Maximize every inch of space with these genius ideas for making the most of your tiny pantry. From pull-out drawers, to rotating cabinets and cool slide-out panels, find out how to give your tiny pantry the feel of a walk-in butler’s pantry with these tips that help find space you didn’t even know you had.

What is the best way to maximize your pantry space? “Add extra shelves, as there is often a lot of dead space between each one,” says interior designer Nicole Sassaman, author of 100 Sassy Tips.

This amazing design added shelves and custom pull-out cabinets that easily transformed dead space into functional storage. It maximizes every bit of space in the kitchen with custom pull-out cabinets and shelves, tall sliding panels perfect for spices and expert use of cabinet doors for boxed foods. It makes the most of space up high — and of space down low. We officially have pantry envy.

If you don’t have a skilled contractor on speed dial for custom pull-out drawers (or the budget for one), these shelves and pull-out baskets maximize storage in a small space. “Choose baskets for your pantry shelves that are deep enough that they use up the space between each shelf,” says Sassaman. “Label the fronts with something fun and stylish so that you know what is inside of each one.”
