6. Add freestanding shelves to an available wall. This version of an open pantry is like the first kitchen in this story, since it adds shelving to an open wall. However, this open pantry is actually much simpler, bearing just five shelves with uniform heights. Although this pantry’s shelving is built-in, you could create a similar feature in your own home with a sturdy freestanding shelving unit that fits the dimensions of your available space. This example, though perhaps styled for a photo shoot, also demonstrates the power of containers and baskets to make a pantry look organized and feel peaceful. Because the jars on the shelves match in shape and fill up the available shelf space, they could keep items corralled over the long term, even when cameras aren’t in sight.
