When decanting always write the expiration date on the bottom of the jar’, says Ann Lightfoot. It’s easy to fill the space so there’s less chance of knocking things over. Not just because they look good, but because they fit together so well. 'We always recommend purchasing containers from the same brand and in the same style. Decant food into space-saving containersīuying food in proportion to the cabinets space you have will keep things less cluttered but if bulk buying is your preference, try decanting dried goods into containers that stack neatly side by side (or back to back, in this case) then store excess elsewhere. If your cabinet doesn’t have shelves, consider using long and narrow stackable containers, like these transparent pantry organizers at Wayfair to make use of the vertical space. ‘If your cabinets are higher up, we recommend using long, transparent bins that can be pulled out and set on a counter, almost like a removable drawer,' adds Ann Lightfoot, co-founder of Done & Done Home. Keep your most frequently used items at the front and lesser-used items at the back, to save you having to pull them out all the time. Depending on how deep your cabinet is, you’ll likely find you can fit two or three bins on one shelf. It keeps things neat and makes it so much easier to find what you need. Just like when organizing kitchen drawers, best practice when organizing kitchen cabinets is to group like-items according to their use or purpose and corral them into transparent, labeled containers. ‘Think first in first out – when you purchase an item it goes to the back of the grouping so the item with the nearest expiration date always remains at the front,' she says.

Professional organizer Brenda Scott refers to this as the ‘FIFO’ method: This is the way it’s done in supermarkets to ensure customers buy the stock going out of date first.
If you’re storing duplicate food items, be sure to position them according to how soon they’re due to go off.
This three-tiered stepper at Amazon expands to fit shelves and has a non-slip surface to prevent anything from falling. Get around the problem by using tiered organizers to elevate tins, packets, and spice jars so they’re clearly visible and easy to reach without knocking things over. They may be able to house a lot of ‘stuff’, but long and narrow cabinet shelves can mean that smaller items get left to linger unseen at the back and, if it’s food, potentially go out of date. If you’re not going bespoke, be sure to measure the height and width of the shelf before committing to a mechanism – you ideally want a snug fit, so you’re not left with dead space at the back. Installing kitchen organizers such as pull out shelves, drawers or racks will make a huge difference in terms of usability, allowing you to reach items right at the back with ease. Instead of sticking with standard interior storage, maximize on the space you do have by fine-tuning the fittings and tailoring the insides of your long and narrow cabinets.
Once you know what’s going where, you’ll be able to work out the best kitchen cupboard storage ideas, too. It’s common sense, but defining zones like this really does make all the difference to your cooking experience. Next to the dishwasher, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, tea towels, and so on.
If it’s next to the stove, assign it to cooking essentials – herbs, spices, oils, utensils, etc. Usually, long and narrow cabinets sit between a countertop and an appliance. One thing that the most organized kitchens have in common is sensible kitchen layout ideas, so before you start refilling your cabinets, think about where they’re located.
