Pantry and cupboard planning for Uppsala homes

SKU STO-01

Kitchen pantries

Tall pantries and under-counter food stores for Uppsala kitchens where floor area is scarce and grocery runs are frequent in winter.

Measuring Swedish galley kitchens

Many apartments near the Fyrisån use a single run of base units with one tall fridge cabinet. We measure clear widths between fridge and wall, then test whether a 40 cm or 60 cm pull-out tower leaves room for the dishwasher door.

Student flats often inherit a freestanding larder from a previous tenant. We check if it can stay or should be replaced with a shallow open shelf that does not block the cooker hood switch.

Dry goods versus daily crockery

Mixing flour sacks with dinner plates forces everyone to dig. We separate heavy dry goods on lower shelves, spices at eye height, and overflow baking trays in a slim vertical slot beside the oven.

In Fjärdingen kitchens with stone window sills, we sometimes place a shallow tray rail under the sill for oil bottles so they leave the main pantry for bagged staples.

Door swings in tight corridors

Pantry doors that open into a corridor collide with hallway coat hooks in older buildings. We prefer sliding panels or bifold fronts when the corridor is under 95 cm wide.

Where landlords forbid new wall openings, we use freestanding towers on felt pads so floors stay unmarked at move-out.

Cold-room and balcony food habits

Uppsala winters push households to store root vegetables on cool balconies. We draw a short list of sealed bins that tolerate frost and still stack inside the kitchen when spring arrives.

For households without a balcony, we plan a ventilated cupboard section away from the dishwasher steam so onions and potatoes last longer.

Fee notes for pantry work

A focused pantry consultation for one kitchen runs from 1 500 to 2 400 SEK. Full pantry packages with drawings, hardware lists, and carpenter coordination usually sit between 14 000 and 42 000 SEK depending on joinery complexity.

Larger homes that combine pantry, utility, and hallway work in one brief can reach the upper package band near 65 000 SEK when custom carcasses are required.
