Worried about tunnel effect from kitchen pantries near entrance
10 years ago
Hi everyone,
We're in the middle of a kitchen reno and are concerned about a tunnel effect created by 24" deep pantries on one side of the entrance and 21" of depth created by 15" pantries and a 6" wall on the other side of the kitchen entrance.
Can anyone advise me about this? The other option we're considering is dropping the 24" deep pantry closest to the entrance and replacing it with a 24" deep base cabinet and a 12" deep wall cabinet. Please let me know if you think that's a better option to open up the space visually.
Thank you!
PS. Sorry about the very rough sketch...
