An office pantry is a small kitchen that everyone shares and nobody owns. In a Malaysian shoplot or small office it usually has to fit where the water point and drain already are, keep cooking smells away from the desks, and give staff somewhere decent to eat lunch. The look matters too: the pantry is one of the few rooms every person uses every day. These 12 concept designs show small pantries, coffee corners and lunch and breakout areas in modern, warm, industrial and colourful styles. Use the filters below to narrow them by style or by small pantry or lunch area.

How to plan an office pantry

Start with the water. A pantry sink needs a cold water supply, a waste pipe with a fall to the drain and sometimes hot water, so the pantry usually goes where those points already are or can reach easily. Then decide what the pantry is for: a coffee corner for a small team, or a lunch room that seats many people at once.

  • Water and drain first. Place the sink on the wall nearest the riser or the existing wet area.
  • Power for every appliance. Fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee machine and dispenser each want their own socket.
  • Smells and noise. A door, an exhaust fan or simply distance keeps lunch smells and chatter away from the desks.
  • Seating. Decide how many people eat at the same time and give them a table, a counter or a booth.
  • Commercial-grade finishes. Pantry doors and drawers are used far more than at home, so pick tough laminate, a sound carcass and strong hinges.

ClickBina's office pantry cost guide covers cabinet grades, hardware and the sink in detail, and the small office design gallery shows where the pantry sits in a whole office layout.

An office pantry connects to several other jobs. The shop office plumbing guide explains water points and drains in a shoplot, the power point guide covers new sockets, and the exhaust fan guide covers taking smells out.

For the room around it, see the office ceiling guide and the acoustic panel guide; for a whole floor, the office fit-out cost guide sets the pantry inside the full budget.

Building rules and practical limits

  • Wet works need approval. In an office building, a new waste pipe, a floor penetration or waterproofing usually needs the building's written approval before work starts.
  • Upper floors. A pantry above someone else's unit needs waterproofing and a flood test before tiling.
  • Cooking. Many buildings allow reheating and drinks only; heavy cooking needs proper extraction.
  • Electrical load. Kettles, microwaves and coffee machines together draw a lot of power; check the circuit before adding appliances.
  • End of lease. Check whether the pantry must be removed when you hand the space back.

What an office pantry costs

ClickBina's office pantry guide puts an 8–15 ft pantry run in commercial-grade laminate with a sink cut-out at roughly RM4,000 – RM15,000, excluding appliances, or about RM280 – RM420 per foot run of cabinetry before the worktop; a moisture-resistant plywood carcass adds RM30 – RM60 per foot run (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026).

For the worktop, the compact laminate guide lists ordinary laminate tops at RM60 – RM150 per foot run and the solid surface guide puts solid surface at RM150 – RM350 per foot run. A new socket on surface trunking is RM120 – RM250, and a wall or ceiling exhaust fan is RM150 – RM400 installed where power is already there. Seating, booths and doors are quoted per job.

Common Questions

Where should the pantry go in a small office?
As close as possible to an existing water point and drain, usually beside the toilet or on the wall with the riser. Moving water and drains far across an office is what makes a pantry expensive.
How do I stop pantry smells reaching the desks?
Use distance, a door or both, and add an exhaust fan. A frosted sliding door keeps the pantry closed off while still letting light through.
What worktop suits an office pantry?
Solid surface and compact laminate both handle constant wiping. ClickBina's guides put ordinary laminate tops at RM60 – RM150 per foot run and solid surface at RM150 – RM350 per foot run (indicative Klang Valley, 2026).
How big should an office pantry be?
Size it to the people, not the floor plan. Count how many staff use it at the busiest time and give them enough sinks, seats and bins for that moment.
How much does an office pantry cost?
ClickBina's office pantry guide puts an 8–15 ft run in commercial-grade laminate with a sink cut-out at roughly RM4,000 – RM15,000, excluding appliances (indicative Klang Valley, 2026).
Do I need building approval for a pantry?
In most office buildings, yes, for wet works such as a new waste pipe or waterproofing. Ask the building management for its fit-out rules before work starts.
Are the designs on this page real ClickBina projects?
No. They are illustrative concept designs that show office pantry options. Your office is assessed and quoted to its own layout, water points and building rules.
