Butler's Pantry with Blue Cabinetry

As kitchens become more open, walk-in pantries must hide more than cereal boxes. If you have the space, devote some of your kitchen layout to a full-service Butler’s Pantry. This high-functioning space stores everything from table linens to serving platters and is where you will stage the appetizers and gather the dishes before and after this year’s holiday party. As beautiful and well-planned as the adjacent kitchen, this may become your favorite room in the house.
