What is the purpose of a walk-in pantry? A walk-in pantry is a storage space that can be used for anything from groceries to tools. Its purpose is the same as a larder, but generally a walk in pantry is larger and more often found in newer homes. 

Creating your own unique storage space The first step is deciding if you want a pantry, larder, or both. A larder is typically a large walk-in closet that can store dry goods such as sugar, flour, pasta, cereal, and other nonperishables. A pantry is usually smaller but still offers ample storage for canned goods such as vegetables and fruit. Next comes creating the design plan.

Design plan for max organisation Most kitchens have a designated area for pots, pans and utensils. But if you're looking to use up some space in your kitchen, installing a walk-in pantry with shelving or a larder on the wall will really help you maximise your day-to-day organisation. You'll be surprised at how much you can store there. In addition, having these items out of sight will save you time in the morning when getting ready for work because they won't need to be searched through every day.
