10 Pretty Pantries to Inspire Your Next Kitchen
Who says a functional pantry can't be full of style, too? Get inspired by these 10 satisfying storage spaces
There is a sense of satisfaction in seeing perfectly lined-up jars of grains or tidy piles of onions and potatoes in your pantry. However, the best pantries incorporate great design too, and add to the overall look and feel of your kitchen and home. Whether in a cupboard, separate room or tucked away under the stairs, the pantries on this list bring both beauty and functionality.

What we love: Panelling behind the shelving lends this otherwise minimal and efficiently laid out butler’s pantry a cosy touch.

3. Minneapolis, USA
What we love: The sumptuous finishes. Many readers have asked about the paint colour (Grays Harbor from USA-based Sherwin Williams) and the tiles (hand-painted terracotta tiles from Tabarka Studio in the USA). An archway integrates this walk-in pantry into the rest of the kitchen. “The stone veneer makes it feel like an old stone cave-like room with a new house wrapped around it,” says the designer.

6. London, UK
What we love: Forest green kitchens and glazing are trending in the UK at the moment. Here, the glass connects the pantry to the rest of the kitchen while the solid panelling on the bottom keeps clutter tucked away. The doors give the pantry the feel of a traditional shop.

What we love: Same idea, very different feel in this Shaker-style pantry. With its stepped design, contrasting benchtop, rounded shelves and artwork, this pantry incorporates decor and attention to detail usually reserved for living spaces.

9. London, UK
What we love: What to do if you can’t fit a walk-in pantry? This cupboard shows how much storage can be packed into a much smaller space. Note the wide bottom drawers for corralling clutter, and the spice rack on the door.
