Step-by-Step Guide to Creating the Perfect Pantry with Cabinets

Candice Olson is all about blending function with beauty, and nothing speaks to this more than an organized pantry with cabinets. Whether you’re looking to overhaul a small nook or dedicate a full room to pantry storage, here’s how to do it Candice-style.

Step 1: Measure and Plan the Space

Start by measuring your pantry area and considering how much cabinet storage you need. Are you a bulk shopper? Do you need shelves for small appliances? Olson recommends starting with a clear vision of your needs and space before you design.

Step 2: Choose the Right Cabinets

Custom cabinetry is key to Olson’s approach, offering flexibility and elegance. Opt for cabinets that complement your kitchen’s style. Do you want traditional wood or a modern sleek finish? Make sure the cabinets provide plenty of space for both dry goods and kitchen supplies.

Step 3: Organize with Functionality in Mind

When arranging your pantry, think about how you use your kitchen. Place frequently used items at eye level and less-used items higher or lower. Drawers for cans, pull-out shelves for bulk items, and baskets for produce are all great ideas.

Step 4: Add Lighting

Illuminate your pantry with integrated cabinet lighting to make finding items easier. Candice Olson often highlights how good lighting can make a huge difference in both aesthetics and functionality.

Step 5: Accessorize

Finally, add Olson-style finishing touches. Elegant hardware, glass cabinet doors, or even a pop of color inside the pantry can elevate the space. It’s not just about storage—it’s about style!
