Assessing Your Pantry Needs: Function Meets Style

Before buying bins or screwing in shelves, pause and assess:

• How big is your pantry space?

• What types of items do you store—bulk goods, snacks, baking supplies?

• What’s your aesthetic vibe—purely practical or open-shelf display goals?

Pro tip: A successful pantry combines efficient storage with cohesive style, especially if you're embracing the industrial farmhouse trend in your kitchen.

Top Industrial Farmhouse Pantry Shelving Options

Ready to upgrade your pantry’s bones? These shelving styles work great with the industrial farmhouse look:

1. Metal Shelving Units

Durable and edgy, freestanding metal racks or wall-mounted wire shelves can hold everything from canned goods to small appliances. They're great for weight, visibility, and that classic industrial appeal.

2. Wooden Shelves with Metal Accents

Mix rustic warmth with strong lines. Pair natural wood planks with iron shelf supports or dark metal brackets for a balanced, timeless look.

Try this: The Cortland Pantry Shelf Support both function and flair—perfect for heavy pantry storage with style.

3. Open Shelving vs. Closed Cabinets

Want easy access or a clean look?

• Open shelves are great for showcasing jars and baskets.

• Closed cabinets hide the clutter but still benefit from farmhouse touches like shaker doors and vintage hardware.

Smart Storage Solutions to Keep Your Pantry Tidy

Once your shelves are up, it’s time to organize what goes on them.

Wire Baskets & Bins

Perfect for grouping snacks, potatoes, or paper goods.
Add style with the Arlen Tiered Metal Basket — a go-to for vertical storage and instant visual appeal.

Mason Jars & Glass Canisters

Decant your dry goods for a clean, uniform look.
Upgrade with the Glass Canister with Wooden Lid — a customer favorite for form and function.

Labels & Systems That Work

Styling Your Pantry: Decorative Touches That Add Charm

Your pantry isn’t just for storage—it’s an extension of your kitchen’s personality.

Rustic Signs & Wall Art

Inspire yourself while you reach for snacks. Add a farmhouse quote, vintage grocery sign, or even a framed chalkboard.

Greenery

Potted herbs, faux eucalyptus, or hanging plants can soften the space and freshen up the vibe.

Vintage-Inspired Accessories

Think wire egg baskets, wooden crates, or repurposed spice tins. Add visual texture without taking away functionality.
