What Is A Pantry?

A pantry is a cabinet or a separate space specifically designed or used to store food. Storing food in a kitchen is often an overlooked detail that is critically important for effective kitchen design. It is great to have all of one’s dishes and cutlery neatly organized in cabinets and drawers, but the storage or dried goods, canned goods, spices and condiments is fundamental to the purpose of a kitchen: cooking. A pantry can be a walk-in or a built-in one depending on how much space you have.

What Is A Built-In Pantry?

Cabinets that are built-in pantries will typically be taller than normal base cabinets. They will include a varying number of shelves, but most pantries may include additional gadgetry to increase their usability such as lazy Susan’s or internal drawers. If one finds that their current cabinetry run does not provide enough food storage and the remaining kitchen space is quite limited, then it is best to consider a pantry specifically designed for corner placement as this is a space in most rooms that is often wasted. Pantry cabinets come in many different styles, colors, and materials that can add beauty and value to your kitchen. A built-in cabinet pantry is a great way to add storage without being bulky while a wall pantry can have many different storage options such as sliding or adjustable shelving. Consider not only usual cabinet doors but also sliding ones or a large barn door, they will make access easier, though you won’t have shelves on sliding doors.
