It is: Depth: 57cm, width: 77cm, and each shelf is 32cm high. There is a bar at the front middle that is 6cm depth and 3cm wide.

I am at a complete loss how to keep the cupboard tidy. TIA :)

You need to go to Lakeland

Put like with like eg all spreads together, all snacks together, all breakfast cereals together and tins together. Find a tupperware/icecream tub to put the snacks in. What's in the plastic bag with orange ribbons - if it's not food, find it a different home.

Please post a pic of your revamped cupboard Smile

yes keep things together. I use open largish boxes / biscuit tins. I keep pastas together, rices together, baking stuff together etc

Pleased with my pantry cupboard - would share a pic but phone broke.

It is a double wall cupboard. On left side it is sweet stuff and bread. So top shelf it is cartoons of juice, any chocolate, sweets and nuts; next is bread stuff and crackers; then tins of rice pudding, custard and fruit plus pots of baking powder, bicarb, syrup and honey; finally plastic containers (from Lakeland) of flours, sugars and dried fruit. Right side has three shelves and is the savoury side (cupboard from Ikea so you can choose and move shelves) top is bottles (vinegars, Worchester sauce, oils etc); middle shelf is rice, pasta, herb and spice overflow, salt n pepper (in a little old Tupperware box with no lid to stop pepper getting everywhere) and stock cubes (I keep them in a little glass kilner jar) then bottom is savoury tins - tomatoes, beans, beans in sauce and fish.

So that is my long winded way of saying group like with like and the stuff you most use at the front, if necessary you can get step things so nothing stays hidden.

I read the Marie Kondo book, she like to store stuff on end so it takes up less space...this is after she has thrown everything away that won't get used or course!

Now I keep stuff in this type of thing, I have several with this lids off, one for packets of spices and baking stuff, another for stocks sauces and things, another for pasta. I also have those fold up shelf things from lakeland.
