Depends on the size and configuration. My Mom had an upright freezer
in her pantry, and stored the ironing board there as well. I've use
my broom closet (now fitted with shelves) for storing storage
containers, paper and plastic goods, my beans, nuts, and grains
collection (in jars). On the inside of the door, I have shelves for
the spices (and still have too many to fit).

You could dedicate an area to kitchen linens: towels, tablecloths,
napkins, dishcloths, etc.

Isn't it great to have too much storage space? That's what we thought
when we moved into this house. Unfortunately, stuff accumulates to
fill all available space, so maybe you should leave some of it empty,
and it will attract stuff to fill it.
