1 Use space on the door
Do not leave valuable square centimeters, because usually in storerooms and so little. Use the space on the door - as they made the owners of this apartment. In a small storeroom, many products were placed, because all the space was used in the maximum.

2 Put retractable boxes
Improvise with the filling of your storeroom and instead of the usual open shelves, put the drawers. We have repeatedly said that the retractable mechanisms help to significantly optimize storage and make it more convenient - you can easily get to the distant corners and you do not have to get all the contents of the shelf.
By the way, the retractable boxes can be bought throughout the famous IKEA store. So how did the owners of this apartment. They used Pax Wardrobe Components for His Storeroom. Agree, a convenient solution?

3 improvise with suspended storage systems

Suspended metal holder for bath accessories now serves as shelves for vegetables. There you can also put spices, keep bottles with water or juices or fold the stack of sachets with snacks.

4 Do not leave empty space from the shelves to the door
If you have a shallow shelves and between them and the door still have free space, do not lose it. Take an example from the owners of this apartment, which used with the benefit of every square centimeter of their pantry. On the empty sections of the wall they joined the narrow shelves. Overall boxes with products there will not fit, but jars and bags with spices, as well as small bottles - yes.

5 Make the bottom shelves from wooden boxes
At the bottom of the storeroom you need to organize space as convenient as possible to quickly find the right thing. Most often, there are hygienic supplies or vegetables, which is not a place in the refrigerator (for example, onions, carrots or potatoes).
Inspiration with an example of this family - they have adapted to storage ordinary wooden boxes, having traveled wheels to them. To make storage not only comfortable, but also aesthetic, boxes can be painted. In these, you can store not only food and hygiene, but also tools, and home textiles.

6 Take care of transparent containers
Buy the same containers, preferably transparent. So you will immediately see that they are stored, even if you do not make stickers with names. It is better to choose container sets - it is convenient to store them on each other and thus saving space. Also do not forget about high and narrow containers. They take less space on the shelf - it is convenient to store pasta, cereals and other bulk products.

7 Put the rotating shelves in the corner
If you have an angular pantry - put the shelves in the corner with a rotating mechanism. So you can use more useful space and get the products or things that are stored in the far corner.

8 Do not forget about the baskets
Despite the fact that we recommended to store products in transparent containers, you shouldn't forget about baskets and boxes too. It is convenient to store small bags, canned cans, tea or candy boxes. Make inscriptions on baskets to quickly find the needed bank.

Where and how to organize a storage room?
And now, a few tips for those who have no useful surcharge in the apartment planning. Where to organize a storage room so that it is convenient?
- Use niches. If there is a niche in your apartment, feel free to hang inside the shelf and close it with the doors. Without redevelopment and high costs you will have excellent pantry.
- Adjust a dead end in the corridor. It often happens if the corridor is long. Feel a dead-end corner of the corridor with plasterboard and organize a storage room there.
- Make a storage room in the garage. Why not? There will be convenient to keep canned food, compotes and other billets for the winter. Of course, the garage should be enough overall and well ventilated so that the dampness does not affect the state of the products.
- Adjust the rack. The rack for books of the famous Swedish brand can be closed by doors and get a small pantry without redevelopment and large investments. The owner of this apartment bought a rack for the books of the Billy series and the doors of the Oxberg series. That's what happened.
