Looks like kallax is worth checking out. I didn't realize you could put cabinet doors on so that might work well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-options#post-2841623 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 14:24:49 +0000 looch 2841623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kallax also has doors that you can install, if you don't want to deal with bins.</p> <p>I would do a storage closet though, with just some deep shelves and a hanging rack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-options#post-2841593 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 13:01:50 +0000 Mrs D 2841593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the IKEA kallax shelves. They can be open or used with totes for a concealed look. They come in lots of configurations.</p> <p>I also like the Trofast series at IKEA. Very versatile. </p> <p>We basically have Trofast or Kallax in almost every room in our house! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-options#post-2841592 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 13:00:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 2841592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a kallax unit, 4x4, attached on top of two cabinets (meant to be above the fridge cabinets at ikea). There is a ton of storage in there- though it’s not always the easiest to keep clean and organized. It’s in our playroom now but when we were in our condo, the bottom was toys and in the upper bins we kept extra stuff like the Saran Wrap and paper towels and whatever else. (This is a photo from in the condo when we had pretty much no other storage). </p> [attach=2307/18/pdz8p2.338x600.0E54EB1F-28BC-4327-9081-E83B11C9F085.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storage-options#post-2841586 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 12:33:19 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2841586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved from our relatively small house into a VERY small cabin on my parents property. It's not permanent, but will likely be our home for the next year or two. We have done a pretty good job fitting most of our stuff in and keeping it reasonably uncluttered, but as we are here longer of course, things accumulate and we just have no extra space. </p> <p>So...we have this space where my desk currently sits. It's on a back wall of the living room area with no windows. I never use the desk except as a place to put things, so it just gets piles with papers and random baby stuff and looks cluttered. I'm thinking of giving the desk back to my parents and putting in storage on that wall. It's a pretty big space and fairly useless for anything else. I would like mostly closed storage with maybe a few open shelves. I'm thinking the lower sections can be used for toys and the uppers for papers/extra diapers/household supplies/etc. Basically everything that is cluttering our space now. </p> <p>Does anyone have specific recommendations of storage furniture that might work well? The space is about 75" wide and the shelves/cabinets could go as high as 80 inches if we took the currently installed shelf down. We could go probably 14-16" deep. I'm attaching a photo, taken before anything was straightened up, so don't judge!! It's a catch-all area right now. </p> [attach=5595/18/pdz7sk.450x600.20180824_103536.jpg]
