What size is best?

Unfortunately, in most homes, even new design,  the pantry is an afterthought that gets delegated to a leftover corner.  In an ideal situation, the following pantry design examples get the vote of Everything Pantry.

Best pantry design:  Walk-in pantry:  the easiest way to search for food items is to see everything at once. This is easy to do in a specialized storage area without doors.  Pantry organizers like baskets, bins, and pantry drawers create smaller sections of space that best suits the food item.

Best walkway width:  40"  See our in-depth page with pantry plan illustrations that support this clearance.

Best over shelf depth & height:  9" and 12"  Where did we come up with those numbers?  See our pantry shelf discussion page with extensive measurements of various pantry food items.

 

"The size of your pantry will depend pretty much on your reasons for building it. "....

"To hold everything we wanted to put into it, our pantry had to be 15' long and 4 1/2' wide.  We used 11 1/2"-deep shelving along three walls. On one of the short walls, we put up 4 1/2" shelving to hold flavorings, spices, and seeds for sprouting.  We were left with a 31" aisle.  Now, we're sorry we didn't make the aisle six inches wider.  As it is, space is a little tight and I'm always afraid I'll knock a jar off a shelf trying to turn around with my arms full."
