Largish Pantry Design - Please Show Me Your Favorite Ideas
In our walkthrough pantry, we currently have a 61" wide x 41" deep space, with everything still on the plastic storage shelving DH brought up temporarily from the basement when we started our remodel 4-5 years ago.
I'm envisioning some gorgeous custom wood solution, which feels like a piece of furniture, which hides everything, but which is deeper than the usual 24" that Rev-A-Shelf allows. One idea is to use Blum's tandem box pullouts, which allow 30 " depth, perhaps with interior roll-outs. These have rails on the sides, I don't know whether it would drive me crazy to store cans in drawers (i.e., not see labels easily).
My style is transitional. Please show me your favorite stand-alone pantrys, and favorite storage features within them.

Our current space. We could omit the side wall on the left, or build between the walls.
Some pictures I've book marked:
Add'l storage on doors.
Perhaps make it look like a single piece of furniture, with different lower drawers?
Ideas/thoughts, welcomed. Thanks!

Comments (25)fyi, the rims can be painted after installation. Charliedawg, our plugs are perfect. With the lakeview, fireplace, tv, open kitchen and arches to DR and foyer, there is really only one natural place for our sofa. I knew we wanted to put a sofa table behind it, so we left room for that and enough room to walk between table and the cedar posts at the kitchen opening. The electrician said there was no rush since the plugs were going into the main level, which is second story, so we were able to wait until house was framed to decide exactly where they were going. DH and I used empty boxes to place where the sofa and measured to make sure there was enough room behind for table. (You can see the two cans in the kitchen we didn't need :( ) Here is a link that might be useful: Great room...See MoreShow me your closet pantry doors - pic's please
Comments (9)Both Ccoombs1 & Buehl's pantry's are corner types. Mine is just on the flat wall and rectangular. Its 4' along the back wall and then approx 2' deep. I think I will put shelves along one side of the 2' depth and then along the back wall (like an L). The L will be on the right side and the door will be shifted to the left side. So if there were 12" deep shelves at a min on the L side, I would have approx 30" or so of opening for a door or doors. If any shelf was deeper, then it would be smaller. If it was a single door it would swing right. Immediately to the left of the pantry is the doorway to the hallway. So there is a space issue here and therefore tying to see how small of a door I can put in and still be comfortable to get in and out as well as access the stuff on the right side that forms the L. Does this make sense? A friend of mine has the same door on hers. Can't remember though if you can see the stuff on the shelves through it or not. This style is on my list if a single door would work....See MoreNew design and share large pantry ideas, please

Comments (81)Love all your rooms inside and out! Here are mine. Our DIY kitchen that we are still working on( DH rather) and our front porch. I used the painters tarp and grommet ideas for curtains for the porch so now we can sit and watch the storm.I call it the "biggest little porch in town" You are looking at the whole thing in the photo, there ain't no more. But it is big enough for 3 to sit and the 2 dogs can lie on the porch with us. We have our morning coffee outside after our walks. I included photos from May when I had painted the free CL loveseat and made pillows so you could see the colors in a better light. I am just using grosgrain ribbon right now, I plan to make tiebacks out of the stripe canvas. Of course the roses arent blooming like that now....See More

8 years agoYour first picture is perfect! Drool worthy for sure.
Having that storage on the door would use up some of the depth so your pullouts wouldn't have to be so deep.
I have quite a collection of photos of those larder style pantries. I'll include some, though you've probably seen them all on Houzz.

8 years agoBuehl, thanks so much for the link to the pantry thread. I'd read before, but forgotten about. I read with pleasure again this morning. Loved seeing your pantry again - the 15" shelves look perfect.
nancyjwb - Thank you too. I had not seen those.
eam - But the pricey inserts will be half the fun :) I do love gadgets.
All I'll be storing in here are canned, dry goods, cereal, soda and the like.
I've always like the apothecary/multiple drawers look. Here's a first stab. If I place this in the space between the two walls, I have 52.5 inches. Here's something that size, with three 48" wide lower drawers, and two upper doors.
This breaks down to a face frame, three drawer fronts, two doors. Lighted top. Handy DH:)
Doors and drawers would open with 'Tip-On' - press to open.
It could be black with ORB handles on every square...
This design takes it from floor to 8' ceiling, without a lot of room for trim work.
Regarding storage, I spent some time on the Blum website this morning and am considering their Legrabox drawers. I can add an interior rollout and an inner drawer, and fit ~50 cans laying horizontally (so I can see labels) like this, per layer/drawer, for a total of 100 cans in a 12" tall/48" wide drawer:)
Thoughts/comments? Please be frank; my feelings won't be hurt.oldbat2be
8 years agolaughable - The canned good shelves would be about 4.5" tall, and cans would be laying on their sides. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you for the link to Star Craft; I will go pay a visit to their site next.
beachem - I haven't started the budgeting process; this is all theoretical at this point:) Do they make the drawer within the drawer, like these?
AnnKH - drawers would be 48". Dividers could be easily added, I'm sure.
Definitely agreed about not having individual apothecary drawers! Here's a quick sketch of the current layout:
