Hello everyone,
we are currently thinking about the most practical room layout on the ground floor.
In the architect’s very first draft, a pantry in the kitchen and an additional storage room on the ground floor were planned. Now we are reconsidering whether we really need them and what we would store there.
For your information – we are planning a large kitchen with plenty of cabinets, including tall upper cabinets. We are also planning a basement, which will provide sufficient storage space.
At the moment, I am thinking of storing the vacuum cleaner, cleaning supplies, beverage crates, and toilet paper on the ground floor for convenience. Raclette set, fondue pots, large soup pots etc. could also go in the basement.
Currently, I have food supplies stored in a 90cm (35 inch) pull-out drawer in the kitchen, which works well for us (two adults, one toddler, one baby). If I add another drawer like this, it should be enough for the future. I usually shop almost daily and don’t want to keep large stocks of things like pasta (I keep oils and spices in an upper cabinet).
What do you store in a storage room on the ground floor? What else do you keep in a separate pantry?
My idea now is to remove the storage room and instead install a large, ceiling-high cleaning and storage cabinet in the relatively big study room (about 15m2 (160 sq ft), which will not be used for work for many hours daily).
I think this could save me an extra room with a door and possibly additional hallway space.
Looking forward to your experiences, comments, and ideas.
