Maple Pantry Cabinet

Maple is a classic choice when it comes to kitchen cabinets in modern rustic and contemporary spaces because of its understated beauty. This wood has an even grain that’s not only naturally elegant but also extremely versatile. You can choose whether you want your maple cabinets to be stained, painted, or left natural.

Oak cabinets, on the other hand, are best for kitchens with traditional and farmhouse designs because of their earthy look. They have a timeless appeal that blends well with a variety of kitchen decors and color palettes.

In terms of durability, both maple and oak wood are hard-wearing and can stand up to the rigors of cooking. However, maple cabinets can easily get stained and turn blotchy while oak cabinets are known for being streaky when stained.

Any food item that doesn't need to be refrigerated immediately should be stored in your pantry. Canned foods are usually stored in a pantry as they do not need to be refrigerated unless opened. The same goes for dry food, unripened fruit and veggies as well as sealed jars and cartons.

It is, however, an absolute no-no to store meat, ripe fruits and vegetables as well as opened cans and jars in a pantry.
