Most kitchen homeowners have a kitchen pantry or plan to have one if they are building a new home or remodeling their kitchen. While some may have the luxury of a walk in pantry there is also the option of a pantry cabinet if there is not one.
A pantry in the kitchen can either be a great asset or hindrance if it is not designed or incorporated in the right way. There are some important questions that should not be overlooked when designing your new kitchen pantry. You want a pantry that will add to the overall flow and function of the kitchen and not one that ends being in the way or creates those unwanted kitchen traffic jams. The following questions will help you get the storage space and arrangement that a pantry is meant to give you.
Questions to Answer and Discuss With Your Designer

- What type of lighting will you need?
- How will you gain access to top shelves?
