Zoning, appliance placement, and finish selection for the back-of-house room that keeps the display kitchen pristine.
The scullery exists so the kitchen can stay quiet. Design it as a working room and it will earn its floor area every day; design it as a decorative pantry and it becomes expensive shelving.
This is the room for conversion varnish and a durable engineered counter. Save the hardwax oil and the exotic slab for surfaces guests see. Nobody photographs a scullery, and everybody uses one.
Under-shelf task lighting matters more here than anywhere else in the house. Sculleries are usually interior rooms without windows, and a dark working counter defeats the purpose of the room.
Marcus leads the Haven millwork shop, where he has built inset cabinetry, libraries, and architectural panelling for three decades. He trained under English joiners and still cuts the first dovetail on every estate commission by hand.
