Custom Butlers Pantry by Pro Closet & Cabinetry
Not everyone has a butler, but why not get a custom butler’s pantry? We make such a project easy for you. A butler’s pantry has become a sought-after addition, seamlessly combining elegance, convenience, and practicality.
This transitional space, located between the kitchen and dining room, will function as a perfect place for food prep, storage, and entertaining. We specialize in designing and crafting custom butler’s pantries that elevate your home design while making your daily routines more functional and enjoyable.
Benefits of a Butler’s Pantry
A butler’s pantry is more than just an extra room in your home; it’s a functional haven that simplifies everything and keeps your main kitchen clutter-free. Our strategically located butler’s pantries serve as the perfect intermediary space for preparing meals, organizing dishes, and storing essentials. Whether it’s a formal dining event or a casual gathering, this versatile kitchen addition ensures everything you need is right at your fingertips.
Our custom butler pantries offer storage areas tailored to your needs offering elegance as well as function. From base cabinets and drawers that accommodate bulky appliances to higher cabinets that keep glassware and dinnerware neatly organized, every element is designed with purpose. Add features like marble countertops, prep sinks, and open shelving for displaying your most prized pieces, and you’ll have a space that’s both practical and stunning while also furthering your inspiration.
Planning Your Butler’s Pantry
When planning your dream butler’s pantry, it’s essential to envision how the space will enhance your kitchen and your home’s overall functionality and flow. This isn’t just a room for extra storage; it’s an integral part of your daily life.
Begin by considering how you’ll use the pantry space itself—whether as a dedicated area for food prep, a storage hub for small appliances and pantry items, or a fully equipped scullery that complements your primary kitchen. Every home is unique, and your butler’s pantry should reflect your specific needs and lifestyle.
A Clear Vision of the Space in Your Kitchen and Elsewhere
To achieve the perfect balance of utility and elegance, start with a clear vision of the space’s role. Will it primarily serve as a preparation zone for meals, a place to store and organize fine China and glassware, or a multi-functional area that combines all these elements?
This clarity will guide decisions about features such as base cabinets for heavier items, upper cabinets for dishes and glassware, and counters for convenient food preparation. We also recommend the spaces incorporating thoughtful elements like prep sinks, pantry shelves, and dedicated drawers to enhance the room’s usability.

What Our Customers Have To Say
We’re proud of the work we do…but we might be a bit biased. So, we’ll let our past customers do the talking!
We had an exceptional experience working with Natalie from start to finish. She completely redesigned our master closet in a way that maximized storage without sacrificing beauty or attention to detail—something that’s harder to achieve than it sounds.Every inch of space was thoughtfully utilized, and the final result feels both highly functional and visually elevated. It truly transformed how we use the space day-to-day. The quality of the materials was also higher end than I ever could have imagined. This was not our first experience with a customized closet, and it blew the other two companies' product out of the water.Their team was incredibly professional, communicative, and consistently available throughout the entire process. They kept us informed at every stage, were responsive to questions, and made everything feel seamless.It’s rare to find a company that executes this well on both design and service, but they absolutely delivered. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their space in a meaningful, lasting way.Also- if you're thinking about going out on a limb with color- do it! We chose a beautiful muted green and couldn't be happier with the final look.
15/10 would recommend Pro closet to anyone wanting to have custom cabinets installed. Natalie helped design my mudroom, pantry and bedroom Closet. The pantry/nest is my dream build and turned out better than I imagined. Gene went above and beyond the basic installation and Jared the owner was so easy to work with. I have recommended Pro Closet to neighbors, friends and family.
Great company and wonderful employees to work with. Did an amazing job on my closets
I love my new closet! Jared explained the process thoroughly, Natalie had great design ideas and encouraged my input, and Dennis, the installer, was professional and skilled! I’m already on Natalie’s schedule for our next closet project!
UPDATE: Pro Closet replaced the hinges with full extension versions which corrected the issue. Gene aligned the doors and one drawer perfectly. No thrashing over anything. Raised my rating to the 5 Star level as it is appropriate.Almost perfect. We worked with Natalie for quite a while to get what we needed and wanted. She was easy to work with but there were communication issues. We were able to work all but one detail which she is working on now. Will post an update when the issue (minor) is resolved.Meanwhile, we love the organization and voluminous storage space along with our cedar closet.The installers were courteous, clean and careful.I would have no problem recommending Pro Closet.
Jared has done multiple projects in multiple homes for us. So grateful for his vision and execution on his renovations.
Wonderful company to work with. Great options for our budget and worked with us on all our specific requirements.
Can not recommend Pro Closets enough! Natalie’s expertise was very helpful in not crowding small spaces but maximizing every inch. Installers Dennis and Andres showed up on time! Finished the job and even cleaned up the job site when completed.
I am so impressed with Pro Closet Designs! I am a local Ocala Realtor and highly recommend this company, especially Natalie Wells. I will certainly use both Natalie and Pro Closet Designs for many future recommendations. Thank you Pro Closet!
I worked with pro closets to design my mud room. I’ve had a great experience and I’m very happy with my results. I would recommend this company to friends and family!
This company has done several project for us ranging from closets to full kitchen renovations. They took my requests and made my visions come to life. Its very clear that customer satisfaction and quality work is what Pro Closet Designs is centered around and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Jared and his team. I look forward to many future project with them!
I would highly recommend Pro Closet!! They are great! Natalie was so helpful and friendly. She had great ideas to complete our playroom with great cabinetry with storage. The whole process was done in the time frame given and excellent quality.
I highly recommend pro closet designs, they did an excellent job and were great with communication. The finished product came out above my expectations!
Absolutely love our custom closets. We did our master and kids bedrooms. So helpful and pretty to look at. Great quality. Love that if you dream it they can do it. Working with Natalie was a dream. Definitely recommend them to everyone I know.
I expected quality work and beautiful closets. That is not the case. I should have gone to IKEA, Lowes or Home Depot I probably should have and have paid half the cost, and it’s the same type of shelving . I would not recommend if you want quality shelving. I asked for long wood shelves and got a ton of built in cubicles. Nothing fits in them! I have less space than before . Very disappointed! Cheap looking and not at all what I wanted or asked for.
We had such a great experience. N. Wells took what I visioned for my closets and made it come together so nicely. I had my laundry room, kitchen pantry, and master closet done. They were so quick and we were very happy with the results. Thank you so much!
I personally have worked with Jared the owner and Natalie in sales. I must say Natalie was the best in sales I have ever encountered. I had no idea what I wanted or needed and she guided me through the whole process. They completely designed my entire kitchen and it is flawless I couldn’t be happier. 5 stars to them and I highly recommend anyone to utilize their services.
We had Pro Closet come out and redesign and install our master closets and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! Even with all the supply issues everyone is experiencing our project went smoothly and was installed when it was supposed to, we definitely recommend them!
I recently had my master bedroom closet remodeled with Pro Closet Designs. Natalie and her team were great to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the detail to service and my new organized closet!
Everyone at Pro Closets was awesome. They designed a very functional closet to fit our needs. The design uses space effectively and the shelves are great quality. They were quick to design, revise, and then install. About a year later, I needed additional shelves added. Natalie was extremely helpful and got me what I needed quickly. We will definitely use Pro Closet Designs again for our future projects.
We have used Pro Closet designs for many years, from everything from closets to bar space. All three of our closets have been built out, we installed a full laundry room of cabinets and hanging areas, and had a full bar and shelf build-out completed. Jared and Natalie have been nothing but over-the-top helpful and informative with both material options, and timing. Installation is always super easy and low-maintenance - and best of all, QUICK! Cannot recommend Pro Closet enough, and will be using them for more projects in the future.
We used Pro Closet Designs for 3 closets and a laundry room for our lake home and are so happy with the end result! It was the perfect utilization of space done by the design and sales team, and overall installation was just as impressive. Timeline was right on track which is difficult to deliver on given the supply of materials at this time. Communication and overall experience was wonderful — highly recommend working with this team!
We had mudroom cabinetry installed and love it! Our space was a challenge and they were so easy to work and came up with a perfectly functional design. The timeline for installation was on time and the cabinets have been so easy to clean and maintain with 3 small children!
The first time we had this company here everything went fine. We decided to have them back to do some more work. The second time was completely awful. Terribly unorganized, terrible customer service, terrible sales person. They messed up the color on some cabinets that we had done, the doors were a completely different color from the fixture. I was told that this would be a quick fix, that they would put a rush on a new order of doors. They did not. It has taken them well over 2 months to get back to me. The sales person did a terrible job, she was not responsive, she has texted me late at night on a Sunday, she ordered items that I did not want, she measured incorrectly. We also made a coat closet, the doors that were to be on the coat closet were a completely different size. They did nothing to rectify this issue. We had to go with different doors because the correct doors would have taken weeks to come in. I am completely unimpressed with this company. I do not usually leave a bad review, but this is ridiculous and hopefully you can avoid this problem.
Pro Closet is a stellar company and I highly recommend them for your closets and other cabinetry needs. Beginning with the owner, then the designers, and installation crew, the final product always turns out more beautiful and functional than I could have imagined. Thanks Pro Closet for helping me get organized in my closets and delivering my homeowners dream kitchens!
We had our kitchen remodelled and could not be happier with the cabinets that were installed by PCD. Highly recommend their services!
My husband and I ordered cabinets for our kitchen and bathrooms from this company. We paid a decent chunk of change to create our dream home. When the cabinets were unboxed, we noticed defects in the seams. We pointed them out to the installers and they agreed there was an issue and they would get the affected doors replaced for us. It has been 4 months and not only are they refusing to replace the doors, but are trying to say that it’s our fault the doors were damaged (completely untrue). Now they are threatening legal action against us because we held our last payment until the damaged doors were replaced. And they said if we want them replaced we will have to pay again. Meanwhile we’ve had no contact from Jared who filed the legal paperwork or any attempt to correct this situation. They do not stand behind their products!
Tamara and the team at Pro Closet and Design were outstanding when it came to the design, install and follow up of our master bedroom closet system and our built in computer desk and cabinet system. They showed diligence and creativity in meeting our needs for both areas. Appointments were convenient and timely. Everyone we came in contact with was pleasant and professional in their conduct. We could not have asked for a better source for the work. We plan to use them again!
The best two words to describe this company is "Creativity and Dependability"
I contacted Pro Closet Design to have my pantry done. They gave me an appointment within a couple days to start planning my project. Tamara was fantastic! She knew exactly what I wanted and made great recommendations for my project. Within a couple of days I was already viewing my design in 3D and it was just perfect. I was kept informed from beginning to end. Installation was done by a very courteous young man named Zak. He went to work right away and made sure that everything was to my satisfaction when the job was completed.I would not hesitate to recommend Pro Closet Design.
Traffic Flow Between the Kitchen and Other Rooms
The key to a successful design lies in ensuring smooth traffic flow between where you cook and where you dine. A well-placed butler’s pantry minimizes mess and disruptions during meal preparation while maximizing convenience for serving and cleanup.
Our experts carefully analyze the layout of your kitchen and dining areas to determine the best placement for the pantry, ensuring it becomes a seamless extension of your home.
Every inch of your available space matters, and our team takes precise measurements to craft a layout that fits your home perfectly. Whether you have a smaller room to repurpose or a spacious area ready for transformation, we work to create a design that blends practicality with aesthetic appeal.
From contemporary homes with minimalist designs to traditional styles with ornate touches, we ensure your butler’s pantry not only meets your practical needs but also complements of your home’s overall design.
Every butler’s pantry we craft is available with everything to make it the most functional room in your home. Counters and cabinets provide ample workspace for food prep, while open shelving and upper cabinets allow you to display dishes, silver, and glassware in a way that’s both stylish and accessible. Features like a prep sink and a backsplash are practical additions that simplify clean-up and protect your walls.
For an extra touch of sophistication, our designers can integrate unique ceiling along with door styles, like sliding barn doors or glass-paneled options, that tie your butler’s pantry to the rest of your home design. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern pantry with minimalist cabinetry or a rustic retreat with distressed furniture and warm wood finishes, we bring your vision to life.
Custom Design Ideas for Butler’s Pantries
The beauty of a custom butler’s pantry lies in its flexibility to meet your specific needs. For example:
- A contemporary butler’s pantry with marble countertops, minimalist cabinetry, and an elegant backsplash creates a chic, contemporary space.
- A walk-through pantry with a bar sink, small appliances like a microwave, and clever storage areas is ideal for smaller homes where space is at a premium.
- A formal dining room pantry with ornate cabinetry, glass doors for China display, and pendant lighting adds a touch of luxury to your entertaining areas.
- A country-type pantry featuring rustic cabinetry, a butcher block countertop, and vintage baskets offers charm and functionality in equal measure.
No matter your preference, our design experts work with you to create a space that’s not only beautiful but also tailored to your lifestyle.
Organization and Storage Solutions for Your Kitchen and Beyond
A well-organized butler’s pantry is the key to its functionality. We offer innovative solutions like adjustable shelves, labeled baskets, and even a pegboard for hanging utensils. Modern butler’s pantry space can also include Lazy Susans for easy access to spices and other essentials, while wine racks and beverage stations add a touch of sophistication.
Everything in its Place
Our designs also account for small appliances that would otherwise clutter your main kitchen. With dedicated cabinets for microwaves, toasters, and coffee makers, your primary kitchen remains pristine, even during the busiest entertaining sessions. From food items like canned goods to regular pantry staples like flour and sugar, everything has its place in our custom pantries.
Lighting and Electrical Considerations
Lighting plays a pivotal role in creating a butler pantry that’s both useful and inviting. Our team can install under-cabinet lighting for tasks like food preparation, pendant lights or chandeliers for ambiance, and dimmer switches to control the mood. With sufficient outlets and even USB charging ports, your butler’s pantry will be equipped to handle all your electrical needs.
Flooring and Architectural Details
The flooring and architectural elements in a butler’s pantry should complement the rest of your home’s style. From tile or hardwood flooring to decorative trim and molding, we ensure every detail adds to the overall aesthetic. Features like an archway or columns can beautifully define the space, while a skylight or larger window brings in natural light, making the room feel airy and open.
Creating a Butler’s Pantry in Smaller Spaces
For modern homes with limited space, a butler’s pantry can still be a reality. Converting a closet or small room into a butler’s pantry with clever storage options, such as pull-out drawers and open shelves, can make a big impact. Adding a prep sink, marble countertop, and minimalist cabinetry to regular pantry ensures that even a compact pantry is as useful as it is stylish.
Modern and Sleek vs. Rustic and Charming
Whether your taste leans toward modern sleekness or rustic charm, our butler’s pantry designs cater to your preferences.
- For a modern touch, opt for flat-panel cabinetry, quartz countertops, and polished metallic finishes.
- For a country-style appeal, distressed wood cabinetry, butcher block counters, and vintage-inspired hardware bring warmth and character.
Both styles can incorporate elements like glass doors, open shelving, a microwave enclave and carefully chosen lighting – and ceiling height – to tie the pantry into other areas of your home.

Final Touches and Accessories for Your Butler’s Pantry
Once your custom butler’s pantry is complete, it’s time to add the finishing touches to enhance your kitchen even further. Decorative hardware, such as knobs and handles, enhances the cabinetry’s aesthetic.
Perhaps you may like to match everything to an existing island in your kitchen or a rug in your dining room. A rug or textiles can bring in color and texture, while a few plants or a living wall introduce natural elements. Useful additions like a hidden trash can or recycling bin keep the space tidy and practical.
From decorative bowls to glassware displayed behind crystal-clear doors, every accessory plays a role in making your kitchen pantry feel complete.
