Planning a Pantry Unit for a 100 sq.ft. kitchen

Urban Indian apartments are getting compact by the day, including luxury homes. This is especially true in space-starved cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and beyond. In fact, the kitchen is turning to be smaller than the balcony in many premium homes. This calls for truly smart modular kitchen designs and pantry unit planning that leverage every trick in the efficient design book.

Accordingly, you need to consider the options available to you for one of the most important areas in your compact kitchen – the modular pantry unit. Thankfully, there are a host of design and customization options available. Here are some popular design styles when it comes to the pantry unit in a compact modular kitchen.

Tall Pantry Unit

The tall pantry unit extends from floor, right up to the ceiling. This means it utilizes maximum vertical space available to you when the floor space is limited. It also makes it real easy for you to store and organize your entire pantry in easy sight. Everything is in unit, and hence, you don’t have to move around a lot in your kitchen to fetch things. Such a tall pantry unit becomes especially useful if your modular kitchen is being used by more than one person at the same time on most days. You can avoid bumping into each other given the lack of space, and yet, not have to wait to fetch all the items you need from the pantry to get cooking.

A point to remember when opting for a tall pantry unit in your modular kitchen is that if you have short people or elderly members in your home, considering placing the items they will need frequently, on a lower part of the tall pantry unit. You can also opt for drawer units with doors that can be pulled down easily to view and access the items on the taller shelves.

Pull Out Kitchen Pantry Unit

A pull out kitchen pantry unit is a smart way to access items, without having to struggle to access the items placed at the back. Typically, in a compact modular kitchen, you will have to opt for panty unit drawers that are deep enough to make for lack of width available to you. This translates into having to stack pantry items in 2 to 3 rows. But with the pull out kitchen pantry unit, you can easily view the items even in the back rows, saving you lot of time and effort, especially on busy mornings.

While opting for a pull out kitchen pantry unit, it is important to opt for handless drawers, soft close hinges, and other accessories that make it easy to pull and push back the drawer, effortlessly. After all, it will weight a lot owing to the items stocked; any compromise on convenience takes out the fundamental benefits associated with a modular kitchen pantry unit.

L-shaped Pantry Unit

Another popular design option that has emerged for modular kitchen pantry units in case of compact spaces is the L-shaped pantry unit. It lets you optimize on corner area spaces. This lets you opt for wide, single-row organizing style despite having a small kitchen to yourself. Moreover, you can choose to have a two-column door or a single-column door for the L-shaped pantry unit, depending on your stocking and organizing needs. For instance, if you tend to have too many cereal boxes, you might want to use an entire L-shaped pantry drawer for the same, and hence, opt for a single-column door style.

Use these ideas as a starting point with your modular kitchen and pantry unit designer to discover the possibilities relevant to your kitchen. Happy pantry organizing!
