Pantry Perfection!

In our latest blog post, we show you how to create the perfect pantry which will benefit the whole family.
Create tonnes of storage space for tins, jars, bottles & boxes and make room in your kitchen by delegating infrequently used utensils and appliances to the pantry.
Read on to discover more about our pantry and kitchen products and take our tutorial in creating your own perfect pantry with ClosetMaid!

Pantry's are a really great way to regain space in your kitchen. Your pantry needn't be in your kitchen, but if you can afford to dedicate a downstairs cupboard or small section of your utility room, garage or perhaps an alcove in your kitchen to transform into a pantry, you will reap the benefits later.
Whether your space is big or small, you will wonder how you ever managed without your pantry after your installation.

With ClosetMaid's ventilated wire shelving, you can create a storage space that is versatile and will help you to make the most of your space. The ventilated design will also encourage airflow to help prevent moisture building up, or dust settling on those less used items.
Add basket systems to store loose vegetables, or table linen. You can even put them on lockable casters to wheel your drawer system into the kitchen as and when required. Our wooden tops add a bit of style and give that butchers block feel.

Keep things simple and order one of our kitchen or pantry packages to suit your needs Choose the style that best matches your needs and select the size nearest to your available space. Simply trim the shelving down to your exact measurements for a perfect fit!
