Butler's Pantry

the ultimate luxury item for modern LIVING
A professionally designed and custom-built butler’s pantry is a great solution for those looking for extra space for storage and food preparation, particularly if you like to entertain on a regular basis.

 

Designing your butler’s pantry

Your butler’s pantry should be located conveniently close to the kitchen but also be out of direct sight from your dining and living areas.

Keep things streamlined with a minimal colour scheme.  This will create the illusion of space while minimising clutter.  Adding interest with storage baskets and canisters will give your pantry a homely feel while allowing you to group utensils and pantry items for convenience.

Before you finalize your design, make sure you’ve allowed enough space for everything you need and enough room for you to move about freely.  

Storage

Planning your storage options is critical, and using a mix of cabinets from full height and under counter cupboards to narrow open shelving will allow you to make the most of your available space.   It’s also important to consider what you use most frequently to ensure these items are easily reached.

As with your kitchen cabinets, under-counter drawers are a great way to store a multitude of crockery and cooking utensils, while adding wine storage or a small fridge for drinks is also a great idea for entertaining.

Lighting

An essential consideration for your Butler’s pantry is the use of task and feature lighting.   Ensure you have good above counter lighting for food preparation and including dedicated lighting for larger pantry spaces will make locating specific ingredients a breeze.

 

If you take the time to plan and design your butler’s pantry from the outset, you’ll ensure you get the details right and make the most of the additional storage these versatile spaces provide.

Bathroom & Laundry Cabinets

form and function
Your bathroom and laundry are some of the hardest working spaces in your home, and clever cabinetry can make your morning rush and wash-days a delight.

 

If you’re renovating your kitchen, now might be the ideal time to also re-fresh your bathroom and laundry.   By re-designing these spaces at the same time you’re able to use the same materials and finishes to create a seamless look throughout your home.

Bathroom

Selecting the right cabinetry can make or break a bathroom renovation or make-over.  Ideally you want to strike a balance between an aesthetically pleasing design that creates a sense of luxury and well thought out storage solutions.

For colour, the most popular colour choices are usually whites and neutrals but including some contrasting elements or timber accents creates warmth and texture.

Under vanity floating drawers and shelves are hugely popular right now and are a great way to make a smaller space seem larger by extending the floor space as much as possible, and including some under shelf strip lighting is a cost effective way to add warmth and ambience, giving your bathroom a real luxury finish.

Including a built-in shaving cabinet behind your vanity mirror is a great way to add valuable storage space while minimising clutter on your vanity top.   Including some under shelf strip lighting is also a great way to add ambience and interest to your design.

Laundry

By opting for custom-built cabinets that extend the full height of your laundry, you’ll maximise your storage space.   Using a mix of full height and depth cupboards with narrower overhead cupboards will give you the most functionality, ensuring you still have enough bench space for everyday tasks.

A streamlined design with minimal tapware and fixtures will give your laundry a unified and sleek finish and sticking with an all-white or monochrome colour palette will also create the illusion of space.

As with your kitchen and bathroom, clever planning and design will ensure you make the most of your available floor-space and can turn this utilitarian space into an elegant and appealing area.

By choosing to spend a little extra on custom-built cabinetry in these high traffic areas you’ll be sure to make the most of your storage space and add real value to your property.
