Make the most of every square foot of your kitchen by adding a corner pantry into the mix. Corner pantries are not only functional but can be quite stylish, too—there are so many ways to customize their design to cater to your aesthetic.

Read on to admire 36 functional corner pantries that are storage saviors.

Built-in Shelves

Pantries are for more than just dry goods. Use yours to store extra cookware or even wine if you wish. This pantry features a built-in shelf that can accommodate a number of bottles.

Contrasted Hues

Even if your corner pantry is hidden behind closed doors, you can still paint it a color that you enjoy. In fact, being able to shut your pantry off from the rest of the kitchen may make you feel more inclined to experiment with a hue you wouldn't normally use.

Matching Colors

Not sure what hue to use? This green pantry is gorgeous and complements the bottom cabinetry in this classic kitchen.

Multifunctional Corner Pantry

If you're looking for a place to stash your microwave, consider placing it inside your corner pantry. You'll free up counter space and be able to camouflage an unsightly appliance at the same time.

Classic Drawers

If you're building a corner pantry from scratch, you may wish to include drawers like these. This will take your storage capacity even further and allow you to tuck away things like tin foil, plastic bags, and other essentials.

Spice Storage System

Thin, narrow shelves are excellent for holding spices, cooking sprays, condiments, and beyond. If you're working within a small kitchen, this is a great tactic to truly make the most of every inch of available space.

Install lighting inside of your pantry to make it easy to access whatever you need at all times of the day. You'll thank yourself when it's late at night or early in the morning.

This angled corner pantry includes space for appliances and also contains outlets, making it easy to tuck away those machines you use less often but do not wish to part with for good.

Labeled Canisters

Clear canisters make it super easy to find whatever ingredients you need in a pinch. Use printed labels to take your organization system to the next level.

Backsplash in Corner Pantry

Not all corner pantries are tucked behind closed doors. This one is out in the open, so an aesthetically pleasing backsplash is a must. We're loving the beautiful white subway tile.

Beadboard Walls

Beadboard also looks gorgeous in the pantry, particularly if you're drawn to English-inspired interiors. Paint it the color of your choosing for some extra charm.

Tiled Corner Pantry

Tackle the pantry floors if you'd like, too. Installing tile—whether it's permanent or peel and stick—will make a world of difference in transforming dated floors.

Wall Organizers

Small, affordable wall organizers are a great solution for the pantry. Declutter your under sink area and keep trash bags in the pantry instead.

Wired Shelves

Make use of the back of the pantry door, too. Wire shelves and even shoe holders can be handy for tucking away spices and the like.

Lazy Susan Shelf

If you're all about lazy Susans, you may wish to incorporate a permanent setup into your pantry, as seen here.

Wooden Produce Bins

Make use of your pantry's floor space—here, wooden crates sit on the ground and offer additional storage for fruits and veggies.
