In this article from Lumina Homes, an affordable house and lot provider that provides tips on anything related to homeownership, we'll help you come up with some of the best kitchen pantry ideas to achieve your goals for your little home sweet home.

Kitchen Pantry Design Ideas: 7 Tips

If you want to be more organized with the way your kitchen storage looks and works, you'd need to invest time and effort to accomplish your kitchen pantry goals. These design ideas are pretty simple and straightforward. Without further ado, redo your pantry storage with these tips:

1. Use cabinet space

If you don't have a kitchen pantry but do have an unutilized cabinet, time to make use of its vast space to kickstart your pantry cabinet goals. If your cabinet is already quite old to use but not too old to dispose of, thoroughly clean it out first and paint it to your desired color. You can match it with the aesthetics of your interior space, but ideally not too bright as to give it an obnoxious appearance.

As for repurposing your cabinet for kitchen storage, consider putting in a set of pretty baskets to make it more aesthetically pleasing. If your goal is only to have a kitchen organizer, you might as well make it two by making it also look good and worthy of a Pinterest upload.

2. Consider a moveable storage

When organizing your home, convenience should also be a priority. A movable, multi-tiered storage allows for convenient use of the kitchen pantry without having the need for a corner to permanently place it in. You can move it where there is enough space and not worry about rearranging stuff from your kitchen.

3. Under staircase storage, anyone?

That is to say, if your house and lot in the Philippines do have a staircase. This part of the home is often overlooked and unutilized. For pantry storage, this makes for an ideal setting to place various items and utensils if your kitchen area and countertop space become too clogged and lacks space for your other small appliances and for food storage.

4. Floating pantry shelves

Installing wall shelves will maximize wall space if floor space has been nearly fully occupied. Aside from that, they could look like some added decoration if you will be creative enough. You can also consider having a pantry door where you install a floating shelf in the corner for door storage. This maximizes the space by having pantry doors. You will be surprised at how this will add visual interest should you decide to follow this pantry design idea.

5. Pull-out drawers may help

When looking for a unique way to have additional storage space, pull-out drawers may be your best bet. You can either buy pull-out pantry storage in physical stores or online, or you can DIY one. A wheeled, pullout pantry would make it easy for you to store and reach for items that are harder to pull out from an actual shelf.

6. Compact pantry

Another worthwhile pantry idea would be a compact pantry storage where you will gain convenient access to hard-to-reach utensils and items. This means having rolling drawers that you can effortlessly pull out to get the item(s) you need. This does not necessarily have to be situated in the kitchen area itself if you already lack space there. These could be anywhere in the house (but preferably still near your kitchen island), and still you won't have to worry about appearance since the items are out of sight and stored in a deep rolling drawer.

7. Install a shelf on a cabinet edge

If there is no more wall space to install a floating shelf on, a cabinet edge would be an excellent alternative. To maintain its aesthetics, you can put pretty-looking food jars and spice racks to put any items from your overstuffed kitchen area. This way, you maximize all possible spaces in your interiors for convenience and functionality without compromising their overall appearance in your humble abode.
