2. Open shelves with identical containers.
This solution not only looks fantastic,but also allows the shelving to be as roomy as possible if its height is from the floor to the ceiling itself, and the containers are matched exactly according to the size of the shelves. Details in this case play an important role. Given the fact that all boxes are the same, it is important to take care of their labeling and consistency in advance. For example, you can label their contents by sticking on each small photographs, labels or pieces of paper with inscriptions.
3. Mini-library

4. Replacing the buffet in the dining room with more spacious furniture
This option is perfect for those caseswhen the dinner table is sometimes used not only for its intended purpose (for example, as a written one). In this case, the main function of the cabinet in the dining room should not be neglected, leaving room for cutlery, dinner sets, towels, etc. With an open-plan dining area with a small amount of empty seats, it may seem strange to allocate an entire wall for storing things. However, a wardrobe that is correctly selected in size and appearance can accommodate everything you need: from dishes to textiles, unlike, for example, from a table — when placed in this area.
