Mid-Century Modern Pantries

Walnut tones, slim legs, clean horizontals, sliding doors and warm accents for a retro-inspired pantry.

Mid-century modern design is warm, clean and playful. Walnut and teak tones, flat-front doors, horizontal lines, sliding panels and pops of color such as mustard or teal give a pantry a retro-inspired feel. In Nashville, with its many mid-century ranches and a love of design from that era, a pantry in this style feels like it belongs.

We look to the lines of the house for cues. Long horizontal handles, tapered legs on a counter, a sliding door in a warm wood and a color accent inside the shelves set the style. Interior shelves may be stepped or floating, and lighting can be a globe or a simple linear fixture. Materials stay honest and finishes natural. The result is a pantry that feels both vintage and entirely current.
