What, exactly, is a butler's pantry? One formal definition says "A serving and storage area between the dining room and kitchen." Today we'll show you how it can be much more - and can even be located in a few other convenient areas!
For anyone who ever wished for a little more storage space in the kitchen, or a place to keep the good china where it can actually be reached, a butler's pantry is the perfect storage solution.
A Butler's Pantry can generally be found in between the Kitchen and the Formal Dining Room.
Butlers Pantries make great use of small hallways, particularly around staircases.
A Butlers Pantry can also be tucked in an alcove off the dining room itself.
The Butlers Pantry can include decorative shelves or display areas, plate racks, wine racks, stem glass holders, and more.
Crown moulding, decorative hardware, and countertops all add to the appeal of a butler's pantry.
Butlers Pantries can be simple or more complex.
Cabinetry can either match the kitchen, or contrast for more texture and color.
A butler's pantry usually offers some countertop space that matches the countertops found in the kitchen.
Glass doors can be very appealing in a Butlers Pantry.
A butlers pantry can be simple or ornate, depending on the price point of the home.
