Pantries

Buy in bulk and store with ease with a pantry unit, complete with your choice of shelving:

Fixed shelf pantry
Pullout pantry
Foldout pantry
Rollout pantry
Other

Opt for long cabinet pulls—they double as dishtowel hangers.
Store sponges and small cleaning items in a tiltout panel in front of the sink.
Consolidate spices on an inner door rack. To simplify further, alphabetize them for easy retrieval.
Save space by storing trays and baking sheets in vertical dividers.
Display dishware in a plate rack above the sink to add color and clean-up convenience.
Free up valuable cabinet space by storing infrequently used items (like holiday dishes or juicers) in a pantry or nearby closet space.
Keep what you do use at easy reach—22 to 72 inches above the floor is recommended.

“In a small kitchen, when we can’t find space for a pantry, we create one by placing the refrigerator on the kitchen’s far side so that one side is exposed. Instead of a side panel, we put a tall pantry against the exposed side, giving the homeowner a full range of eight feet of adjustable shelves that are a foot to 18 inches deep. It’s important to put a toetick on both the front and side. A pair of doors tends to be awkward, so we hinge one door on the wall side, so that the pantry opens wide toward a nearby counter.”
