Getting the pantry design right is all about making the right style and functional choices.

With that in mind, here is look at trendy new designs from which you can draw plenty of inspiration –

For the Stylish, Modern Kitchen

In the modern kitchen, the small pantry can come in might handy. It can be tucked away easily in the corner of the kitchen and you can even move a couple of your modular shelves and cabinets away to create space for the wall mounted pantry. A pantry with smart frosted glass doors fits in easily here, but for those seeking something different, chalkboard doors are a fun option as well. Gray and white pantry doors, polished shelves that can be easily folded away and pull-out drawers can complete this cool little space.

Bespoke Pantry Solutions

We love a custom pantry that is crafted to meet the exact demands of the homeowner. A bespoke pantry gives you plenty of advantages over the cookie-cutter models that might simply be too big or just ungainly for your existing kitchen. You can turn a tiny nook in the kitchen into a pantry here and do so with models that range from slide-out designs that sit right next to the refrigerator to thos that blend in with the existing kitchen cabinets.

Adapting to your Kitchen Style

The pantry that you add to the kitchen needs to blend in with its style and even enhance it if possible. The best pantries are those that simply vanish into the backdrop when not in use and feel like an organic extension of the kitchen, Sliding barn doors and weathered wooden shelves for the pantry work brilliantly in farmhouse, rustic and vintage kitchens while a bit of metal and glass is a must for those in modern industrial homes. DIY solutions like wooden crates on wheels and smart shelves handcrafted at home can be added to these pantries for an even more elegant and unique look.
