Design Tips for Pantry Closets
- Shelves for food storage should never be deeper than 12 inches: Many people, myself included, seem to be in love with the idea of really deep shelves. We think it’s the answer to their pantry woes, but what we don’t realize is that they actually create three big storage problems. The shelves are too deep to reach the back, so you end up using only the first three-quarters of it. Items also get lost in the back of these shelves and become dust collectors and expire. Another disadvantage to deep shelves is you end up having to move things around or knock things over in the process of looking for something, an organizational nightmare
- Hooks are helpful: For bonus storage space, add hooks on the back of your pantry door. These hooks can hang aprons, oven mitts, and even reusable shopping bags. In a pantry, taking advantage of vertical storage is essential and in the end, saves on space.
- Hide garbage and recycling in pantries: Don’t forget about your garbage and recycling! Some people don’t like their garbage cans out in the open so hiding them in your pantry is a perfect spot!
