Brits Go Mad For Practical Pantries maybe its the GBBO effect

So, season five of The Great British Bake Off has begun and we're loving it … our spoof photos show we think Kate and Wills could be too in their new kitchens. 

It could be the Great British Bake Off effect, but we've seen a big spike in pantry sales since the start of the show in 2010. In fact, Betta Living’s pantries have been selling like hot cakes – becoming the best-selling storage solution for fitted kitchens. 

A contemporary pantry cupboard, or larder, represents an exciting combination of classic and modern kitchen design. Dating back to the 17^th century in American history, when homeowners incorporated small rooms known as ‘butteries’ just off the kitchen to store food, the pantry has a rich traditional history that seems to have had a resurgence thanks to Mary Berry’s nostalgic traditional charm. 

Here's an example of some of our ‘contemporary classic’ fitted pantries that are proving huge sellers in kitchens: 

Cupboard Larders  

Pull-out units and mesh wire storage baskets can be installed for excellent organisation and visibility of storage goods. Pull-out baskets allow ingredients and cookware to be kept in easy reach.

Bi-Fold Cupboard Larders

Cupboard larders can also be installed with bi-fold doors for rooms where access is limited – a great space-saving storage solution. Shelving can also be fitted bespoke around the larder units according to larder and cupboard size.

Practical Pull-Out Pantries  

We also offer a slim-line, pull-out design – another great space-saving option. Offering plentiful shelving, the pull-out pantry provides ample space for ingredients, as well as great visibility, so that they don’t get lost at the back of shelves.
