Whether you call it a butler\u2019s pantry or just a pantry, designing the perfect pantry means thinking about how you use your kitchen and what you want to get out of a separate space. Get it right and you won\u2019t ever want to sell your home.<\/p>\n
Do you want secondary amenities<\/strong> If you have the space to play with in your renovations or home build, consider whether your pantry can include additional amenities, such as a dishwasher, sink, or even cooking utilities that essentially constitute a second kitchen.<\/p>\n This is a great option for those who relish entertaining and entertaining on scale, as it allows you to both present a streamlined vision of an entertaining space in so far as your main kitchen is concerned, and also allows you to produce more and clean up more quickly.<\/p>\n Conceal cupboards if you lack the\u00a0<\/strong>space<\/strong> You can conceal open shelving to create a pantry within your kitchen, doing so can enhance the geometry of your kitchen by creating unbroken lines and greater use of white space or to accentuate the design of your kitchen.<\/p>\n Get your shelving sorted<\/strong> Pantry shelving needs to sustain considerable weight, as it is inevitably the place where you store the less used and often heavy appliances or pantry items in your kitchen.<\/p>\n Choose construction materials that are going to withstand the weight and also those that are easily maintainable (resist staining) and are visually appealing with your overall kitchen design.<\/p>\n
\nA butler\u2019s pantry is sometimes differentiated from a simple pantry as it implies a greater amount of space or walk-in room, and so greater freedom to include more amenities in the space.<\/p>\n
\nA pantry does not have to be a walk-in robe in the kitchen, very few houses can accommodate this sort of luxury, and you may not even want or need a second room to house your appliances and pantry items if you live a more minimal lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\nBoth the material you use and the dimensions are important when planning your pantry shelving.<\/p>\n
