TESTIMONIALS

It’s cool and light. Not too loud. Comfortable color (especially if you want people who come into your office to feel “chill”... shoutout to raging parents or intimidated students).
— Liyam Cundangan
I will definitely recommend you to my friends. I’m also excited to see their reactions when they see the dining room.

FROM HELL'S KITCHEN TO HEAVENLY COOKING

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Having a well-organized pantry for that matter is something every cook or baker dreams about. After all, we want to enjoy our cooking adventures without worrying about not finding the ingredients we need.

One of the things I wish I planned really well when I built my house was the kitchen. The funny thing is, in my previous house, the kitchen was well planned! In this post, I will discuss the importance of having a pantry no matter how small your space is. 

As a practice, most of us probably only do groceries once a week. Perhaps at the most twice a week. What does this mean? We need storage for our groceries--from our condiments, spices, flour to rice, pasta, canned goods, drinks and maybe snacks as well. That is why even if you live in a studio, having a pantry is something you should plan for.

How do we start? First, determine how you work in the kitchen. Do we simply cook a simple meal? Or are you an aspiring chef or even a baker? All of us have different needs. List down the things you normally buy to ensure that all is planned for. 

Next, measure your space. Where do you put your pantry? Here are some inspirational photos that will help you in planning your space.

Even a small pull out cabinet like this will help.

I love these canisters and shelving! Very neat and easy to see everything.

You can add open shelves. The problem with exposed storage is that if you're not organized, your space will look unkempt.

Next, consider using pantry organizers. This may seem expensive at the start but if you don't have a carpenter who can actually do everything you need for you, a simple pantry organizer will save you time and trouble. You'd be thankful when you have one.

Finally, when you organize your groceries, have a system. Categorize according to type of food. This will make it easier for you to find things in a snap. Think of it like a bookshop. How do you find the books you like if it isn't arranged according to genre? In the same way, apply this concept and you'll be cooking and enjoying your meals in no time!
