A truly bespoke kitchen space
‘Hidden Kitchen Designs’ in open-plan kitchen spaces from The Myers Touch
Reflecting homeowners’ desires for a truly bespoke kitchen space, luxury kitchen designers, The Myers Touch are delighted to showcase examples of ‘hidden kitchen’ designs that reveal a range of custom solutions such as walkin utility rooms, home office spaces, pantries and breakfast cupboards that keep family kitchens clutter-free and fully functional.
POCKET DOORS
The inclusion of two types of pocket doors is a popular choice amongst The Myers Touch design team particularly when designing open-plan, multifunctional kitchen spaces. The first type used in schemes is a ‘sliding pocket door’ system that elegantly slides into a pocket within the wall and is ideal as a space-saving entrance to a kitchen, or as a ‘reveal’ to a connected walk-in pantry or utility space.
The second example is a ‘cabinetry pocket door’ system which allows the user to open the cabinet, and then easily slide it back into a pocket system mechanism – this type of system is often used to hideaway breakfast cupboards, or everyday appliance cupboards that house juicers, blenders, and smoothie makers.
In addition to clever storage solutions, The Myers Touch answer homeowners’ requests to hideaway treasured and personal items within their schemes. A recent example of this is a bespoke bookcase which was designed to be easily accessible behind a secret build-down to store much-loved recipe books.
HIDDEN STORAGE SYSTEMS
Using SieMatic’s multi-award winning ‘Multimatic’ modular storage system, The Myers Touch design team can truly customise storage systems within kitchen spaces. The multifunctional aluminium system includes a comprehensive range of interior fittings for drawers and cabinets, in addition to a flexible shelving system.

The Multimatic system allows the designers to maximise a storage space cleverly as even tall objects such as bottles or chopping boards can be stored easily. It can also be fixed to the inside of SieMatic’s unit doors, as well as inside the carcase of the cabinets, to gain around 30% more storage space.
WALK-IN UTILITY ROOMS AND PANTRIES
Walk-in utility spaces, laundry rooms and pantries are also popular inclusions for busy families as they help the homeowner organise and hideaway everyday food supplies and storage and noisy laundry appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers.
Walk-in pantries can also be designed to include bespoke shelving, with options such as wine glass racks and box shelving units for everyday items such as crockery, trays, food jars and pet food.
