If a pantry is part of your kitchen design, you might be considering some door options. Pantry doors can add an interesting feature and elevate your kitchen design. While not every pantry needs a door, a door can help hide things away if necessary. Here are a few pantry door ideas to consider for your home design:
- Consider glass pantry doors.
- Use a sliding barn door.
- Add door storage.
- Add a pop of bold color.
- Consider a swinging door.
- Match your door with your cabinetry.
- Go doorless.
1. Consider Glass Pantry Doors
Glass pantry doors can add a touch of elegance to any kitchen and are also a popular kitchen cabinet trend. If you don’t want a clear look into your pantry, consider a glazed or textured glass. This will give your kitchen a cohesive look with some privacy, but still add something special.
2. Use a Sliding Barn Door
If you love the farmhouse design aesthetic, consider using a sliding barn door as a pantry door. There are many ways to use a barn door in your custom home design, and the kitchen pantry can be a perfect spot.
The benefits of using a sliding barn door as a pantry door are that it doesn’t take up extra space like a traditional door does when open. Because it simply slides along the wall, it won’t swing out into your kitchen, potentially blocking foot traffic. However, you do need some wall space for the door to slide to allow for an opening.
3. Add Door Storage
Kitchens can never have too much storage. Adding some door storage is a great way to add more storage to your kitchen design. Doing so makes the most of your pantry space and helps you stay better organized.
Ask for built-in shelves or racks to organize smaller items. Or, you can look for door storage attachments. This would be a great spot for a spice rack, too.
4. Add a Pop of Bold Color
If you’re looking for a simple but impactful pantry door, consider simply painting your pantry door a bold color. This could also be choosing a wood for the pantry door in a tone or finish that contrasts and stands out.
Using a color in a concentrated spot or an accent like a pantry door is just one of the tips for decorating with bold colors. This allows you to experiment or try out using bold colors in your home decor without going overboard.
5. Consider a Swinging Door
If you have a walk-in pantry, you might appreciate hands-free access. One of the benefits of a walk-in pantry is being able to store larger items, like cookware or kitchen appliances. When you’re carrying these larger items back and forth between your pantry and your kitchen, a swinging door allows you to get in and out without needing to open the door.
6. Match Your Door With Your Cabinetry
To keep your kitchen feeling cohesive, consider matching your pantry door to your cabinetry. There are a variety of kitchen cabinet styles to choose from, ranging from traditional to modern. If you want your pantry door to stand out a little bit more, consider sticking to the same style as your cabinets, but choose a different finish or paint color.
7. Go Doorless
If you prefer a more open look in your kitchen, you may prefer to simply have no doors. However, if you do decide to go this route, consider framing the entryway with some nice trim. This is one of the creative uses for interior trim and makes the pantry entryway look intentional and well-thought-out.
