More and more, our G & M Craftsman clients are asking us to design and install butler’s pantries for added luxury to their homes. There was a time when some may have dismissed a butler’s pantry as too extravagant and an added expense. But a butler's pantry has almost become a prerequisite when building a new home or completing a kitchen renovation. 

For those wondering how to improve the functionality of their kitchen and add valuable storage space to give their kitchen a high-end element, a butler’s pantry is the solution.

But what is a butler’s pantry? 

A Kitchen Within Your Kitchen

A butler’s pantry, or walk-in pantry's, primary function is to provide added space for storage and preparing meals. A butler's pantry is hidden behind a door or wall but still easily accessible. Ideally, you should feature it close to your food pantry for more convenience when preparing food.

Your kitchen is the center of your home, where you celebrate and create memories with your friends and family, and the butler’s pantry countertop space and cabinetry allow your kitchen to remain clutter-free. You can store kitchen appliances, dinnerware, glassware, groceries and more, leaving your kitchen clear for everyday use or special occasions. 

A butler’s pantry also allows you to keep your party preparation separate from your party guests.  

No need to remove yourself from the festivities to clear the kitchen. Your food prep mess will be safely hidden away so you can enjoy yourself and save the tidying up for later. 

If you enjoy entertaining, even large kitchens can become overcrowded while preparing and serving food, but adding a butler's pantry can be a stylish solution to alleviate party congestion.

What Makes A Butler’s Pantry

Cabinetry. Cabinetry. Cabinetry.

Cabinets and drawers are the primary features of any butler’s pantry. They provide space for you to move around and store things typically displayed in a kitchen. 

Bespoke cabinetry and joinery in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast for your butler’s pantry is always the best approach for creating a space that is functional and looks good. They often feature glass-front cabinet doors for added style and can even include recessed ceiling lights or lighted cabinets.

As luxury cabinet makers G & M design and install custom cabinets and drawers in our client’s butler’s pantry’s to create an area that fits in with the aesthetic of their home.

For kitchen renovations on Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, our clients come to us to utilise every inch of their existing space with the bespoke cabinetry we are known for. 

Additional Functionality For Your Butler’s Pantry

The possibilities are endless with custom cabinets and other features. 

To keep your kitchen appliances out of sight, we can install an appliance garage to streamline your kitchen’s look. The beauty of a customised butler’s pantry is you can tailor your drawers and cabinets to suit your needs. 

Standard cabinet sizing does not apply. 

As custom cabinet makers in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast , we can assess your space and develop a design that works for you and your style, unlike project home designs that are generally one size fits all. 

Wanting your main kitchen only to feature countertops, cabinets and drawers? Depending on the size, we can include space for your dishwasher and microwave in your butler’s pantry.
