Organization doesn’t have to be boring with these stunning pantry shelving ideas.
The way in which you organize your pantry directly affects how much you’re able to store; with the right shelving, maximizing your pantry space is a breeze. An organized pantry can make spending time in the kitchen a more enjoyable part of the day.
Whether your pantry is a walk-in, a butler’s pantry, or just a few shelves, organizing it in the most efficient manner will make your life easier and your home that much more relaxing. If you’re renovation your kitchen or just looking to make your pantry more organized, check out these pantry shelving ideas for inspiration.
Metal Uprights
While most metal uprights are used for strictly functional purposes, it’s possible to use them in a stylish manner. In the 2023 Southern Living Idea House, the kitchen pantry has open shelving punctuated by metal uprights from Brass Hardware to save space and add a hint of style.
Vary Shelf Width
“Having pantry shelves vary in width is helpful for storage of your pantry items,” says Andi Morse of Morse Design. “It allows tall containers and small containers to have specific spots and look more organized. Additionally, when possible, adding shelving on the actual doors provides additional space and organization. Having a place for each item is a game changer in keeping an organized pantry.”
Spice Rack Shelving
Katie Wolf of Wolf Interiors maximized pantry storage with a built-in spice rack. “Asking the carpenter to add shelving on the doors for spices held maximize our storage,” says Wolf. “Keeping an alphabetized spice rack makes for less frenzied cooking! We also enjoy afternoon tea and have an entire shelf dedicated to our supplies.”
Antique Asset
Pantries are a great place to add antique pieces because of the space and functionality. In the butler’s pantry of this Texas farmhouse, a sprawling 1800s French pharmacy cabinet is used to store plates and flatware that perfectly combines function with the farmhouse aesthetic.
Center Show-Off
If you have a more visible pantry like a butler’s pantry, having a clean design is much more important. In the butler’s pantry of this Nashville farmhouse, a middle shelving unit was added between the cabinets to show off the couple’s stunning china.
Open Glassware Shelving
Glassware provides an understated yet elegant look in a kitchen space, so showing them off with open shelving can be a great option for decor. The pantry in this charming cottage has stacked shelves with glassware for easy access and a great pair with the gray paint.
Pop of Teal
While most pantries aren’t necessarily a focal point, adding a vivid color can make it an aesthetically appealing part of your home. In this butler’s pantry, a gorgeous shade of teal was painted in and around the pantry to make a typically unassuming area exciting.
Symmetrical Shelves
When your pantry isn’t closed off by a door, keeping it clean is much more of a priority. In the butler’s pantry of this Florida home, symmetrical pantry shelves behind glass doors are used to store necessities while still feeling stylish.
