15th April 2022 | IN KBB DESIGN | BY SBID ShareTweetPinterestLinkedIn In response to the changing pressures on kitchen-living environments to keep them tidier and more organised, The Myers Touch Design Studio are increasingly designing kitchen pantries and larders in a range of custom solutions, so homeowners can hideaway dry foods and small appliances whilst keeping them accessible to the main kitchen space. Large Walk-In Pantry “A truly great kitchen will include great storage for all your family food preparation, cooking and entertaining requirements. We love the re-emergence of the pantry; that tucked away place to arrange and carefully store food, from flour and potatoes to hams and jams. Away from the harm of underfloor heating and tempted pets, these well-ventilated rooms can be as simple as a dark cupboard or as elaborate as a glass-framed minikitchen. Visibility of goods, and easy access are crucial, as is flexibility, allowing for those 3-for-one offers on extra-large boxes of cereals! Even better if you can include a fair-sized worktop for storing plated buffet food when entertaining” – Keith Myers, Director of The Myers Touch. Walk-In Larder Traditionally a staple in every British household, larders and pantries designed by The Myers Touch range in sizes and styles. From freestanding units and pantry solutions opened via pocket doors, to large walk-in pantries and larders featuring floor-to-ceiling shelving and box storage, pantries and larders are increasingly seen by consumers as a modern essential in a new kitchen. Even within smaller kitchen spaces that don’t have the space for a walk-in larder, tall cabinets with multiple drawers, pull-out drawers and shelves are a popular option for organising supplies and keeping worktops and cabinetry clutter-free. Bespoke pantries and larders are also a chance for their design team to truly reflect a customer’s personality within a scheme. From colourful interiors that contains internal wicker storage baskets, shelving and marble countertops to pull-out drawers that store spices, sauces, dry foods and pet foods, many customers are embracing their hidden pantry or larder as a statement piece within their kitchen. Bespoke Larder Cupboard SieMatic Larder Cupboard “By incorporating both bespoke and SieMatic’s multi-award winning ‘Multimatic’ modular storage system within our pantries and larder spaces allows our design team to truly customise storage systems within our kitchen spaces. The Multimatic multi-functional aluminium system includes a comprehensive range of interior fittings for drawers and cabinets that gains around 30% more storage space. The flexible shelving system also provides easy storage for even tall objects such as bottles or chopping boards” – Helena Myers, Director of The Myers Touch.
