Walk-In Pantry
is the most popular pantry design
today in modern kitchens. The walk-in pantry is
the ultimate in practicality, ease of use, and function.
Walk-in pantries range in size from a
tiny room to a multi-functional area that may share
space with other task locations, like laundry facilities.
The larger rooms even incorporate an extra refrigerator
or freezer.
The pros and cons of a walk-in
pantry:
That beautiful, abundant room that
you are dreaming about could turn out to be the “black
hole” of the kitchen. Combat this through intelligent
use of
pantry shelving and
pantry organizers. Start with a
pantry design plan that incorporates space for users
to move freely.
So many times, the pantry is
squeezed into a leftover space - even worse when that
space is odd-shaped. For maximum pantry storage
productivity, leave the angles out!
Probably the most-loved feature of
a walk-in pantry is getting to see all of your food
items at one time. It really is the most practical
approach to accessing your food. Even if you have
orderly pantry shelves, great satisfaction is taken in
closing the pantry
door and letting the main kitchen take center
stage.
Walk-in pantries are economical;
cabinetry cost doesn’t match the utility of walk-ins per
dollar. All wall space is utilized. Also, consider
this: if you wanted to update your kitchen with new
cabinets, that cost would not apply to your pantry
(unless of course it was a
butler’s pantry).
