Design experts are always thinking about the future, in attempts to predict (and plan for) what will be big. If you talk to a design pro, most will admit that, thanks to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the future of America’s kitchens actually looks a lot different than what they imagined just a few years ago.

A butler’s pantry might be equipped with an extra sink, workspace for food prep, a microwave or a coffee machine, and it can be used to stage foods before serving them. A butler’s pantry can also serve to connect a kitchen to a dining room.
