Kitchen Pantry Design
Few additions to a kitchen that make more sense than a food pantry. A food pantry is simply an extra room or storage space dedicated to storage of everything cereal boxes to canned goods. And when it comes to saving cabinet space, a pantry can be an absolute godsend.
Pantry Design
If you are looking for a way to maximize kitchen space installing a food pantry is one of the wisest decisions you can make. Where a lot of homeowners go wrong is in the conceptual phases of designing their pantry. Too often the pantry is relegated to a cramped closet. Incorporating a few innovative designs into your food pantry can be the difference between a dark, cluttered, storage area and an accessible and attractive kitchen addition.
Accessibility is Key
When designing a pantry don’t just think of storage. If that were all you needed, a closet stacked with shelves would do just fine. An ideal pantry makes organizing your food goods and kitchen items easy and accessing them simple. Think about a more open and accessible food panty for your new kitchen.
Avoid Building a Cave
One of the biggest pantry mistakes is building a deep, narrow, pantry space. These might be great storage areas, but they are unattractive and inconvenient when it comes to preparing meals and putting away groceries. Incorporating a narrow, accessible pantry into your kitchen, covered with attractive sliding, or folding, slatted doors, is the perfect solution. Your food storage items will be hidden from sight, but all you’ll have to do is slide open the doors and you’ll easily find what you’re looking for.
Custom Cabinetry
A narrow closet covered with folding closet doors is a fine solution for many kitchens, but if your kitchen remodel is of the dream variety, consider customized cabinetry. A full wall custom cabinet design fitted with rotating shelves, storage shelves on the cabinet doors will serve you well and look great at the same time.
Space is Always Important
Of course, not everybody has the space to incorporate a full food pantry into their kitchen design. For those homeowners struggling to optimize the space they do have, think about adding cabinetry that doubles a food pantry. Lazy Susans, rotating cabinets and pull out shelving can add plenty of space to a cramped kitchen. No matter what your pantry needs, there’s a solution for you.
