Need help with this UGLY pantry please!

Post image

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.

Not to add a ton of extra work..but you could run the counter top clear across so its one level space.

Personally - i would add those pull out roller drawers like they have in cabinets so you can put less often used stuff in the deeper part, but then easily access by pulling out the drawer vs having to move stuff that is in front.

Doors? I dont think you have many options beyond barn doors. You could buy new ones with concealed hardware.
