The bespoke walk-in pantry is becoming a desired feature in many large homes as it frees up space in the main kitchen. A pantry can be customised to your needs, whether you want a space to house your appliances, store dry and fresh ingredients, or organise accessories that can often clutter a kitchen.
Traditionally located downstairs in English country houses, the pantry was used to store cooking essentials, silverware and valuable ingredients. Historically, it also provided a separate area for meal preparation away from the view of guests. A modern pantry offers similar benefits, especially for those who frequently entertain or require extra room for preparing meals or using appliances.
Today, the walk-in pantry is positioned near the main kitchen work areas. Ideally it should feel like a natural extension of the kitchen with a mix of shelving, drawers and worktops.
Here is a beautiful example of a bespoke walk-in pantry crafted by Claude Clémaron for a family residence in West Sussex. It combines the highest quality traditional construction with charming colour and detail to create an attractive, welcoming space. A wide variety of made to measure cabinets have been built-in throughout. Customised storage is the key to a well-organised pantry, bringing calm and order to a busy household. A mix of cupboards, adjustable shelves and drawers of varying depths can be used to store pots, pans, ingredients, cookbooks and more.
Like utility rooms and boot rooms which have also become more popular in recent years, it’s not only the practicality and organisation that the pantry provides, but also the opportunity to explore different finishes and furnishings. For instance, the pantry provides a closed off area where you can add colour and additions such as curtains to create a wonderful, homely atmosphere.
Bespoke pantry cabinet surfaces
Here the made to measure work surfaces have been crafted in pink marble. The natural stone perfectly complements the green painted cabinetry and bring a unique beauty to the scheme, as well as being tough and practical. At Claude Clémaron we work with a variety of materials including granite, quartz, solid wood, copper, stainless steel and glass for pantry countertops and shelving.
Glazed doors are excellent for showing off beautiful glassware and crockery in the pantry display cabinet.
