Could a Butler’s Pantry be the Hidden Gem in Your New Home?
Dreaming about your future kitchen? Open-concept designs and quartz countertops often steal the spotlight when planning a new kitchen but there’s one feature that deserves more attention: the butler’s pantry.
At Mikmada Homes, we’ve seen a growing number of families at Royal Valley Guelph, choose home designs that include a butler’s pantry.
Traditionally located between the kitchen and dining room, a butler’s pantry acts as a secondary space for food prep, storage, and serving. Today, it’s a stylish and functional upgrade that adds convenience and organization to your daily routine.

Why Homebuyers Love It
Extra Storage
If your current kitchen feels cluttered, you’ll appreciate the extra cabinets and shelving a butler’s pantry provides. It’s the perfect spot for storing small appliances, seasonal serving ware, and pantry staples—without sacrificing space in your main kitchen.
Keeps the Kitchen Tidy
Entertaining guests? A butler’s pantry allows you to prep and plate food out of sight, keeping your kitchen clean and your hosting stress-free.
Adds Resale Value
Features like a butler’s pantry are often viewed as luxury upgrades, making your home more attractive to future buyers. It’s a practical choice with long-term benefits.
Great for Families
Need a coffee station, snack area, or lunch-packing zone? The butler’s pantry can be customized to fit your lifestyle, especially in busy households.
Remember to consider additional plumbing to accommodate a sink or dishwasher and electrical outlets for small appliances.
