I messed up math on first one ugh. Couldn't edit or delete.

Here's overhead shot:

Pantry is 5x4 walk in no door

Are these corner shelves going to be usable? here is inspiration for corners [3rd one from left] and other inspiration pics.

I have the sides at 10" depth so I can have 40" walkaround space.

Left side [A] is more food organization.

Back Middle is more big items and serving dishes cookie sheets baking dishes

Right will be miscellaneous.

Bottom Right will have dog bowls and dog food bin.

Left bottom will have a stool that pulls out.

Ceilings are 9'

What do you plan to store in the pantry? 12-15" deep storage is great for being able to see things. Bulk paper towels can be stored on top of the refrigerator. Leave the shelves up high enough to be able to scoot cases of bottled water underneath the lowest shelf. I'd also make the shelves adjustable and in smaller sections.

May I ask where your small appliances will be located? Might be a nice idea to leave a counter top where you can put them, with shelves for additional storage above. I have corners like those you have pictured. The lowers are usable for storing things I don't use often and the uppers work well for food. The layout looks nice though and I can see you will be able to store a lot of food. If you run your shelves to the ceiling as pictured, will it be practical for you to climb up there for things?

Butler's Pantry is directly behind this pantry with a countertop and appliances.

It is 48". It will have the blender and toaster oven on it plugged in and room to plug in a random appliance from this pantry.

once I am home I will take a photo of my pantry, it has doors, but smaller than yours, as in the last house things got lost, so in this one hubby made the shelves 12inches wide and moveable for height.

@shead

LEFT 10" is food cans baking cereal jars etc.

Back Middle is deeper 15" for instant pot; cookie sheets [vertical]; baskets; paper towels; etc.

Right Side is whatever else i can think of like water bottles [we have lots] extra coffee kcups; etc. aluminum foil; plastic bags; tupperware; etc.

Bottom right will be dog water and food bowls...as it's open they can just go in and out as needed. and their dog food plastic bin.

@Cheryl Hannebauer sounds good! thanks.

my pantry is small, it at an angle in the kitchen, inside measurements are 4.5 x 4.5, the shelf measurements are 13.5 wide (in hope that I can place some of the smaller appliances there, food processor, blender etc. The other side/ shelf is 9.5 inches width. all shelves are on a track so I can change the height of them.
