Butler Pantry Cabinet Hardware

last year
Hi, wondering should I leave these top 3 cabinets without hardware or just add the same hardware thats below them or something else? First picture is what you see when you come in from the front door. Second picture is view from living space. (Their crown molding will be added at later date) Any thoughts? Thank you!

last yearSame hardware would be ideal. Try knobs for upper cabinets for a change. Knobs looks more delicate, not so typical.

cabinets to 9 ft ceiling? and faux butlers pantry idea?
Comments (4)Your image is a bit hard to understand. Does the fridge open up into a bottleneck/walkway? I agree with above... You might as well bring cabinets to the ceiling if it's your only way to maximize storage space in that area and you can afford it. We have 9' ceilings and cabinets all the way up... In my top cabinets, I keep: rarely used glasses, holiday themed kitchen items, serving platters for parties, extra paper cups and similar. Will you have a pantry area or not? Where will food go? It might be useful for you to sketch out where you will keep things...... That will give you an idea of how much additional space you need. The hutch/butlers pantry in adjoining area sounds nice... to increase storage, show off your china and it will likely look nice. There are lots of kitchens on here with similar if you search....See MoreConverting dining room to walk-in pantry & butler's pantry
Comments (50)I am just now reading all these amazing comments. We were going to sell our 5 bedroom house and build a “smaller” 2B2B barndominium, but plans changed due to my dad getting sick and not wanting us to move away from me. So we have decided to renovate what we have and incorporate the things I wanted into this house but I have no clue where to start. This house had NO storage. We have extra rooms I want to make one a butlers pantry that connects to my kitchen and the other I want to make a master closet. Any ideas would be appreciated...See MoreWorth having sink in butler’s pantry??
Comments (33)Below is an illustration of an exercise I sometimes go through on a project to point out the efficiency of the layout, how much of the house is dedicated to circulation space and how much room there is for furniture. Circulation space is unavoidable but the less there is the more efficient the layout is.This just addresses efficiency. Other design flaws I see are how insect screens are handled at the double doors in the dining and guest bedroom? Why are there doors there and not windows? Where will a guest entering from the front have their coat hung? If the door from the guest bath to the family room survives, where will the light switch go? Why such a big work triangle in the kitchen? Work triangles work best when they are a triangle. And the list is longer but I have to get back to work....See MoreWalk In Pantry & Butlers Pantry
Comments (30)This is just bad. Starting with having to walk through the work area of the kitchen to get to two of the bedrooms. From there it goes downhill. Sorry to be so blunt. Here's my list that hopefully helps you rethink what you have: The best houses orient the public rooms towards the south for the best passive solar heating and cooling The best houses are L, U, T, H, or I shaped. The best houses are only one to two rooms deep. And covered lanai, porches, garages, etc count as rooms in this case. The best houses make sure kitchens have natural light, meaning windows so one doesn't have to have lighting 24/7 to use the kitchen. (And no, dining areas with windows 10' or more from the kitchen will not allow for natural light.) The best houses make sure all public rooms and bedrooms have windows on at least two walls. The best houses do not if possible put mechanical rooms, pantries or closets on outside walls The best houses keep public and private spaces separate. The best houses do not have you walk through the work zone of the kitchen to bring laundry to the laundry room. The best houses do not have the mudroom go through any of the work zones of the kitchen. The best houses do not use the kitchen as a hallway to any other rooms. The best houses do not put toilets or toilet rooms up against bedroom walls or dining areas. The best houses do not have walk in closets too small to stand inside. The best houses have an organizing “spine” so it’s easy to determine how to get from room to room in the house and what makes sense. So how many of these best practices does your house have?...See More

last year@everdebz, Thanks so much for all the ideas!! I would like it to have a little bit of something so it doesn't look blah.. I will be switching all the kitchen and lower cabinet hardware to gun metal since it will match my kitchen better than black (we didn't like gold). I played with printing out 2 knob sizes that are gun metal and taping them, not sure it does anything if I do a knob or handle.
