Do Not Miss These 25+ Corner Kitchen Pantry Ideas
You should definitely search for some corner kitchen pantry ideas while planning your kitchen layout before constructing. It’s because those are advantageous in keeping your counters/islands looking neat and clear.
Although there are various types of the pantry, from walk-in, slide-out to some others, only some of them are suitable to be installed into your kitchen corner. I will suggest to you numerous eye-catching designs and arrange them right below!
Outstanding Walk-In Corner Pantry For Your Kitchen
Walk-in corner pantries are the favorite kind of pantry for many homeowners since they usually add an aesthetic look to the kitchen corner and provide a large area to store your kitchen things.
Numerous pantry shelving styles can apply to those storages, and you might want to look for some right here!
1. Classic Walk-In Kitchen Pantry With Single Glass Door
Let’s start this list with the most basic suggestion. You will always need a large enough area to install the walk-in pantry design. Just imagine, it is simply a tiny storage room right in your kitchen.
Therefore, to connect this dimension with the entire kitchen, the exterior of the pantry (wall or doors) need some attentive decoration.
I suggest using translucent glass doors and white frames in this predominantly white kitchen to help connect this area with the whole and create a gentle elegance.
2. Full-Glass Pantry Door With Rustic Wood Framing
Suppose you are a fan of Victorian kitchen interior design aesthetic and want to bring a hint of it into your modern cooking space. In that case, you can always decor your corner pantry like this.
With only a slight touch of the natural wood shade, the whole kitchen corner feels like brightening up significantly. I can even sense a lovely hint of coziness exuded from the corner.
3. Corner Built Walk-In Pantry With Double Half Glass Doors
The idea of using white-colored pantry doors that match the kitchen scheme is the same, yet, this layout adopts a different door style. Instead of the single glass door, this double or couple half glass door can help you see the pantry interior through the crystal-clear glasses.
Yet, you can avoid letting your pantry look too exposed, thanks to the other wooden halves.
4. Elegant Designed Door For Walk-In Corner Pantry
Inside this white-toned kitchen, I adore the pantry door concept. Not every time you have to consider the coherence, applying the contrastive hue will also work. This somewhat bigger walk-in pantry’s storage corner look can be enhanced by using an all-black single door.
There are various ways to spruce up the pantry, but I recommend picking a less intense shade than black. The gray color that mixes white and black, for example, will be appealing.
5. Walk-In Corner Pantry With Shelves On Door
You can utilize the space behind your pantry doors by installing more shelves onto those solid color flush doors. If your pantry has 2 doors, you can have 2 more places to make room for small spice jars, boxes, or canned food.
One advantage of creating a corner walk-in pantry’s design is the food storage is right beside the oven and counters. Thanks to that, it will be very convenient to take things out from there.
6. Non-Diagonal Corner Pantry With Pocket Door
This kitchen corner pantry design is also an efficient way to create hidden storage inside your cooking area. It is much like a tiny separate room at the corner, so you don’t need to worry much about its exterior decoration.
Additionally, I suggest using the pocket door with the matched color to the room theme (in this situation is white). Once you open, the door will smoothly slide into the gap without creating any creaky, annoying sound.
This is how to install a pocket door into your kitchen’s pantry corner!
7. Blind Corner With Gray Pantry Shelving
Adopting the same ideas as the previous one (using a pocket door), there is a huge difference between them. The placement of this one is a bit darker since it is placed in the nook of the cooking room.
Therefore, starting a project to decorate kitchen ceiling is essential to enhance the look in whole and the lighting quality or air ventilation inside your hidden pantry in particular.
On the other hand, I have to admit that the gray coloring shelves add a modernistic breeze to this pantry corner.
8. Wooden Brown Kitchen Layout With Corner Walk-In Pantry
Assembling brown-colored cooking space is not complicated, and your priority is to match brown shades together. Based on that, once adding or building a walk-in pantry inside your kitchen corner, you should consider that warm tone when decorating.
My recommendation for you (if your kitchen is following a similar aesthetic) is to install a full wood/wood-like exterior for your walk-in pantry and create a matched coherence with the other kitchen areas.

One big advantage of cabinet pantries compared to walk-in ones is that they are smaller, a bit easier to be furnished, and significantly contribute to the whole cooking zone’s look. Are you curious? I will show you my suggestions here.

13. Coffee Corner With Small Pantry At Aside
