Pantry Shelving
If you have lived in New York City for any amount of time, then you know that finding the right apartment can be difficult. Finding one with ample closet space is even harder. When you do find a place that is in your budget, chances are that the storage space is at a premium. What you need are some resources for closet and pantry shelving that will help you organize those areas to best effect.
Closet Organizers

What you need are closet inserts that help to create ways to store much more in the same amount of space. Custom closets are not as hard to create as you may think, especially if you are willing to invest in the right inserts.
High-end providers like Century Closets carry a line of simple inserts that do not require any hardware to install, and will even help you use them to customize the spaces to perfection. That’s good news, since the landlord will be happy that you aren’t putting more holes in the walls. For your part, the fact that the pieces snap together and can be slid into a height, length and width that will fit the closet’s measurements means that reworking the space will not be difficult.
With the right organizer inserts, you can easily double the amount of space you have for clothing that needs to hang on a rod. The space overhead can be organized in a manner that makes it easy to store accessories and other items that you may only use seasonally or once in a while. Once the framework is in place, you’ll be surprised at how much you can comfortably fit into such a small space.
How About the Pantry?
The kitchen pantry shelving and cabinetry are two more areas where you need to make the most of what you have. Like the closet, it is possible to purchase inserts that do not require any type of structural changes. That means when you do move to another place, it’ll be easy to remove the pantry shelving inserts and take them with you.
In the interim, those pantry shelving inserts will make it much easier to arrange the canned goods so that you get more in a smaller amount of space. Think of all the wasted room you have after stacking a line of canned goods on a shelf. With the right pantry shelving inserts, you’ll be able to convert that wasted room into usable storage for more cans.
Best of all, the pantry shelving inserts make it easy to keep the canned goods organized. You’ll never have to move cans out of the way in order to get to that can of cream of chicken soup that is hiding in the back of one of you pantry shelves.
Keep in mind that the investment in those closet and pantry shelving inserts will make it much easier to keep your smaller space organized. Every time that you reach into the closet to pull out a scarf or belt, and each time that you reach into the pantry and immediately find what you want, you’ll be a little happier about the time and effort you spent in choosing the right inserts for those spaces.
