A Peek Inside the Pantry: 11 Kitchen Storage Favorites

November 2, 2017

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).

Her new pantry has broad, shallow shelves on rollers. See more in Kitchen of the Week: Aya Brackett’s Hippie House Update in Oakland. Photograph by and courtesy of Aya Brackett.

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.

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.
