20 Walk In Pantry Ideas You’ll Want to Copy
istockphoto.com
Let’s face it: kitchen cupboards and countertops only have so much room. For foodies, families, bulk shoppers, and kitchen gadget lovers, a walk-in pantry can be a real lifesaver. This small room offers extra storage for canned goods, dry foods, beverages, snacks, and kitchen supplies.
It’s time to beautify this storage space and maximize its usefulness with better pantry organization and storage. Your walk-in pantry is a good investment. Many homeowners want a walk-in pantry—it’s something you can enjoy now, and benefit from later if you ever decide to sell your home.
Keep reading for our 20 walk-in pantry ideas to help keep your kitchen clutter-free.
1. Wrap-Around Shelving Systemistockphoto.com
Looking for walk-in pantry shelving ideas? Organize your walk-in pantry with a shelving system that gives everything a place. When you know exactly where to find what you’re looking for, you don’t waste time looking for a particular item and you avoid re-buying items you already have. Better organization instantly makes a pantry look nicer and makes more efficient use of the vertical space that’s available. It’s a practical investment that enables you to store heavy or seldom-used items on lower shelves, and more commonly used items within arm’s reach.
2. Pocket Door
istockphoto.com
Doors on hinges may do home chefs a disservice. Unless a door is closed, it takes up more room than it needs to. This walk-in pantry idea is to swap out a traditional door with a pocket door, enabling you to keep the doorway clear without a doorstop. With a door that simply slides out of the way, you can quickly pop in and out of the pantry while preparing a meal.
3. Stand-Alone Wire Shelvingamazon.com
Built-in shelving looks beautiful in a walk-in pantry, but it can be a little pricey. Small or narrow walk-in pantries may not require all-around shelving, and a standalone unit works very nicely, offering extra storage in a small space.
A wire shelving rack is easier to keep clean as well, as any crumbs or spice spills tend to slip through gaps and down to the floor. A quick dust and sweep keeps these shelves and the pantry looking their best. These sturdy, highly rated wire shelves are available on Amazon.

How often do you use your rice cooker or electric mixer? If it’s not an item you use daily, it’s cluttering up your countertop or taking up valuable space in your kitchen cupboards. Relocate these small appliances to a dedicated space in your pantry instead. People who have kitchens with walk-in pantries will find this idea to be a fantastic storage solution for all your kitchen gadgets that need a home.

5. Lazy Susanscontainerstore.com
Spice jars, cooking oils, sprinkles, and other smaller bottles and containers can get lost on a jam-packed shelf.
Rather than having to pull out multiple jars, cans, and bottles to get to the product you need, make your walk-in pantry more user-friendly by displaying smaller items on a lazy susan. Rotate the turntable to swiftly locate and pull out the item you need without moving other items out of the way first. These lazy susans are available from The Container Store.

First in, first out is how restaurants and grocery stores stock their perishables. Putting older items in front of, or on top of, newer packages of the same goods ensures you’re using up the products that expire first. This type of organization saves money and generates less waste as it encourages you to use up an open package before opening a new one. Sorting your walk-in pantry this way also makes it more efficient to clean out, as you know the items on top expire first.
7. Narrow Countertopistockphoto.com
For walk-in pantries that have the space, a narrow countertop is a convenience you won’t want to be without.
It also looks sharp, making your pantry resemble a kitchenette.
A countertop offers you a place for small kitchen appliances that may not be used every day, like toasters or espresso machines. It’s also a terrific place to collect and sort your items before bringing them into the kitchen, and it gives you a place to put grocery bags full of pantry supplies.
8. Cover Shelvesamazon.com
An affordable and easy way to freshen up the appearance of a walk-in pantry is to use a shelf liner or cover. Not just aesthetically pleasing, shelf liners can be practical too, offering a nonslip grip for your pantry items.
If you’re apt to frequently change up the look in your pantry, selecting a shelf cover that’s non-adhesive makes it easy to swap out different designs or materials. Adhesive laminate shelf liners, like this highly rated option available on Amazon, easily wipe clean with a damp cloth and brighten up the shelf space in the pantry.
9. Carry Over Your Kitchen Styleistockphoto.
com
Think of your walk-in pantry as an extension of your kitchen. Creating a cohesive style that flows from your kitchen into the pantry makes a home look more elegant (and the pantry doesn’t look like an afterthought). Use the same colors, tiles, cupboards, handles, or lighting fixtures to tie the two rooms together. When your pantry reflects the same style, you’ll want to leave the door open to show off its beauty.

10. Use the Back of the Doorcontainerstore.com
Being smart about the available space you have in your walk-in pantry means you look at all opportunities for storage—especially if the pantry is compact. If you don’t have a pocket door for the pantry, there’s usable storage space on the back of the door.
This can be a great place to add some hooks for aprons or install a door rack, which turns the area behind the door into functional space. Install this over-the-door rack from The Container Store to help fit everything you need into the pantry.
homedepot.com
You’ve heard of a statement wall, but what about a statement door? Add some extra charm to the pantry with a decorative door to make it stand out from closet and washroom doors. Decorative doors come in a variety of styles and sizes, so before ordering a door, make sure it fits the doorway (also ensure you order a door that has the hardware on the correct side). One of our favorite decorative pantry doors is this one from The Home Depot.
12. Build a Closet in the Kitchenistockphoto.com
A kitchen with wasted space is a sign that an overhaul is needed. If there’s a nook, corner, or even unused space under the stairs, it can be converted into a kitchen closet, or a modest kitchen pantry. If you’re a serious DIYer, you can build a frame, install the drywall, attach the door, and all the little steps in between over a few days.
13. Cabinets and Drawerscaliforniaclosets.
com
Shelving is practical, but cabinetry elevates the appearance of a walk-in pantry. Adding doors or drawers makes the pantry look less cluttered, while leaving your food supplies and kitchen gadgets easily accessible. Cabinetry that matches or complements the style in the kitchen creates a cohesive aesthetic through the home. The cabinets in the above photo are available from California Closets.
14. Don’t Overstockistockphoto.com
One of the great joys of a pantry is its visual nature. When preparing your grocery list, a well-organized pantry makes it easy to take stock of what you need and what you’re running low on. Organization reduces overspending and buying more than you require. Though pantries offer additional storage space, they still have limitations. Avoid stuffing your pantry with multiples of the same item to keep your pantry neat and clutter-free.
15. Clear, Stackable Food Storageamazon.com
Airtight containers help keep food, spices, and baking supplies fresh.
Investing in clear, stackable food storage containers is a worthwhile investment for two big reasons. One, you can see exactly how much of a particular item you have and can add any low-stock items to your grocery list. Two, stacking containers make the most of the space you have available while keeping the stacked items stable and secure. We like these highly rated OXO containers, available on Amazon.
etsy.com
A true home chef has a vast collection of seasonings and spices to make their food memorable. But the one drawback of having so many flavors in a kitchen is having enough space for them. Storing every spice in a cupboard makes it tedious to find the one you’re looking for. Spices should be stored in a specialty spice rack so you can always find the seasoning you need. Midwest Classic Crafts’ door-mounted spice rack on Etsy enables you to store dozens of spice bottles in a convenient location in the pantry.

Cart for Mobile Storagewayfair.com
A versatile cart levels up your walk-in pantry game. Load it up with the items you need from the pantry to avoid going back and forth from the kitchen, use it as a serving caddy, or even as a makeshift drink cart when guests are over. There are a multitude of ways a pantry cart adds value and convenience to your home, and it’s one classy addition to your next dinner party. This sleek kitchen cart is available on Wayfair.
18. Ensure Adequate Lightingistockphoto.com
Dingy pantry lighting really puts a damper on this space. If you’re squinting to read labels, or it’s too dark to tell if the room is clean or dirty, it’s time to revamp the lighting in the pantry. It may be as simple as changing to a brighter bulb, or perhaps the entire fixture should be replaced with a stylish and bright ceiling light. Spending a little money to improve the lighting makes a tremendous difference in the pantry’s appearance.
19.
Corral Fresh Produceamazon.com
Having a supply of fresh produce on hand makes it easier to grab a healthy snack. Instead of overflowing the kitchen fruit bowl, store extra vegetables and fruit in the pantry. When you shop for groceries, bring along reusable produce bags to eliminate the need for plastic, and use these bags to store your bounty of produce neatly in the walk-in pantry (without the apples and oranges rolling away). You can find these reusable mesh produce bags on Amazon.
20. Keep a Step Ladder Nearbyamazon.com
Home chefs come in all sizes, and let’s face it, some of those higher shelves are even out of reach for tall folks. When you make the most of your pantry space, your shelving and storage may put some items up high. Tucking a small step ladder into the corner of your walk-in pantry ensures you’re always able to reach what you need. We like this Delxo aluminum ladder from Amazon because it has a high weight capacity, stability, and it only weighs 9 pounds.

Welcome to our walk-in kitchen pantry design collection.
There are 2 main types of kitchen pantries. They are:
First, there are walk-in pantries, which is usually what people mean when they refer to a pantry. It’s a designated room off the kitchen used for storing dry goods, appliances and anything else typically used in the kitchen.
The second type is a built-in pantry which is in the kitchen and is a floor to ceiling set of cupboards designed for storing dry goods.

Simple or Luxurious
Like many rooms, a pantry can be simple with basic wire shelving or it can be luxurious with custom built-in cabinetry, nice lighting, and top-flight flooring.
While luxurious is nice, having even a bare-bones pantry is a super nice too. Storage of any type is a premium feature.
You want good lighting that does not get in the way. Recessed lighting is a very good option because it can be bright and it doesn’t hang down so you won’t whack your head on anything.
What should you store in a kitchen pantry?
That’s the beauty of it. You store whatever you like. Most people use it for dry-goods storage. But you can also store small appliances or anything else.
Best location?
If you have the option, you want to place your pantry right off your kitchen. We have a walk-in pantry, but it’s down a small flight of stairs (we live in a split-level) so it’s a hassle to get to. Don’t get me wrong, we love having it, but in a perfect world it would be right off the kitchen.
Open or closed shelving?
I strongly recommend open shelving. This makes it so much easier to place items away and find them. It also allows you to place more cabinetry in a tighter space because you don’t have to account for swinging cupboard doors.
How much space should you place in between shelves?
It really depends on what you plan to store. If you’re into canning, for instance, and you plan to only store smallish cans/jars, you can get away with 6″ to 10″ in between shelves. However, if you’re going to store larger containers, you’ll want at least 12″ or even more in between the shelves.
Adjustable height shelving is best
One thing to consider is using an adjustable height shelving system. This way as your needs change you can adjust your shelving spacing. We don’t have this, but it would be a very nice feature to have.
Worth the expense?
Yes, absolutely a pantry is worth the expense and cost in space. A cluttered kitchen is not fun to work and it can be frustrating to not have sufficient storage for food and/or small appliances.
With a properly planned pantry, you can ensure you always have plenty of food on hand for any occasion making your weekly shopping a bit easier because you need only get fresh food (milk, eggs, meat, veggies and fruit).

Pantry in an apartment: 95 design photos of a small pantry in an apartment and in a house, ideas for a pantry in the kitchen
Pantry is an essential attribute of a kitchen where people often cook a lot. Whether it's a small enclosed area, a deep closet, or a modest section, it's important to organize storage so that the right groceries and kitchen utensils are always at hand. If you add a bit of aesthetics to a competent organization, the pantry in the house (pictured) has every chance of becoming a worthy continuation of the interior, and not just a utilitarian room. Choosing the design of a small closet in the apartment - a photo selection from Houzz will help with this.
To view an article where we have collected the best storage room ideas, we recommend that you click on the first photo and go to full screen mode.
On some photos you will find green labels that contain additional information about the items used in this interior. The captions describe the project, methods and materials.

1. Under the stairs
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary pantry is hiding behind the neat light green facades. But if you look closely, it becomes clear that the design of the pantry in the apartment in the photo masks the space under the stairs.

29. Ladder with insurance
If the upper shelves of the pantry are difficult to reach, you will have to use a ladder. In this project, it is fixed on the top shelf and moves freely along the railing - this eliminates the risk that the ladder will fall at the most inopportune moment.
30. Floating look

79. Filling to the max
This storage system looks truly massive thanks to the clever organization of drawers, but if you close all the fronts, it turns out that it does not take up much space.

80. Pantry inside and out
Despite the fact that in this house a separate room was provided for the pantry, storage systems appeared outside it too - a ladder attached to the railing helps to get to the upper shelves.
81. A stool to help
However, an ordinary stool will also help you get to the upper shelves. Moreover, open shelves allow you to quickly locate the desired item.

87. At different depths
In this pantry, the lower drawers and the upper shelves have different depths: thanks to this technique, a small multi-tiered shelf was fixed on the inner surface of the door.

88. In all directions
Storage systems do not have to be arranged linearly or allocate an entire room for storage: in this project, it is more like a decorative pylon, and laconic facades do not draw attention to the drawers.

89. Useful sidewalls
Not only the front but also the side “works” for this cabinet: shallow shelves are placed on it behind a conventional hinged door.
90. Behind the bookcase
An elegant and unusual solution: the entrance to the pantry is framed by bookshelves, and thanks to glass doors and a transom, natural light enters the room.

91. Slate wall
The pantry is a place where you can indulge in experiments like a slate wall and at the same time hedge your memory - for example, write down a recipe or a shopping list.

Spacious kitchen closet - functional storage ideas
None of the rooms so needs a spacious pantry as the kitchen. If a family has a tradition of cooking at home, dozens and hundreds of little things are stored in the kitchen, and each of them should have its own place.
The original closets, which came to us from foreign interiors, help to cope with this task. They can accommodate not only dishes, but also food supplies, small household appliances, baking dishes and other important things. And most importantly, in modern headsets, the closet-pantry is designed so that everything is easy to reach with your hand.
Closet in the kitchen - choose the layout and place
Any closet-pantry requires free space, so this solution is best suited for a large kitchen. However, there is one secret: in an average room, you can use the space that usually remains underused. For example, a corner closet would be a great solution - it will not make the room cramped. An example of such a layout is demonstrated by the Anna kitchen (Giulia Novars), where the entire corner is occupied by a tall cabinet.
There may be other solutions:
- place a not too wide, but long storage cabinet along one of the walls;
- split a narrow room into a kitchen (closer to the entrance) and a pantry;
- make the most of the space under the ceiling for storing groceries and things that are not needed every day.
In a word, the layout can be anything. In square kitchens, it is convenient to use the corner, and in long and narrow ones, you can use the far part by hiding the passage to it behind the cabinet door. In this case, one room is actually divided into two parts, and the pantry turns into a separate room, which is especially convenient for people who like to store homemade preparations, dried berries, mushrooms and herbs.
Spacious closet in a kitchen set - ideas, photos, examples
Consider the most popular layout options for these large cabinets. Despite all the diversity, they are united by one thing - a functional, ergonomic interior with drawers, pull-out systems, containers, a wine cellar, etc.
The times when only shelves could be hidden behind the cabinet door are long gone. With all the advantages of a simple design, an ordinary shelf has a big disadvantage: not all of its contents can be covered at a glance. As a rule, in order to get a jar or a bottle from a far corner, you have to take out all the other items.
Pull-out systems, voluminous containers and drawers with internal partitions easily solve this problem and make the pantry really convenient.
Kitchen with corner cabinet and pantry
One of the most interesting solutions for the kitchen is when the pantry is located in a separate room with a passage hidden behind the cabinet door. At the same time, the kitchen and pantry are not always separated by a real wall, sometimes a closet acts as a separator. This happens when you need to separate a place for storing food and household items in a narrow long room. You can see how such a solution looks like on the example of Alea Matt kitchen (Schüller).
The "secret room" behind the cabinet door in this case is a small wine cellar and a pantry with numerous sections. It allows you to properly organize storage and not clutter up the kitchen with extra drawers, racks, etc. An additional plus is that such a pantry will be a place where you can sort food, store household chemicals, garden tools.
High corner cupboard
If it is not possible to allocate an entire room for a pantry, you can arrange it in a free corner of a large kitchen. This option is offered by the Biella (Schüller) model with a high corner cabinet to the ceiling. In this case, the closet contains not only storage systems, but also built-in household appliances, and a magnetic board is fixed on its smooth facade. The result was a multifunctional design that made it possible to hide kitchen utensils and give the interior an elegant conciseness.
Drawer cabinet
Pull-out cabinets are also very popular today, which also make it possible to create a laconic design without unnecessary details. Behind the sleek touch-on fronts are large drawers and shelving with bottle holders and small bins. It is convenient to get everything you need from such storage systems without bending over or looking into the depth of the shelves. Constructions of this type are demonstrated by the Nika kitchen (Giulia Novars).
Another set with retractable elements, in which there is a place for every little thing, is the Nova model (Schüller). On such ergonomic shelves near the cutting table it is convenient to store spices and small kitchen tools. While cooking, everything will be at hand! And, unlike traditional open shelves, storage systems of this type do not violate the integrity of the interior and do not crush the space.
In the Nova model, you should also pay attention to another feature of the cabinet - the active use of the back of the door. As a rule, this surface remains empty, but in modern headsets, every centimeter of area can be useful. On the door with small shelves it is convenient to store cereals, sauces and other non-perishable products that are needed every day.
Wall closet
In addition to all kinds of corner structures, linear kitchens, where the furniture is located along the walls, are still relevant. The storage closet in this case will not be too deep, but it can have an impressive length and height up to the ceiling.
