Custom Kitchen Pantry Storage Solutions

For custom pantry organizers, we recommend a depth of 14 inches. This depth is ideal as it provides sufficient space to store a variety of items while ensuring that everything remains visible and easily accessible. A 14-inch depth allows for an organized and uncluttered arrangement of goods, making it a practical choice for enhancing the functionality of your pantry.

There other typical depth for pantry organizers, such as 12”, 14”, 16”, 20”, and 24”. We have the flexibility to design our closets to accommodate your unique design requirements.

Cost varies between $200 to $700 per linear foot based on several factors:

• ‍Size and layout of the pantry: Overall dimensions and specific layout of your pantry space play a significant role in determining the cost. Larger or uniquely shaped pantries may require more materials and specialized designs.
• ‍Choice of materials: We offer a range of materials to suit different aesthetics and budgets. The material choice will influence the final cost.‍
• Design complexity: A pantry with standard shelves may have a different price point compared to one with specialized features like our specialized pantry organizers accessories such as ROTAS™ by Lazy Lee® pantry spinners.‍
• Additional Customizations: Features like integrated lighting, unique hardware, or pull-out pantry units can add to the overall cost.

To provide you with an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs, we recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced Design Consultants. They will assess your space, discuss your preferences, and offer a detailed quote.

We recommend the following steps to achieve an organized and functional pantry:

• Assess your needs: Begin by taking inventory of the items you store in your pantry. This will help you understand the types of storage solutions you require, whether it's deep shelving for bulk items or specialized accessories like our Lazy Lee Pantry Spinners for easy access.
• Categorize items: Group similar items together, such as baking ingredients, canned goods, snacks, and spices. This not only makes items easier to find but also helps in maintaining an organized system over time.
• Use adjustable shelving: Our custom designed adjustable shelves allow you to modify the layout as per your evolving requirements.
• Maximize corner spaces: Corners often go underutilized in pantries. Consider incorporating corner shelves or rotating units like ROTAS pantry spinner to make the most of these spaces.
• Label everything: Clear labeling ensures that every item has a designated place, making it easier for all family members to maintain the organization.
• Prioritize accessibility: Place frequently used items at eye level, while lesser-used items can be stored higher up or at the bottom. Our Design Consultants can help you determine the optimal placement for each category.
• Incorporate sustainable practices:  Consider using containers made from recycled materials or eco-friendly bins to store loose items.
• Stay updated with trends: For instance, pull-out baskets and transparent containers are currently popular for their ease of use and visibility.
• Regular maintenance: Every few months, take some time to declutter and reassess your pantry's organization. Remove expired items and consider if adjustments need to be made based on new items or changing needs.

Deeper shelving doesn't necessarily equate to better or more efficient. In pantry design, while deeper shelves might seem like a solution to maximize space, they often lead to accessibility challenges, overlooked items, and potential waste. It's essential to strike a balance between depth and functionality. A well-designed pantry prioritizes easy access, visibility, and efficient organization over mere depth.

To mitigate any challenges with deep shelving we suggest incorporating pull-out bins and drawers. They can transform depth into a functional advantage.

Strategies to consider:

• ‍Adjustable shelving: This allows you to customize the heights based on the items you're storing, ensuring no wasted space between shelves.
• ‍Pull-out shelves: These make it easier to access items at the back, ensuring every inch of shelf space is utilized.
• Vertical shelf dividers: Perfect for storing trays, baking sheets, or cutting boards upright.
• Sliding baskets: Great for grouping smaller items together, making them easy to pull out and access.
• Sliding spice and wine racks: These utilize the inner door or wall space, keeping items organized and within reach.
• Corner shelves: Incorporating corner shelves can significantly enhance storage capacity, and providing easy access to items stored in the corners.
• ROTAS™ by Lazy Lee® pantry spinner: An excellent solution for corner spaces, providing 360-degree access to items.
• Drawer dividers: Helps segment drawers for utensils, napkins, or other smaller items, ensuring everything has its place.
• Utilize door space: Over-the-door organizers or racks can hold spices, wraps, or snacks.
• Go vertical: Use the full height of your pantry, even if it means keeping a step stool nearby for reaching higher shelves.

The key is to create a place for everything. When every item has a designated spot, it's easier to keep a small pantry organized and make the most of the available space. Our Design Consultants can provide tailored solutions for your specific pantry size and needs.
