Hidden passage in pantry - seeking experiences

A similar idea, at least regarding the tall cabinets, I also had. I would actually do it that way for myself if I had to buy this shell construction... but sometimes I also prefer something a bit more innovative in the design, even if many find it strange because it deviates from the standard.

I had also thought about a passage towards the wardrobe ... ultimately it depends on the storage needs ;) ... in Yvonne's solution, however, I would have the pantry door open outwards.

What I could imagine in the more closed variant would be a kind of "dog flap" between the wardrobe and the pantry, to, for example, push beverage crates back and forth ... practically opposite the pantry/kitchen door. There could be a passage in the wardrobe cabinet in the wardrobe and it could be completely open in the pantry. Then the cabinets on the left side of the pantry could be extended to 150 cm. For example, a large freezer cabinet or something like that.

Thank you too for your effort to rearrange ☺️ That would of course also be an option that I will definitely take a closer look at. We actually wanted a large island at the front towards the living room. But I think that wouldn't be possible anymore with the side tall cabinets. However, I will ask the kitchen planner about that.

Yes, true. I now save myself the details because many things here fizzle out. It’s only meant to serve as a suggestion.

@ypg Many thanks to you too for your effort to replan

You’re welcome!

There is some island there. In your original plan, it feels like half of your kitchen is actually just a passage and hardly integrated. It then only serves for pinboards and pictures. You basically lose an entire wall length – it remains unused. But I can also imagine that with a full layout discussion more ideas could flow in, which might possibly give you a wider kitchen and thus more possibilities.

340 cm incl. Durchgangsmöglichkeit is simply not the "width" for large islands, apart from the fact that with the room layout they have less island character and more barrier character.
