The door to a pantry or laundry room doesn't have to disappear into the wall.
This one is knotty wood with a tall panel of textured glass up top. The glass lets light through but blurs what's behind it. Nobody needs a clear view of the shelves.
Black trim around it makes the wood grain stand out against the white shiplap.
Some people go further and put a heavy exterior door on their pantry. That works. A thick exterior door can be used inside. It doesn't go the other way, though. An interior door isn't built to face the weather.
Small rooms are a good place to try a door you'd think twice about anywhere else.
