When it comes to kitchen organization, a custom pantry is an exceptional feature you’re sure to love. In fact, kitchen storage simply isn’t the same without one. You can design a pantry that meets all your storage needs to enhance the functionality of your kitchen. If you’ve got the space, we can help you create a pantry that is custom designed for your household.
Siting Your Pantry
Pantries come in various shapes and sizes. Some homeowners choose to transform a closet into a pantry while others opt for built in cabinetry that fulfills then pantry needs. A walk-in pantry is ideal as it offers plenty of space for dry foods as well as other kitchen items along with multiple storage features. We can help you expand an existing pantry or build one from scratch. Once we site the pantry, we can create a design plan that suits your storage needs and also enhances the function of your kitchen.
Materials Selection
When it comes to selecting materials for your pantry, you have lots of options. You can build with high-end materials like hard wood or take a more economical route and choose sturdy but less expensive wood and even stainless steel shelving. Using reclaimed wood and other recycled materials is also a great way to create an affordable design. We always recommend that people take time to look at completed pantries to generate ideas for their own project.
Design
Your pantry design is dependent on the space you can set aside for its construction. You can create a floor-to-ceiling design or one that features stairs for a bi-level design. Depending on the amount of room you have to play with, you might even wish to install a countertop for setting groceries atop or a built-in wine rack and wine cooler. We can help you design a space that meets your shelving needs for foodstuffs, baking ware, pots and pans, and so much more.
Considerations
While most pantries feature a multitude of shelving, be sure to consider installing features like drawers for storing produce like potatoes and onions, for instance. You might want to create a special cabinet for your mixer as well as an easily accessible bin for kids’ snacks. From built-in spice racks to optimum lighting features, you don’t want to forget any of the essentials when you create your perfect pantry.
If your kitchen cabinetry doesn’t meet your storage needs, you should consider a pantry installation or makeover. We’ll work with you to create a design that meets your household’s needs as well as your family budget. Contact us today to get your pantry remodeling project started soon.
