Hidden walk-in pantries have become quite common in kitchen renovations.
More recently though, cutting-edge designers have taken to opening up these extension zones, utilising clever placement to maintain their hide-away status while eschewing doors to improve productivity and flow.
Such is the ingenuity incorporated by designer Noemi Szilagyi-Nagy in this highly functional area by Let’s Talk Kitchens. A stylish scullery — tucked behind, and to the side of, the new galley — occupies the footprint of the home’s former kitchen space, serving as an easy-access annex, yet still providing a discreet area for everyday storage and entertainment preparation.
Concealing a handy tea and coffee nook and appliance station, the scullery comprises sleek melamine joinery and a durable Polytec benchtop in Natural Oak. Matching Linus mixer taps, in anthracite, matt black Schock sinks, and splashbacks comprised of Hampton’s Jade gloss textured subway tiles, visually link it to the main modern kitchen area. Here though, eye-catching cabinetry is comprised of two-pack polyurethane in Dulux White Dune half, topped by sintered stone Dekton counters in Ventus, with a shadowline of Polytec in Natural Oak.
The warm timber-look detailing is repeated at the island ends in Polytec Natural Oak Ravine and open shelving, while black accents, in the form of domed pendants, leather bar stools and a Mitsubishi refrigerator, punctuate the scheme.
A concealed seating niche on the inside of the island, fitted with USB ports and charging sockets, provides a mini workstation, further enhancing the functionality of this inviting, easy living layout.
