Need pantry layout ideas!
Comments (4)I think 2 ft deep is too deep for a pantry that isn't walk in. could you set it back in to a depth of 1.5'? that'd give you a cushion on body space thru there also. I'd do that and then probably 2 rows of lower drawers (for bulk storage - maybe roasting pan, serving pieces, linens etc and then doors (4 if you have 5' in length to work with), I might even consider pushing it back to 1' deep and all doors (tho split with uppers and lowers; lowers being less used). I don't like the deep space for things to get 'lost'. I'm short and have short arms (I guess) so it may not be that way for everyone. OR could you put shallow (maybe 8" deep) shelves along the side walls inside of a door with the main shelf across being only a foot or so deep? (not a walk in - but a 'look' in). those shallow depth shelves on the sides would be good for canned goods, bottle stuff (salad dressings, ketchup, pickle jars etc) or even some boxes - a box of saltines should fit on them. the higher ones on the sides would be the right depth to store spare paper towel rolls, paper napkins etc or you could even put a false back in some of the shelves to hide valuables....See MoreCupboard/ drawer/pantry layout help needed
Comments (16)Good luck! BTW, is the exterior door 36" including trim? 30" with 3" trim? If 36", and the trim wasn't included in their plan, the cabinets between the range and fridge could be reduced to 24" upper and 27" base.. Also, I just remembered that, in your previous thread, we discussed moving the DW to the left side of the sink, if the door on the right didn't open to the DR. Since it's to the exterior, I'd tell them to flip the DW. If you choose the 42" drawer base, it would be close enough to the range for storage of large pots. And, if groceries are being brought in that door, you have a nice landing space on the island, as lisa_a had suggested. Another thought--if there is space between the cabinets and the door trim on the left, you might consider pulling the bottom cabinets on the sink run out to 27". That would give you another 3" of counter and landing space in front of the tall cabinets, and if you can have bases custom made, they could have deeper drawers. GW discussions--deeper counters More links on google...See MoreNew Home Construction Kitchen Layout (to Pantry or not to pantry)
Comments (22)this is the only "major" change we want to make (*aka move cabinets around.) We are happy with the builder just want to redesign the kitchen. Originally we were fine with the pantry but want to maximize our budget aka look at alternatives (aka if we can make the change great if not we are not crazy worried .) And ty for everyones points its beyond helpful. we can't find anything even close in our market for this amount. (been looking for a long time now) plus we love the lot and the neighborhood (small city)...See MorePlease review layout, thank you in advance!!
Comments (9)Well I'm split on the form function debate regarding open shelves. My mother has them in her cabin kitchen and absolutely loves them. She's actually trying to talk me into more open shelves. I took cabinet doors off two of our current kitchen shelves and I do actually like it. But I'm not the neatest person, and I'm not sure it's the right decision...however, I love not opening the door to put my dishes away. It seems like a simple thing but I'm a working full-time mama with a toddler and it's actually great to just be able to reach up and grab your dishes well juggling other things Etc...See Morefunkycamper
