Kitchens: Hidden Treasures

Style and substance combine in this kitchen by Zephyr and Stone that features Polytec thermo-laminated door and drawer fronts in Classic White Matt.

For most of us, having a butler’s pantry is a dream come true. These secret helpers serve as a peak functional space just off the kitchen, yet while they often might be hidden treasures, there is no reason why they can’t make a style statement and be designed to suit your family’s needs perfectly. We’ve searched far and wide to find a collection of stunning butler’s pantries to match every style and personality. Plus, top kitchen designers and experts share their insider tips for recreating these looks in your own home.

THE DESIGN LOVER

“This space has a classic coastal style with relaxed and uncomplicated colours and finishes paired with seamless, contemporary design,” says Ania Forster, creative director of Zephyr and Stone, the firm that designed this butler’s pantry. The colour of the Polytec cabinetry in Natural Oak Ravine is reflected in the flooring, which features Honeywood tiles from Ace Stone + Tiles. “It has the warmth of timber but the practicality and wear of tiles,” says Ania. Above the Quantum Quartz benchtop in Alpine White, the ‘Unios Orbit Plus’ wall light from Lights Lights Lights adds a decorative touch. “It creates a beautiful atmosphere by night,” says Ania. Even better, with the floor-to-ceiling door, any mess or clutter can be quickly hidden if unexpected guests happen to pop by for a visit.
