The best kitchen designs are smart enough to never fall out of fashion, and Martha Stewart's pantry in her Maine home is an unrivaled example. Skylands, the 1925 Duncan Candler house Martha purchased in 1999, is defined by its remarkable attention to detail, and the evident thoughtfulness behind every design choice – led by the tall, vertical cabinets in her pantry.
When it comes to smart kitchen storage ideas, vertical cabinets have stood the test of time for longer than 25 years. In Martha's example, she ensures every inch of space (right up to the ceiling) is put to use, turning air into functional storage.
