"According to Melissa Schneider, co-founder and lead designer at Homes Innovation, installing glass-front pantry doors is an upgrade that just isn't worth it. "Nothing lights up a designer like the chance to get playful with a project like custom pantry doors," she says about designing a custom walk-in pantry. However, glass-front doors put everything on display - the good and the bad."
"If you still want to use glass pantry doors, Schneider recommends avoiding clear glass. Instead, choose frosted glass, etched glass, or textured glass that will better obscure mess and clutter. For a more unique look, you can even choose stained glass or use a colored glass film. If you moved into a house that already has glass-front kitchen cabinets or pantry doors, you can buy inexpensive film like this rabbitgoo stained glass window film on Amazon."
Pantry renovations can improve storage, reduce food waste, and add home value. Glass-front pantry doors often display both organized items and everyday messes, undermining kitchen aesthetics and offering limited return on investment. Messy containers, clutter, and crumbs can be visible even with organizers, so clear glass is ill-advised. Frosted, etched, or textured glass provides privacy while maintaining style. Stained glass or colored glass film offers unique looks without exposing chaos. In houses with existing glass-front cabinets or doors, inexpensive stained-glass window film (for example, rabbitgoo) can obscure contents and preserve visual appeal.
