Rebekah Zaveloff I love butler's pantries that look like butler's pantries but are designed more for a modern lifestyle - ie, not closing oneself off in that room. I like walk-through ones, like shown above, and others that are U-shaped that you walk past on the way between the dining room and kitchen. They can store everything from cookbooks and serving dishes to doubling as a bar or serving space for entertaining. They can also act as a food pantry. Hope this helps.
This classic butler's pantry shares its cabinetry finish with the adjacent kitchen, creating a desirable visual flow between the two rooms. This is a traditional location and design plan for a butler's pantry.

Gorgeous! If you entertain often, a butler's pantry can be almost as helpful as, well, having a butler. It's an ideal place to store the dishes you use when you host, and is a great place to stage meals before you serve them. Here are some tips for planning and equipping one in your home.
