unorganized and like any 'mini kitchen' can become a drop zone if not kept up.
Some quick tips to keep your pantry fresh and organized:
Every few months empty your pantry drawers/cabinets and place everything on the counters to look at what you’ve got.
Check expiration dates, throw away misfits, and toss anything stale.
Group what’s left into categories (canned goods, dry goods, snacks, spices, cereal, etc.)
Use baskets to store like categories.
Place your most used items at eye level and consider a designated “snack basket” easy access
Label drawers/shelves/bins for quick location.
Lastly, consider hanging a checklist of items you are running low on such as using a chalk board, white board, paper or better yet, have alexia in your pantry and you will just need to tell Alexia to add it to your shopping list.
