Why are butler’s pantries making a comeback? We spent decades tearing down walls for open-concept kitchens, only to start designing ways to hide everything again. Appliance garages, hidden refrigerators, sculleries, second kitchens… it’s interesting how much of home design comes down to human psychology. We want our kitchens to be the heart of the home, but we also want to control what people see. Maybe the Victorians were onto something. Would you rather have an open-concept kitchen or a separate prep kitchen? #ButlersPantry #KitchenDesign #HomeDesign #Architecture #DesignPsychology
