Revamp Your Pantry and Wave Goodbye to Wire Shelves!

If you ask homeowners about the builder-grade wire shelves in their pantries, most will express a strong desire to replace them. Wire shelving isn’t popular, and when it comes to a pantry, it’s simply not the best option for storing food items.

These shelves lack adjustability, which is crucial for accommodating the varying heights and sizes of canned goods, jars, canisters, boxed pasta, spice containers, dishes, small kitchen appliances, and more.

Items on wire shelves tend to tilt, tip over, fall through the gaps, and create a messy, unattractive appearance. It’s also difficult to slide cans, jars, or boxes on these shelves, and wire shelving often doesn’t support the weight of pantry items well. To address this frustrating issue, many people resort to creative solutions, lining their pantry wire shelves with cardboard, plywood, plastic sheets—you name it!

Kitchen pantries are among the areas in your home where organization can significantly enhance your daily life. The difference between a custom Fortune Closetss pantry and traditional wire shelving is truly dramatic!

So, how do you begin the transformation of your pantry into a beautiful, better-organized, and more functional space for you and your family? An experienced Fortune Closetss designer will assess your existing pantry, evaluating your current storage along with the shape and size of your space. We’ll listen to your needs and wishlist for your custom pantry, designing a layout that maximizes available storage while ensuring efficiency and ease of use.

For walk-in pantries, we often recommend our rounded corner shelves to make the most of corner space, allowing full access to the items stored there. These rounded shelves are perfect for displaying small appliances, larger serving dishes, lazy Susans, rotating spice racks, or any items you want to keep easily visible and accessible. They lend a clean, seamless, and beautiful design to your pantry, with solid, one-piece, custom-sized shelves that fit any corner space—no seamed two-piece corners here!

Our glide-out wire baskets and soft-close dovetailed wood drawers can be customized to fit your pantry’s unique needs. Vented glide-out baskets are ideal for storing produce or providing easy access to snacks and grab-and-go items.

We can also design around refrigerators, freezers, wine fridges, and even create a dedicated area for a coffee station or appliance counter.

Do you have 9-foot or taller ceilings? Our extended height pantry system offers an additional 14 inches of upper shelving storage.
