Walk-in pantry design

5 months ago

Walk-in pantry advice please. This is our design for our pantry. Walls & door placement can’t change at this stage. Dimensions are 2260x1410mm. Door opens clear of room. The depth of bottom units on facing wall is 60cm - dictated by integrated wine cooler. The depth of units on short wall is 40cm. All the above counter shelves are 30cm deep.

My concern is the standing area (shaded in yellow). This is 1m across by 80cm to wall. Is this too small / tight? I can see 3 alternatives:

loose the wine cooler& drinks cabinet
go with shallow wine cooler. This won’t be integrated then
swap the wine cooler & drinks cabinet to short wall.
Problem is I don’t really want to do any of the above.

I also don’t think the bottom corner unit is a great idea. Thinking of asking them to leave this open and possibly include a 2 shelfs &/or turnstile. Open to suggestions here too.

I’ve mapped this out in my current house (2nd pic) but it’s hard to tell.

Thanks in advance for any advic

About your plumber saying "plumb layout is confirmed". That is a load of rubbish. It's fairly easy to move drains around (yes he might have to rip up some walls, but he can also do off-the-wall installations to avoid that). In a small bath proper placement is of the utmost importance!!! If you have the bathtub and shower next to each other that will be much better and then the glass separator idea should work. padmaramachandran's (see post above) setup sounds more reasonable to me as well (see first picture below). This is similar to your setup but as you have more space you could put in bath tub and shower where the picture only shows a bath tub. Also if you do it that way you could theoretically have a bidet or a wider wash basin (small double perhaps too). Example layout: Do you need a bathtub in the guest bath? If not you have a lot more room to work with. E.g. for a double wash basin and large walking shower and a bidet (2nd picture). Example of off-the-wall installation for toilet and bidet and a large walking shower. Finally if you ignore this advice and do it the way you planned ;) then I suggest you really thing about that glass separator. Doing it right will make a lot of difference (see 3rd picture). Good luck!

I would definitely go for a larger kitchen therefore a swap. Also if structure allows to remove this little bit of unnecessary wall by current kitchen entrance would make the space more open.( I think in the other plan I see it is happening?) the outside door swap for a window is a very good idea in my mind.

Hi Michele, self build is very exciting and we wish you luck for your upcoming project. We have various tips when it comes to our customers designing their home. As some have suggested above understanding how you and your family occupy the space is fundamental in making those early design decisions. We also tell self builders to put 'wants and needs' into 3 columns, must have, nice to have and luxury. This helps define budget and start with the fundamentals before progressing to those items such as cinema rooms or a top end kitchen worktop. There are many helpful tips on our Self Build Academy website also plenty of design and interior inspiration at Potton Self Build Galleries Before you decide that building your home is right for you, ask yourself four questions; Do you have the time and commitment to see your project through to the end. Do you have the skills and knowledge required for the task ahead Do you understand the cost involved and do you have enough money to complete the build Do you have a constitution strong enough to see you through both the highs and lows of building your own home Provided you understand your answers to these questions and can ‘fill the gaps’ when it comes to skills, knowledge, time and funding, then press ahead and enjoy what is probably going to be one of the most rewarding experiences that you will ever have in your lifetime!
