Celebrity Pantries: How to create your own on budget

Even if you do not have the space to have a walk-in pantry as extravagant as a Kardashian, you can still incorporate this trend into your kitchen using space-saving solutions. 

Lizzie Beasley, Head of Design at Magnet has shared eight top tips on how to create and organise your own pantry, based on the most popular pantry trends of 2022.

• Create a vertical pantry 

Whatever the size of your kitchen, you can make the most of vertical wall space by opting for long and narrow pantry cabinets or shelving. This way, you can save valuable floor space whilst still creating optimal storage for your food items. 

Depending on the height of your storage, you might need to organise its contents seasonally. Place out-of-season items higher up and put your essentials within reach. You could even add a wooden sliding ladder to help you reach higher-up items, whilst also adding to the rustic aesthetic of your kitchen.  

• Label baskets and clear containers 

To make your items look unified, remove your food items from their original packaging and store them in suitable jars or containers. Keep your organisation simple and label all your items so you can easily find what you are looking for. 

• Incorporate tiered Shelving 

Avoid forgetting what you have stored in the back of your cupboards and add multi-tier shelf organisers. This simple addition to your pantry will help you clearly see what items you have whilst making them more accessible. 

• Utilise neglected corner space

Optimise your corner cabinets using a corner carousel to make tight spaces fully accessible. Pull-out storage space is also a practical way to help make your organisation more efficient.

• Add a pantry blackboard 

Add an extra function to your pantry by adding a chalkboard, or chalkboard paint, to your pantry door. This fun and practical trend can help you keep track of pantry stock when writing your shopping list! 

• Install a freestanding pantry 

If you are limited on space and budget, you can add a freestanding pantry to your kitchen to offer storage and style. This way you do not have to commit to a kitchen refurb to get the pantry of your dreams. 

You can buy a purpose-built pantry, or if you are feeling crafty you can even repurpose furniture such as an old book cabinet. Choose a colour that seamlessly blends your freestanding pantry among your kitchen cabinets, or you can paint your pantry in a bold colour to create a statement piece in your kitchen. 

• Add fluted or frosted pantry glass doors

Pantry doors with glass windows are a statement piece on their own. However, you can add an extra layer of elegance, texture and privacy by opting for fluted or frosted glass. This decorative glass can make your pantry become a focal point of your kitchen whilst letting light flow through.

• Add a spice rack to your pantry door 

The inside of your pantry door can be used as a space-saving solution. Attach a shallow spice, condiment or wine rack so you can easily view all your kitchen essentials. 

Make sure to organise your spice rack regularly and throw away any old or expired items.
