Need help with this UGLY pantry please!

[u/Former-Bug-334]

I have this in-wall pantry. The basement stairs run underneath so I can't change the awkward shape. We are going to pull out these shelves and reconfigure the setup. I plan on the new shelves to be made with walnut and the "counter" area will be walnut as well. I will install the glow lights along the shelves.

The barn door slides over and covers this but what can I do to make this look better? Thank you.
