A walk-in is the closet that earns the name when it has a place to sit, a surface to fold on, and a wardrobe run that holds an actual season of clothing. Pannello walk-ins are drawn that way from the start.
Why Pannello
A walk-in, drawn as a room
We start by drawing the room — door swings, mirror placement, island position, sightlines from the bedroom. Then we lay out hanging, drawers, and shoe storage to match the way you actually dress.
- Real materials
- Drawer pulls and shelving fronts visually quiet
- Holds resale value

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
Frequently asked
Questions clients ask before booking.

How small can a walk-in be?
A real walk-in needs at least 5 by 7 feet of usable floor area to support an island. Below that, a U-shaped or two-wall reach-in usually serves better. We map this in the consultation.
