Galaxy Pistachio Green Single Door Pantry Cabinets

Find your gap in the left-hand column. The rest of the row says which box usually suits it and what to check before ordering.

The most common home for this box is next to the fridge, where a full-depth tower lines up with the appliance and turns a fridge standing in a gap into a built-in wall. The 24″-deep versions are the ones for this job, because a 12″ box beside a fridge leaves the appliance’s side exposed and the tops at two different depths.

Two things are easy to overlook here. First, a refrigerator door has to swing past ninety degrees for the crisper drawers to come out on many models, and a tall cabinet hard against the hinge side stops it. Leave a filler between the two: a 3″ tall filler, GPG TF396, is $84.50 and a 6″, GPG TF696, is $152.75, both on the filler page, and the fridge maker’s installation sheet says how much clearance the door needs. Second, hinge the pantry door so it opens away from the fridge. Then both doors open toward the same aisle and nobody stands between them.

Price the height to the fridge wall you are building. The 15″ × 24″ tower runs from $897.00 at 84″ (GPG TP152484) to $981.50 at 96″ (GPG TP152496); the 18″ × 24″ from $1,053.00 (GPG TP182484) to $1,150.50 (GPG TP182496). Whichever height the fridge surround and any oven tower use, match it here so every top on that wall aligns.

A kitchen needs somewhere for the vacuum, the mop and the ironing board, and a single-door tower is the tidiest answer when there is no utility room. The 18″ × 24″ box is the one that usually works, because upright vacuums and mop buckets are wider than a 15″ opening allows once the face frame is subtracted.

The box ships with adjustable ¾″ shelves on clips, which can be lifted out or moved to the top so the lower part becomes one tall open space. The listing does not publish how many shelves come with each height or the inside dimensions, so confirm both before counting on a particular layout, and stand your tallest broom against a tape measure first. For hooks and clips, fix into the cabinet sides rather than the door: the door is a five-piece shaker with a thin ⅜″ centre panel, which is not something to screw a mop holder into.

Half of the sixteen listings are 12″ deep, which makes them a different kind of cabinet: one row of jars, tins and bottles, every item visible, and a box that can stand in places a full-depth tower never could — a hallway wall outside the kitchen, the back of a peninsula, the end wall beside a doorway, a mudroom. Prices for the shallow versions:

Two cautions. A shallow tower is tall and light, so it must be fixed to the wall through its back into studs, which matters more for a stand-alone box in a hallway than for one in a run. And its side is usually exposed; the matching end skin for the shallow box is GPG SK T12D at $126.75 (the full-depth version, GPG SK TALL, is $169.00), sold with the decorative accessories.

A pair of identical towers either side of a range, a window, a window seat or a wide opening is one of the oldest ideas in cabinetry, and it still works. Symmetry does the design work, and each tower stays narrow enough that the room does not feel walled in.

It is also worth knowing how the pair prices against the obvious alternative, one wide two-door tower. At 96″ and full depth, two 15″ towers (2 × GPG TP152496) come to $1,963.00, against $1,807.00 for a single 30″ two-door (GPG TP302496) — so the pair costs more. Two 18″ towers (2 × GPG TP182496) come to $2,301.00, against $2,343.25 for a single 36″ two-door (GPG TP362496) — so there the pair is actually cheaper. If the plan could go either way at 36″, the two narrow towers are not a premium choice. The double door pantry page has the wide boxes.

The shelves a narrow tower ships with are the same whatever you put on them, so the contents are where the jobs really differ. A few patterns hold up across most kitchens.

In an all-green kitchen this question does not arise. In a two-tone one — green lowers under light uppers, which is one of the most common ways to use this sage — a tall cabinet runs through both zones, from the floor past the counter line to the top of the uppers, and it has to be one colour or the other.

There is no single rule, but there is a reliable way to decide. A tower that stands at the end of the green lower run, and is read with it, usually looks right in green: it becomes a green column that finishes the run. A tower that stands in a wall of its own, with the fridge or an oven, usually looks right in the upper colour, because a full-height block of a mid-value green is a strong statement and a wall of it can dominate a small room. Either way, draw it both ways before ordering. Switching it costs nothing: this box is priced identically across Galaxy’s standard paints — Frost, Linen, Dove and the others — with only the two oak stains, Desert Oak and Natural Oak, running higher. Look at a door sample beside your chosen upper finish under the bulbs you actually use, and read the green cabinet guide on how much green a room can carry.

If the gap is 24″ or wider, the double door pantry covers 24″, 30″ and 36″. A tower built around a wall oven is on the oven cabinet page, with the double oven and combo oven versions beside it; every tall box is on the tall cabinets page, and the rest of this green is in the collection. Each tower arrives built — doors hung on Blum soft-close hinges, a ½″ veneered plywood box behind a solid wood face frame — and leaves us within seven days to three weeks.
