Butler's pantry
Once considered a luxury only found in elaborate homes, the butler's pantry is now an affordable and practical part of new builds. This mini kitchen beside your main kitchen frees the countertops from clutter, with ample tiered shelving and cupboards plus extra bench space for appliances like the kettle, toaster, microwave and coffee machine.
Walk-in pantry
Walk-in pantries range from small closet-sized spaces to hallway extensions with a wall of shelves, and can be integrated into any home in modern, stylish ways. They give ample, easily accessible storage. Modern spins use invisible LED strips beneath floating shelves and hanging pendant lights to elevate the look.
Hidden pantry
A hidden pantry is a walk-in pantry with the entrance disguised, keeping the main kitchen seamless and visually consistent. The key is overlay cabinet panels, with careful attention to invisible hinges, door width and location among the surrounding cabinetry. It is easiest to factor in for new builds as an integral part of the floor plan.
Mini appliance cupboards and pull-out pantries
For smaller homes, appliance cupboards are beautifully designed built-in pantries hidden within the kitchen cabinetry, freeing countertop space by tucking away the kettle, toaster and coffee machine. Pull-out pantries use floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that opens with a sliding motion, packing in tiered shelving and even smart features like power outlets in a compact, handleless design.
