When you open your kitchen pan- try, is it stream-
lined and tidy or more clut- tered and chaotic? The state of your home impacts your state of mind, so getting bet- ter organized in the kitchen can help you feel calmer in other parts of life.
Cleaning and organizing our homes gives us some- thing we can control when we can’t control much of the rest of the world — even with a space as small as a pantry. Stylist, interior designer and TV host Emily Henderson has a few tricks for keeping her pantry clean and user- friendly. As a mother to two small children, she knows clean cupboards are key to keeping her family life from getting too chaotic. Here are her favorite ways to refresh and rearrange pantries and cupboards, to maximize space no matter its size and give your kitchen a more beautiful look.
BUY IN BULK
This saves on packaging waste and offers a better glimpse of what foods you have and how much. Plus, this helps prevent last-min- ute runs to the store for a missing ingredient when you’re in the middle of cook- ing a meal. Try keeping pan- try staples like flour, sugar, pasta, coffee and cereal fresh in secure, space-saving containers such as Rubber- maid Brilliance® Pantry that fit in the pantry or cupboard. Airtight, clear and stackable containers like these keep you organized and on task.
CREATE A HIERARCHY
Organize shelves based on ease and accessibility. Keep snacks like pretzels, cookies and bars at a lower height, as they’re easier to reach. Everyday cooking

items like rice, pasta and dry beans should be placed a bit higher, followed by baking ingredients — and anything else used less often — up top. Remember, every household functions a bit differently, so adopt a hierarchy system that works best for you.
DECANT
Decanting means moving pantry staples from their original packaging into a different, labeled container, usually a clear one like Bril- liance® Pantry. These con- tainers feature StainShieldTM plastic so containers stay looking new, 360-degree
crystal clarity, a two-latch lid for a secure seal and a variety of sizes to accom- modate any amount of food you need to store. Being able to see what and how much is inside a container makes cooking, packing lunches and baking more efficient — plus, it makes the pantry appear more luxurious.
ADAPT TO YOUR SPACE
If you keep a system, it doesn’t matter if you have a walk-in pantry or only a few shelves to work with. Choose containers that are modular and stackable to maximize vertical space,
then designate sections for certain tasks. Baking might be in one section, breakfast items in another, snacks in a separate space, and so on.
Taking time to organize pantry and cupboard spaces now will have long-term ben- efits. Not only does it make the kitchen more pleasing to look at, but a pantry that’s perfect for you helps save time, reduces potential food waste and frustration — but most importantly, it inspires a more positive state of mind.
