Get my itemized quoteDo pantry shelves need to match in depth?
Not at all. Spices and cans suit shallow shelves, while small appliances need more room. The width of the space and the groceries you keep decide the mix.
Can a slim pantry have shelves on both walls?
That depends on width and how you use it. Subtract both shelf depths and any door swing from the room width to see whether a comfortable aisle is left.

Town ’n’ Country cabinet planning
Set shelf depth from the groceries you buy
Uniform deep shelves can maximize volume while making food harder to find. Mixed depths can improve the useful visibility of the contents. See the planning FAQ for questions about the ordering process.
Keep the pantry aisle usable
Opposing shelves and cabinet fronts reduce the walking space between them. Review the aisle with doors and pull-outs in use before deciding how much storage each side should carry.
Compare the alternatives
Deeper storage on both sides may crowd a narrow room. A shallower wall can preserve access without abandoning useful shelving. Use the concept gallery to describe a visual preference.
Put the decision in the quote
Show shelf depths and intended food groups in the layout rather than quoting an undifferentiated set of shelves. Add this priority to your design request for Town ’n’ Country.
