A pantry that you definitely want to include in your home-building plan. However, it may be difficult to install in a compact kitchen space. A daily Sumai writer who abandoned the pantry because he wanted to secure enough space for serving and placing things. Instead, by introducing a large high-counter type cupboard, we were able to create a kitchen that is easy to use. I will report on the situation.
Space is needed to make a pantry
ESSE online
When I built a house, I wanted to make a pantry in the kitchen. I wanted a storage space for food stock and a storage space for kitchen appliances such as bulky hot plates. The person in charge of the house maker told me that the pantry that can be made will change depending on the floor plan and space. The first proposal I made was a plan like this model. A storage with a small door is created on the back of the kitchen on the side of the door, and it is used as a pantry. By making full use of the space near the ceiling, it seems that a certain amount of storage can be secured. However, if that happens, the kitchen will feel very oppressive. I was really worried about whether to make it.
I want to secure a wide worktop

There are other reasons why I was worried. I was worried that the size of the cupboard placed beside the pantry would be compact. I wanted to store kitchen appliances such as microwave ovens, rice cookers, and electric kettles, and tableware that I usually use on the cupboard. There is also a desire to secure the worktop as wide as possible so that it is easy to serve dishes. When I consulted with the person in charge of the house maker, it was said that if I made a pantry, the size of the cupboard would inevitably become smaller.
Space saving by using the cupboard as a pantry

As a result of consideration, I decided to stop making pantry and install a large cupboard (width 270 x depth 45 x height 100 cm). After all, there was a strong desire to secure the size of the worktop and to make the kitchen as clean as possible. The lifestyle of the author's house is that the stock of food and drinking water is not so large and the number of tableware is small. Therefore, the decision that one of the drawers of the cupboard would be enough to cover the space dedicated to stock ingredients also supported this. After I actually started living, I decided to store long-term storage water for disaster prevention, which takes up space, in the storage under the stairs, and store foods in the fishing cupboard. However, it was perfectly fine without the pantry. There was also an advantage in limiting the space dedicated to stock ingredients to one drawer of the cupboard. Inventory management has become easier, and oversights such as expiration dates have been reduced. By the way, at the author's house, I basically buy the same items and decide the fixed position of the stock items to some extent. Vegetables such as onions and potatoes that are stored at room temperature are placed in a paper bag and placed in the open space for home appliances on the cupboard. Put the rice in a special case and put it in the refrigerator. At home, neither I nor my husband drink alcohol, so I don't need to have a stock of alcohol. I try to avoid buying plates and cups as much as possible because I want to keep enough space for the entire cupboard.
I quit the pantry and it was the correct answer
Looking back on it now, in the case of my home, I feel that it was the correct answer after quitting the pantry. The wide worktop makes it easy to serve dishes, and even when there are many visitors, you can arrange a lot of cups and plates for smooth hospitality. I also like the fact that the cupboard has a high counter so that you can write and work on your computer while standing between cooking. If you want a pantry but don't have the space in your kitchen, consider using a cupboard.
