Best use of this walk-in pantry space
Comments (8)Hi Joy. A few questions: 1) you could have a pocket door into the pantry, unless there are reasons you definitely don't want a door? The beauty of a pocket door is it can be open all the time if you want, but if you do run noisy appliances in there (blender, coffee grinder, Thermomix, etc) you may appreciate being able to contain the noise. 2) slide out shelves under bench-do you mean drawers? Drawers hold more and it's much easier to find and access things. You could have soft close drawers. 3) it looks like the depth of pantry space is 1.4m. Is that correct? If you were to have a sink where would you place it? There doesn't appear to be enough depth to the room to allow for two benches, one to house a sink. So, would you have sink on the outside wall? If you don't think you would use a sink, then don't have one. They take up some space that you may not want to sacrifice. Just speaking from my own experience now: I have a butler's pantry, with a pocket door, with a sink (we use it every day), two benches, lots of drawers, an open pantry to house just about anything (larger appliances, etc), and a narrow open shelving unit that sits on one part of a bench (for drink glasses and spirits). You could easily have a wine cabinet built into part of your pantry shelving unit-maybe high enough off floor so little children cannot reach bottles. I'll attach photos of both sides of my pantry so you can visualise it better. We store our wine in purpose-built unit built into our hallway wall. I'll attach a photo of that in case it gives you some ideas. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes....See MoreWalk-in or Built-in Pantry? 1.1 x 2m too small for a walk-in pantry?
Comments (31)Hi I am really interested in this discussion for similar reasons. Currently our plans squeeze in a pantry under the stairs so 1.5 m X 1 m. Builder suggests we shrink ensuite from 3350 x 1650 to 2350 x1650 long so it becomes a proper walk in pantry 2m x1.5 m. I was concerned I will end up with two nonfunctional spaces. But it sounds like the pantry will work. What are everyone's opinion on a master ensuite size. It means I'll have a single basin vanity only 500 m wide...See MorePantry Shelves in Walk in Pantry
Comments (4)Have a look at getting pullout metal baskets for the lower shelves, then go to shelves from shoulder height up. Shelves should be about 300mm spacing, if you have pullouts make the lower 2 at least 350mm spacing for taller & heavier items....See MorePlease help us redesign the kitchen/walk in pantry/laundry
Comments (22)understanding all your restrictions would help suggest other options but the original staircase uses too much space and if you add scaled sized furniture to the original plans you'll see that the meals area is mostly taken up with walkways to the stairs and back door and there's very little space left for a dining table..the stairs have to fit both the floors of the house and it's not possible to reduce staircase space upstairs without also changing downstairs...See Moreclarecazza
