Ooh I love a good pantry. Here is mine. We did the shelving out of primed pine. Everything came to less than $500. I painted and caulked myself. Like everyone else I guess, I figured out what I needed to store and planned shelving height for those items. All shelves are 12” deep. You can see on the bottom some of our bigger items stick out past the 12” which may argue for 14-16”. Would defintely not go deeper than 18”. Did not go to ceiling because I figured I could store bigger items up top and save some money. One of my favorite features is the left hand wall. We made the shelves the exact heights for various size mason jars. We have a glass paned door on our pantry and it’s one of my favorite rooms in the house. It stays neat, even with 2 young boys, since everything has a place! All of the various baskets are for particular food items. We don’t drink any wine but my husband does drink pop. I wish I had planned better for storage of those cans (I ended up adding acrylic bins on the floor at the front of the pantry not visible here). In our design, a good bit is on the floor. It doesn’t really bother me but you should consider if that bothers you. If our budget had been bigger, I would have built up a base of some sort on the floor. I would also like to put a ”lip” on the edge of all the shelves to make them appear thicker, but I didn’t take that into account when I planned height for mason jars, and adding a lip now would make them too short! And in case anyone is wondering, that is a recipe from my grandma I had made into a wall paper. Makes me smile whenever I pass by. :)
