        "text": "A pantry is not always the best use of a narrow or awkward space; a tall cabinet run, drawer storage, utility closet, or mixed-use zone may provide more accessible capacity. Elite Remodeling & Design can compare these alternatives based on the room’s shape, door location, utilities, and what you need to store. A narrow walk-in can create wasted corners and difficult access if shelves are too deep. Cabinet pull-outs may provide better visibility in a tight footprint, while a broader room may justify a walk-in. Measure the narrowest point and identify obstructions before choosing the pantry type. The goal is usable storage, not simply a separate room labeled pantry.",

Tall cabinets or pull-outs may work better. Elite Remodeling & Design can compare the actual storage gained against the floor area and workflow lost."
