Whether in a separate room or tucked away in a cupboard or under the stairs, the pantries on this list bring both functionality and beauty.

An archway integrates this walk-in pantry into the rest of the kitchen. “The stone veneer makes it feel like an old stone cave-like room with a new house wrapped around it,” designer Tays & Co says.

5. London
What we love: Forest green kitchens with glass elements are trending in the U.K. these days. Here, the glass connects the pantry to the rest of the kitchen while the solid paneling on the bottom keeps clutter hidden away. The doors give the pantry the feel of a traditional shop.

What we love: What to do if you can’t fit a walk-in pantry? This cupboard shows how much storage can be packed into a much smaller space. Note the wide bottom drawers for corralling clutter and the spice rack on the door.
