The Return of the Pantry and Other Must-Have Trends

The pantry is back, and this time it’s not about nostalgia but about aspiration. Today’s homeowners want kitchens that feel sleek, clutter-free and beautifully simple.

The Return of the Pantry and Other Must Have Trends

A well-designed pantry provides the perfect solution, offering stylish storage for everything from bulk cereals to wine, practical, functional and discreet. Alongside this, “morning kitchens” are rising in popularity, with toasters, coffee machines and juicers tucked neatly out of sight, keeping the main kitchen surfaces clear and calm.

But pantries are just the beginning. Clients are increasingly asking for clever hidden spaces: studies that double as flexible work zones, secret doors concealing utility rooms, and smart storage that keeps the flow of the home uninterrupted.

At the more ambitious end, we’re seeing outdoor living taken to new levels, with fully equipped kitchens, gyms, spa areas, pools and even paddle courts becoming part of the modern wish list. These spaces extend the home into the garden, offering year-round opportunities for relaxation and entertaining.

From hidden spaces to outdoor sanctuaries, today’s must-haves aren’t just practical, they redefine what aspirational living looks like.
