Closet-pantry remodeling isn’t necessarily the most difficult home improvement project. But, it does require a modicum of handyman skills. With just a few changes and some simple rearranging, you can do a closet-pantry conversion on your own in a day or two. All you need is a few common household tools and some inexpensive materials. So, let’s get on to how to do closet-pantry remodeling.
Conversion Benefits
The goal is to have an empty space to work with so you can easily convert the closet to a pantry to store non-perishables, cookware, and more. So, you’ll need to relocate whatever is stored in the closet space, storing it in another closet, attic, or basement. This is a good time to declutter and jettison items you don’t use or no longer want to keep in your home.
A family’s kitchen had a broom closet that was converted to a food pantry. Not a bad idea, but, because the shelves were extremely deep, finding and retrieving items from the rear became difficult, if not impossible. The solution is to build a simple box cabinet that slips inside the existing closet. The interior of the cabinet is fitted with standard full-extension drawer glides to which shelving modules are attached. When the shelving units are pulled out, they allow the contents to be fully visible from both sides and from the front to the back … converting the entire interior into convenient, accessible storage. --Ron Hazelton
The benefits of a closet-pantry conversion is having a place to store key items in a nearby space for the kitchen. It makes sense if you already have enough closet space elsewhere. Particularly if you need extra storage space for the kitchen and there’s no dedicated pantry.
