5 Tips for Small Pantry Organization 

Looking for ideas to create a small pantry organization system in your RV or boat? If you’re working with a small space, like in your kitchen, you’ll need to get creative. And so we’ve provided some helpful storage tips to get the kitchen area in your RV organized. Check out these ideas from Elite RV & Boat Storage on how to make the most of limited storage space!

Tips for Small Pantry Organization

Whether you want to completely remodel your pantry or make better use of the small pantry space in your RV, there are plenty of ways you can organize this essential part of your kitchen. 

Consider Every Open Space as a Storage Alternative

If you are lacking storage space in your kitchen cabinets and pantry, survey your RV or boat for other open areas that could be utilized. Is there wall space above your sink that could hold open shelves? And don’t forget to look outside the kitchen for inspiration; a passageway between the kitchen and living room might have enough room for a bigger cabinet or storage system while still allowing easy access to whatever you choose to store there.

Install a Pull-Out Pantry in Your Kitchen

In the space-saving design, a pull-out pantry is an excellent kitchen storage option. As you pull the door open, you may see each item, and you may store everything away at the conclusion of preparing your meal for a clutter-free kitchen.

Keep a Handle on Food Storage Containers 

Excess Tupperware and Pyrex containers need to be organized by stacking the bottoms on top of one another while keeping the lids vertical. Do not store containers too high in cabinets where they could fall and hurt someone; keep them at eye level or lower.

Group Your Pantry Items 

The first rule of organization is generally grouping like items together. Once you have figured out the layout of your pantry, consider these categories for easy-to-find storage: 

  • Cans
  • Pasta/Grains
  • Bread/Rolls
  • Breakfast Food
  • Snacks
  • Spices
  • Bottles/Beverages

Stack Whenever Possible

You probably don’t have many shelves to work with when you’re first starting out, so think about which non-perishable items can be safely stored on top of each other. This way, you’ll open up more space in your pantry quickly.
