FOR YOUR NEW KITCHEN, HERE ARE 8 PANTRY DESIGN IDEAS.

 

There's one element that can completely change how you feel about kitchen storage: a pantry.

Pantries have become staples of every kitchen remodel, however, the design and functionality can be as individual as you want them to be. Whatever the size or shape of your kitchen, there is a pantry design solution for you. Here's what to think about as you peruse kitchen pantry ideas:

Can you make a pantry out of an existing room or closet (or develop one)?

Traditionally, pantries are separate spaces - - and not surprisingly. This gives the absolute most storage and keeps everything close at hand.

If you go with this choice, you can create a custom look based on the sort of door you pick. The paneled glass doors displayed in the image below make it easy to keep a muddled pantry stowed away. Or, you can conceal the fact that you have a pantry at all, like in the second image where the barn door slides to conceal the storage space. As a little something extra, it also doubles as a chalkboard, which is great for doodles, menu planning, weekly schedules, and little love notes.

Can you make use of any unusable area at the moment?

On the off chance that you don't have the room to create a separate pantry space, there are many creative solutions for fitting a kitchen pantry in awkward or unused spaces.

Pantries like the one below that are built-in close to the cooler can make use of dead space and maintain a great workflow in the kitchen (note how the door opens as an afterthought, allowing full use of the refrigerator and pantry at the same time).

Can you make a pantry out of a cabinet area?

We don't simply mean piling canned products into your existing cabinets. Instead, create an actual pantry cabinet that's customized according to your necessities.

You can fill them with a blend of shelves, racks, and drawers in various sizes. Pantry cabinets can also help hold small appliances back from crowding your countertops.

Can cabinets be configured to resemble a pantry?

Get creative with your pantry storage ideas! By combining base drawer cabinets with counter wall cabinets and an appliance garage, you can create the same impact as a pantry. Store canned merchandise at the top, appliances in the garage, and dishes or other pantry things in the drawers.

Can you smuggle cabinets into corners and under counters?

Your kitchen pantry layout doesn't have to be traditional. Assuming you have the counter space to spare, coffee stations and appliances can be taken cover behind closed doors, in that general area at counter level. If you have awkward corners in your kitchen, custom cabinets or open shelving could give a storage solution to display-worthy pantry things.

Can you build a bespoke pantry without affecting the style or layout of your kitchen?

On the off chance that a kitchen renovation isn't in your immediate future, there are other small pantry design ideas to explore. Pantry storage doesn't have to involve cabinets, drawers, and shelves. You can create your pantry-like storage using your existing cabinetry plus new baskets, metal racks, snares, and trays.
