Kitchen larder units

Why the pantry has returned to the heart of kitchen design

In the past, the pantry was a separate room, often cold and dark. Today, as homes become more fluid and lifestyles more fast-paced, we need everything close at hand. But what are the essential items for a pantry?

Choosing a pantry cabinet is not just about adding a pantry unit; it is about considering how we live in the kitchen. For instance, do you prefer having everything on display, or do you love the neatness of closed doors? Do you often buy fresh produce, or do you stock up on monthly essentials? The answers to these questions guide the design of the cabinetry. With Scavolini, the design of your kitchen pantry is crafted step by step, based on your specific requirements and space.

Tall pantry cabinets

Within the realm of storage furniture, tall units are one of the most popular solutions for a simple reason: they utilise vertical height, leaving the worktop clear. However, they are not all created equal.

Some tall units boast pull-out equipment. Here, baskets glide on full-extraction runners, revealing your entire gourmet inventory in one single, effortless motion.

Are you a wine lover? A tall bottle rack unit is another element capable of transforming a standard kitchen into a sophisticated setting. Often, bottles end up occupying precious space on the kitchen worktop or, worse, are hidden on shelves where labels are difficult to read. An open-fronted tall unit solves this problem with elegance. Shaped compartments allow you to store bottles horizontally (essential for correct wine preservation) or at an angle, doing justice to your collection.

Closed pantry cabinets

What about the tools of the trade? Scales, food processors, knife sets, or your most-used spice jars find their ideal home in wall units with glass doors. Take the Mia by Carlo Cracco kitchen model as an example: here, the kitchen aesthetics echo that of professional brigades, where seeing the right tool immediately makes the difference between a successful recipe and a race against time.

What’s more, thanks to the internal lighting of the pantry cabinet, even a set of bowls becomes a design detail that makes the room more beautiful and welcoming. With a kitchen pantry cabinet, everything has its place.
