A handy feature of a well-designed kitchen is a pantry. If you have a smaller kitchen, fitting one in can be a challenge. However, by being creative, you can still have an organized and beautifully designed storage space. Discover the best places to fit a pantry in your home from trusted kitchen remodelers.
Standalone Cabinet
You don’t need a full set of cabinets on the wall for your pantry. An alternative is a single cabinet that is either a standalone unit or built-in. With this option, you can have a pantry without occupying the entire wall. This feature can also be the focal point of your kitchen because it is contrasting other cabinets.
In an Adjacent Room
Do you have a breakfast nook or den that your family does not use often? Why not convert the extra room into a pantry? This kitchen renovation project makes sense if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen and cook a lot. If you have a lot of space, you can even add a sink in the pantry.
In an Old Closet Space
Some kitchens have a nearby closet that is used for storing cleaning supplies. You can convert this space into a pantry by installing several shelves and drawers. If you’re someone who loves to cook or have a large family, you’ll find using this storage space as a pantry more useful.
At the End of a Galley Kitchen
A tall cabinet at one end of the kitchen is an ideal solution for a wide kitchen or a compact one with no place for a pantry. This layout forms an attractive symmetry with a tall cabinet at the other end for other appliances.
In a Niche
If you only have a little space to spare in your kitchen, consider building a niche for storing your cooking essentials. During your kitchen remodel, your contractor may be able to find an empty wall cavity that you can convert into storage. The niche can be covered by standard cabinet doors or made into open shelving.
