The Power of a Walk-In Pantry- 5 Reasons to make this your next project!
You see them everywhere! They’re one of the most popular pins on Pinterest, always a full sized spread in Home and Garden, and even showcased as ‘real life kitchens’ on the Food Network. Most people think of a walk-in pantry as a dream kitchen, and just that a dream. In reality, a walk-in pantry is actually a great solution to a lot of ‘normal’ family’s problems and can be achieved easily with LA Design & Construction.
Here are the top five reasons that your next home improvement project needs to be a walk-in pantry:
- Getting away from the tyranny of your cabinets - Upper and lower cabinets are the standard in most kitchens. However, every cabinet has dead spots, upper shelves that are difficult to reach, bottom shelves that you need to crawl on the floor to get to, and very poor lighting. Rather than giving up all of that space to cabinets, you can consolidate the kitchen appliances and create a walk-in pantry guaranteed to make use of every available inch. Everything will be much more accessible and easier to keep track of.
- Room to store bulk items - Anyone who shops at a big box discount store knows how difficult it is to store 12 boxes of breakfast cereal in standard cabinets. A walk-in pantry makes it easy to store lots of the same thing by putting one in the front and the rest behind. Steel shelves, like the ones found at the local hardware store, can hold over 100 pounds, making bulk purchases easier.
- Away from heat - Cabinets built near stoves and ovens can get warm causing the food inside to spoil more quickly. A walk-in pantry will be removed from that heat creating a stable temperature to store your foods in. This can extend shelf life of your purchases.
- Makes choosing dinner easier - With everything in your pantry available in one glance, you are able to decide on meal choices much more easily. You won’t need to go from cabinet to cabinet trying to put together a meal; you can stand in one place and see all of your ingredients.
- Save on food costs - Everyone does it; we go to the store and buy something we already have three of. With a walk-in pantry, everything is visible so making your shopping list is easy to make.
Building a walk-in pantry can be done in almost every house. This is a NOT a DIY project and it’s imperative to speak to an expert who can help you layout your kitchen and install your pantry. When it comes to design, the options are limitless, you can opt for industrial shelves or rare woods and even choose a color scheme. Paying special attention to selecting a solid door, glass door, or even a barn door will add an additional element of style to your kitchen. Make a new walk-in pantry your next project, the instant update and functionality will make this upgrade your best yet!
