Kitchen Organisation: 14 Dream Pantry & Cupboard Designs

Some clever thinking on your part, and these elaborate storage units can also find pride of place in your kitchen

This is eye candy for neat freaks like me. Give me pantries and well-structured shelves and I am in organisation heaven. Most of us may not have the sprawling kitchens that some of these kitchens depict but you’ll be surprised to discover how smart thought can convert a tall niche in the kitchen corner into one of these gorgeous caves for storage. Or how an extra store room can be converted into a walk-in pantry and change your life. Shelves demand arrangement, and arrangement begets organisation. Here are pantries and kitchen cupboards that pack a punch.
The Hammer & Nail, Inc.
Handcrafted creamy white cabinets open up to reveal this impressive storehouse. This seemingly compact unit accommodates cupboards, pull-out shelves, a cooktop, and closed and see-through cabinets.
Mylands
This gorgeous grey wall cabinet is not the only storage space in the kitchen but it packs in the most weight. Perfect for dry foods, just the thought of stocking up this pantry fills me with delight.
Don Foote Contracting
In addition to the cupboards, cabinets and overhead storage, this kitchen also brings in two large pull-out flat panels that conceal a cornucopia of kitchen supplies.
Chantry Kitchens
What a way to store wines, bottles, sauces and snacky foods. The precision of the light-brown woodwork is extraordinary.
The Closet Works, Inc.
From shelves for bulky utensils to those for precious wines, this walk-in pantry could be fashioned in a kitchen corner, too. It’s a bit like strolling through the aisles of a grocery store. Nice.
Got a small spare room or corner? Convert it into a small storage cum pantry space like this. Items not needed for everyday use are stashed here. Open as well as closed storage containers are a godsend because of their ability to stock clutter and make it all look so organised from the outside. They are even more of a boon when you store similar things within a box and put a name tag on it.

Benbow & Associates
It’s like a library … for kitchen stuff. This kitchen is for the serious cook. Love, love, love the ladder: it can even move sideways. A floor-to-ceiling shelving system like this can make up for the lack of most of the other usual storage pieces in the kitchen. From spices and sauces to utensils and dry foods, all can be accommodated here.

Design Harmony
A partial, faux wall of cupboards stores the best stuff. The open-ended side has slim storage panels that can be pulled out.
Weidmann Remodeling
In this kitchen, the pull-out storage panels are installed in the lower cabinets under the counter. A very handy place for the spices…
Tailored Living / Premier Garage of Bay Area
Neatly stacked shelves store everything from veggies to toilet paper. This is, of course, a very expansive kitchen, but it’s also a great idea for an empty wall in a straight-line kitchen. Here, a countertop, too, has been worked into the design by extending the width of the lower, middle cupboard. Another idea that can be adapted to a straight-line kitchen, especially a folding table type that disappears when not wanted.
Vanillawood
This kitchen spot shows the impressive capabilities of modular cabinets. Customised to a T, these cabinets house appliances and gadgets, as also regular drawers and slim vertical storage panels.
A small store room has been converted into an efficient pantry. Similar boxes stacked neatly together heighten the sense of organisation. Above-the-cabinet space has also been utilised here: shelves go all the way up from floor to ceiling.
Venegas and Company
This cupboard could be an almirah, customised this time for bottles and kitchen sauces rather than clothes, don’t you think?
Alison Hammond Photography
This kitchen island is ingenious. The transparent glass top keeps everything in view. The sliding drawers neatly hold piles of plates, napkins, bowls, and other accoutrements for laying the table.
