Reimagine What a Pantry Can Be
The average pantry? Kind of a disaster.
Too-deep shelves that become food graveyards. Fixed racks that waste vertical space. A jumbled mess of cans, snacks, and bags that’s more of a daily battle than a functional storage zone.
If you’ve ever knocked over a bottle while trying to find a spice, or bought something you already had (hidden in the back somewhere), you know the struggle.
That’s why B & E Custom Closets & Design is redefining pantry storage for Ballantyne homeowners—one perfectly planned shelf at a time. We believe a pantry should help your home work better, not harder. It should make dinner prep easier, grocery hauls more efficient, and even look good while doing it.
Why a Custom Pantry Is a Game-Changer
Think about how often you use your pantry. Daily. Probably multiple times a day.
Now imagine that space being clean, streamlined, and tailored to how you live—no more digging, no more duplicates, and no more disorganization. A custom pantry can be a total lifestyle upgrade. Here’s why:
Better Visibility = Less Waste
Know what you have. Use what you buy. Stop tossing out expired cans or half-full snack boxes you forgot about.
Faster Meal Prep
Designated zones mean you grab what you need in seconds. No more digging or shuffling.
Cleaner Kitchen
When your pantry works, your countertops and cabinets stop overflowing. Everything has a place.
Serious Style Points
Don’t underestimate how gorgeous a custom pantry can be. Matching finishes, sleek hardware, built-in lighting—it becomes a hidden gem your guests will admire.
Designed for the Way You Live
A family with three kids needs a totally different pantry than a couple that loves to entertain. A minimalist cook has different needs than a bulk-buying prepper.
That’s why we don’t do generic. We listen, we design, and we build specifically for your lifestyle.
Whether you want snack stations low enough for little hands, labeled bulk bins for grains, or an appliance garage for that beloved air fryer—this is storage made for real life.
The Process: Smart, Simple, and All About You
We’re a full-service design and installation team, which means we’re with you from start to finish. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: In-Home Design Consultation
We come to your home (yep, in person), check out your current pantry setup, and ask the right questions to understand what’s not working—and what your dream setup looks like.
Step 2: Visualize with 3D Renderings
You’ll see exactly what your new pantry could look like. From shelf heights to drawer layouts, every detail is mapped out so you can tweak and approve before we ever cut a single board.
Step 3: Material Selection & Hardware Details
From modern matte black to soft oak tones, we’ll help you select finishes that match your kitchen and your vibe. Add-ons like LED lighting, pull-out spice racks, or soft-close drawers? All available.
Step 4: Expert Installation
Our team handles the full build and install. We show up on time, work efficiently, and clean up like we were never there—except for the fact your pantry now looks amazing.
Pantry Styles We Specialize In
Every kitchen is different. That’s why we build solutions that fit your space and your goals—whether you’ve got a massive walk-in or a slim wall nook.
Walk-In Pantries
Room to roam—and organize. We create sectioned layouts for baking, bulk goods, snacks, small appliances, and more. Add wine storage, baskets, bins, or even a small countertop.
Butler’s Pantries
Great for hosting and entertaining, these side-pantries add prep space and hidden storage. Keep the mess out of sight and the essentials close at hand.
Wall Pantry Systems
No pantry room? No problem. We design stunning wall-based storage systems that look built-in and store more than you’d think.
Compact & Corner Pantries
Small space? Awkward layout? We thrive on these challenges. Pull-out drawers, vertical dividers, and wraparound shelving make tight spaces super functional.
Wine, Spice & Dry Goods Integration
Want your pantry to wow? Add open shelving for glass jars, dedicated wine cubbies, or spice racks that keep everything in easy reach—and on full display.

The 5 Most Common Pantry Mistakes (And How We Fix Them)
1. Shelves That Are Too Deep
Big shelves = lost items. We use shallow shelving, pull-outs, and adjustable designs to keep everything in view.
2. No System or Zones
When there’s no structure, clutter creeps in. We create labeled zones for snacks, dry goods, cans, and more to keep things orderly.
3. Wasted Vertical Space
We design from floor to ceiling. That means extra storage for overflow items, backup stock, and rarely used gear.
4. Bad Lighting
If you can’t see it, you won’t use it. We install clean, energy-efficient LED lighting so nothing hides in the shadows.
5. Fixed, One-Size Shelving
We build to fit you. Taller shelves for appliances? Lower shelves for kids’ snacks? Done. Your pantry should match how you live.
