This English pantry does more than just store marmite, potato crisps and spotted dick. The open shelving in the 54-square-foot space displays the family’s collection of serving pieces and china.
The kitchen and pantry were designed by Peter Humphrey for a couple and their three children, ages 5, 9 and 16, who live in a Tudor manor house in Suffolk, England. Here are some of the elements in the roughly $30,000 project created by Mr. Humphrey, founder and creative director of Humphrey Munson, based in Essex.
1. Custom cabinetry by Humphrey Munson is made of tulipwood. Some of the upper shelves have hidden grooves to keep plates in place.
