Kitchen with pantry (your ideas welcome!)

Hello, everyone!

I'm looking for your help. It would be great if you could give me some ideas.

One day I will have new kitchen. My dream kitchen. And I'm getting there with baby steps.
I've used IKEA Home Planner to design my new kitchen. The layout probably would be the same as existing kitchen. But my major problem is a pantry. I don't know what to do with it. Pantry dimensions: Width: 35 1/2 ", Depth: 23", Height: 80 1/2 ". I've tried to put there 30" x 80" high cabinet (see attachment), but in this case I will loose very valuable space. Another idea was to stack two base cabinets with drawers. But I don't know is it possible or no. I mean do IKEA allow it at all. And what to do with the space above these cabinets (about 20"). And my third idea was to use just 36" Rationell deep drawers with front. And use doors for high cabinets as doors for pantry. And again the question is how to get them in correct size?
Please, look at attached pictures. May be you can give me some advise.

Thank you.

Re: Kitchen with pantry (your ideas welcome!)

Do you really have room for something 36" wide? You say you've got 35.5" and the Ikea cabs are actually about 35 and 7/8". (It might be worth taking out one of those walls to get the room, FYI . I doubt they're both (if either) weight bearing.)

Assuming you have the room, you could do a 36" drawer stack with several 36" wide plus two deep cabs meant to go over a refridgerator, one 24" high and one 15" high, for a total of 75" in height with legs under the drawer unit. Each of the fridge cabs can be modified with the doors turned to pullout fronts. The fridge cabs hang on the wall rail and do best with side support, which you'll have available. Each one would absolutely require its own rail, securely attached to studs.

If you can't squeeze out a full 36", 30" plus room for sliding broom closet pullout is not such a terrible situation. You'll find the internal drawers are a huge advantage and you'll get more out of your space than you previously had.

Hope this helps!
