Basic 2-door
This is your no-frills wooden pantry with storage shelves. Its twin doors are easy to operate, and often have magnets that keep the doors shut. This pantry rests on the floor and the height of shelves is easy to use without overstretching. Available in kitchen-friendly colors (white, grey, steel-grey, and darker shades), they will blend seamlessly with other kitchen furniture and interiors.
Multi-door with cabinets
This is a larger pantry with multiple compartments, cabinets, and drawers at the lower height, and a shelf in the mid-area to place kitchen appliances such as your microwave, juice-maker, grinder, and so on. You can beautify it with small planters and a couple of food photos!
This large storage capacity pantry will be good for you if:
- You are a family and have different food habits that require a larger variety of bulk storage
- You like socializing and frequently invite guests for dinner at short notice. Your ample bulk inventory will prevent any emergencies.
- You need a multipurpose pantry that stores accessories, cutlery, crockery, napkins, and other kitchen essentials in one convenient unit.
This large and efficient food pantry is available in a wide range of finishes and will find its home in any kitchen.
Low-height with multiple storage facilities
This one is your amiable storage unit with a closed-door compartment, a shelf, and a pantry-top. Like the above multi-door style, this unit also takes in a variety of accessories and gadgets apart from food storage. However, its low height offers ample counter space not only to place gadgets but also to use them at a convenient, around 24" height. While the essentials can be easily stacked or piled on the shelf, your food items go into the closed-door compartment. A great balance of multi-level functional spaces!
On the flip side, the food compartment works in a stooping or squatting posture, which may be inconvenient and stressful for persons with back pain.
This style will blend better with other similar low or counter-top height furniture. Being wooden furniture, it matches almost all types of kitchens. Be careful to choose the finish that goes with your dominating kitchen tone.
Bonus benefit: this pantry is also a trolley; you can move it on its heavy-duty castors.
Single-door ventilated
This is a unique style that creates natural air circulation inside the food storage compartment. The design has wooden slats fixed to the door-frame with slight gaps for airflow. On the sides, you have planks at multiple heights to store the essentials and accessories. The appliances can go on the pantry-top.
This is a metal-wood combination pantry, with a metal frame and wooden body. A good way to make it stand out is to opt for a natural finish or French polish and let the wood's texture and grains show off! Match its woody appearance with other wooden décor items -- a slatted square wooden plant-holder, stools with wooden seats, and vinyl flooring with matching wood texture will host this pantry very well in your kitchen.
