Incontemporary kitchens, the pantry can be a stunning design feature – the opposite of Victorian-era
pantries that were very much ‘below stairs’. This unit by Jamie Blake of Blakes London is clad on three
sides in heavily veined paonazzo marble, with its golden hues picked up in the sleek brass fittings,
while smoked glass doors and open shelves give added luxury. Above the traditional enclosed storage
cabinets, this luxurious space showcases fine malt whiskies and beautiful glassware and includes a
coffee station with a plumbed-in espresso machine. Bear in mind that while this style of pantry creates
a strong visual impact, it requires careful curating of objects and meticulous attention to tidying.→
