Pantry cabinets in Dunedin, shaped to suit your kitchen.
Older Dunedin kitchens tend to be small and closed off, with little room for a pantry. Storage may mean one tall cupboard, a closet at the end of the room or a nook beside the fridge. Sort what you buy into sizes and see which shelves would show each group clearly.

What does a pantry project cost?
Ask that the door swing and the depth of nearby cabinets be drawn side by side, so the shelf depths shown are really usable.

Get my itemized quoteDo all the shelves need to match in depth?
No. Shallow shelves keep small items visible, while a deeper shelf is useful for a large pot or case of drinks. Your kitchen width and shopping habits set the combination.
Can a tall kitchen cupboard serve as a pantry?
Yes, in many cottages. Check the interior width, door clearance and any pipes or wiring behind it, and treat any door change as a separate item to agree.

Dunedin cabinet planning
Keep the pantry aisle usable
Deeper storage on both sides may crowd a narrow room. A shallower wall can preserve access without abandoning useful shelving. See the planning FAQ for questions about the ordering process.
Make the everyday ingredients easier to return
A pantry stays more useful when regularly handled food has a convenient home. Group ingredients by the cooking routine rather than organizing every shelf solely by the appearance of the containers.
Compare the alternatives
A visually balanced display may not match how the kitchen works. Practical grouping can be more useful than identical-looking shelves. Use the concept gallery to describe a visual preference.
Put the decision in the quote
Include both storage depths and the remaining aisle in the drawing so that the proposed arrangement can be assessed as a room. Add this priority to your design request for Dunedin.
