How to equip a pantry
Surely in many apartments there is a pantry or closet. How are they commonly used? Of course, they collect garbage and old trash, which is a pity to throw away. So how do you turn a pantry into a truly useful place?
First you need to throw out all the trash by cleaning the pantry. For some, this is the most difficult step. But still, no matter how hard it was, it’s worth overcoming yourself. Moreover, many people believe that old things interfere with life, slow it down. Why not “disperse” the wheel of life by throwing out the trash?
How to equip a pantry?
First of all, you need to decide how the new pantry will be used. There are a lot of options. It all depends only on the desire and needs, as well as on the size of a particular pantry. Here are just a few options:
- Study. A computer desk, an armchair and several paper shelves - that's all that is needed for a good office in the pantry. A great way to retire from home and do work in peace and quiet.
- Home library. The pantry is just perfect for private reading. You just need to install bookshelves or cabinets and a soft comfortable chair. A small coffee table does not hurt. In the same bookcases you can store documents, home photo archives and more.
- Pantry in the true sense of the word. Several racks, and a pantry is ready for storing homemade blanks! Very convenient, since all the pickles are in sight. It will be very easy to sort and select banks.
- A mini-workshop will probably be the most interesting option. You can "optimize" for any activity: from small carpentry to clothing. By the way, there is an interesting idea of placing tools. They can be stored on the back of the door! It saves space!
- Wardrobe. What is convenient for this particular way of using the pantry? If you use modern racks, hangers and clothes racks, you get a big wardrobe. It is much more capacious than standard sliding wardrobes. Lingerie, clothes and shoes - all in one place. And you can get dressed right there!
Depending on the chosen option, the pantry is arranged differently. If this is an office, then it makes sense to post, re-glue the wallpaper and update the floors. If it’s just a storage system for useful items, just install shelves.
Pantry door
Perhaps one of the most important issues. What door should I put in order to save space and open conveniently? The simplest answer is, of course, a sliding door. Like in a closet. Installing it is quite simple even with your own hands. Saves usable space, but costs more than a regular door. The folding accordion door looks more interesting. They take up much less space and open almost silently. But they are quite short-lived. And you can just close the pantry with curtains - cheap and cheerful!
In just a few steps, you can turn a cluttered pantry into a wonderful workspace! Why not get started right now? Read about how to decorate other rooms. here.
