Our pantries are function-oriented areas, but that doesn't mean the storage solutions and containers we keep inside them should skimp on style. If you're looking to upgrade your pantry food storage game, consider vessels that not only streamline your system and keep dried foods fresh, but also add to the visual appeal of the space.

Before you choose new storage containers for your pantry, set your sights on the area just beyond it: What are some of your favorite aesthetic details in your kitchen? Maybe it's your stoneware cookware, stainless-steel appliances, or quartzite countertop. Draw on these details as you begin shopping for pantry containers, and you'll quickly discover if you gravitate more towards glass, wood, marble, or ceramic iterations to keep anything from spices to pasta noodles tucked neatly away.

Instead of keeping your baking ingredients, like flour or sugar, in their original packaging, decant them into sleek, air-tight containers like these. Doing so also makes these items easier to access when you bake, thanks to the vessels' wide mouths and built-in stainless-steel scoops.

If you want to upgrade your pantry's storage solutions, these textured, matte vessels are just what you need. Though the collection is available in a mixed set of five, you can shop each neutral piece individually if you only need a few or require specific sizes (which range from extra-small to extra-large).

These woven fabric baskets have double handles, so you can easily move them in and out of your pantry. We suggest filling them with like items (think groups of pastas, grains, or canned goods) or creating mini capsules (like a baking kit) for optimal use. And if you're extra short on space? Don't fret—these baskets are also stackable.

Designed perfectly for pantry storage, these clear vessels ensure every ingredient is visible, which cuts down time during meal prep (no rummaging necessary!). Their wave-textured glass design and mango wooden lids—which seal out excess air to keep the items stored inside fresh—are also visually beautiful.

Bring some retro appeal to your kitchen with this whole grain dispenser. The vintage-inspired container is ideal for storing dried beans, oats, corn, or rice. You can put up to six different items (that amount to 20 pounds total) into the moisture- and dust-free container.

You'll find small, medium, and large canisters in this stackable set, made of handcrafted borosilicate glass. Each container comes with a grained ash wooden lid, so you can store your favorite dry goods, like pasta or rice, and keep them fresh.

If you love uniform storage solutions that reduce visual clutter, consider this stoneware set. The six identical canisters are pre-labeled for snacks, cookies, flour, sugar, tea, and coffee. Their sleek white exterior ensures they'll fit into several design schemes and look ultra sleek when displayed on a single shelf.

These attractive, shiny containers are made of durable premium stainless steel, melding form and function. Their narrow glass windows give you a peek at the goods inside each one.

The four chic glass canisters in this collection are set apart by their wooden lids with leather loops. The varied container sizes (small, medium, large, and extra-large) ensure that there is an option for a myriad of pantry goods, from dried peppers to lentils.

If you're looking for a versatile basket to store all of your snack foods, consider this iteration, which comes with a removable acacia wood insert (this prevents smaller items from slipping between the cracks). You have a few colorways to choose from, such as brass and spruce green, so you can pick the one that best suits your pantry's design scheme.

It's easy to confuse this ceramic food storage jar for a vase—and if you remove the lid, it doubles as a tiny one. Its airtight seal, however, makes it better for holding nuts, preserves, and more.
