Smart Cabinet Storage Ideas

This cabinet gives you shelves and doors; the best of both worlds.


Cabinets are in many ways one of the most ideal forms of storage. Cabinets allow you to store items in an organized fashion, yet, at the same time, conceal them from others, maintaining your privacy. The doors installed on the front of most cabinets prevent a room from looking cluttered, despite how many things you might have crammed inside the cabinet. A range of cabinet styles abound to fit your various needs. Does this Spark an idea?


Trunk or Low Chest


A trunk or a low chest is one of the smartest storage cabinets to integrate into your home because it serves a double-duty function. For example, use a trunk or chest to store old knickknacks, books or magazines or your kids' toys. When shut, the chest can function as a coffee or accent table. On the other hand, keep a low cabinet or chest of drawers by the front door as an inconspicuous place to store your shoes. When shut, you can sit on the chest, or use it as a bench for putting on or taking off your shoes, making it slightly quicker to get in or out of the house.


Shelves With Doors


Shelves that have doors or other types of panels are like narrow cabinets in and of themselves. They allow you to store ugly files or other office items that are an eyesore to a room. Shelves allow you to keep all your papers, bills and other items nearby and spread them out without contributing to a cluttered or messy room image overall. If you are naturally neat, spring for shelves with glass or frosted glass panels for a more elegant, traditional look.


Armoires


Armoires aren't just for clothes anymore although they are a smart solution for homes with tiny closets. Armoires are versatile, self-standing storage cabinets that come with a range of versatile insides. For example, use one that has a closet rod and shelves to store out-of-season clothes and shoes. On the other hand, use one with just shelves and drawers to store a television that you don't want displayed all the time and DVDs that you'd prefer to keep hidden. Armoires are functional, yet many of them have decorative carvings or other features that make them special.
