It is very popular among consumers.

1. Refrigerator pantry cabinet: Generally speaking, the main role of this pantry cabinet is for the overall good-looking, because the refrigerator on the cabinet is generally not open. As for the choice of refrigerator size, in addition to the size of your own kitchen, but also depends on personal cooking habits.

Height: The visual effect is better to keep in the same level with the highest point of wall cabinet, generally in 2200mm-2400mm.

Width: According to the size of built-in appliances, refrigerators, hardware respective to design.

Cautions of Pantry Cabinet Design

1. In the design of pantry cabinets, it is best to choose built-in household appliances, because its heat dissipation is not from the left and right sides, as in the traditional way, but from the front. For non-built-in ovens, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other household appliances, space needs to be left behind or above them to dissipate heat.

2. When designing a pantry cabinet, we usually don't put it in the middle of the kitchen cabinet, nor do we use a partitioned kitchen cabinet, because it will affect the appearance. Usually, pantry cabinets are designed at both ends of the cabinet, with "L" and "N" shapes, so that it will look more complete and atmospheric.

3. The pantry cabinet has rich storage function. If used with various pull-out baskets, it will be more powerful and the items stored in the cabinet will be easier to use. Pull-out baskets can be the perfect partner for pantry cabinet storage, which can make full use of the deep space. Even if the items are repeatedly picked up, which will not disrupt the order. It not only makes full use of space, but also makes the kitchen look neat and tidy, which is the new fashion and new mainstream of modern kitchen.

The Advantages of Pantry Cabinet

1. No dust accumulation at the top

Wall cabinet is closed to the ceiling, and there is no gap, so you do not have to worry about the dust accumulation of the top of the wall cabinet.

2. Space is not wasted

The pantry cabinet can hold a variety of dishes and appliances. The space on the upper level can put the pots and pans that are not commonly used. The tableware not often used can be put on the top, often used on the bottom.

3. The kitchen is more holistic

Entry cabinets make the kitchen integrated, which is also more beautiful. If the hanging cabinets are made lower, the wall in the kitchen is invisibly separated into three layers. And the wall cabinets hanging in half, it’s very unattractive.

Disadvantages of Pantry Cabinet

1. Higher price

Compared to the base cabinet, the price of the pantry cabinet will certainly be a little higher. The price will naturally be higher when more panels are used.

2. Not reaching too high

For some houses with high floor height, we cannot easily reach the pantry cabinets, picking up items is very inconvenient. And the upper cabinets should not be placed too heavy items.

Is it necessary to choose pantry cabinets?

1. Depending on the space

If the kitchen space is larger, pantry cabinets do not have to bear the daily storage needs, or you have high requirements for the overall space aesthetics, then you can choose pantry cabinets. If the kitchen area is small, and the floor height is high, from practical considerations, it is recommended that cabinets do not do high cabinets, so as to facilitate access to items.

2. Depending on the storage

Kitchen can be considered one of the more cluttered places, such as a variety of spices, pots and pans, household appliances and other bits and pieces of things. Without good storage, the kitchen will look messy.

3. Depending on the height of the floor

As the kitchen floor height, personal height is different, the required operating space is also different. If the height is not very special, it is generally recommended to choose pantry cabinets. But if your kitchen height is 5meters or 6 meters, it is not recommended to choose it. If the cabinet is too high, it is very inconvenient to take things, and the cabinet is virtually useless.

It varies from person to person whether the pantry cabinet works well or not. If the budget is sufficient, pantry cabinets can also be equipped with a high cabinet pullout, so that the storage effect will be better.

All kitchen appliances are cleverly hidden in the pantry cabinet, which not only saves space, but also makes the kitchen more neat and beautiful. The design of pantry cabinets provides a new solution for the storage of kitchen utensils. It is more in line with modern people's pursuit of easy and comfortable home management.
