Butler's Pantry Custom Design
The ultimate kitchen companion — a custom butler's pantry keeps your main kitchen clutter-free while providing dedicated storage, prep space, and appliance housing.
Why Every Perth Kitchen Needs a Butler's Pantry
A butler's pantry is the most requested addition in Perth kitchen renovations. It keeps countertop appliances, bulk dry goods, and prep mess hidden behind closed doors — so your main kitchen always looks immaculate.
Whether you're building a new home or renovating, Hanova designs custom butler's pantry cabinetry that integrates seamlessly with your kitchen. Every layout is tailored to your cooking habits, entertaining style, and storage requirements.
What Makes a Great Butler's Pantry?
A well-designed butler's pantry is more than extra cupboard space. It's a functional workstation that makes your entire kitchen experience better.
Designed for Function
Every butler's pantry layout is designed around how you actually use it — prep zones, appliance housing, storage hierarchy, and workflow. Form follows function.
Custom Fitted
Built to your exact room dimensions. Whether you have a compact nook off the kitchen or a spacious walk-through, we maximise every centimetre of usable space.
Complementary Finishes
Match or contrast with your main kitchen. We can replicate your kitchen door profile in a different colour, or create an entirely distinct aesthetic for the pantry.
Intelligent Storage
Pull-out shelves, spice drawers, appliance garages, wine racks, and dedicated zones for small appliances. Everything has a designated home.
Integrated Appliance Housing
Built-in spaces for microwaves, coffee machines, toasters, and other countertop appliances. Keep your main kitchen benchtops completely clear.
Premium Construction
Same plywood boxes, soft-close hardware, and quality finishes as our kitchen range. Your butler's pantry is built to the same exacting standard.
Butler's Pantry Layouts
Single-Wall Butler's Pantry
The most common layout for Perth homes. A single run of cabinetry along one wall with overhead cupboards, a benchtop workspace, and underbench storage. Typically 1.5 to 3 metres wide, tucked behind the main kitchen.
- Compact footprint
- Benchtop prep space
- Overhead and underbench storage
- Ideal for smaller homes and renovations
Galley Butler's Pantry
Cabinetry on both sides of a walk-through corridor. This layout doubles your storage and bench space, with room for a secondary sink, dishwasher, and multiple appliance stations. Popular in new builds and large renovations.
- Maximum storage capacity
- Dual-sided bench space
- Room for secondary sink and dishwasher
- Walk-through access to laundry or garage
L-Shaped Butler's Pantry
Wraps around a corner for homes where a full galley isn't possible. The L-shape provides ample bench space, a corner carousel or pull-out for deep storage, and room for built-in appliances.
- Efficient use of corner space
- Extended bench workspace
- Corner carousel options
- Flexible appliance placement

Butler's Pantry FAQs
How much does a custom butler's pantry cost in Perth?
A custom butler's pantry in Perth typically costs between $5,000 and $20,000 for cabinetry, depending on size, layout, materials, and inclusions like sinks or appliance housing. A simple single-wall setup starts from around $5,000, while a full galley with stone benchtops and integrated appliances can reach $20,000+.
What size room do I need for a butler's pantry?
A functional single-wall butler's pantry can fit in a space as small as 1.5m x 1.2m. Galley layouts need at least 1.2m clearance between opposing benchtops. We design butler's pantries for spaces of all sizes — even compact nooks can be highly functional with the right layout.
Can I add a butler's pantry to an existing kitchen?
Yes. Many Perth homeowners convert adjacent laundries, storage rooms, or underutilised hallways into butler's pantries during a kitchen renovation. We design cabinetry to fit existing spaces without major structural changes.
Should a butler's pantry match my kitchen?
It depends on your preference. Many homeowners choose matching door profiles in a contrasting colour to create visual connection with distinction. Others opt for a completely different style — for example, a timber-look butler's pantry behind a white gloss kitchen. We design both approaches.
What appliances typically go in a butler's pantry?
Common inclusions are microwave, coffee machine, toaster, kettle, stand mixer, and secondary dishwasher. We design custom appliance garages with retractable doors so appliances are accessible but hidden when not in use.
