15 Smart Industrial Style Pantry Ideas to Save Space
I have to admit that I love having an organized kitchen. I don’t like clutter and really try to keep everything tidy… but that is not always easy.
Nowhere is that more true than the pantry, so this week I decided to find some serious inspiration to get it organized. I ended up finding so many beautiful industrial designs, so today I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you guys!
A Gorgeous Mix of Textures
Okay, can we talk about texture? I am just in love with how industrial-style pantries are naturally filled with it. You get that beautiful blend of wood and metal, which always creates such a warm and inviting look.
For those leaning into a more modern-industrial vibe, you can absolutely bring in some polished surfaces as part of the design. In a super sleek, contemporary kitchen with those shiny, man-made finishes, an industrial pantry feels like a breath of fresh air.
It adds that little ‘something special’ to the room. And the finishing touches? I’m obsessed with using simple Edison bulb lighting and some budget-friendly baskets to complete a space that is just as efficient as it is beautiful.
Function Comes First
What I love most about industrial pantry designs is how they always put function before anything else. This approach is such a lifesaver in small kitchens, letting you make the most of every last bit of limited space.
The shelves are often simple wood, which I absolutely adore because it means you can expand or scale them back over time as your needs change. It creates such an adaptable pantry!
You can tuck it away behind a set of gorgeous translucent glass doors or even a sliding barn-style door, which you know I love. Sometimes, you can lean more modern and choose modular cabinet units that slide out easily, becoming a seamless part of the kitchen itself.
Finding Those Clever Spaces
You know that one awkward corner in the kitchen that just seems impossible to use? I feel like every home has one! Well, I have found that it’s the absolute perfect place for a pantry. It is such a genius way to finally tap into that forgotten area.
A corner pantry just needs some adaptable shelving and cabinets that are a little different from your usual storage solutions. And if you can squeeze a lazy susan cabinet in there, it becomes even better! Honestly, any little nook can be turned into a gorgeous pantry.
Whether it’s a niche next to the kitchen, the space under the staircase that’s just collecting dust, or even an open spot between the kitchen and dining room, pretty much anything can work.
