Why Plykea Pantries Are the Ultimate in Kitchen Storage
When it comes to kitchen storage, tall units are essential — but many systems, including IKEA’s tall larder units, miss a key configuration: a wide pantry to elevate the space and give that custom-built look. Plykea pantries bridge this gap, offering a blend of style, function, and flexibility.
What Makes Plykea Pantries Special
High-End Look at a Smart Cost
With widths ranging from 600 mm to 1200 mm, Plykea pantries are designed to sit on top of IKEA base units, giving you a seamless integration of premium plywood cabinetry and the functionality of IKEA.
The 1000 mm and 1200 mm units span multiple IKEA base units, delivering a seamless, bespoke appearance without the custom-made cabinet price tag.
Customisable Finish
Match to the laminate or wood veneer plywood of your kitchen, creating a seamless and cohesive look, or choose a contrasting finish.
Flexible Usage
Add a laminate top to the base, and the pantry doubles as a convenient coffee or appliance station. Everything can be tucked away neatly when not in use.
Drawers or Doors: Your Choice
Plykea pantries let you choose between IKEA drawers or units with doors for the lower section. This flexibility means you can customise your pantry to either:
- Keep kitchen essentials neatly concealed behind doors
- Have drawers and hidden internal drawers for everyday essentials like baking trays, snacks, or small appliances — keeping everything organised and within reach.
How to Specify Your Plykea Pantry
- Choose Your Width: 600 mm, 800 mm, 1000 mm, or 1200 mm.
- Select the IKEA Base Units:
600 mm → 1 × 600 mm IKEA base unit
1000 mm → 1 × 600 mm + 1 × 400 mm
1200 mm → 2 × 600 mm
- Select Door and Drawer Fronts: Match or contrast your kitchen.
- Optional Laminate Base: Ideal for a coffee or appliance station, keeping worktops clutter-free.
- Optional Integrated Lighting: LED strips can be recessed into the top shelf. Now that's a bright idea!
Why You Need a Plykea Pantry
Imagine your morning routine: open the pantry doors, grab a coffee mug, pull a drawer for pods or filters, then close it up — a clean and organised space every time. Meanwhile your main kitchen run stays clean and minimal — no cluttered countertop.
Alternatively, you can store large appliances and bulky items in the base and keep the upper shelves for dry goods — all within one cohesive unit.
If you’re designing or upgrading a kitchen and want a tall storage solution that delivers both form and function, our Plykea pantry is the one. It bridges the gap between standard tall units and bespoke cabinetry: a high‑end look with premium plywood and without the premium price tag.
