If you have a kitchen, you have a pantry of some sort—whether it’s a single cabinet or a designated closet-like space off your kitchen, it’s the place you store your cereals, spices, dishes, and more. The question is: how to keep it all in order?
Though you’re not likely to take an anonymous peek inside the pantries of other people’s homes, who wouldn’t want to? Here, a glimpse inside 11 pantries of which we’re fond (admittedly: some highly styled, but some less so).
Above: Says Clare McCamy of her Mill Valley, California, kitchen, “I love our walk-in pantry. Our designer did a near-perfect job of hearing us out about what we have and what we wanted and giving us just slightly more storage than we need.” See more in Kitchen of the Week: A New-Build Kitchen in Mill Valley, CA, the Six-Month Check-Up.

Above: Says photographer Abi Campbell of her kitchen pantry, “I had a funny dead space at the end of my kitchen, and Plain English suggested that I turn it into a pantry. I blew my budget here, but I love being able to see everything and getting my hands on it fast.” See the rest of the gray-and-white design in Reader Rehab: A Photographer’s Kitchen in London.
