Pantry upper cabinet directly on the countertop

Charlotte Reist

2 years ago

The pantry area looks like an upper cabinet hung directly above/on top of a base with countertop - are they both 24" deep? Interested in doing something like this in my kitchen, but was thinking a shallow 15" deep base cabinet with a 15" upper practically sitting on top of it.

In this case the base cabinet is 24" deep and the countertop cabinet is 17" Deep. You could absolutely stack 2 15" deep cabinets on top of each other to create a pantry though. Just be sure to thoughtfully consider the seam and how you will handle that. Best of luck with your project!

I am afraid blur will be limiting. I like the idea of gray, then in bring in the blue with accents. I would remove the lone cabinet on the left. Is it possible for you to build a pantry? A place to store the freezer is my goal with that. Where is your refrigerator? Just trying to get the lay of the land. A pantry would not be any deeper than the cabinet already there and with a sliding door you free up lots of space. Build it the width you need to fit the freezer and then about a 12 -18inch wide shelf space for boxed items, cereal etc. Leave enough room to fit your refrigerator next to it...about 30 -32 inches is needed. It looks like you have nearly 7 feet to play with. I know this pic is a washer/dryer, but just to give you the feel.

Love drawers in kitchens..especially in lower cabinets..of course sink and stove and refrigerator and dishwasher are handier if they are close together..my favorite feature is a nice big pantry so all your stuff can be in easy...accessible...open to view shelving...a counter...food,dishes,occasional use cookware and small appliances...all right where you can see it and access it easily...nice and close adjacent to the kitchen. This leaves all storage in the kitchen for every day use pieces...this creates less need for upper cabinets so your kitchen can have more windows and a less closed in feeling to work in

HI Sophie, Thanks so much for the suggestions. We would never have thought of moving the sink - I guess you get used to things where they have always been! Just so I can understand and visual where you suggest moving things to, when you say move the fridge down to opposite the pennisula, do you mean near the entry to the kitchen (where the small three cupboards are shown on the drawing above) or where the cooktop is currently? I know one concern that my mum has is that the width of the fridge will jut out too far into the kitchen, taking up too much room. I've attached a picture with dimensions on it. Keep the suggestions coming :)

I agree with 'Kitchens and Baths', you are leaving yourself precious little counterspace to accommodate 2 side-by-side wall ovens? Can't you stack them if you need 2? Also, a warning, I wouldn't be taking anything out of those ovens and "turning to the island" with them...not with a quartz countertop!! You'll have that whole end all scorched...unless you are quick and accurate with lots of trivets! But your "open shelving" is going to look like a pinched-in forgotten corner pantry...you really need more space for them too , if it is going to look right. Right now as it is, 2 feet of them are all but beyond reach (over the lower countertop) and then a mere 2 feet worth of actually OPEN, available space you can reach, then the monster of the floor to ceiling cabinet will be in the way. It will be like reaching around into a closet. I would seriously reconsider this design BEFORE your electrician shows up--and before you order all those (expensive!) cabinets. But as for the island 'crowding' the walkway--it looks as if your drawing says 1.2 meters? That's plenty and more than enough, even for running boisterous kiddos, you're fine there. Best of Luck.
