I have this room adjacent to kitchen, currently it stores food, vacuum, ironing board and junk!!! I would like a walk in pantry, bench space for kitchen appliances, desk. I'm not sure if I should knock out wall and divide room into two or leave it as one bigger space. Does anyone have a room that includes study/ pantry???? Room size is 3270x2600. I've included a possible design, but now I'm not sure whether to have open shelving or doors. Would love to see photos of anyone's butlers pantry etc, any ideas of how to best utilize this space, I have been procrastinating for months!!!

Top cupboards and walk in pantry necessary?
Comments (9)Definately no overheads necessary, this glass section will look amazing, I've doe this in a kitchen, and it looks as though the tops been peeled back. It is amazing to have this size space, and tall cabinets next to the fridge will look fully integrated, my only thought is that while it may not need a walk in pantry, most people want one if it's do-able. To do both, I would offset another wall where your fridge is, by about 1500mm, keeping the fridge at the end, then as if the tall cabinets were there anyway, apply cabinet doors (panels to the wall with one of them actually concealing the entrance to a walk in, with full height open shelves. Tis way it's ample pantry storage, but also can accommodate a multitude of appliances and kitchenalia. When the pantry doors closed it will look like the design you currently have, with a nice surprise behind the wall. Best of both worlds. Taking the 1500mm off the width of this room will actually square up the rooms proportions anyway. So I'd do this....See MoreIs a small walk in pantry annoying?
Comments (13)Louise, I love the door idea on that appliance cupboard pic you shared - that has been a dilemma too so thank you. How wide do you reckon that appliance cabinet is? I'm looking at the second freezer position in my plan - I put it there cuz I reckon it's the siberia end of the kitchen and it will be a pain if the main fridge is all the way up there.... Plus it doesn't take up precious room in a walk in pantry (need room for door to open too). At the moment the back wall is symmetrical hence why the appliance cupboard is a strange 832 wide! Good news is I've minimised (even further!) what's going to be in the laundry (that will be like a cupboard now, but hey a compromise to get a decent pantry) as walk in pantry is much higher priority, so I think I have lots of room for a decent pantry - will post pic once I've drawn it :-)...See MoreDark joinery doors with wall colour walk in pantry
Comments (4)Thanks for you opinion, Judy! I will ask colour selection consultant whether I can get the same colour of WIP door as joinery doors once I hear from the builder. It has been hard to reach them lately lol...See MoreStudy or walk in robe?
Comments (23)why can't you have both? flexible living is much better for resale and a small study or nursery with access to the master through the ensuite or a generous walk in dressing room furnished with dismantle-able DIY wire shelves and hanging storage Keep the hall door to the study locked (add a towel bolt on the inside) and disguised from outside with a gorgeous big wall hanging, curtain or painting, good luck...See Moremelly113

8 years agoI have a butlers pantry
The fridge is on left wall.the right wall is full of crockery shelving
The other 2 walls are bench with shelving
I'm afraid I don't like standing in here preparing food
It's taking me away from everyone
This is why we have open plan!
I can't imagine desk in here
It's 2.5 x 2.8
But it's great for storage
Trouble is ....
Should the fridge be In there?
And altho I love all the crockery in there,find my husband trying to get into fridge,and me trying empty dishwasher hopeless as it only has single (pocket) door
I would def do again
But it needs more planning

8 years agoI have been planing my new butler's pantry for a while and here are some of my favourites.
My space is 2.8m x 1.5m (L-shaped). I am having 450mm wide bench with open shelving top and bottom on the long side (maybe one row of open drawers like in first photo), 650mm wide bench at the end with sink and cupboard below. I also have a small alcove on the left which will be used as a broom closet (easy access for spills).
In your case I would run the bench and overhead cupboards from the window, along the right hand wall and back around to the door. You could then have a study desk under the window with the natural light. You may also have room to put a fold down ironing board cupboard all alternatively put in a pull out ironing board in the bench that returns near the door.
Good luck!

8 years agoWe turned a room off the kitchen into a pantry storage room. We were going to custom build melamine storage but it turned out cheaper and easier to get these units from Bunnings. They slot together, have adjustable shelving and each shelf can hold 250 kg. We plan to put a shelf across the room under the window. We put so much stuff in this room!
