Good evening everyone,
Our kitchen will have a pantry of about 6 sqm (65 sq ft) adjacent to it. For aesthetic reasons, we are considering integrating a hidden passage into the kitchen in the form of a tall cabinet door.
This would be feasible with a 70 cm (28 inch) wide door from the manufacturer LEICHT.
We are wondering how practical these types of passages are for daily use and would appreciate hearing your opinions and experiences. The kitchen is initially planned to be handleless.
Alternatively, a sliding door recessed into the wall or a standard door would also be an option.
Thank you!

@ypg Yes, the pantry does not have a window. Does it need to have one?If you plan to use the room several times a day or are frequently handling things there, I would find natural daylight more pleasant than having to turn on artificial lighting every time.hampshire schrieb:
It looks different on a sturdy door frame compared to the edge of kitchen door veneer that isn’t designed for that purpose. You just need to know that.
What is the “but” about?Well, I assumed that with a "hidden passage" between the refrigerator and oven, you would go "through the kitchen" into the pantry, not through a cabinet wall that is somewhere in the kitchen but isn’t actually the "kitchen."I would zone the kitchen as follows:
- Pantry door shifted to the right
- Orange represents storage space in the pantry
- Green = tall cabinet wall in the kitchen, possibly with a 90cm (35 inches) base cabinet niche in between for a coffee machine or kitchen appliance
- Turquoise indicates base cabinets only; cooktop separated from the range hood, both freely positioned along the bottom wall; sink located in the corner at the peninsula transition, creating two full prep areas next to the sink (vegetable washing, knife and board cleaning, etc.) … one between the cooktop and sink, and one at the peninsula … also great for working with several people or setting up a buffet

Cooktop separate from the range hood, both freely placed along the bottom of the plan, I’m not a fan of downdraft extractors, nor of cooking on a kitchen peninsula. I simply believe that most kitchen activities revolve around the sink, refrigerator, and so on. People don’t just prepare hot meals but also one to three cold meals per day.
However, this is subjective and everyone has to decide for themselves. For further suggestions, I recommend a specialist forum—try searching on Google 😉
