I used elfa in a pantry (more like a nook) and a closet. I have one of the basket things for cleaning supplies and vitamins. They are super easy to instant, but you are right, no wrap around pieces. I'm not home, so sorry no picture.

I think you could come up with a much better design just looking at the Elfa kitchen page for inspiration on Container Store's website. http://www.containerstore.com/s/elfa/best-selling-solutions/kitchen/123

I would probably have a lot of drawers and then the rest just the narrower shelves (12") so that you don't have a lot of stuff behind other things. I would probably do the drawers on the wall near the entry of the pantry and then do 12" shelves wrapping around the other walls.

This drawer looks really neat: http://www.containerstore.com/s/elfa/best-selling-solutions/whats-new-from-elfa/white-elfa-18-gliding-tiered-shelf 

It would add up in cost if you wanted a lot of them however.

What do you want to store besides food? Will you have any small appliances in there, the trash bags, shopping bags, a broom and dustpan or Swiffer? Leave space for those. And maybe some solid shelving, a little deeper, maybe pullout, as a work surface for measuring or pouring things into decanters or serving pieces and to hold appliances.

I agree you can wrap the space in elfa (I'm an elfa queen lol!). In my last pantry, only about 22" wide, I had a deeper shelf on the bottom, a couple of 12" shelves above that, and 8" shelves the rest of the way up. That way heavy stuff was low where I could get it easily, and up above things didn't hide behind others. On the side I had just enough room for a wall rack of baskets that each held a single row of cans.

For you, I think I'd do a bank or two of drawers on the left to hold bags, napkins, and all those little niggly things like cookie cutters, toothpicks, skewers, candles, and so on, with a countertop on top of them, shallow shelves above, and shelves all the rest of the way around.

Im surprised Container Store came up with something so unoriginal. The last few times I've gone into the store, I notice they are relying on standard layouts more, and less creativity, but maybe if y go in to your store in the morning when they aren't too busy, you can work together to get a better layout.

I'm hoping to use elfa in my pantry. I came across this picture and thought it looked like elfa.

I had elfa in my pantry and loved that it was easily adjustable. I did buy some very specific sizes and then couldn't use them except in exactly one spot. I would try to go as basic and adjustable as follows if I did it again.

I just got my designs back for ours-- we're doing 4 closets plus the pantry. (Also shooting for the after-Christmas sale!)

I emailed my local store a sketch of the space, someone called me and asked a bunch of questions about what kinds of things I wanted to store where, and then they emailed me designs. Some were spot-on, and some will need some edits. I would call/email them back and tell them to try again, you can definitely do better with that right side.

Here is my pantry- it does go around the corner, but not custom built-in tight.

kirstyeg - did you mean to post your design?

Oh, oops. Apparently just pasting the photo into the box does not work. Here it is.

Did you click on "photo" and then select the image?
