Build your own modular larder

Larder cupboard buyer’s guide

A larder cupboard is a brilliant way to boost kitchen storage. One of these freestanding designs can be added to any kitchen or kitchen-diner and will provide a place to store dry ingredients, small appliances like mixers and blenders, utensils, cookware, recipe books, table linens and more. It could allow you to expand kitchen storage without the cost and hassle of a major refit, and with a choice of finishes on offer, a larder cupboard can complement your existing kitchen cabinets. Our larder cupboards are modular allowing you to size your design to your room and what you need to store, and you can specify the elements that make up your piece of furniture, creating storage that’s individualised rather than off the peg. Choose our larder cupboard and you’ll free up existing kitchen units for all the other essentials you need to keep in your kitchen, meaning you can organise your room better, too, gathering together what you store in logical groupings rather than hunting for it across the room.

Improve a small kitchen with a narrow larder cupboard

If your kitchen’s not generously sized, a narrow larder cupboard can be a clever way to add the storage you’re lacking. Our narrow larder cupboard can be designed using base units and middle units to create valuable additional stash space from a dead wall area to a height of 186cm while only taking up a width of 50cm at floor level, leaving room to prepare and cook in the kitchen. Alternatively, you can go up even higher with your design selecting base units, middle units and then top cupboards for your narrow larder cupboard, which will reach height 231cm. This way, you can keep the tins and trays you only use occasionally to hand without piling them up with the cookware you use more frequently so everything’s easy to access. Our narrow larder cupboards can be made for you with either left or right opening doors so you can be sure yours will be the perfect piece for even a small kitchen. 


Large or slim larder cupboard?

It’s really simple to design your own larder cupboard using our modular system. Yours can be anything from a slim larder cupboard of width 50cm to a sizeable design with a width of 277cm with plenty of options in between the two sizes. To create your specification, the modular units are placed side by side in the recess of the plinth, making our larder cupboard a really flexible choice. You can make use of our online planner to create a larder cupboard that’s anything from slim to large, but you can also get in touch with us if you need help or advice on getting the perfect piece of furniture for you. The larder widths on offer as the basis of your design are: single W:50cm; double: W:95cm; triple: W:141cm; 4-way W:186cm; 5-way W:232cm; and 6-way W:277cm. Base units can be single or double and may have base cupboards or drawer units to create the best sort of storage for what you want to put into the larder cupboard. You can then add single or double top cupboards to your design if you want them.

Finishing details for your larder cupboard

Once you’ve created a larder cupboard of the width and height that’s right for both what you need to keep in it and your kitchen, you can choose from our range of elegant paint colours for the finish. Want to match your larder cupboard to the colour of your existing painted kitchen cabinets? Just order it unpainted and you can use a paint colour to match it exactly to the units by finishing your piece of furniture yourself at home. You can also pick from our brilliant range of handles and knobs for both doors and any drawers in your larder cupboard. We offer designs with contemporary, classic or retro style so you can complement your kitchen or kitchen-diner’s style. Handles and knobs come in materials including wood, with painted finishes, and in a variety of different metal tones which means you can match them with kitchen taps, appliance finishes or pendant lights if you like for a pulled-together room design.
