A step-away prep area, drinks station or morning coffee corner with cabinets, counters, a small sink and the storage to match.
Some of the most loved parts of a kitchen are the small ones. A butler’s pantry between the kitchen and dining room keeps serving pieces, extra storage and a prep counter out of sight. A wet bar with a compact sink and beverage fridge turns a corner into a gathering spot. A coffee bar keeps the morning routine from clogging the main counters. In Nashville homes where entertaining is a way of life, these stations earn their space quickly.
We look at where a station would fit: a hallway, a nook, a closet, an alcove or an end of the kitchen. We plan the cabinets, the counter and the specifics, such as a bar sink, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, wine storage, glass racks, open shelving and a spot for the espresso machine. Power, plumbing and lighting are planned in advance. Finishes can match the kitchen or stand out as a jewel-box moment with a bold paint color or a patterned backsplash.
Hallways, alcoves, closets and kitchen ends can all hold a useful station.
Glass racks, wine storage, serving pieces and small appliances get their own places.
Small sinks, beverage fridges and ice makers are coordinated early.
Bold colors and backsplash patterns turn a small station into a showpiece.
