Larder Units: How To Organise Your Kitchen Essentials
A well-organised larder unit doesn’t just look beautiful - it makes cooking and meal prep quicker, easier, and more enjoyable. Here’s how to get the most out of your larder cupboards:
- Group similar items together - for example, all jars on one shelf, baking supplied on another, etc.
- Invest in matching storage containers to keep your rice, flour, pasta, and other dried goods airtight and good for longer.
- Remove any out-of-date items you currently have before you transfer them over to your beautiful new larder cupboard.
- Don’t neglect fresh foods - larders are great for storing hard-wearing fruits and vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, and apples.
- Keep your favourite, most-used items at eye level so you can see when you’re running out easily.
Kitchen Larder Unit FAQs
What is a larder cupboard, and how is it different from a pantry?
A larder cupboard is a dedicated storage space in the kitchen for food items, typically located in a cool, dry area to help preserve perishable goods. It often features shelves and compartments for storing non-perishable items like canned goods, spices, and dry foods.
Unlike a pantry, which may be a larger room or space, a larder cupboard is generally smaller and can be integrated into kitchen cabinetry. The main difference is that a larder cupboard tends to be more compact and designed for easy access to frequently used items.
How can I incorporate a larder cupboard into my kitchen design?
To incorporate a larder cupboard into your kitchen design, consider integrating it into unused space such as a corner or alongside your existing cabinetry. Larder cupboards can be built into the kitchen layout as a freestanding unit, or they can be part of the kitchen cabinetry, often with pull-out shelves or rotating mechanisms for easy access.
Depending on your kitchen size, you can opt for a traditional, enclosed larder cupboard, or a more modern version with open shelving or glass doors for easy visibility.
What are the benefits of having a larder cupboard in your kitchen?
The benefits of having a larder cupboard include increased organisation, accessibility, and preservation of food. It provides dedicated space for storing non-perishable foods, making it easier to keep your kitchen organised and clutter-free.
Larder cupboards also help keep food cool and dry, extending the shelf life of ingredients. Additionally, having a larder cupboard reduces the need for bulky pantry storage, allowing for more functional kitchen space.
Are larder cupboards suitable for small kitchens?
Yes, larder cupboards are ideal for small kitchen spaces. No matter the size of your kitchen, a larder cupboard can slot into your kitchen to help maximise your available space and ensure you have total visibility of all your dry goods.
