I do have a cabinet pantry, which is pretty, but it simply is not big enough. My husband's grandmother had room for all kinds of stuff in her walk-in pantry, including small appliances, which left her counter tops clear. However, since I do not have that awesome walk-in pantry, I am always trying to find alternatives.
Because we eat most of our meals at home, I need more storage space in my kitchen. I have a whole shelf in my cabinet pantry dedicated just for the spices I use when cooking and another shelf for baking supplies.
I hate to admit it, but I started putting surplus supplies behind our washroom door that normally stays open. That was certainly not an attractive solution, but it did provide space for things that I could not fit in the pantry.
A few weeks ago, something wonderful happened! I came across storage bins with doors and removable lids. The fact that they are collapsible, is a huge bonus. When I do not need them, I can fold them up and store them away.
These storage bins are a lot more attractive than stacked boxes or plastic tubs. Plus, they fit perfectly behind the open door.
Collapsible Storage Bins
Closet Organizers and StorageCheck Price There are 2 sizes available. Based on the measurements of the space behind the door, I opted for a 3-pack of the 8.4 gallon size containers. Since I know what is inside the containers, the dark, clear plastic sides allow me to see inside the boxes if I look closely, but would not be clear enough for guests to see the contents. I can access the contents through the latching doors on the front of each container, or I can lift the lid.
The storage bins have little wheels on each bin for easy moving. Since the bins stack on top of each other, the lids are made with indentations to accommodate the wheels on a second bin. That construction method gives the overall unit of 3 bins more stability. They will not easily slide off of each other when moving. I literally have to pick up the top container to move it from the stack.
These stackable storage bins are the perfect solution for my need for an additional kitchen pantry. Now that I have them, and using them daily, I can easily think of a few other places in my home or vehicles where they would make a wonderful extra storage place.
