11 years agoI have two, 12" wide pullouts to the left of fridge, and a 9"x24" side-opening pantry to the right.
Here is a drawing:
And here is a bit of a tight shot of the real thing:

30-36' all fridge and 24' all freezer ideas pls, have layout pic
Comments (6)hey 3waller, i was having a tough time deciding on refrigeration myself and recently made a decision which I think will work for me. Originally I was considering the 27" all fridge and 27" all freezer by subzero. These two units would have the cabinet panels on them and be divided in the center by a 27" pantry. I was concerned that the 27" fridge was too small for my family of 5 so I began searching other options. My wife and I came across the Miele 30" all refrigerator in a showroom and fell in love with it. It is a stunning piece inside and out. I have had Sub zero in the past and the miele just seems better built, better to look at a better usable space inside, of course all my opinion. However, after looking further into it, the Miele only offers a 18" freezer (too small), and the next size is a 30" freezer (too large for us) So I was disappointed. After researching a bit more I decide to get the 30" fridge by Miele and a 24" freezer by Thermadore. These units will both be covered on front so you would not be able to see a difference and because of my layout with the pantry in the center this option is possible. After calling the salesman he informed me that people do this combination quite often because Miele lacks the 24" all freezer. So in the end I wind up with the sizes I want and actually save a decent amount of money on the freezer end. From what I understand Thermadore is a solid product but may have lacked in the past with their service, I was informed that they have been correcting this issue and it is something I was willing to risk by purchasing their product. Hope this gives you a potential option. Good luck....See MoreTall Pantry or Tall Cabinet Sources and Costs
Comments (50)Hi, sorry I've been MIA again for awhile. Looks like you've got some great answers already. I'll try to fill in my answers as well - please forgive me Steph (and others) if I duplicate what you've said. I found the old 2009 IKEA Kitchen printed catalog, and am trying to figure what it is they mean about the things included. For the HIGH CABINETS, it says, " Prices includes frame, doors, hinges, drawers, legs, wire baskets, pull out cleaning storage and shelves where shown. Drawer and door dampers are included in all combinations except for the ARLIG series. The RATIONELL drawer and door dampers are sold separately. Toekicks and knobs/handles sold separately...." So. What sort of drawer and door dampers are included? And would it be a better idea to get the Rationell drawer and door dampers? It does not mention "full extension drawers" at all. Would that be what the Rationell drawer and door fittings do? Or are the drawers full extension anyway? No mention of needing to purchase DRAWER FRONTS for the roll out drawers behind the hinged Stat doors. Will I need to order those too? The door and drawer dampers that are included (make sure you order them - soft close dampers aren't automatically included) work exactly the same as the BLUM ones. IKEA calls them Rationell. I'm not sure why. I did read on some site somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) that they are not identical. When you order the pantry, all of the necessary hardware should come with it. Make sure you specify that you want the dampers - they don't necessarily come with, if you don't specify them. And, the doors come with the configuration I'm looking at, and I still wonder if I can order a side panel in the same look, which is the STAT in white? And will it be a single tall panel or do I get it as the doors, a high door and a short door above that which I attach as the side panel? I would suggest calling them to get the definitive answer to that exact question. We did not order sides as we are doing plain white and the sides of the cabs themselves are exactly that. We also went in person, it may be different when you order over the phone. I don't want to order the door pulls, I have a style I'm getting locally. It says LEGS are included "where shown" but nothing has a set of legs included in the drawing. No big deal, but I sure cannot put it together if I don't start with the base. My ceilings are 98 inches, and the cabinet is 88 inches, I think w/o the legs. So laying it on its side to attach legs after it's put together does not seem like an option to me. All of the base cabinets need legs. The pantry box would sit evenly with other base cabs, so it would need the same legs. They are kinda cheap plastic thingys - but very easy to adjust if your floor isn't exactly perfectly even. My order will be for the HDW2488 Stat white, which is 24w x 24d x 88h....... Double check the height - it looks like they offer a couple of diff height cabinets. It wouldn't be fun if you ended up getting the wrong one. And while I'm at it, I decided to have them ship the BDI18 which is a base cab 24d x 18w x 30h w/ pull out ironing board, with visible legs, also in the Stat door. Guess I'll need a Stat side panel for that also, unless I change it to the Rubrik stainless steel option. I am like a swimmer standing on the diving board, bouncing up/down/up/down. I don't know what else I'll need to order. How about the brackets to attach the tall cabinets and the base cabinets to the wall? Are those a separate purchase with Ikea? Just how helpful will the folks be when I place my order by phone? The brackets are separate - but when they help you put together your order, they should include all of that kind of stuff. For instance, even though we have 3 cabinet runs, we only got one bracket - my DH just cut it into the appropriate lengths. Maybe they'll send me a 2010 Kitchen catalog if I order some stuff. Did you try the link I posted above to order a catalogue online? It looked like a pretty simply process. :o) I await your advice on this latest flurry of questions. Thank all you who are talking me through this. ***** next post***** But what you are telling me, Prairie, is that you moved the garbage UP and probably cut the front door so that when you pulled out the top to wipe your trimmings/trash into the can, one single drawer was beneath it and was not opened. You could pull it out as separate drawer with a different drawer front or was it the other portion of the cabinet door? How did you arrange the door of the cabinet so it was normal looking? Do you have a photo you could upload of that? Then I would know what you mean. Nothing like a good photo to give me an AHA! moment. We are making our own drawers which means we can put the drawers wherever we want. We are not limited to the sizes of drawer faces that IKEA provides. The pics that Steph posted are great. Ikea comes with the large door that covers all three 'drawers'. All IKEA drawers are identical (in two sizes). The ones that are meant as pull-outs behind a door come with little drawer fronts. pull out drawer front If you look closely at this page, you can see the two smaller drawers come with the fronts - the taller one (with rails on the sides) would attach to the pull out door front. 5 piece 12 inch pull out I don't have my camera at the moment - my DH took it to work, but I'll try to post some pics of the garbage cabinet configuration later. Please let me know if I've missed any questions. :) ~ Missy...See MoreAnyone have/use a vertical roll out pantry?
Comments (19)I'm currently planning my kitchen makeover and I considered these for an area where I am replacing the upper and lower cabs in a 4 ft corner next to my fridge. By losing the small countertop area in that spot, I'll be able to put in 2 2ft x 2ft pantry units. Since the entire point of the reno is to maximize my usable space I decided pullouts would be defeating the purpose. While I think they are perfect for smaller areas that might go unused, I figured out that putting them in an area that has space available for full size shelves would waste about 1/3 to 1/4 of the space I was trying to gain. I also figured out that using pullout shelves, while convenient, also waste a bit of space that could be saved by using fixed shelves. So I decided to compromise there and go with 2 fixed shelves and two pullout shelves in each unit. I also ordered 2 pullout basket shelves as an extra. Seems its standard to just put in 4 shelves in this size cupboard, but my mom has the same style in her home and I just thought the shelves were way too far apart and wasted space that could be utilized by adding another shelf. Also, have noticed that a lot of installs put the lower shelf right at the bottom which also seems like a waste of space if you are space challenged. By placing the lowest shelf just 5-6 inches from the bottom, it effectively gives you and extra storage area perfect for larger platters, sheet pans, etc. and helps eliminate that extra empty top area....See MorePantry and utility closet...swap?

Comments (3)Ok, suspicions confirmed! Thanks, desertsteph! Lascatz, how do you fit all that in 12 inches? Pegboard? I thought a lot about where to put the pantry. It is currently where the fridge and pantry are pictured with 12 inch deep fixed shelves and much wasted space. I really want to avoid all tall cabinets on the short wall against the bathroom as it makes the space feel closed in (fridge is currently there). It was hard to decide between having the Advantium next to the fridge or the pantry, and in the end I wanted the pantry by the fridge and to steal the 6 inches for an 18 inch drawer stack vs 12 inch. I agree a straight line isn't ideal, but the space is small, and that's the only option that works without major structural changes or filling up that short wall floor to ceiling. Or we could lose the Advantium, but DH is pretty excited to get one and it's the only thing he's asked be included other than a double sink! So any additional ideas for making a 24 inch cabinet into utility/cleaning storage? Looks like I can work on converting the utility closet to a pantry while I'm waiting for the remodel to begin, kind of excited about that as it feels like it's starting!...See Moreallison0704
11 years agoMine isn't a pantry, but could be. It holds dishes on 2 shelves and small appliances (blender and food processor) on the top shelf. The bottom hold cookie sheets and racks. The very top door is only reached if I stand in a chair - I don't even remember what's up there. lol

I had copper panels our the fridge in our last house, and got the copper from my HVAC guy. I have 2 copper backsplashes (left of fridge on pine hutch, in laundry room) in this house, as well as the copper hood and ceiling in the powder room. Got all of the sheets again from our HVAC guy. He came out to measure and cut the ones on the hood.
Rococogurl's kitchen has cabinets on either side of her fridge:

Here is mine. 24" wide x 27" deep, each. There are four pullouts and three fixed shelves in each. We put the things that we don't use very much towards the back of the top three shelves because they are very deep. All our food goes into the one to the left and all our small appliances go into the one on the right.

11 years agoThe left side is a pullout. The right side is a cupboard which opens on the side, around the corner. It was going to be a broom closet but quickly morphed into more food storage!

11 years agoSorry for the late reply. I'd let you take a peek inside, but I cannot find my camera!! (And I am going on vacation to a beautiful place next week, so I either have to find it or buy a new camera!)
I really like the 9" depth. I store things like canned goods and coffee cans and cornmeal/oatmeal canisters, and I store them two-deep. It is perfect, because you can see everything at a glance, but still lots of room.
As for the copper, I bought it at Menard's (kind of like Lowe's). It is sold as roof flashing, and it comes in either 6" or 20" (or is it 24?) wide sheets.I laid mine out in the backyard for two months to patina. Here it is at the beginning of the process:

11 years agoWe're putting in these 12" pantries around a 36" Electrolux fridge. Side-opening pantry on the side you can see here. On the other side, a drop down secretary w/charging stations. Above it will be bookshelves and below it our shredder and another shelf, all all behind doors. Good luck!

11 years agoIt's not much to look at all shut up but I think it will work miracles for us. All three sections will have power. At one point, we had the notion of leaving the top open. I will try to find an old pic of that.

11 years agoOK, so this is a most unglamorous pic compared to above but we're almost there... Our Elux Icon All Fridge, All Freezer going in on Thursday, so right now it's a lonely home for a step stool and broom. :-)
But we DO have a full-size pantry to the left with pull outs. I love it already!
(If it's next to a wall, be sure you put enough filler to the side where the wall is to be able to open the cabinet doors fully.)

11 years agoJust noticed the shovel there too - we look like ax murderers! Anyway, here's a peek at the inside of the new pantry. All pull out for easy access.
