25 Kitchen Pantry Ideas for an Ideal Kitchen Storage

1. Reach in Pantry for Modular Kitchen

A reach-in pantry narrows your shelves to a trimmer space, generally a closet with the shelves taking up the whole area. This is a wonderful resort for houses with restricted space or for people who do not want a lot of extra storage. A perk of these types of pantry shelving is that all items are more organised and easily accessible.

 

Multiple reach-in pantries in the kitchen can be incorporated into existing kitchen cabinetry; while some have kitchen storage drawers others lack doors totally and consist of a row of pantry shelving which is mounted on a single wall.  There are an infinite number of types of reach-in pantries, and they are always the best option when the space is limited.

There exist many design options for a kitchen pantry cabinet. You can use shelving designed exclusively for contents, inserts to help maximise storage capacity, pull out pantry cabinet for easy access, a corner pantry cabinet or a floor pantry.

6. Pull Out Pantry

For those who do not have the luxury of devoting a whole room or cabinet to a pantry in kitchen, then a pull out kitchen pantry unit is your best bet. They are extremely beneficial because of their space-saving capabilities.  A pull out kitchen pantry unit can be fitted into pre-existing kitchen cabinets. Hence, they integrate with the kitchen design perfectly. Pull-out pantries are further advantageous because they make it effortless to find, stock, and view kitchen supplies.

7. Tall Pantry Unit

Having a tall modular kitchen pantry unit with open shelving and cabinetry elevates the room's storage capacity while introducing furniture-style elegance. When using deeper shelves, enrol baskets or shelf dividers to organise storage items.

 

8. Recessed Pantry Design Unit

The built-in look of a recessed-panel modular kitchen pantry cabinet offers appealing, out-of-sight pantry storage. A recessed pantry design matches the other cabinetry for a put-together look.

 

9. Built-in Pantry

A built-in modular kitchen pantry cabinet is a customised kind of pantry unit that can be integrated into the architectural design of a kitchen. These types of pantry counters offer a chance to create a unique kitchen feature that accents the design style and layout of the home.

12. Pantry Shelving Ideas

In a walk-in pantry in kitchen, open shelving is the perfect solution for this, allowing you to see what you have straightaway. If you don't have space for a walk-in, consider getting a joiner to fit bespoke shelving into an alcove to create a small kitchen pantry area. If you are looking for flexibility in the layout of your pantry then consider wire racking which is lightweight and can be easily repositioned.

13. Cubby-style Pantry

If you label your food items, you can easily organise your kitchen pantry and keep it that way. Pantry cabinets fit together to form cubby-style pantry layouts with room for both bulk and day-to-day items in one convenient location. External boxes and small bins are comfortable to take with you into the kitchen and help cut down on numerous trips back and forth.

 

14. Compact Pantry Ideas

A compact yet deep pantry stores food items and small electric appliances in easy access. Rolling drawers allow a convenient reach to otherwise hard-to-reach items. The compact small kitchen pantry style permits it to blend with the kitchen while keeping food and appliances out of vision.

 

15. Hidden Pantry Ideas

An out-of-sight pantry is a perfect option to keep your kitchen elegant and clutter-free. With the door closed, the space feels almost like a panelled room. Despite being tucked away, the pantry maintains the kitchen design.

 

16. DIY Pantry Ideas

Any furniture can be repurposed into a DIY modular kitchen pantry unit. Adding rows of deep shelves, a glass pantry unit with doors offers ample storage for food as well as kitchen essentials.

 

17. Closed Pantry Ideas

A larder-style option is a good choice if you are inclined towards a closed pantry unit. This freestanding idea will give you oodles of pantry storage space. Vary the heights of the shelving so you can keep taller things together and vice versa, and leave a space at the bottom for other boxes and baskets.

18. Bold Coloured Pantry Ideas

As the new hero of your kitchen, a pantry shouldn't be hidden away with dull colours, it deserves all the praise. Pink, sage green, white, wooden finish and neutral shades like black and grey are a dreamy choice to begin with. Soft pastel shades also enhance the beauty of the pantry and perfectly organised cupboards.

 

19. Pantry Lighting

Much forgotten but a significant game-changer in a pantry is the lighting. A modular kitchen design calls for detailed consideration when it comes pantry unit lighting. Lighting shelving from behind looks gorgeous and ensures nothing gets lost at the back. The choice of door design can also impact lighting control. For solid doors, lighting on automatic sensors is more practical.’

20. Pantry Under Staircase

The underneath of a staircase is often believed to be “dead space,” making it a favourite space to create extra storage when working on organisation. Whether you go for basic open shelves or the more elaborate pull out pantry, building a pantry tucked beneath a stairway makes the most of this unused space.

 

21. Pantry Storage in Kitchen Island

Keeping day-to-day staples and other bulky crockery items in deep, easy-to-pull-out island drawers means you can bid adieu to lifting a dangerous pile of plates up into a cupboard. Ensure your pantry design can take a decent amount of weight, and that the drawers are deep enough to store larger pots and pans if required.

22. Open Shelves as Kitchen Pantry

A modular kitchen pantry unit doesn’t always have to be hidden behind a door for articles that you may want to have easy access to. Dishes and glassware can make an appealing display and can be located easily for frequent use. Lighting can be installed to illuminate the items.

23. Kitchen Pantry Décor Ideas

  • Use a bold coloured wallpaper choice alongside your kitchen pantry to make a style statement.
  • Pantries can often be housed in a windowless space, to combat this, choose light coloured tiles or paint colour to help to bounce the light around.
  • Use a mix of materials for a stylish space. Wooden, marble countertop and backsplash are a good choice.
  • The pantry ceiling can have a glossy finish and don’t forget the floor pantry, patterned tiles would look amazing for this.

  • Space: Measure and assign space to meet your needs
  • Style: Unify the pantry style, design and adjacent space with coordinated colours, finishes and materials.
  • Features: Light it up with a ceiling fixture, floor —a pendant can be pretty—or rechargeable puck lights with motion sensors. Organise by storing smaller items on organisers like lazy Susans and tiered shelf inserts.
