Look at the gadgets and storage items you intend to keep in there and draw the walls to scale and configure shelving to suit the heights and depths of what you need to store. Remember the allow for the shelf thickness and the bracket or support etc too . Things like mixers and juicers could be kept ready to use at an optimum height ( ie you don't want to be stretching up or bending down to use them ) light weight things like cereals could be kept up high. Heavy items mid to low. Baskets with all your baking things could be stored together to make it easy to lift one basket into your kitchen to use etc ? Allow relatively easy access to view meters etc ! Take your time and keep ticking off things you've allowed for on the drawing ! You'll get there eventually !!

You're really looking at either a hi end kitchen company who supply a more traditional style kitchen ie inframe, or as @Daisy England says, go to an independent, but as you're planning on having this sitting on your worktop, depending on the design of the rest of the kitchen ie if you have towers, the counter level bi fold doors would be to a special size (as most tall doors are designed for tower use). The easiest way to do this would be to have an extra wide larder (800 or 900), fit an internal drawer unit at the bottom, then a piece of worktop, have power points inside and 2 or 3 shelves above. Depending on where the doors come from it may 2x 1965 doors or 2x 1245 doors at the top and 2x 715 doors at the bottom, all standard stuff. Bearing in mind the appliances your trying to hide would be too big to fit inside a 'standard' 300 deep dresser type unit, the counter top option might not be the most suitable. But for a budget of 20K, i could design and supply a larger than average kitchen that has some bespoke made to measure doors and specially designed rigid cabinets and all to a high spec.

I have a very similar pantry which I would love to close up as the access into it takes up so much room, meaning it takes up the room of at least 4 cupboards or more. Mine also has a very low under stairs sloping ceiling which is so annoying. So instead of a U shaped kitchen with tons of worktop, I’m stuck with galley style with very little worktop. Unfortunately it also houses the electricity smart meter and the fuse box - nothing’s ever straightforward! If you don’t need the storage or another door accessing the pantry I think I would plasterboard it up.

Hello, Hoping for some help please I am in design phase, pre planning, so still able to change layout, windows etc I thought it would be best to think about kitchen design now, before we put in plans for planning. Any thoughts on how we should plan our kitchen, need a fridge/1.5 oven/microwave in kitchen Freezer, probably in the utility, unless we can fit it into pantry. Not sure on size of window in kitchen Think id prefer a clear island
