Every Kitchen Designer I Asked Said This Storage Feature Is the One Thing That Will Defeat Your Space's Clutter

A marble kitchen with a double pocket door breakfast bar.

If I were to have to choose one design feature that every kitchen could benefit from, without a doubt, I’m choosing a pocket door breakfast station. When designing a kitchen, there is a constant battle between style, and functionality, and we’re endlessly searching for that equilibrium, where these two elements can coexist in perfect balance. It’s something that can be hard to find, especially when we’re constantly bombarded with picture-perfect kitchens, whose sole purpose is looking good on the ‘gram.

The pocket door breakfast station achieves that equilibrium with absolute ease. If you were searching for a handy breakfast nook, but have been put off by the idea of kitchen appliances laying out on your counters, this design is the perfect solution. There’s no disappointment quite like completing your expertly designed kitchen, just to realise that your culinary clutter takes up the entirety of your new countertop. Even after the deepest clean, it can be hard to see your space as anything other than messy.
