The 24 Best Pantry Organizers to Save Space in Your Kitchen Cabinets (2024)

These aesthetically pleasing containers from OXO make it easy to organize dry food in your pantry. The containers are rectangle- and square-shaped and come in 18 sizes ranging from mini (0.2 quarts) to tall (6 quarts). OXO's Pop Containers are stackable, so they make efficient use of even the smallest amount of space. They are made from BPA-free plastic and are durable and easy to clean.

But the best part is that when you use the push button to close the container, it creates an airtight seal to preserve the freshness of your pantry staples. You can buy these containers individually or in sets, easily customizing them to your specific needs. Once you have them, there's no limit to what you can store, including everything from pasta, rice, and cereal to flour, sugar, and dried beans.

This freestanding organizer is the ideal solution if you find yourself constantly digging through your pantry to find a specific item. Comprising two pull-out drawers, this organizer allows easy access to typically hard-to-reach items. It's especially convenient in tricky spaces, like underneath your kitchen sink or in the bottom drawer of your cabinet.

Available in various colors ranging from neutral to bright, you're sure to find a match for your space. The only potential con to note is that this storage solution is best for lightweight items like snacks or spices—otherwise, it may become top-heavy and tip over.

Who says the inside of your cabinets can't be chic? Case in point: This wire pantry basket from Target's Brightroom brand, which is made of powder-coated steel in a white finish and complemented by elevated wooden handles. While these organizers are undeniably great for corralling items behind closed doors, they will also look really good on the counter (which, let's face it, isn't always the case for storage solutions).

Pondering what you'll house inside of it? Consider this: Its open-top design allows for airflow and visibility of what's inside, making it a smart—and stylish—way to store fruits and vegetables, as well as bagged snacks. Plus, it looks good enough to use outside of the kitchen if you need a basket for your bathroom, home office, or bedroom.

Arguably one of the biggest annoyances in the kitchen is when you're in a rush and can't find the lid to match your storage container. Those who agree need this handy, easy-to-assemble lid organizer from YouCopia. This tool comes with five adjustable dividers to store your lid collection most efficiently and is available in three sizes (small, medium, and large). This customization feature is a game-changer for those with an abundance of containers in one size and significantly less of another.

Worried about the fate of your round lids? Fear not—this organizer has a center channel built into the bottom of the tray that keeps them upright. Just take note that it's not built for lids that measure over 9 inches.

This clear plastic lazy susan from Target makes it easy to grab what you need from your pantry or refrigerator in seconds—especially those spices and oils that are easy to misplace. As the name implies, it spins so you don't have to dig through your cupboards or fridge to find what you need.

We like that this lazy susan has three sections (one that takes up half the size of the container and two that make up the other half) to keep your storage items as neat and organized as possible. Another great detail? It has a non-slip bottom to make sure your items—and the device itself—stay in place while it's spinning.

Looking for an eco-conscious cabinet organizer that will simultaneously elevate your space? If so, these shelf risers from Open Spaces should be on your radar. The dual-material design is made from cream-colored post-industrial steel and high-quality ash (which is one of the most sustainable types of wood, FYI).

These shelf rises are particularly luxe thanks to the white-washed wood surface and cream-colored steel legs, which boast an artistic quality. Thanks to the clean and simple design, these risers are especially suited for open shelving, where aesthetics matter more than inside closed cabinets. This stylish design also adds some versatility, and you may want to purchase another set to use as a laptop riser or on your kitchen counter.

The Home Edit's plastic pantry organizer is ideal for organizing individually wrapped snacks, small bags of chips, and more. We appreciate that the sides have handles, which make it easy to transfer a full bin from the pantry to the counter. Available individually or in sets of four, this plastic bin is also stackable.

We especially love the open window on the front, which allows for easy access to your snacks without having to pull out the entire bin (or the one on top of it). Just keep in mind that it only comes in one size and is hand-wash only.

Are your baking sheets, glass baking dishes, and cooling racks sitting in a messy pile in your cabinet? If so, it might be time to scoop up this adjustable bakeware rack from YouCopia. This cabinet organizer features seven "U"-shaped dividers that you can customize based on how many items you're looking to store. No installation is required to use this rack—all you have to do is insert one end of the divider into an open slot on the base and the other end into a slot on the opposite side.

This woven kitchen caddy keeps all your essentials in one place—and it looks good doing it. The caddy is divided into four spacious sections, and thanks to its built-in handle, it’s easy to carry around. This makes the caddy perfect for storing go-to items, like salt and pepper shakers, flatware sets, napkins, and more. By keeping these must-haves in the same spot, you can spend less time flittering from drawer to drawer and bring everything to your table in a single trip.

Thanks to its metal frame and woven exterior, the caddy is both sturdy and stylish. It’ll dress up your pantry and look great on your kitchen table. And since it’s so portable, it’s perfect for outdoor entertaining. The only downside? The handle doesn’t hinge, so you can’t fold it over to save space or stack stuff on top of it.

Corner cabinets can be tough to work with, but this shelving rack from Dotted Line maximizes space in the hard-to-navigate spot. The three-tier rack is made of bamboo, and it has two slatted shelves, which take full advantage of the vertical space inside your cabinets. The shelves can hold a combined 40 pounds, making them great for heavy dishes and storage jars. And the base of the rack is open to allow for even more storage.

The rack comes in a fixed size—10 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 9 inches tall—so it won’t fit inside every cabinet. But it’s still sleek enough to display in a countertop corner. The rack is also versatile, sturdy, and easy to assemble. It ships in five pieces and comes with everything you need to put it together.

Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 9 inches | Material: Bamboo

It comes with two screws, so all you need is a drill to lock the unit into place, and then you can get to organizing. Just make sure you have enough space in your cabinet, both length and width-wise.

The alloy steel-crafted design holds up to five pots or pans, and racks can be easily adjusted or removed to fit your unique items. Even better, you can either store your pots and pans facing upright so that the organizer stands vertically, or on its side as a rack. Just be wary if you have a few cast iron products, as the rack might tip over under that extra weight.

As for installation, this kit comes with all of the hardware you need to mount it on the back of your pantry door, but note that you will need a drill, a quarter-inch drill bit, and a level to ensure it's properly secured, per the instruction manual.

This BPA-free plastic organizer contains four rows specially designed to store your favorite tea bags. If your collection exceeds four rows' worth, the good news is that they were born to be stacked—each organizer has a slide-out front drawer that gives you easy access to your tea.

Of course, you can use this organizer for items other than tea. For example, it's a convenient storage option for coffee essentials like creamer, sugar packets, and K-cups. And if you don't need all four rows, you'll be happy to hear that the dividers are removable, so you can customize it however you like.

You can also utilize them for miniature water bottles, cans of pop, and—if you're looking to get creative—your cat's canned food. Just be careful not to overload these storage bins, otherwise one may fall off the top and meet its demise on the floor.

Want to maximize the space under your shelves and cabinets? These sleek hooks from Rejuvenation will get the job done. Each set comes with five hooks, which are pre-mounted on a rack so you don’t have to install them individually. This cuts down on the holes you have to put in your shelves and cabinets. And it also means the hooks will be perfectly spaced out—no meticulous measuring required.

The rack itself is small—just 11.3 inches long—but it supports a fair amount of weight. The hooks can hold up to 3 pounds each, so they can store a range of kitchen necessities, like measuring cups, kitchen tools, dish towels, and more. It's pricey, but since it's contract-grade, it makes a great investment piece. It's also available in three sleek finishes, so it's easy to match to your kitchen hardware.

There’s lots of underutilized space in any kitchen, but with a few of these mDesign storage bins, you can put that empty space to use. The bins are adhesive, so they’re easy to mount on walls, inside cupboards, and behind pantry doors. (They also come with screws in case you’d prefer a more traditional install process.)

The bins come in three different sizes, which you can mix and match based on your storage needs. They’re sturdy, too: The smallest size holds 6 pounds, while the biggest one maxes out at 20 pounds. Though the bins are spacious, they’re best for low-profile items, like cleaning products and boxes of plastic wrap. But they make a space-efficient alternative to bulky over-the-door organizers. They’re see-through, so it’s easy to see what you’ve stored inside them.

It also has a handle and built-in caster wheels, so you can use it to transport groceries, ingredients, and other large volumes of stuff from your kitchen to your pantry (and back).

Though the cart is low-profile, it’s deceptively spacious. It has three shelves, which can hold between 4.4 and 13.2 pounds apiece—and its wooden surface can support an additional 2.2 pounds. Made of steel, the cart is also sturdy and easy to clean. It even comes in two sleek colors. The only hold-up? It’s pretty expensive. But since it’s so versatile, it’s also an easy splurge to justify.
