Newer Charlotte-area homes tend to come with a walk-in pantry and shelves 18 inches deep, which sounds generous until the cans at the back expire unseen. Older homes have a hall closet near the kitchen doing pantry duty. Either way, the answer is shelf depth matched to what is stored, roll-outs for anything deep, and zones you can label.
Ideas to start with
- Shallow shelves at eye level for cans and jars
- Roll-outs for the deep bottom shelves
- A landing counter for grocery day
- A door rack for spices and foil
