Pantry Makeover in Hyde Park, Austin

This pantry makeover on in Hyde Park started with a common issue we see in many older Austin homes — open shelving that looked cluttered and didn’t offer enough usable storage.

The goal was simple: create a clean, organized space that feels built-in and easy to use every day.
 
We removed the old shelving and installed custom cabinetry using a combination of European walnut upper cabinets and black European-style shaker base cabinets. This mix added warmth while keeping the space grounded and modern.
 
To improve durability and function, we added a quartzite countertop. It gives the homeowner a solid prep surface and holds up well over time, even with daily use. If you’re planning a similar upgrade, take a look at our kitchen countertop installation services.

The backsplash became a standout detail. We used green marble tile to bring in texture and a natural look that works well with both the walnut tones and the darker cabinetry. You can learn more about our tile installation work for kitchens and pantries.
 
For the flooring, large-format porcelain tile was installed to keep the space clean and easy to maintain — a practical choice for high-traffic kitchen and pantry areas in Austin homes.
 
We also finished the walls with a Level 5 smooth finish, giving everything a clean, seamless look under natural and artificial light.
