As a result, more and more of the kitchen spaces I have been designing include a version of a secondary mini-kitchen of sorts. Pretty much every kitchen designer worth their salt wants to avoid lining up appliances on the countertop, and I am not particularly a fan of rolling tambour doors and “appliance garage” cabinets. ![]() As more and more modern kitchens are designed to be open to the rest of the house, there were inherent challenges that came along for the ride. Originally, the idea grew out of preparing a space that would address the issues associated with the modern open – and extremely public – kitchen. This doesn’t have to be the case anymore and in the last few homes I have designed, we have endeavored to make the pantry a space that not only functioned well but was actually a nice space to work. I would also climb out on a limb and say that the reason your pantry falls into one or the other category doesn’t really have anything to do with either the square footage or the value of your home … it’s because pantry spaces have for years been relegated to leftover space adjacent to the kitchen with barely more thought than is it just a closet with shelves, or a walk-in closet with shelves!! ![]() If you were to stop and think about the pantry in your own home, I bet you would know which category it falls into (my own falls into the “no attention at all” silo). Pantries are one of those spaces that exist within every house that either get a lot of attention or no attention at all.
