Optimizing space without compromising design: this is a strategy that is not often easy when fitting out and / or decorating the kitchen. It is a delicate balance that must be found to bring the culinary space to life. The pantry plays an important role in all of this. Whether you cook for the family every day or rarely, the importance of a pantry is not to be questioned. It is not only practical; it is an element which also contributes to the decoration of your kitchen, mainly, if it brings a nice texture to it.
1. Chalkboard doors (or painted with slate paint) for the pantry
Do you find classic pantries boring? Bet on an original model with a pantry with blackboard doors. This can serve as a focal point in your modern kitchen. Chalkboard doors have a lot more to offer than a dark surface in the kitchen. It is also a convenient choice for jotting down to-do lists, an important message for children so that they don’t forget their lunch, etc. It is also an interesting medium for your children to express their creativity and artistic talent.
2. A beautiful texture provided by a wooden pantry
The use of natural materials in interior decoration. It is then a great idea to incorporate the warmth of wood into the kitchen, especially if it is contemporary. Break up the monotony of polished surfaces and bring both beautiful texture and unique contrast with the help of a pantry with wooden shelves, or even a wooden sliding door inspired by barn doors. Crates or different wooden boxes are also an interesting alternative to integrate the texture of wood in the kitchen; even if your pantry is made of another material.
3. Chic pantries with glass doors
We are now moving from wood to glass. Glass shelves are not particularly popular. However, sliding glass doors are more common. There are different styles of sliding glass doors. You will then easily find models adapted to your kitchen; whether it is modern, industrial or Asian. Frosted glass doors have the advantage of letting in natural light while hiding what’s inside your pantry. It must also be said that they bring a unique decorative note.
4. A few bricks for a unique decor
