Cabinets, countertops and appliances usually steal the show in kitchens. But the pantry door is no slouch and should have a chance to stand out. A playful pantry door lets you step away from the standard pack of cabinets and add a personal touch to your cooking space. Whether you choose to paint the doors a bold color or add chalkboard paint, frosted glass panels or barn door hardware, your pantry door can add whimsy to your kitchen.

Colorful Pantry Doors

Don't be afraid to show off your personal style in the kitchen with a bright hue, like the red on this salvaged pantry door. It will instantly make your pantry the star of your kitchen. Doesn't this one remind you of an old telephone booth, too?

Bringing bright colors into the kitchen can be nerve racking, since so many kitchen materials are big investments. Using color on your pantry doors is a great way to go. Since it's just paint on a small surface, you can change it as often as you'd like. The turquoise on this vintage screened pantry door feels fresh but still ties in to the kitchen's reclaimed, vintage look.

Barn-Style Pantry Doors

The glass panes on this traditional barn door give the owner a peek inside. If you're clutter-prone, this probably isn't the best option for you. A frosted pane or solid door can hide your messes from wandering eyes.

This modern kitchen mixes things up with a barn-style pantry door that contrasts with the more modern main cabinetry. I love how the designer painted the sliding barn-style door with chalkboard paint and magnetized it, too.

Chalkboard Pantry Door

Turning a plain old pantry door into a magnetized chalkboard door requires many, many applications of both types of paint. But if you're willing to put the work in, the end result will be stylish, playful and practical. You can add photos of the kids or loved ones, and keep a list of grocery items in plain sight.

Chalkboard paint helps this pantry door stand out from the oak cabinetry. Many pantry doors come with frosted glass panels. If you're not a fan of the frosted glass, simply cover it with chalkboard paint. But you'll want to write your grocery list gently, because of the glass underneath.

Frosted Glass Pantry Door

This frosted door looks great in this contemporary kitchen and helps hide any mess. The door hardware mimics the refrigerator hardware, too.

Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry

These homeowners highlighted their pantry space with sliding frosted doors. This is a bold choice that requires some organization behind the doors, but the material definitely sets the pantry apart from the rest of the kitchen cabinetry.

Hidden Pantry Doors

This pantry door looks like the rest of the cabinetry in this kitchen, with a chalkboard to break the bank of all-white cabinets.

This subtle door actually opens inward, like a secret passageway. This clever technique avoids a door that cuts into the main kitchen area.

This narrow pantry door swings out to reveal an entire room behind the cabinetry.

We painted the door between our kitchen and laundry room with black chalkboard paint a few years ago and love it. When company comes over, we write messages to welcome them, but mostly we use the door to make fun of our dogs: Because White Doors Are No Fun
