Design Palette
Matte black sink on shiplap wall with full open shelving
About This Design
We built this pantry around the contrast of a matte black farmhouse sink against a white shiplap wall. The thick wood floating shelf above the sink holds frequently used jars and tins, while the full open shelving on the left displays a complete set of white ceramic pantry jars organized by size. Brass hardware bridges both zones.
Design Tip
Use shiplap or vertical boards as a pantry backsplash behind the sink instead of tile. It is easier to install, more forgiving at seams than grout lines in a narrow space, and adds warmth and texture that white subway tile cannot. Seal the shiplap with a semi-gloss finish so it wipes clean.

Spatial Approach
The pantry is laid out with the sink wall on the right and full-height open shelving running the full left wall. The L-shaped counter wraps the corner, giving continuous prep space. The shiplap panel behind the sink draws the eye immediately upon entry, making it the intentional focal point of the room. Open shelving on the left is organized by ceramic container height to maintain visual rhythm.
Best For
A dedicated prep and storage pantry for households that cook from scratch and want a utility sink away from the main kitchen. The open shelving stores organized dry goods and daily-use ceramics, while the marble counter provides additional prep surface beyond the main kitchen island.
