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 System

istockphoto.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 Shelving

amazon.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.

4. Stow Small Appliances

istockphoto.com

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 Susans

containerstore.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.

6. Organize by Expiration Date

istockphoto.com

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 Countertop

istockphoto.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 Shelves

amazon.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 Style

istockphoto.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 Door

containerstore.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.

11. Decorative Kitchen-Facing Door

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 Kitchen

istockphoto.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 Drawers

californiaclosets.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 Overstock

istockphoto.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 Storage

amazon. 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.

16. Store More Spices

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.

17. Cart for Mobile Storage

wayfair.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 Lighting

istockphoto.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 Produce

amazon.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 Nearby

amazon.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).

This creative transitional space was transformed from a very dated layout that did not function well for our homeowners - who enjoy cooking for both their family and friends. They found themselves cooking on a 30" by 36" tiny island in an area that had much more potential. A completely new floor plan was in order. An unnecessary hallway was removed to create additional space and a new traffic pattern. New doorways were created for access from the garage and to the laundry. Just a couple of highlights in this all Thermador appliance professional kitchen are the 10 ft island with two dishwashers (also note the heated tile area on the functional side of the island), double floor to ceiling pull-out pantries flanking the refrigerator, stylish soffited area at the range complete with burnished steel, niches and shelving for storage. Contemporary organic pendants add another unique texture to this beautiful, welcoming, one of a kind kitchen! Photos by David Cobb Photography. nine0007

Barn Door Walk-in Pantry, Transitional Kitchen Remodel

MainStreet Design Build

This beautiful Birmingham, MI home had been renovated prior to our clients purchase, but the style and overall design was not a fit for their family. They really wanted to have a kitchen with a large “eat-in” island where their three growing children could gather, eat meals and enjoy time together. Additionally, they needed storage, lots of storage! We decided to create a completely new space. The original kitchen was a small “L” shaped workspace with the nook visible from the front entry. It was completely closed off to the large vaulted family room. Our team at MSDB re-designed and gutted the entire space. We removed the wall between the kitchen and family room and eliminated existing closet spaces and then added a small cantilevered addition towards the backyard. With the expanded open space, we were able to flip the kitchen into the old nook area and add an extra-large island. The new kitchen includes oversized built in Subzero refrigeration, a 48” Wolf dual fuel double oven range along with a large apron front sink overlooking the patio and a 2nd prep sink in the island. Additionally, we used hallway and closet storage to create a gorgeous walk-in pantry with beautiful frosted glass barn doors. As you slide the doors open the lights go on and you enter a completely new space with butcher block countertops for baking preparation and a coffee bar, subway tile backsplash and room for any kind of storage needed. The homeowners love the ability to display some of the wine they've purchased during their travels to Italy! We did not stop with the kitchen; a small bar was added in the new nook area with additional refrigeration. A brand-new mud room was created between the nook and garage with 12” x 24”, easy to clean, porcelain gray tile floor. The finishing touches were the new custom living room fireplace with marble mosaic tile surround and marble hearth and stunning extra wide plank hand scraped oak flooring throughout the entire first floor. nine0007

Contemporary country Kitchen Renovation

reDesign home | chicago

With tall ceilings, an impressive stone fireplace, and original wooden beams, this home in Glen Ellyn, a suburb of Chicago, had plenty of character and a style that felt coastal. Six months into the purchase of their home, this family of six contacted Alessia Loffredo and Sarah Coscarelli of ReDesign Home to complete their home’s renovation by tackling the kitchen. “Surprisingly, the kitchen was the one room in the home that lacked interest due to a challenging layout between kitchen, butler pantry, and pantry,” the designer shared, “the cabinetry was not proportionate to the space’s large footprint and height. None of the house’s architectural features were introduced into kitchen aside from the wooden beams crossing the room throughout the main floor including the family room.” She moved the pantry door closer to the prepping and cooking area while converting the former butler pantry a bar. Alessia designed an oversized hood around the stove to counterbalance the impressive stone fireplace located at the opposite side of the living space. She then wanted to include functionality, using Trim Tech‘s cabinets, featuring a pair with retractable doors, for easy access, flanking both sides of the range. The client had asked for an island that would be larger than the original in their space – Alessia made the smart decision that if it was to increase in size it shouldn’t increase in visual weight and designed it with legs, raised above the floor. Made out of steel, by Wayward Machine Co., along with a marble-replicating porcelain countertop, it was designed with durability in mind to withstand anything that her client’s four children would throw at it. Finally, she added finishing touches to the space in the form of brass hardware from Katonah Chicago, with similar toned wall lighting and faucet. nine0007

Kitchen with pantry design: storage options

Contents

Kitchen design with pantry

The kitchen often has a special space designed to store dishes or food. It allows you to maintain perfect cleanliness in the room. The kitchen pantry must be properly designed for ease of use and must not detract from the appearance of the room. The exact size and shape depends on what will be stored in a separate room, closet or niche. If you plan to use attractive containers, then you can not install a door, but if the pantry is used to store pet food or unattractive pans, then it is advisable to close its internal contents. nine0003

Basics of space planning

If you are planning a kitchen with storage room , it is recommended that you first create a special project that contains basic information about all the elements in the room. When designing, the following rules are taken into account:

The storeroom is represented by a technical room or a small enclosed space. Therefore, you will have to spend money on finishing materials, and they must be strong, durable and easy to maintain. The ideal choice for this purpose is ceramic or stone tiles, as well as plastic or washable paint.

Construction Rules

Literate kitchen layouts with pantry take into account some rules that allow you to get a multifunctional and convenient housing. These rules include:

Attention! Kitchen pantry can be used to store wine bottles or collectible glassware.

There are many different shelves on the market that are ideal for organizing a pantry. You can use not only expensive and stylish furniture made of natural wood, but also racks made of metal or plastic. Some people prefer to equip this room with different accessories and original products that allow them to get a cozy space. For decoration, you can use bunches of dried herbs or original lids. nine0003

Benefits of a pantry

If you properly think over the design of a kitchen with a pantry and effectively organize the space for storing food, then such a layout will allow you to take advantage of many undeniable advantages. These include:

Attention! Quickly perishable products, represented by milk, kefir, meat or fish, should preferably be stored in the refrigerator.

Ways to organize space

Even if you buy a small kitchen pantry cabinet , you need to use the available space efficiently. To do this, it is important to follow the following tips:
