While pantries have existed in one shape or form for centuries, it’s only relatively recently that they’ve been consistently incorporated with modern kitchen designs.
Pantries are incredibly useful as they provide much needed storage for dry goods, oversized cookware and canned foods, among other items.
Here we examine some of the different styles of kitchen pantry designs used in homes today, as well as some tips to ensure they are functional for even the little ones in the family.
Wall pantry
A wall pantry is a cabinet that is 24-inches deep. Whether above or below, it can be built with adjustable shelving, pullout doors or drawers. Often a wall pantry will be placed next to a fridge, wall oven or built-in microwave to frame the outer edges of the kitchen and to minimize countertop interruptions. Wall pantries are great because they can pack a large amount of items into a small area. Designs that integrate pullouts or drawers are the most functional as you won’t lose small objects in the back due to their pullout nature.
