Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Mar 21, 2015 11:35 pm I was wondering if anyone has a butlers pantry with a door that goes through to the laundry?. A friend suggested to me today to do this, then by putting a door on the right of the laundry I'd have access from the carport, to the laundry, through to the kitchen. It would mean taking the door to the verandah away. Maybe also having an internal sliding door to the laundry to save space. This is the plan of the area containing the kitchen, pantry & laundry. The kitchen design has changed completely but that doesn't affect the pantry/laundry. Any thoughts, ideas, advice??? Thanks so much Loving our new home, Upper Hunter NSW on 2.5 acres Re: Walk through Butlers Pantry to Laundry??? 2Mar 22, 2015 9:06 pm We have a pantry the roughly the same size from my guesstimate.It would drive us crazy walking through the pantry into the Laundry. Personally I'd look at replacing the swinging internal laundry door with a cavity slider and I think you idea of a door on the right sounds good. Re: Walk through Butlers Pantry to Laundry??? 3Mar 26, 2015 3:30 pm Absolutely. Our Butlers Pantry walks thru to the laundry. The laundry also has it's own door to the hall on one side and outside on the other. For you, it means shopping goes from carport to laundry to pantry too. Makes sense so do it. Re: Walk through Butlers Pantry to Laundry??? 4Mar 26, 2015 5:18 pm I like the sound of it. I wanted something similar for my house but couldnt get it to work with my plan. i like the idea of shopping going straight from car through laundry to pantry. Re: Walk through Butlers Pantry to Laundry??? 5Mar 29, 2015 2:50 pm We spoke to our builder and as the plans have already gone through council he said it may be a hassle to change things like external doors. I'm thinking now to just close off the internal door to the laundry and use the existing external door, still making a door from the pantry through to the laundry. My husband said the same thing snowy stockman, that it might be annoying to have to walk through the kitchen/pantry to get to the laundry. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I haven't actually done it yet. I too like the idea of coming from the car to laundry straight through to kitchen, thanks so much for your replies and ideas.
