Redefining the Butler’s Pantry

In the past, butler’s pantries were the transition rooms between the homeowner’s quarters and the areas where the servants would be, like the kitchen.  These areas of the house have been considered grand and upscale, and are commonly found in historic mansions.  Today, the butler’s pantry redefines itself in the modern era and can be designed with the specific needs of the homeowner.

Having a butler’s pantry can create an intimate feel in the spacious floor plans we have today.  Keep it a functional place for food, extra storage or even a cleanup area with a dishwasher.  If you love wine, design the room with a wet bar complete with an under-counter wine and beverage refrigerator.  I have even had customers utilize the space as a mudroom between the backyard and kitchen.

Homeowners who live in older houses with butler’s pantries tend to use them as inspiration when remodeling the main kitchen. They want to make the new modern kitchen fit well with the original parts of the home by matching the original cabinetry, glass doors and countertops.

Even in small spaces, a butler’s pantry is a great option.  Whether you have a small room or a corner,  set it apart from the main space.  If you’re an art lover, create an extra display cabinet.  If you’re a gourmet chef, design a staging area or buffet for all of your prepared dishes.  There are so many ways to make a butler’s pantry work for you!
