Wardrobe from the pantry
Every woman dreams of a dressing room, in which there will be a place not only for her clothes and shoes, but also for all kinds of accessories. If your apartment has a pantry, then it is possible to fulfill your dream. You can turn a small room into a dressing room in two ways:
- Dismantle the doors, and the partition and order a cupboard according to the size of the existing niche.
- Remake the pantry with your own hands.
The second method is the most time consuming, but having done everything with your own hands, you will be assured of the quality of work and the functionality of the room. So, the self-transformation takes place in several stages:
- disassemble the contents of the pantry;
- we update the covering of walls and ceiling in the future dressing room (you can paint or wallpaper wallpaper);
- distribute the compartments to accommodate things.
The best part is best left for long things. In this part, you can arrange a hanger for the hangers, under which you can place several shelves for shoes. In the upper part you can provide a compartment for hats. All the rest of the space can be evenly filled with shelves for things and drawers for underwear and various trifles (shoe care products, scarves and scarves). It will also be convenient for the ladies to single out one shelf under the bags. And of course, do not forget about the big mirror on the door of the room, it will help to evaluate the whole image and it will be appropriate in the dressing room. A little imagination and you will succeed.
Doors to the pantry
Doors are needed in any room and a pantry is no exception. For it, you can choose as an ordinary swing door from one or two flaps. You can make sliding doors, then the pantry will look more like a closet, rather than in a storage space. If the pantry is used to store products, then the central part of the door can be covered with a special paint that simulates a writing board. On such a door, you can easily make a list of necessary products or write your own wishes about the menu.
Design of a pantry
Even a small pantry can be made functional and successfully used all of its space. For example, as in the following case. At the disposal of the owner was a small space, which could only be correctly planned. In the image to the left, drawers were simply made, in which everything was perfectly fitted.

In the photo on the right, all the space is equipped with shelves, on which everything that is necessary for the household and for cooking is placed. In the central part there are several drawers and a wicker basket in which you can store fruit.
The storage room can be made quite classical. For this, the walls can be painted with light olive paint and from the bottom along the perimeter there are wooden shelves and cabinets for storing food and household utensils. On the walls of the room you can put shelves out of dark wood. The dark shade of the tree and the light facades of the furniture will create a pleasant atmosphere. In this room, home canning and dishes are easy to fit.
And you can design in a more modern and technological design. For example, if you select a blue hue for walls and place metal shelves with wooden shelves along the walls, and plastic containers with a pull-out system at the bottom. The space will be very light and roomy. A little imagination and a desire to do something new, and your pantry will be transformed.
