A pantry wall is the easiest place to add real storage to a DC home without giving up living space. Pannello designs pantry walls as a single continuous architectural element — full-height, flush handles, finish that reads as a wall, not a row of cabinets.
Why Pannello
Pantry walls as architecture
Pantry walls are usually the largest single cabinetry element in a kitchen. We treat them as architecture — full-height panels with integrated reveals, concealed lighting, and pocket doors that open onto a working prep counter.
- Floor-to-ceiling adds storage without floor area
- Hides countertop appliances behind closed doors
- Reads as architecture, not as cabinetry

From clients & designers
What people say after living with their Pannello cabinetry.
"Pannello drew our Georgetown kitchen the way an architect would — full elevations, real material samples, no salesperson with a tablet. The chimney chase that we had been trying to hide for ten years is now the most elegant element in the room."
Lauren O.
Homeowner · Georgetown
"The Pannello team turned around our Dupont condo kitchen in four weeks of fabrication and four days of install. Clean, on time, and the finish quality matched what we were specifying for clients in our own design practice."
Marc D.
Interior Designer · Dupont Circle
"We had eight contractors quote our McLean closet program. Pannello was the only one that drew it before quoting it. The drawings became the spec, and what got delivered matched the drawings exactly."
Sarah K.
Homeowner · McLean

Can I have a coffee station behind pocket doors?
Yes — this is one of the most-requested Pannello details. Pocket doors open back into the cabinet, exposing a 24- or 30-inch counter with outlets, water line, and integrated trash.
