This whole house renovation began with several key improvements: to free up traffic flow, better utilize storage space and create more harmony from room to room, but to pull it off required reconfiguring the whole space. We were able to maintain a semi-open floor plan with better flow and distinctive areas by relocating the laundry room, powder room, and pantry to achieve the desired functionality.
What used to be a cramped laundry room off the kitchen, is now a hidden walk-in pantry. We designed the pantry with counter space and outlets to provide a secondary workspace without having to haul small appliances out into the main kitchen. The pantry is hidden by false cabinet fronts to maintain a semi-symmetrical look with the dry goods pantry cabinet next to the refrigerator. Double kitchen islands with two sinks provide separate zones for entertaining, prepping, and clean-up space, without interrupting the new traffic pattern.
