Maximizing Vertical Space
The Power of Clear Containers
Decanting—the act of transferring dry goods from their original packaging into clear, uniform containers—is a hallmark of professional organizers like Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin. This technique not only looks incredibly satisfying but also serves a practical purpose: you instantly know how much stock you have left.
Using stackable, airtight systems akin to OXO Good Grips Pop Containers ensures that your flour, pasta, and snacks remain fresh while neatly fitting together like puzzle pieces, effectively maximizing vertical space in tall pantry shelves.
Under-Shelf Solutions
Don't let the space above your dishes go to waste.
Wire Under-Shelf Baskets
Slide these onto existing wooden shelves to instantly create a secondary tier for flat items like cutting boards, foil boxes, or small plates.
Lazy Susans (Turntables)
Perfect for deep corner cabinets. A simple spin brings oils, vinegars, or spices to the front, eliminating the need to dig.
Tension Rods
Install short tension rods vertically between shelves to create custom slots for baking sheets and serving platters.
