Pantry in the apartment: recommendations for the location and filling

It is not necessary to abandon the pantry, even if it is possible to increase another room. In fact, this area is incredibly functional — you can store the vacuum cleaner and a MOP, conservation and outerwear, skis and sled, scooter and even a children's bike, and building tools and old magazines.





Just do not forget that the internal "structure" of the closet should allow you to organize all of these items — don't aimlessly put all the trash that is found no place in the apartment. If the thing you don't need, it is better to throw or to give to someone, and leave only what you need.

Pantry in spacious wardrobes along with a dressing room





Pantry in a separate room

2. Dead end corridor — it often happens, if the corridor is long and elongated. A dead end is fenced off with plasterboard and closes the door. It turns out the area a couple of square meters that you can use as a pantry.

3. Above the door is a good option only if there is no other. After all, to use such space under the ceiling is not very convenient. Most often, such a storage stand in the kitchen and fit for the storage of domestic preparations.

4. In the closet — if one of your rooms has a wardrobe, that's part of it and you can pay for storage.

5. In one of the rooms — I understand that you have to sacrifice a few square meters.
