Hardwood Kitchen Pantries

Food Storage that lasts

Closets and walk-in rooms are common in many kitchens of today and yesteryear and if you are remodeling cabinetry with hardwoods consider doing the same for your pantry.

Today's pantries can contain many moving parts for optimizing your storage space and providing easy access to your pantry items. Metal shelving and baskets as well as roll-out drawers and shelves make storing food a snap. Many storage systems can be installed with ease by the homeowner.

With extra space available in your kitchen, hide your food and pantry items behind hardwood cabinet doors that look just like any normal cabinet.

Important considerations for a kitchen pantry:

Shelving material - Consider laminates for cheap shelving solutions.
Painting - Contrasting visible shelves can break up monotonous kitchen decor. Consider poplar as it takes paint very well.
Shelf spacing - Save larger areas at the bottom of your pantry for larger items.
Pull Outs - Roll-away drawers and bins with custom dividers create effective pantries.
Lighting - Often an overlooked aspect, but nothing is worse than trying to find an item in a dim lit pantry.
Molding and casing - Match your kitchens trim or crown molding if applicable.
Flooring - If you have a walk-in pantry will you install the same flooring as your kitchen?

Kitchen pantries of quality hardwoods provide elegance and great dimension to a custom kitchen. Don't overlook this basic kitchen need as storing food has become a way of life for most of us.
