Create A Walk-In Pantry

A walk-in pantry is a great option, it will take more time and effort to build than just building in some drawers but still it’s a great idea. You don’t have to plan it beforehand but better do as there are many factors to consider while building in such a pantry. Make open shelving or build in some shelves and storage units. Ledges can be also an option if you don’t have much space or wanna use every inch. Kitchen cabinetry can be a cool idea here, too, and it will match your kitchen look, though it’s often too bulky for such small pantries.

Organize Well

Organization is the key in a small space, and here you will need to squeeze maximum of your space. Use boxes, baskets and cubbies, make the space more stylish rocking matching glass and plastic containers and jars. Add labels and even a ladder if needed. Try not to clutter your pantry, especially if it’s small, otherwise it will be quite difficult to find something there.

Light Up

Light is very important in a small pantry, as it can be really hard to find a thing you need in a small space, especially if there’s not enough light. Go for LED lights on the shelving for a seamless look, for built-in lights and small wall lamps and lights to save floor and shelf space. The more light you have, the easier and comfier your pantry will be.

Choose A Right Door

A sliding door will be the best idea for such a pantry but you may also go for regular and even French doors that will add chic to the space. The main idea is to avoid opening your door inside as the space is already very small. The door can be almost hidden to make your space and pantry look seamless. You may also add some storage units, ledges and shelves on the door if it’s not a sliding one. Get inspired!
