20 Faux Kitchen Pantry Ideas

Do you have kitchen pantry envy? As in your kitchen doesn’t have a pantry, but if only there was a way to make one appear, you’d ask where to sign up? I can relate. We didn’t have a pantry in our townhouse kitchen, so we had to use two of the cabinets to store our food, which meant less space for everything else.

Our new home does have a pantry, but it’s kind of teeny-tiny, so I’ve pulled together 20 faux kitchen pantry ideas.

I know that I’ll be using some of these in our new kitchen layout and hopefully, if you don’t have a kitchen pantry or if it’s lacking in space, you will find some inspiration here, too.

Faux Pantry Cabinets

From Caroline Panache, this once was a utility cabinet for paint storage,

now it’s near a full fledged kitchen pantry.

I love how she’s managed to pry every ounce of space out of this cabinet for her kitchen needs.

From The Shabby Creek Cottage, faux kitchen pantry from store bought lockers.

She found an ideal space and shows you just how easy this was to pull together.

Oh-la-la, can you say chicken wire? And look at the open shelving above!

You’ll find this makeshift pantry and lots other farmhouse inspired decor at Linen and Lavender.

Love of Family and Home painted this cute little corner cabinet to store all of her canned goods,

proving that you don’t need to put all of your pantry items together on one place.

Tool Box Diva needed a kitchen pantry, so she made this mobile one from scratch,

which includes a detailed tutorial on just how to make one yourself.

Seen on BHG. stacked storage cubes, curtain and curtain rod, done.

Open shelving faux kitchen pantries

From Ella Claire, a faux pantry of the most visually stunning kind.

Here’s a no kitchen pantry idea with purpose! This was all pulled together for only $24 starting with dollar store bins, but it’s so organized that I could probably find an item in this pantry sooner than I could find that same item in my own kitchen!

Many of these items would normally be hiding in the pantry of a home with a kitchen pantry. No need to hide them if you can show them off like this display from Homestead Revival.
