Organized Pantry With Built-In Shelving

Organized Pantry With Built-In Shelving

As I promised last week, today I’m going to show you the walk-in pantry that we created in our garage entryway. There’s a video at the end so you can see the flow of the entire area, and I will also list some of the sources at the bottom of each photo, too.


The space we started with was an empty closet; it’s about the size of a half bath and originally was going to be a second downstairs powder room. When we moved in, it was completely empty.

Despite the fact that our kitchen is very roomy, there isn’t a pantry in there, and I knew that would be a great addition (and future selling point). While I was planning out exactly what I wanted to do, I used storage pieces that I already had, but the disorganization and clutter made me crazy–my own fault, I know!. This is a blurry shot but it’s the only one I could find.

We’ve used IKEA’s Billy bookshelves successfully in several projects so I knew that I wanted to use them again–they’re inexpensive but sturdy. (Check out Amy’s kitchen built ins here, my living room built ins here, and Amy’s library built ins here to see what we’ve done with these shelves previously).


Our closest IKEA is two hours away, in Charlotte, but we’ve been through there several times this summer to take my daughter to and from her ballet intensive. We bought two of the 31-1/2″ wide units, one of the 15-3/4″ wide units, and one Gnedby unit (7-7/8″), all in white.


I painted the backs BM’s Revere Pewter to match the walls and my husband and son assembled them and set them up in the pantry. I reciprocated by feeding them dinner. It’s a team effort, y’all!

These are permanent and will stay with the house, so we used fasteners and glue to make sure nothing moves.

Since our baseboards are 6″ tall, we had to remove them in several areas to get the shelves to sit flush against the wall; when we were finished installing the shelves we replaced the trim where it’s visible.

We opted not to add lots of trim around the shelves this time; this is a pantry, after all, and while we want it to be pretty, it doesn’t need to be super-fancy.


I did build this DIY plate rack to fit the shallow wall just inside the door (see the tutorial here), which I think adds a nice custom look to the space.

The shelves are all adjustable, which is great since we all have items of varying heights that we want to store in our pantries. I have always loved having a pretty and organized pantry, and we entertain often (as most of you know, my husband is in the military), so I didn’t buy anything to “style” this space–this is how it really looks. Although I will admit that I did pick up a bunch of dog kibble off the floor before I took the pictures!

The wall right outside is where I have my chalkboard wall calendar that keeps our family organized.

And just outside the pantry door is the niche that I filled with shelves for my cookbooks (tutorial here):

And then around the corner is the renter-friendly closet-turned-mudroom that I made (tutorial here):
