Larder - What is it?

What is a Larder you ask??  Good question....I was asking myself the same thing !

A traditional Larder is a cool room or area for storing food prior to use.  Originally it was where raw meat was Larded (covered in fat) to be preserved.  Larders were commonplace in houses before the use of refrigerators.

These days a Larder is more commonly known as a Pantry.

They are available in all shapes & sizes depending on your storage needs.

Adding a free standing Larder/Pantry Cabinet in your kitchen can increase your storage capacity, be more organized, and free up some wall cabinet space for artwork or perhaps some floating shelving.

Try adding a painted Larder/Pantry for a splash of color !





The best way to maximize your kitchen space would be to have a walk-in Larder/Pantry if you have space available. Use pull out drawers and a variety of shelving to customize your pantry to fit your needs. It can be hidden behind solid doors or make it feel like part of the kitchen by using frosted sliding doors.





Do you have a Larder/Pantry?  What do you keep in it?
