Have you ever wondered about the benefits of having a pantry in your kitchen? It’s not just an additional storage space but a true game-changer in terms of kitchen organisation – and of course design. A pantry makes cooking and meal prep effortless, providing ample storage options and a designated space for everything.
If you’re considering adding a pantry to your kitchen, there are a few key elements to keep in mind when designing your perfect pantry. At Kitchen Design Centre, we’ve got a few helpful tips to share that’ll guide you through the process.
When creating your perfect pantry, the first thing to consider is the layout. How you choose to build out your pantry is vital to making the most of your available storage space. One effective way to accomplish this is by installing adjustable shelving to accommodate items of varying sizes while allowing for easy reorganisation. Pull-out shelves or drawers are also a brilliant addition, particularly in deeper spaces, as they provide easy access to all items. It’s also important to consider the height of your shelves, ensuring you can access items without uncomfortable stretching or dangerous leaning.
One thing to keep in mind is that it’s super important to make sure your pantry is easily accessible for everyone in your household. This means arranging items in a way that can accommodate different heights and needs. For example, you could place frequently used items at eye level or within reach of those with difficulty reaching higher shelves. By doing so, you’ll be able to access everyday essentials efficiently without any hassle. Less-used items can stay neatly tucked out of the way. Which brings us onto our next point…
If you want your pantry to be stylish and functional, consider how you categorise your pantry staples. There’s no right or wrong way to do this; it’s whatever works best for you! You could group similar items for easy access. You can decant things like rice, pasta and dried foods into clear containers or labels to make it easy to see what’s inside. You can also try out options like door racks, wall-mounted organisers, or baskets to maximise additional storage space.
When designing your perfect pantry, blending functionality with aesthetics is crucial, so choose a colour scheme that complements your kitchen or reflects your personal style. You can also integrate decorative elements like wood-topped glass jars or incorporate baskets and labels that align with your taste and kitchen style to make everything feel cohesive.
Lastly, consider your lighting options. Apart from the functional benefits of having sufficient lighting in your pantry, it can also enhance the overall aesthetics of the space. You can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your pantry with LED strips or motion-sensor lights. The soft glow of the lights can make the space feel more contemporary and visually appealing. Spotlights are also fantastic for pantries and look great under shelving. Ultimately, though, it’s all about personal preference.
The ideal pantry is a blend of thoughtful design and personalised touches, and it should make your life easier in the kitchen. Whether it’s the efficient organisation, accessibility, or aesthetic charm, each element contributes to making your pantry an integral and delightful part of your kitchen experience. And, if you’d like some help building a stunning kitchen that can house not only your dream pantry but a host of other stunning features, look no further!

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

A CLASSIC SHAKER STYLE KITCHEN FOR A CHESHIRE
HOME
When Louise and Stuart renovated and extended their Wilmslow home they visited several local kitchen companies but were keen to get exactly what they wanted and researched companies with large showrooms located slightly further afield.
Kitchen Design Centre popped up on google and they were delighted to find that were open on a Sunday and that being located at Housing Units Failsworth, they were only a 20-minute drive away.
They were amazed by the showroom and how many full-size displays there were. They were equally impressed with Designer Paul Harrington who spent a great deal of time listening to what they wanted and going through various options and designs with them.

Latest case study now live incase you missed it.
With a keen eye for design, Nicole knew the look she wanted and approached a local kitchen company. They came up with a range of designs but although there was nothing wrong with them, the couple felt that they would like an alternative design. They were already dealing with a lot of different companies for other rooms in the house and were reluctant to involve another but Anthony suggested they visited Rowan at Kitchen Design Centre Urmston to see if he could improve the design, and they were absolutely blown away with what he came up with.
