Who doesn’t want storage, storage, and more storage? The kitchen is always the first room in the home we think of that needs adequate cabinet storage. But our need and options for storage go well beyond the kitchen. In fact, every room in the home can benefit from just the right type and amount of cabinet storage.
When household items and personal belongings are properly organized and stored away, we feel a sense of accomplishment. We eliminate clutter and messiness. We know there’s a place for everything and everything is in its place. We can move about and do things more efficiently, because we no longer have to waste time searching high and low for lost items. All of this neatness can even reduce stress because our living space always looks clean and tidy, and we know right where to go to look for something.
Built-in and free-standing cabinets provide a storage solution for every room.
- Laundry room – Keep laundry supplies within easy reach of the washer and dryer with cabinets that hang over head. Wall units are a great way to store an ironing board.
- Mudroom – Cubby cabinets eliminate chaos in this room where things get easily lost or misplaced. Family members will appreciate having their own cubbies to stow boots, hats, and gloves, as well as hooks to hang outerwear.
- Office – A home office needs more than a desk to function. The right cabinets in the right layout add both function and organization. Printers, charging stations, and other electronics can be placed for ease of accessibility. Office supplies and paper can be organized so you know at a glance what you have. Desktop organizers hold folders, books, and reference materials. And hutches keep photos and other décor visible yet out of the way.
- Family room – Built-in cabinets and shelving in the family room provide endless storage ideas. Kids electronic games and consoles can be tucked away when not in use. Games for family game night can be stacked and stored for easy access. Drawers can hold cards, dice, remote controls, etc. Shelves can hold books, family photos, and decorative items.
- Dining room – Glass-enclosed hutch cabinets with attractive lighting let you showcase crystal and collectibles, while keeping them clean and dust free. Lower cabinets hold extra dishes and serve ware, and holiday table décor.
- Entertainment center – Keep your TV well positioned and cable cords and boxes out
- Butler pantry – If space allows in a hallway or dining area, a butler pantry cabinet is the ideal space for holding serving dishes and platters, extra glasses and fine china. When entertaining, the cabinet also serves as a drink station/bar or for holding extra food items.
- Closets – In the bedroom, closet cabinets and organizers help you keep clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, accessories, and more organized by season and easy to find year round.
- Nook – A nook – with or without a window – is the ideal place for a bench. A bench cabinet serves a dual purpose by allowing storage underneath and cozy seating on top.
- Garage – Tools, sports equipment, gardening tools, automotive supplies, outdoor holiday decorations – the list goes on for storage needs in the garage, and cabinets can be built and sized to meet your needs.
Inspiration and creativity are all you need to come up with a cabinet that serves your every purpose. Today’s cabinets come in a variety of colors and styles, and can be customized with glass, molding and trim, hardware, and other decorative elements.
