A pantry is a bit like the new kitchen island, once an element that every homeowner dreamed of becoming essential when designing or remodeling a kitchen. This means pantries are getting smaller and more clever in their designs, making it possible for them to squeeze into a kitchen with limited square footage.

Size, positioning, and layouts all need to be spot on to make this addition to your kitchen worthwhile, especially if it's going to be on the smaller side. Pantries aren't cheap and even with small designers they do take up space, so you need to ensure you are getting all of your pantry design right.
