Smart Storage Starts Here: Custom Pantry Shelves by G&M Craftsman Cabinets
Transform Your Kitchen Storage with Custom Solutions
Custom pantry shelving offers a custom storage solution designed specifically for your space and needs. Unlike standard shelving, custom options maximise every inch of available space while complementing your kitchen's aesthetics.
"A well-organised pantry can transform your kitchen's functionality, making meal prep and storage more efficient." - Better Homes & Gardens
What is Custom Pantry Shelving?
- Definition: Made-to-measure shelving units designed to fit your exact pantry dimensions
- Types: Pull-out shelves, adjustable shelving, built-in cabinets, corner solutions
- Materials: MDF, plywood, thermally-fused laminate, solid wood
- Features: Adjustable heights, specialised compartments, integrated lighting
Custom pantry shelving differs from standard options by providing precise measurements, quality materials, and personalised features that work with your specific storage needs rather than forcing you to adapt to pre-made solutions.
The average custom pantry offers a return on investment (ROI) of 50-75%, making it both a practical and financially sound home improvement. In fact, 83% of home buyers specifically want a walk-in pantry when house hunting.
Whether you're looking to maximise a small reach-in pantry or design a spacious walk-in storage area, custom shelving transforms chaotic storage into an organised system that saves time, reduces waste, and makes cooking more enjoyable.
Why Custom Pantry Shelving Beats Standard Shelves
When it comes to kitchen storage, not all shelving solutions deliver the same results. Custom pantry shelving stands head and shoulders above standard, off-the-shelf options, changing not just your kitchen space but your entire cooking experience.
Maximising Every Centimetre
Standard pantry shelves come with predetermined dimensions that rarely fit your space perfectly. Those awkward gaps and wasted corners? They're costing you valuable storage space. Our custom solutions are designed to your exact measurements, utilising every available centimetre—including those tricky corners and unusual nooks that standard shelving simply can't accommodate.
By implementing full-height storage that reaches from floor to ceiling, many of our Sunshine Coast clients are pleasantly surprised to find they can gain up to 65% more storage capacity. That vertical space that's currently going unused? We'll help you turn it into practical storage that makes a real difference in your daily life.

Superior Return on Investment
Adding custom pantry shelving isn't just about immediate convenience—it's a smart investment in your home's future. With an impressive ROI of 50-75%, custom pantries rank among the most valuable kitchen upgrades available. For Sunshine Coast homeowners, this is particularly relevant as kitchen functionality continues to be highly prized in our local property market.
Adjustability for Changing Needs
Life changes, and so do your storage needs. Unlike fixed standard shelves, our quality custom solutions include adjustable shelf heights that accommodate everything from small spice jars to large appliances. This flexibility ensures your pantry evolves with your family's needs over time, rather than becoming outdated within a few years.
The Pull-Out Revolution
Perhaps the most dramatic improvement comes from incorporating pull-out shelving systems. Real-world studies show that adding custom pull-out shelves can increase usable storage by over 50% in many pantries. These clever sliding mechanisms bring items at the back of deep shelves into easy reach, eliminating the frustration of forgotten food and expired products hiding in dark corners.
Ergonomic Benefits
Standard shelving often forces you to bend awkwardly, stretch uncomfortably, or balance precariously on step stools. Our custom solutions are designed with ergonomics in mind, placing frequently used items at easy-reach heights and creating specialised zones for different categories of goods. This thoughtful organisation not only saves precious time but reduces physical strain during meal preparation.
As we often share with our clients along the Sunshine Coast, the true value of custom pantry shelving isn't measured just in the extra space—it's in how that space transforms your daily routine, making cooking more efficient and grocery shopping more strategic. When everything has its place and every place is perfectly designed for your needs, you'll wonder how you ever managed with standard shelving.
Planning & Design Essentials
Creating the perfect custom pantry shelving system begins long before the first measurement is taken. Proper planning ensures your new pantry will serve your specific needs for years to come.
Audit Your Inventory
Before designing your pantry, we recommend conducting a thorough inventory audit. Take everything out of your current pantry and group similar items together. This exercise reveals:
- Which items you use most frequently
- Categories that need the most space
- Special storage requirements (tall bottles, bulky appliances)
- Items that should be stored at eye level vs. lower or higher shelves
This information becomes invaluable when determining shelf heights, depths, and specialised storage features.
Precise Measurements Matter
For truly custom shelving, precise measurements are non-negotiable. We take detailed measurements at multiple heights—few pantries are perfectly square, especially in older Sunshine Coast homes.
Standard pantry shelf depths typically range from 30-40cm, but custom solutions allow for variations:
- Bottom shelves: 38cm deep for large items and appliances
- Middle shelves: 30cm deep for everyday items
- Upper shelves: 28cm deep for easier visibility and access
Style Cohesion with Your Kitchen
Your pantry shouldn't feel disconnected from the rest of your kitchen. At G&M Craftsman Cabinets, we ensure your custom pantry shelving complements your kitchen's aesthetic through:
- Matching cabinet finishes and colours
- Coordinating hardware (handles, hinges)
- Consistent design elements (trim styles, edge profiles)
- Complementary lighting solutions
This cohesive approach creates a seamless transition between spaces and lifts the overall look of your kitchen.
More info about design process
Our design process is thorough and detailed. From the budgeting and consulting stage, through planning, manufacturing and installation, we approach each project with honesty and transparency. Our trained consultants help you plan your project and source the right hardware and finishes to match your goals, ensuring your pantry will function beautifully before it's created.
Choosing Custom Pantry Shelving for Reach-In vs Walk-In Spaces
The design approach varies significantly depending on whether you're working with a reach-in or walk-in pantry.
Reach-In Pantry Solutions
Reach-in pantries (typically 60-75cm wide by 50-60cm deep) require strategic planning to maximise their limited footprint:
- Pull-out systems are essential for accessing items at the back
- Door-mounted racks utilise otherwise wasted space
- Vertical dividers keep baking sheets and cutting boards organised
- Adjustable shelving allows for reconfiguration as needs change
For reach-in pantries, we often recommend single-wall configurations with varying shelf depths—deeper at the bottom, shallower at eye level for better visibility.
Walk-In Pantry Designs
Walk-in pantries (usually 1.5m × 1.5m or larger) offer more design flexibility:
- U-shaped configurations maximise storage on three walls
- Corner solutions with rotating systems eliminate wasted space
- Centre islands or countertops can provide additional work surfaces
- Multiple zones can be created for different categories (baking, snacks, appliances)
In walk-in pantries, traffic flow becomes an important consideration. We typically recommend a minimum of 90cm clearance for comfortable movement.
Ventilation Considerations
Proper ventilation prevents humidity buildup and preserves food freshness. High-end walk-in pantries benefit from wall or ceiling ventilation, while smaller reach-in pantries might use door grills or slightly shorter doors to allow airflow.
By carefully considering these planning elements, your custom pantry shelving will not only meet your current needs but adapt to future requirements as well.
Materials & Hardware: Building for a Lifetime
The longevity and functionality of your custom pantry shelving depend significantly on the materials and hardware chosen. At G&M Craftsman Cabinets, we select only premium materials suited to Queensland's unique climate conditions.
Core Materials
The foundation of quality pantry shelving starts with the right substrate:
MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard): Offers a smooth finish ideal for painting, with excellent dimensional stability. Our MDF is moisture-resistant, making it suitable for Queensland's humid climate.
Plywood: Provides superior strength and screw-holding capability. We use marine-grade plywood for areas with higher moisture exposure.
Thermally-Fused Laminate (TFL): These panels feature a scratch-resistant surface that's easy to clean—perfect for busy pantries. The thermally-fused process creates a seamless bond that resists peeling even in humid conditions.
All our materials are CARB2 compliant and environmentally responsible, made with recycled or repurposed wood fibre when possible.
Premium Hardware That Lasts
The hardware components are where quality truly shines in daily use. We partner exclusively with world-class hardware providers:
Blum: Their soft-close drawer systems and hinges offer whisper-quiet operation and tested durability for 100,000+ cycles.
Häfele: Specialists in innovative storage solutions, their pull-out systems transform deep pantry spaces into accessible storage.
Hettich: Their precision drawer runners ensure smooth operation even under heavy loads.
Furnware Dorset, Titus Plus, and Kethy: Provide distinctive handles and decorative hardware that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.
For countertop sections within pantries, we often recommend Silestone surfaces, which offer exceptional stain resistance—critical for food preparation areas.
Finishes for Queensland Conditions
The Sunshine Coast's climate presents unique challenges for cabinetry. Our finishes are selected specifically to withstand:
- Higher humidity levels
- Temperature fluctuations
- UV exposure (particularly important for pantries near windows)
We apply multiple layers of UV-cured coatings that are harder than traditional catalysed acrylic finishes, ensuring your pantry maintains its beauty for decades.
By combining these premium materials and hardware components, we create custom pantry shelving that not only looks beautiful on installation day but continues to function flawlessly for generations.
Installation Path: DIY vs Professional Craftsmanship
When it comes to bringing your custom pantry shelving dreams to life, you'll face an important fork in the road: do you roll up your sleeves and tackle it yourself, or bring in skilled craftsmen? Both paths have their merits, and the right choice depends on your skills, budget, and the complexity of your vision.
The DIY Approach
For those handy homeowners with woodworking experience and a well-stocked tool shed, creating your own pantry shelving can be incredibly rewarding – not to mention easier on the wallet.
The financial benefits are clear: professional installation typically costs around $20 per square foot in labour alone. On a modest 2m × 2m walk-in pantry, handling the installation yourself can cut your project costs nearly in half, as total costs (including materials) typically range from $20-$40 per square foot.
Before you commit to the DIY path, though, it's worth an honest assessment of what you're getting into. You'll need basic tools like a table saw, drill, level, and measuring equipment at minimum. For truly professional-looking results, specialised tools like a pocket-hole jig will make a world of difference in joint quality.
Even for experienced weekend warriors, a basic pantry installation demands at least a full weekend, while more complex designs with custom features might stretch across several weekends. And perhaps most importantly, you'll need a solid understanding of load ratings and proper anchoring techniques – after all, those shelves will hold precious cargo!
If you're feeling confident about your DIY skills, there are excellent resources available to guide you through the process. How to Make DIY Pull Out Pantry Shelves and Drawers offers a helpful starting point for creating one of the most useful pantry features.
When to Call in the Pros
While DIY has its appeal, there are certain situations where professional installation simply makes more sense. At G&M Craftsman Cabinets, we've seen many DIY projects that eventually required our expertise to rectify issues.
Complex layouts present significant challenges even for experienced DIYers. If your pantry features unusual dimensions, awkward corners, or architectural quirks, our craftsmen bring solutions honed through decades of experience with challenging spaces.
Premium hardware installation requires precision that's difficult to achieve without specialised knowledge. Those beautiful soft-close drawers and pull-out systems that make pantries so functional? Even minor misalignments during installation can lead to binding drawers or uneven gaps that diminish both function and appearance.
If your pantry design includes stone benchtops or specialty materials like Silestone, professional installation prevents costly mistakes. These materials require specialised handling techniques and equipment that most homeowners simply don't have access to.
Modern pantries often incorporate integrated features like LED lighting, electrical outlets, or custom ventilation systems. These elements require professional knowledge of building codes and safety requirements – areas where DIY approaches can lead to complications or even safety hazards.
Perhaps most compelling is the warranty factor. When you choose professional installation from G&M Craftsman Cabinets, your project comes with comprehensive workmanship warranties. This peace of mind simply isn't available with DIY projects, where any issues that arise are yours alone to solve.
The G&M Craftsman Difference
Our installation process goes well beyond simply mounting shelves. Our tradespeople aren't just installers – they're true craftsmen whose skills have been honed through generations of experience. We approach each project with the same care and attention to detail we'd give our own homes.
With 100 years of combined experience serving the Sunshine Coast area, our team brings best expertise to your custom pantry shelving project. We take pride in creating solutions that not only look beautiful on installation day but continue functioning flawlessly for decades to come.
Our six-step process ensures quality at every stage, from initial planning through to ongoing maintenance. When you choose G&M Craftsman Cabinets, you're not just getting shelves – you're investing in craftsmanship that transforms how you use your kitchen every day.
Smart Features & Accessories That Lift Your Pantry
What transforms an ordinary storage space into a pantry that makes you smile every time you open the door? It's those thoughtful details and clever additions that lift custom pantry shelving from merely functional to genuinely delightful.
Pull-Out Innovations
The humble pull-out system might be the single most transformative addition to modern pantries. These clever mechanisms bring items at the back of deep shelves forward, eliminating those frustrating "what's hiding back there?" moments that lead to food waste and duplicate purchases.
We've seen how our clients' eyes light up when they first experience full-extension drawer slides from premium providers like Blum and Häfele. These quality systems extend completely, giving you access to every last centimetre of storage space – no more forgotten items languishing in dark corners!
Wire baskets have become particular favourites among our Sunshine Coast clients, offering perfect homes for fruits, vegetables, and packaged goods. They improve visibility while allowing air to circulate, keeping produce fresher longer in our warm Queensland climate.
For smaller items like spices and canned goods, tiered pull-outs create that "stadium seating" effect where everything remains visible at a glance. It's remarkable how these thoughtful additions can increase usable storage by over 50% in many pantry renovations.
Specialised Storage Zones
Creating dedicated zones for different categories isn't just satisfying – it transforms how you cook and shop.
Your spice collection deserves better than being crammed into a drawer or hidden at the back of a shelf. Angled pull-out racks or door-mounted systems keep your flavour arsenal visible and instantly accessible when inspiration strikes.
For wine enthusiasts, we can incorporate custom racks that not only protect your collection with proper bottle orientation but also make a beautiful display statement. Pair this with a small Silestone countertop section, and you've created a perfect mini-bar station within your pantry.
Appliance garages have become especially popular – these dedicated spaces with power outlets keep countertop appliances accessible but neatly tucked away when not in use. No more cluttered countertops or awkward lifting of heavy mixers from high cabinets!
For our baking enthusiasts, we love creating dedicated stations with vertical dividers for baking sheets paired with nearby ingredient storage. There's something deeply satisfying about having everything for your Sunday baking session within arm's reach.
Integrated Lighting Systems
Good lighting doesn't just help you find things – it transforms the entire pantry experience. LED strip lighting installed under shelves eliminates shadows and highlights contents beautifully. These energy-efficient options provide even illumination without generating heat that could affect food storage.
For the ultimate in convenience, motion-activated systems offer hands-free illumination when you enter the pantry – particularly valuable when you're juggling an armful of groceries. Many of our clients opt for adjustable brightness options that allow for either ambient lighting or task-focused illumination depending on the need.
Premium Surface Additions
Strategic work surfaces within your pantry create valuable zones for quick food prep or unpacking groceries. A small Silestone mini-countertop provides a heat and stain-resistant landing zone that's perfect for setting down shopping bags or preparing a quick snack.
For those who appreciate the warmth of natural materials, butcher block sections offer ideal spots for quick food preparation, adding a touch of organic texture to your pantry design.
Innovative Hardware Solutions
The hardware you select dramatically impacts your daily pantry experience. Soft-close mechanisms from quality providers like Blum and Hettich ensure drawers and doors close quietly and smoothly – no more slamming or pinched fingers!
For those moments when your hands are full (which seems to be most of the time in a busy kitchen), touch-to-open systems provide an neat solution. A gentle nudge with your elbow or knee, and your drawer glides open effortlessly.
As your storage needs evolve over time, adjustable shelf brackets from providers like Häfele allow for easy reconfiguration without calling in the professionals. This flexibility ensures your pantry grows and changes alongside your family.
At G&M Craftsman Cabinets, we're committed to sourcing only the finest hardware from trusted providers including Furnware Dorset, Blum, Titus Plus, Kethy, Hettich, and Häfele. These premium components aren't just about looking good – they ensure your pantry functions flawlessly for decades to come.
When thoughtfully incorporated, these smart features transform your custom pantry shelving from a simple storage area into the heart of your kitchen workflow. It becomes a carefully orchestrated system that not only improves your daily routine but genuinely makes cooking and meal planning a pleasure rather than a chore.
Care, Maintenance & Home Value
Your custom pantry shelving isn't just a beautiful addition to your home—it's an investment that deserves proper care. With the right maintenance routine, your pantry will remain functional and attractive for decades while continuing to boost your property's value.
Simple Cleaning Routines
We've carefully selected materials for your pantry that combine beauty with practicality. Keeping them looking their best is surprisingly simple:
For laminate surfaces, a quick wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent is all you need. There's no need for harsh chemicals—in fact, abrasive cleaners can damage the finish, so it's best to keep things gentle.
If you've chosen painted MDF for your pantry, a soft microfibre cloth slightly dampened with water handles most cleaning tasks beautifully. For those occasional sticky spots, a gentle all-purpose cleaner will do the trick without harming the finish.
Silestone countertops in your pantry offer fantastic resistance to stains, but it's still best to wipe spills promptly. For everyday cleaning, a pH-balanced cleaner keeps these premium surfaces looking their best year after year.
Humidity Control in Queensland Kitchens
Here on the Sunshine Coast, our unique climate creates specific challenges for pantry maintenance. The good news? A few simple strategies make all the difference:
Proper ventilation is your first line of defence against moisture build-up. Make sure your pantry has adequate air circulation—this might mean leaving the door ajar occasionally or ensuring ventilation slots are unobstructed.
During our particularly humid months, small pantry-sized dehumidifiers can be worth their weight in gold. These compact units help maintain the perfect environment for both your food items and your cabinetry.
Don't forget to check door seals annually. Well-maintained weather stripping helps keep humidity at appropriate levels while also preventing unwanted guests like insects from finding their way into your food storage.
Preventative Measures
A bit of prevention goes a remarkably long way in extending your pantry's lifespan:
Shelf liners do double duty—they protect your beautiful surfaces from spills while making cleanup a breeze when accidents happen. We recommend washable, non-slip options that stay firmly in place even when you're rearranging items.
Those premium hardware components from Blum, Häfele, and our other trusted providers are built to last, but they benefit from occasional attention. Take a moment every few months to tighten any loose screws and adjust hinges if needed.
While our shelves are built to handle impressive loads, proper weight distribution extends their service life. Rather than concentrating heavy items in one area, spread the weight evenly across your shelving system.
Maintaining Home Value
Your pantry is more than just a convenience—it's a significant contributor to your home's market appeal:
The numbers speak for themselves: custom pantries offer an impressive return on investment between 50-75%, making them one of the smartest kitchen upgrades you can choose.
When it comes time to sell, you'll appreciate knowing that 83% of home buyers specifically want a walk-in pantry. In the competitive Sunshine Coast property market, this feature can help your home stand out from the crowd.
We recommend keeping documentation of materials, finishes, and hardware used in your pantry. This information becomes valuable when selling your home, demonstrating the quality and thoughtfulness behind the installation.
G&M's 6-Step Service Programme

We start with an initial consultation to truly understand your specific needs and space, followed by meticulous planning and design to create the perfect solution.

With proper care and our ongoing support, your custom pantry shelving will remain a source of pride and functionality in your home for decades to come—beautiful, practical, and valuable in equal measure.
Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Pantry Shelving
What does custom pantry shelving cost?
When it comes to investing in custom pantry shelving, we understand that budget considerations are top of mind for most homeowners. While every project is unique, there are some helpful guidelines to consider:
For smaller reach-in pantries, most of our Sunshine Coast clients invest between $1,100-$1,500 for a complete solution. Walk-in pantries, with their larger footprint and additional storage opportunities, typically range from $2,000-$3,500 depending on size and complexity.
Several factors influence your investment level. The materials you select—from practical thermally-fused laminate to premium solid timber—will impact the final cost. Similarly, the features you choose make a difference; pull-out systems and integrated lighting add tremendous functionality but require additional craftsmanship.
At G&M Craftsman Cabinets, we take pride in our transparent approach to pricing. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss various options that align with both your vision and budget, ensuring you receive exceptional value without compromising on quality.
Which materials last longest in humid Queensland kitchens?
Living on the Sunshine Coast means contending with our unique climate challenges—particularly humidity that can wreak havoc on standard cabinetry. After decades of experience in this environment, we've identified the most durable materials for local conditions.
Marine-grade plywood stands head and shoulders above standard options, with its exceptional resistance to moisture fluctuations. For painted finishes, we recommend our moisture-resistant MDF, specially formulated to maintain structural integrity despite Queensland's humidity levels.
Many of our clients opt for thermally-fused laminate surfaces, which create an effective moisture barrier while offering excellent value. For those seeking premium protection, our UV-cured finishes provide an industrial-strength barrier against both humidity and the inevitable kitchen spills.
Hardware selection is equally important in our coastal environment. We exclusively partner with trusted providers like Blum, Häfele, and Hettich for corrosion-resistant hinges, drawer runners and mechanisms that continue to operate smoothly year after year, regardless of seasonal humidity changes.
Every material we select has been thoroughly tested in Queensland conditions—because beautiful pantry shelving should remain functional for decades, not just years.
Will custom pantry shelving boost my home's resale value?
If you're wondering whether custom pantry shelving is a worthwhile investment for your property's value, the answer is a resounding yes! Among kitchen improvements, custom pantries consistently deliver exceptional returns.
The numbers tell a compelling story: well-designed pantry systems typically return between 50-75% of their cost when you sell your home. This impressive ROI outperforms many other home upgrades, making pantry improvements a financially sound decision.
Beyond the raw numbers, buyer preference plays a significant role. Research from the National Association of Home Builders reveals that 83% of home buyers specifically prioritise walk-in pantries when house hunting. This overwhelming preference means homes with quality pantry solutions often sell faster and command better prices.
This trend is particularly pronounced on the Sunshine Coast, where our indoor-outdoor lifestyle centres around entertaining and cooking. Local real estate agents consistently report that organised, accessible kitchen storage ranks among the top features that impress potential buyers during viewings.
While kitchen trends come and go, the appeal of thoughtfully designed storage remains constant. When prospective buyers open your pantry doors to find a beautifully organised, custom-crafted storage system that's still functioning perfectly years after installation, it sends a powerful message about your home's overall quality and maintenance.
