ᐅ Kitchen with direct access to the pantry (storage room)

I am planning a kitchen with an adjacent small pantry (approximately 1.5 x 3.3 m (5 x 11 feet)). Since access to the pantry is only possible through the kitchen, I would like to integrate it visually in a way that looks good.

For example, on Pinterest, you sometimes see doorways made from a cabinet door within the kitchen system, allowing the passage to blend in seamlessly. Unfortunately, these cabinet doors are usually only up to 60 cm (24 inches) wide, which can be a bit narrow—especially if you want to fit a freezer inside.

Has anyone implemented something like this and can share their experience?

Because of the dimensions of the door panels, you don’t need to limit yourself – for example, you could also join two 40cm (16 inches) units together.

And where does this stereotype come from that carpenters are always expensive...
More expensive than Ikea, of course. And also more expensive than the cheapest version from most manufacturers. But otherwise, they are quite competitive in price.

Our refrigerator would not have fit through a 60cm (24 inch) gap.

A door like this isn’t a big deal. A frame and a door are quick to install. Choose a door without a rebate - it can then sit flush with the wall.
It gets a bit more expensive if you want to optimize the door gap.
In my opinion, the most impressive solutions are offered by the Italian door company Linvisibile – I once cut out a promotional photo showing one of their doors open.

@Fummelbrett! already mentioned this.

Two narrow doors and therefore double-leaf?
