How I Design Pantries

including floor plans, elevations, tips, dimensions and more

The best ones are butler’s pantries – big boys with floor-to-ceiling storage that connect cooking spaces to dining spaces. But a little niche tucked in the wall between the studs can be a lovely, efficient pantry, too. We do not discriminate! Storage is king!

I’m asked all the time for the specific dimensions of mine, the spacing of the shelves, how far this is from that. Often, the answer is that it doesn’t matter what my pantry’s dimensions are—it matters what yours could or should be.
