If you are really handy, I would consider completely removing the entire closet and replacing it with a purchased pantry cabinet (if you can find one that fits your space), or make your own. We made our own kitchen cabinet boxes and fitted them with Bloom pullout hardware for full extension pull-out drawers.. Our whole kitchen is now mostly drawers. The cabinet fronts were made by a local cabinet maker. Maybe you could remove the old closet door and frame, and make drywall corners to finish the new opening...then measure and make (or have a local cabinet maker make it) a new cabinet box with Bloom pullouts to fit the space. Get the cabinet maker make the drawer fronts too. The box could then be slid into place. I don’t think you would need any side fillers, but you could research that, or maybe someone on this site would know that answer.

I think there are two types of pull out hardware to be aware of...one kind can be installed after the cabinet is built, but these are not an efficient use of drawer space as they require several inches on each side to Install—wastes too much interior drawer space for my liking. The other kind must be installed as the cabinet box is being created, but the shelf space is much more efficient. Full extension pullouts are a must for the most efficient use of space.

There might be information to help you in the following thread. I'm not sure, but I thought I'd post it anyway as it might give you other ideas as well.

Thread: Pantry photos/ pics of pantries

Suggestions above are excellent. Rolling wire shelves may be a cheaper way to get full extension. Buy one and see if it is sturdy enough to handle big cans, and has fine enough mesh to keep small things from falling out. Many ideas shown on https://www.kitchensource.com/pantry-organizers/d/pullout/

I recently did a kitchen reno and removed the pantry closet and replaced with pantry cabinet. The inside width of the closet was 24". Once we started demo and measured the space we captured over 10" of space between framing of the closet and finding a few extra inches on one side which housed ductwork. End result was a custom pantry measuring 35" wide. Pantry as 2 adjustable shelves, 2 pull outs which you can also adjust height and 3 drawers. I ended up with so much room I could not believe the difference. Note I did custom cabinets so the size fits the space. But if you remove the closet you will be amazed how much room framing takes. I also noticed you have a cabinet to the side of the closet. The second picture shows show it will look. Note the top cabinet at the coffee station is 14" deep instead of the standard 12" as I have two large items on each side. Good luck as you will make the best decision for your space, Also shop around for cabinet sizes as you don't need to do custom. I did it as my kitchen is not very big and I wanted to maximize the storage space. For standard sizes I found 18" wide to be standard so it you end up with say 36" you could use to standard sizes.

Final and note to the right of refrigerator we still have 5".

_assuming_ that the current closet door header is not load bearing you could re-frame to increase the opening by 3" per side OR to the size of a cabinet you purchase.

- remove the trim

- remove drywall

- insert double 2 x 4's on each side and header

- replace and patch the drywall

- replace and finish the trim (unless it's on the pre-constructed cabinet)

The suggestion above is excellent - use a pre- constructed new cabinet or build a cabinet with roll-out drawers and then insert it into the new space. Closet walls probably aren't square or plumb so sliding a cabinet in makes sense.

It's possible to construct the cabinet

Rev A Shelf

Can get pullouts that attach to shelves & come out through existing doors. For the 3" on both sides can still store items on sides that don't need to be pulled out.

While at it add lighting inside

I'm going to suggest you check out the prices on Shelf-O-Matic. When I did the price comparison with ShelfGenie, the Shelf-o-Matic was 1/2 the price. I've used them on over 5 projects and find they are super responsive and would even send installers if I needed (I didn't). It's a great alternative for DIYers. Valerie
