How to arrange your pantry
Like a huge cupboard, while being an internal space in its own right, a pantry needs to be particularly well arranged to ensure we obtain the optimum benefit from it. So choose user-friendly solutions to ensure you have everything close at hand, while de-cluttering your living space. This area can be used to tidy and store your household appliances, your food reserves as well as anything not immediately useful in the kitchen. So for clever storage, take advantage of all the wall space by installing large (high and deep) shelves.
Also remember, when you come home from shopping to arrange your food by expiry date, to avoid throwing away products that could have been eaten.
Finally, place your appliances at chest height to minimise strain on your back when using them.
What size should your kitchen pantry be?
If you are working on renovation plans for your home and are considering a kitchen pantry, consider allowing at least 4m2. Of course, if you have more space available, you will benefit even more. Also, to gain a precious few square centimetres and optimise the passageway between areas, consider installing a sliding or retractable screen door.

Where to place your pantry
Whether referred to as a larder or a pantry, these little rooms are most commonly placed adjacent to the kitchen for practicality.
This extra room does not necessarily have to have a window or an opening to the outside, but needs to be well ventilated, especially if it is also used as a utility room.
Choose a room on ground level to ensure it is easy to access and safe even if you have your arms full.
