For a while, it was the mudroom that grabbed homebuyers\u2019 attention as the most coveted tiny room of the house. The new status small space (according to our highly unscientific analysis)? The walk-in pantry.<\/p>\n

A while back, we spotted on the historical real estate site Inigo the extremely charming pantry of Matilda Goad, the talented British designer who never met a scalloped design she didn\u2019t like (her online store has napkins, lamp shades, and planters\u2014all of her design and all featuring the charming silhouette). Not surprisingly, she has a penchant for floral prints and vintage pieces, too, but she elevates and modernizes the granny chic aesthetic with bold colors and graphic elements.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a great believer of the idea that if you happen to come across something that you love, you will always find a home for it,\u201d she told Inigo. \u201cI don\u2019t over-consider anything, to me that\u2019s what adds charm and character to a room. I think some people probably think my home and my style is bit of a mashup, but I\u2019m just unafraid of mixing something from the \u201950s with a really modern item that I could\u2019ve bought last week from The Conran Shop. If you love something and it feels right, it will all work together in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Above: Matilda\u2019s small kitchen in her London home features granite counters (notice the scalloped backsplash behind the sink) and cabinets painted Sage Green from Little Greene. The walls are painted with a peachy lime wash from Bauwerk. A slim doorway on the left leads to the tiny pantry.

Above: \u201cWhen I first started designing the room, I thought of it more as a space that I could just shut off from the kitchen, but since then it\u2019s aesthetically developed quite a bit. It\u2019s become so useful, I think it\u2019s probably the most frequented room in the whole house,\u201d she said.

Above: To keep costs down, Matilda chose inexpensive basic tiles but enhanced them by selecting a surprising grout color: red. \u201cThe grout is from Amazon; I discovered a whole world of coloured grouts on there.\u201d
\n

Above: The shelves were made using leftover floorboards. Matilda wanted to keep them shallow so that things don\u2019t get lost in the back. \u201cTheir width is based on the size of a standard Kilner jar.\u201d

Above: The slim French doors were fabricated by her husband\u2019s company Blockhouse Build. Matilda lined them with linen so that she can conceal the pantry when entertaining. <\/p>\n
