Re-Think A Traditional Larger Design
Many of us imagine a larder as a large closet or cabinet or even a small, separate space similar to a pantry. However, in modern-day kitchens, anything is possible.
This beautiful kitchen, designed by Poggenpohl, Chelsea, is full of clever storage and display areas. It’s perfect for storing all kinds of items, including food and kitchenware.
The use of luxurious materials, such as glass doors, shelves, and warm wooden bases, creates an elegant display cabinet. Internal lights add the finishing touch.
The hanging shelf, which is proudly displayed above the island, also creates a unique storage platform. Natasha Wegrzyn is the studio manager of Poggenpohl in Chelsea. She comments, “This bespoke shelf has the same smoked-oak veneer as the furniture while LED strips provide vital task lighting.”

Vipp CEO Kasper Egelund says that ‘Fluted and reeded cabinet doors instantly elevate a scheme by adding a real sense of refinement.

What makes a good LARGER?
The larder should have enough space for and meet your needs.
If you know exactly what you want to do with this space, you can create a design that is more functional and personalized.
What is the difference between a larger pantry and a smaller one?
When discussing the design of a modern kitchen, the terms “larder” and “pantry” are often used interchangeably. However, there are subtle differences that you should be aware of.
A pantry is typically much larger than a larder, and it is usually a separate space that is either attached to or near the kitchen. Larders are generally large, cool cabinets integrated into the kitchen. They tend to be smaller.
You can use both to store dried products, tins, and jars as, well as kitchenware.
A larder’s purpose is to provide a practical storage space in which to keep food and kitchen objects and accessories neat. However, our exploration of luxurious larders in the living room shows that this space is an opportunity to create a beautiful design feature in the home, helping your kitchen look and feel more attractive, decorative, and unique.
