A handmade day pantry is becoming increasingly popular in today’s kitchens and a loving element for all the family to share. It’s a handy spot to keep all of the cooking ingredients in one place and create a multi-functional kitchen that is loved for many years to come. Keep it stocked up with all your cooking ingredients and organise it in a nice and easy way that’s beneficial to all the family.
The pantry is named after the Latin word “panis”, meaning “bread”. The pantry in the late Middle Ages was where bread was kept and food preparation was done. Large houses and estates in Britain throughout the Victorian times maintained separate rooms that were dedicated to food prep. Today the pantry is very much modern, where it’s a cupboard built within the kitchen design that is charming and useful for all the cooking ingredients as well as certain appliances. They are perfect for the kitchen and changes the way a busy family works and lives out of the kitchen.
Below is our Hatfield Broad Oak project where the unique space tells of an individual kitchen that is truly bespoke to our client, with separate pieces of furniture and an inviting colour scheme. To the far side sits a gorgeous day pantry complete with many shelves, drawers and spice racks. Our client has organised this in the best possible way with all the groceries lined up and easy to see and reach. A luxury quartz worktop makes up the cold-shelf and Armac Martin handles finish off the solid wooden drawers to hide away those treats.
This kitchen unit also sits on its own perfectly underneath the triangular window.

This bespoke unit has been made within the other kitchen cabinets to provide the ultimate multi-functioning room and hand-painted in Little Greene Royal Navy Blue.
