Creative Food Storage Solutions

One of the biggest problems I hear about when it comes to food storage is where to put a years worth of food, when your crammed into a tiny apartment and feel like there is barely any room as it is already. I am here to tell you there is a plethora of ideas out on the web to creatively store your food, without it having to be "in your face" to visitors and your family. Here are some ideas from me, followed by pictures from around the web to creatively store your food in small spaces.


  • Re-think your spaces often there is unused space in our homes that could be utilized for storage.
  • Under cribs, or children's beds or bunk beds - if its full of food there won't be room for toys to get shoved under there anymore, which would solve 2 problems at the same time.
  • Under your bed - You can purchase risers for it to make it even higher or to get your bed off the floor.
  • Have a bar in your kitchen but no bar stools? You can stack buckets underneath it up to 2 high. 
  • Have space under a staircase? Use it!
  • Pull out your couch a foot or two and stack buckets 2 high behind it, place a board over the top and cover with a table cloth or runner and use the board to put decor like pictures and such. 
  • Floor space on closet floors A lot of times we have things hanging but not much on the floor, put boxes of #10 cans or buckets in the closet on the floor. 
  • Put hanging organizers on the backs of doors to put in storage items like toothpaste, bucket wrenches, first aid supplies and the like.
