I look at home organization as what we, as a family, have to gain. My belief is that with strategic room and kitchen organization, we can live a much happier and more organized life.
That is why I take home organizing ideas seriously.
Having recently moved into a new home, I have got a ton of challenges on my hands. From finding suitable and convenient kitchen and pantry organization solutions to brainstorming workable laundry room storage ideas – these are just the first steps in my total and overall home organization process.
As the kitchen is our most-lived room in the house, we decided to start with kitchen shelves and pantry organization.


Best Clever Kitchen Storage Ideas With ShelfGenie Pull Out Drawers
With ShelfGenie kitchen organization, we now have the ability to access all of the foods and snack stocks easily. In addition, we have gained more, not less, storage. And this is huge for us.
The food pantry we have inherited in a new house is so tiny! At the old house, I used to walk into my pantry and really see what I’ve got to cook with that day.
A new house has presented me with some storage challenges. I had a small space – literally a hole in the wall – for my main food pantry. I created an additional food pantry space outside the kitchen. But I had to come up with a smart kitchen organization that would work with our family dynamic and my love for cooking.

Small Pantry Organization to Benefit Enitre Family
I love the kitchen pantry organization that my kids can maintain and understand! The ShelfGenie astonishingly smart slide-out shelves have delivered a huge relief with a few aspects.
First, my kids now cannot complain that we do not have snacks they want! Now, they can go into the kitchen, easily slide the entire shelf out and see the big picture of what’s on hand to snack on!

No more excuse not to find or see anything.
Second, we will be saving money on food even more with the clever ShelfGenie pantry organization. I need to admit that when I took out all the foods stored in my pantry, I was astonished to discover the cans dated a few years back. Wow, how did they manage to survive without being detected? I thought I got rid of all expired cans when we were moving into a new house. Obviously, it was not the case.
It just shows that with effective pantry organization, managing food supply becomes easy and doable.

I still cannot believe that I have more room for more food on my ShelfGenie slide-out shelves now.
ShelfGenie serves as a perfect solution for organizing ideas for small spaces. I have experienced it first-hand by installing the sliding shelves throughout my kitchen in the new house. Just look how much extra space we’ve gained with the installation of unique shelving solutions!
Space saving kitchen pantry ideas become a reality in any kitchen!

I need to tell you the level of care the ShelfGenie company is taking of their customers. The installation team worked quickly and professionally. All the kitchen floors were covered with protective carpeting to avoid any damage or scratches.

Wow! This looks phenomenal! So inspired by this to really maximize how we use the space we already have. Definitely swayed by your review of ShelfGenie, I set up an appointment to get a consult this week. Can I ask how much this project ended up costing you?
Susan,
These gliding shelves totally changed my life and the life of my family.
The convenience is so tangible that we cannot imagine living without these shelves that store and present all that we’ve got in a graceful way.
Would recommend ShelfGenie to anybody who considers such storage solution.
Hubby and I really want something like this! Thanks for the review. I have looked at their website and will be calling them soon!
Barrie,
Let me know if you want to pursue the company. I will be able to get you a discount.
I like this system of organization.
Cassandra,
This system has been a huge relief to me. Every time I cook, I don’t need to dread the pulling of any ingredients, pans and other utensils out from the depth of my cupboards.
This would be great to have for the bottom cabinets. I’m always having to get on my knees to reach in the back to see what is there.
Lisa,
With sliding shelves, you will gain freedom to take the bird’s view over any of your shelves!
No need to bow to your cupboards any more!
Wow! I Absolutely love these pull out shelves! I have about six feet of tall, pantry type cabinets, but they are so deep, things easily get lost!! I wish I could afford to put these in my kitchen!
Judy,
I feel your pain of not being able to get a quick access to the stuff that is located deep in the pantry. I had the same problem.
I did not want to install all the sliding shelves myself, hence it is a ShelfGenie solution.
But if you feel confident in installation, you can get quality pullouts on Amazon.
So jealous! I have always wanted sliding shelving for my pantry area. It was great to see the process etc… and your area looks amazing!
Thank you, Michele,
That was my dream to get the sliding shelves into the kitchen as a minimum.
Since my refurbishing with ShelfGenie solution, I have installed a “spice” rack into my wall-hanging cupboard. I will do another post to showcase what came out of it. Now, it is a full kitchen with sliding shelves!
WOW this looks so nice. This is something I need to do as well!
Dana,
These shelves are my heavenly gift to me, as I always do something in the kitchen. To look for stuff and finding the right thing quickly is now possible. Just roll out a ShelfGenie and, voila, it’s within reach.
I love being organized! 🙂
These make so much sense. Why haven’t cupboards and pantries always been made this way?
Cynthia,
I think every house must come with these sliding shelves installed! Not just in the kitchen, but in the bathrooms and other storage places. Yes, it will make it a bit more expensive, but who cares when you buy a house and it’s included into the price tag? People would be so wowed to buy such a home.
This would really help me. My pan cabinet and my baking ingredients pantry are too disorganized.
Monique,
These sliding shelves are heavenly.
I now plan to install Vertical sliding shelves for my upper cabinet to use for my supplements in bottles and my essential oils.
I don’t have a pantry but I really want these shelves for my “cans and bottles” cupboards. It would be easier to FI, FO with a system like this.
Melissa,
These ShelfGenie sliding shelves are a magical solution to bring any kitchen to order!
Ours is a mess! I will need to convince my Mom for some kitchen changes. These are great ideas!
Ruth,
I never look back! These sliders really made our life a magical experience when we are in the kitchen.
What is next? My office!
I am very jealous of those shelves! We do have a few in our kitchen but they aren’t anywhere as nice as yours.
Something like this would be awesome to install in our main bathroom as well! There is so much wasted space under the bathroom sink!
Pamela,
I am really with you: Our bathrooms could use these shelves!
In my home, there is no storage in the bathrooms! Who would have thought to build the houses without extra storage? I had to make such sacrifice due to other features that we love in our home.
But with the sliding shelves, our life has been changed for the magical experiences!
Every time we slide a shelve out, it is a huge “thank-you” feeling for these shelves.
I love the smart sliding shelves. Love this and need this in my home ASAP.
Kiwi,
I would never know hot MUCH of a Difference these Genie shelves have brought to us until we’ve installed them.
Every time I open my pantry or cupboards, I am incredibly thankful for the convenience these organizational wonders have brought into our family. Simple and Magical.
OMG! Yes! Yes! Yes! These are my type of shelves, too! I love them! Thanks for all these tips!
Catalina,
These shelves have been an amazing blessing to every member of our family. Every time we roll out a shelf, it’s a WOW feeling and the words of gratitude that we’ve installed them.
This would be so useful in my kitchen. I love the slide out for the can goods the best.
I could definitely use this to clean my pantry up some!
We have the sliding drawers in our cabinets. Love them! That’s so smart to use them in a pantry.
Janel,
The sliding drawers are superb!
Oh man can someone come and do this to my kitchen?! It’s an organizational nightmare!
Reesa,
I could do organization to a certain extent, like labeling and baskets and jars. But these sliding shelves really add another level of easiness to my kitchen order.
My pots and pans give me so much trouble. They are constantly sliding, tipping and crashing around. This solution would be perfect!
Anne Marie,
This is exactly what I’ve had before. So much trouble to get the right pan every single time.
A better system of organization for my kitchen would make my life much easier. I like the sliding shelves a lot!
Liz,
I decided to go after the kitchen first after our move, as we spend a lot of time in the kitchen and dining areas. This organization truly helps a lot!
The transformation is amazing! We have these in our kitchen cabinets but not in our pantry. I so need to do this in our pantry! Definitely keeps everything organized!
Nicole,
I did not know what I was doing without these pullout shelves! It was really trouble for me to open a cabinet and then figuring out how to get out the pan I really need.
Now, it is so much easier. Ahhh moment.
Wow, these shelves look like a great way to get organized. They add so much room!
Heather,
I really have gained a ton of space on the shelf with new gliding shelves.
I am impressed, truly.
We are currently (6 years 🙂 working on a kitchen redesign so this would be perfect! It’s so hard to find things that are actually functional that also looks great in a kitchen!
Jill,
I agree with you. Functionality + Esthetics, these are a powerful combo. ShelfGenie truly fulfilled my dream for this much smaller kitchen I came from.
I love this! Such a great idea for pantry organization!
Toni,
Yes, total kitchen organization plus saving some money on NOT having expired foods on the shelves!
I think this is a great idea. I’ve always loved the idea of the pull out shelves. I do believe they are so much easier to get to what you need and more spacious too!
Kathy,
My most favorite type of a pullout shelf is for baking sheets!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it! No more digging deep to pull out what I need for this or that recipe.
Oh my gosh are these sliding shelves amazing!!! Whoa, they are exactly what I need for my messy as heck cabinets and pantry!
Amy,
All of us try to keep our cabinets and pantry in order. But with time, things can become messy.
These shelves make is so much easier to take control of what’s on the shelf!
This is brilliant! I never know what is in my pantry and this would solve just about every problem I can think of. I love how easily it would be to slide them out and see what I’m grabbing when I’m cooking in a hurry! Love it!
Krista,
I hope there won’t be any more cans on my shelf from like 2015!
These shelves are totally retractable and allow to see all the contents. Love them!
