Most of us have some food in stock in our homes and whether you have a pantry or not, it’s always important to organize this storage space. Today’s roundup will show you where to place and how to organize canned food, which I bet, we all have quite a lot at home.
Where To Store Canned Food
If you have a pantry, there’s no such a question: you will just put your canned food there. If not, it’s time to think where you can put canned and other food. Have a staircase? Build in a pantry under it, add shelves or ledges and put your canned food there. Need some sneaky storage space? No worries, there’s a solution, build in a vertical drawer somewhere in the kitchen: behind the fridge or between the fridge and the cabinet. The fact that it’s shallow doesn’t matter, make it large and you will be able to store a lot, from canned food to spices and utensils. One more idea is using the space that is often neglected, for example, behind the door. There you can build in some niches, add shelves or ledges, or make a large and very sleek shelving unit. Have some space under the kitchen cabinets? Build in some pull-outs there, and all your cans will be at hand.
This sleek pull-out drawer is the coolest idea to use this little nook between the fridge and cabinet.
Build in a shallow shelf under the stairs to store canned food and other food with long expiry dates.
This vertical shelf is a sleek one and it takes the space behind the door.
Build in a niche behind the door to store canned food and not only, use this dead space to advantage.
Wall-mounted shelves under the stairs are amazing to store canned food, and usual corner shelves will give you more space.
The wall is completely covered with sleek shelves that hold canned food, jars, bottles, and though the shelves are shallow, they are large.
This is a smart solution to save space as you can build in pull-out drawers under the cabinets any time.
You can organize the under the stairs space with ledges instead of shelves, these will be one-row shelves.
How To Store Canned Food
How will we store the cans and jars? If it’s a shallow shelf, just put the cans in one row and voila. If you have some shelves in any space, you can consider cool ladder holders, plastic and acrylic holders, boxes and baskets, especially wire ones. Why not trays? It will be uncomfortable and the cans can roll out somewhere. Boxes and holders prevent that very well. A ladder-style holder is also a nice solution, and you will be able to see all the cans you have. A vertical dispenser is among my favorites and you can even build it yourself. Such a piece will save floor and shelf space and will hold a lot of cans. Pull-out drawers and trays are a cool idea for a pantry or some cabinets, though they won’t hold a lot, they are very comfy in using. Turnable trays or boxes are nice organizers but again they won’t accommodate a lot.

These ladders are perfect to see all the food you have, and they can be placed in different pantries and on shelves.
