Getting ready for the holidays can become quite a chore. Organizing your home in preparation for house guests, Christmas presents, and other holiday goodies can cut down of the stress and make the holidays more enjoyable. When preparing for guests, I always like to start with the kitchen. Mainly the pantry. A good pantry organizing system will allow you to store extra snacks for hungry guests, provide a place to organize those extra holiday treats, and allow you to see what you have on hand at a glance so you know exactly what you need to prepare your holiday meals.

When I was looking for products to organize my own pantry, I discovered The Shelving Store. I quickly realized that The Shelving Store had everything needed to create an amazing and beautiful pantry organizing system. Below, are my top three products that every pantry needs in order to stay organized and to prepare your home for stress free holidays. (If you absolutely love any of the products listed below then be sure to scroll to the end of the post for a DIYHSH readers exclusive coupon code)

1. Shelving

There is no way around it, a pantry can't function without shelves. One of my favorite shelving options is wire. They can be inexpensive and look great in any room of the home. They are also easy to set up, leaving you with more time to finish your holiday shopping. With the industrial look becoming more popular, wire shelving has been popping up everywhere in home decor. The Shelving Store offers a large selection of wire shelves and they even have beautiful shelf liners to keep items from slipping through the wires!

2. Can Organizers

Have you ever found a can stuffed in the back of your pantry shelf and realized that the contents expired several months ago? Can organizers keep that from happening. They keep the older items in front so that they get used first and you never have to worry about wasting money on expired food.

3. Drawers & Baskets

Utilizing sliding drawers and baskets in your pantry allows you to easily reach items in the back without digging around. These sliding drawers from The Shelving Store attach directly to their wire shelving units, allowing you to create an entire pantry organizing system that's custom to your needs.

Once your pantry is organized, don't forget about the rest of your home.

The Shelving Store offers a wide range of shelving, storage & organization products, furniture & home decor, and even lockers. They even have a large selection of beautiful Fireplace Mantels as well. Perfect for hanging those Christmas stockings, and these Sweater Bins with Collapsible Front Panel are brilliant when it comes to organizing your winter wardrobe.
