Storage ideas without cabinets

These unusual designs are suitable not only for those who want to hide their wealth, but also for those who seek to unload a small room from trifles. As you know, an abundance of souvenirs, wires and other small items clutters up the interior, which makes the room seem even cramped.

Shelves with a secret do not attract attention: inside you can put a TV remote control, jewelry or hide documents from children. The constructions have different opening mechanisms and are roll-out, folding and removable, and can also be part of the cabinet or be hung separately. Decorations are usually kept upstairs to decorate the decor and (distract attention).

Such shelves are suitable not only for the living room, but also for the hallway: this is a great way to store keys, glasses and a business card holder.

Living room. Hidden gadgets

The numerous devices that surround us everywhere do not always decorate the room. If you want to take a break from them, you should find a special place to hide them. In a small apartment, various electronic devices overload the situation, and a special drawer or drop-down box can be designed to mask them.

A socket hidden inside will allow you to charge your gadgets without spoiling the view of the room.

The printer and copier should also not be kept in sight: this is impractical and clutters the room. For devices, you can use cabinets, cabinets or pull-out shelves, as in the photo.

The TV is usually hidden behind facades or sliding modules disguised as a picture: so the screen is hidden and the furnishings are decorated.

Kitchen. Secret shelves and drawers

In the kitchen, especially compact, most of the devices should be kept in closed cabinets: this way less dust accumulates on them, and the atmosphere seems more tidy. We recommend using every centimeter in order to use the area as ergonomically as possible.

For household appliances, you can create a separate "garage" by using part countertops - it will not be visible behind the facades.

For small appliances, spices, packages, for bottles and jars, it is worth taking a drawer in a narrow wall: the space involved here is small, and the benefits from it are large.Do not forget about the plinths: it is a great option for storing trays, trays and caps.

Kitchen. Roomy seats

Hidden storage can also be organized in the dining area, if you put instead of chairs and stools unusual seats: a special bench with a lifting lid or a furniture corner. IN loft style wooden boxes will be appropriate. And if you're striving for originality, put a chest in the kitchen and cover with a soft pillow.

Bedroom. Drawers in bed

Rational use of the bedroom space will allow a bed with built-in drawers downstairs. Inside you can keep books, bags, clothes or bedding.

The most convenient designs are roll-out. Ideal if they will be removed to remove dust accumulated under the bed.

The capacity of the boxes directly depends on the height of the bed. Massive podium bed can completely replace the cabinet: this is especially appropriate in small-sized and studio apartmentswhere unclutteredness is valued above all else.

Bedroom. Shelves inside the headboard

If the space under bed I don't want to fill, you can use the headboard: both ready-made structures with built-in drawers and free-standing narrow pedestals are sold. It is very convenient to store things in special compartments - they do not get dusty and are always at hand.

In addition to books, you can store night cream, small decorative pillows, change of bedding or a blanket inside.

Bathroom. Hidden shelves

Often the space under the bathroom is undeservedly empty, but a functional screen will easily unload cabinets and open shelveshiding household stuff. The design can be ordered from craftsmen, made by hand, or you can purchase a ready-made display cabinet with sliding doors.

It is important that the ventilation in the bathroom is in good order and dampness does not accumulate in the room, otherwise storage under the bathroom will become impossible.

Bathroom. Washing machine

So that the massive device does not violate the aesthetics of the bathroom, it can be hidden inside a specially prepared box-cabinet. As a material, MDF with a durable laminated surface, wood treated with a water-repellent agent, and also plastic are usually used.

To install a washing machine in a hidden box, you should measure its dimensions and provide for a supply of space for communications.

Hidden household items

Various household helpers (ironing board, clothes dryer, vacuum cleaner and mop) do not decorate any interior. Hidden storage systems come in handy in these cases as well:

• for the ironing board, a special shallow cabinet is successfully used, disguised as a high mirror,
• and instead of a free-standing dryer, a built-in one is often used: wall-mounted or in the form of a drawer.

Secret Cabinet

This kind of workspace looks very compact and fits perfectly into any interior. A mini-cabinet hidden behind the facades should be equipped with shelves and a folding tabletop, and for greater convenience - with a socket and lighting.

The advantage of a cabinet in a closet is its conciseness: after work or study, the doors simply close, and all the little things remain inside.

If you want the chair to retract inward, choose a backless model.

The main advantage of hidden storage systems is that they make the interior solid, and also fill free space that would otherwise not be used.
