There’s something special about a walk-in pantry that’s beautifully tailored to lifestyle and design. Our latest project in Bicester showcases a beautifully functional space that truly wows.
The Popularity of the Walk-In Pantry
Once considered a luxury, walk-in pantries have quickly become one of the most sought-after kitchen features in contemporary home design. From curated Pinterest boards and interior design magazines to trending Instagram reels, these stylish storage features dominate the world of interiors, and for good reason.
As kitchens evolve into open-plan, multifunctional hubs for cooking, entertaining, and living, the demand for smart kitchen storage solutions has skyrocketed. A walk-in pantry offers a dedicated space to keep worktops clear, ingredients organised, and your kitchen running smoothly, all while elevating the overall design.
Today’s walk-in pantries are more than just practical. With bespoke cabinetry, open shelving, and thoughtful styling, they’ve become an extension of the kitchen aesthetic, a place where beauty meets everyday functionality. Not only does a well-designed pantry streamline your routine, but it also increases your home’s appeal and long-term value. In short, it’s an effortlessly stylish and undeniably smart upgrade.
A Space That Works as Hard as It Looks
This Bicester walk-in pantry goes beyond traditional expectations. Designed as a seamless extension of the kitchen to maximise functionality, it combines pantry storage solutions with luxury utility room touches, all while embracing timeless craftsmanship and smart design.
What makes it stand out?
- Bench seating with built-in storage: The perfect place to tuck away large clutter or hide seasonal items and shopping bags.
- Upper and lower open shelving: A practical yet stylish way to display pantry jars, cookbooks, and ceramics while keeping everything easily accessible.
- Tongue and groove wall detailing: Adds a layer of classic charm, texture, and visual interest to the space.
- Functional prep area: Featuring a stunning Atlas Plan Calacatta Imperial worktop, durable, elegant, and made for everyday use.

The Materials & Colour Palette
Every element of this pantry was selected with purpose, creating a warm, refined feel that elevates the room from functional to luxurious.
- Cabinetry: Finished in Whiskey – a rich, earthy shade that brings depth and warmth to the space.
- Handles: Hendel & Hendel Bailgate Dark Brushed Brass – delivering contrast and a refined touch of glamour.
- Walls: Painted in Chester Stone, a calming neutral that balances out the bolder cabinetry.
- Flooring: Ca’Pietra Porcelain Pierre Gris, chosen for its durability and timeless stone-look finish.
These choices combine to form a harmonious, grounded design that feels effortlessly polished.
Smart Storage Meets Seamless Style
This pantry is about purposeful design, where smart storage meets everyday ease. Every detail is thoughtfully considered to maximise organisation and streamline your daily routine. Lower open shelving is perfect for heavier items and bulky appliances, keeping them within easy reach yet neatly tucked away. Open shelves are ideal for storing dry goods, baking essentials, and stylish jars. Prefer a cleaner look? Add lower cabinet doors to conceal clutter and create a more polished finish.
A built-in worktop and hanging rail transform the space from simple storage to a fully functional prep zone, storage hub, utility room, and kitchen extension. This flexible layout speaks to the growing demand for multi-tasking spaces, where every inch is beautifully designed to work harder and smarter.
