Custom Pantry Design & Organization in Baltimore
Pull-outs, baskets, appliance garages. Installed range in the Baltimore market: $2,000 – $12,000.
What a great pantry includes
A pantry works when everything is visible and nothing is stacked three deep. Custom pantry systems use shallow adjustable shelving, full-extension pull-outs, wire and woven baskets, and counter-height landing zones for small appliances. In Baltimore rowhouses that means under-stair pantries and converted broom closets. In Howard County kitchens it means walk-in pantries with a coffee station and a second refrigerator.
- Adjustable shelving 12 to 16 inches deep so cans and boxes sit one row deep
- Full-extension pull-out drawers for heavy items and kids' snacks
- Wire, acrylic and woven baskets with label holders
- Appliance garages, coffee and toast stations with outlets
- Butler's pantries with glass upper cabinets and stone counters
- Under-stair and closet conversions for rowhouses and condos

Custom Pantries: questions Baltimore homeowners ask
How much does a custom pantry cost?
National averages put pantry projects near $4,500 with a range of $1,500 to $10,000. A walk-in pantry with full-height cabinetry runs $8,000 to $15,000. Converting an existing closet to a pull-out pantry is the most affordable option at $2,000 to $4,500.
Can you add a pantry where there is none?
Often. Designers we match convert coat closets, under-stair spaces and unused wall sections into pantries using 12-inch-deep floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. In rowhouses, the space under the stairs is the most common win.
What is the best pantry shelf depth?
Twelve to sixteen inches. Deeper shelves hide things. If you must use deep shelves, use pull-out drawers so the back row comes to you.
