14 Genius Pantry Door Upgrades That Will Elevate Your Kitchen

Kitchen Pantry Ideas

Fit a pantry into a small space

Why not turn a small, awkward space into a pantry? You could put it under the stairs or in a small corner space, for example.

Buy sliding doors

Fit sliding doors to keep your pantry neatly out of sight. This gives you the chance to design a unique, interesting pantry entrance.

Use a range of shelves and racks

Find a way of fitting in everything that you need to store in your pantry. This means getting the right mixture of shelves and racks.

Choose a certain style

Work out what style or feel you want in here. Rustic or luxurious looks work equally well if the DIY tasks are carried out to a high standard.

Place old pieces of furniture

This is an excellent opportunity to re-purpose older items. Bookcases, shelves, and cabinets can all come in handy in this room.
