Hello everyone,

to those of you who have a pantry: what kind of shelving do you have inside? We wanted to put in the Ikea Boaxel shelving unit or the Ivar shelving, but due to the door they don’t quite fit. What alternatives are you using?

Oh dear, oh dear, and even likes for that. I don’t appreciate anything resembling a junk room in the house, so that means no basement or attic either. I want it to be “nice” everywhere.

I didn’t mean to cause any conflict or tension with my previous comment. Currently, I live with a total of six junk rooms: attic, three basement rooms, garage, and garden shed. My comment was due to feeling overwhelmed by this situation, and I apologize.

I don’t like cluttered storage rooms either. We solved this problem by systematically reducing the number of rooms and simply not moving about 70% of our stuff. After just over six months in our new home, I can say that this "courage" has paid off for us.

I think that's good – we had about 6m³ (7.8 cubic yards) of bulky waste and still had too much stuff. But I am consistently continuing to reduce, and yes, it is worth it.

We’re doing the same, but don’t worry, the stuff will come back.

I'm different. Too much order makes me feel uncomfortable. Clean and clinical are very close to each other.

That’s why we built without a basement.
It feels good to declutter.
