Storage rooms are provided in three residential buildings:

• Friendship
• House with a beaver
• Cosmodom

The average area of ​​premises located in the basement floors is from 2.4 to 6.5 square meters. m. They are sold out long before the houses are put into operation, and this is no coincidence. The ability to store things outside the apartment is not only a convenient, but also a practical solution. Cost of 1 sq. m of utility room - about 40 - 60 thousand rubles. For this money, Perm residents buy warm cellars (as storage rooms located outside the apartment are called in Europe) with a separate entrance, a metal door, and electricity. Your property will be reliably protected from cold weather and theft!

Advantages of modern storage rooms

The developer Orso Group is implementing projects with storage rooms due to their popularity and success among buyers. About six months before the completion of the House with the Beaver, almost all the kellers were sold out. Why are storage rooms in new buildings so in demand? There are several obvious reasons:

• Affordable cost (on average 100 - 200 thousand rubles, depending on the area and project);
• Security (premises are equipped with fire alarms);
• Reliability (all pantries are equipped with a metal door).

Kellers are practical and functional. Each storage room is equipped with supply and exhaust ventilation. Storage rooms are suitable for storing seasonal items (skis, sleds, sports equipment, bicycles, car tires), household chemicals, and unclaimed furniture. They can be used as cellars for storing vegetables and homemade preserves.

Buying a storage room in the basement of a house is a much more advantageous solution than organizing any kind of storage system directly in the apartment. Non-residential areas will save valuable square meters of housing. By purchasing real estate in new buildings of the Orso Group, clients can take care of the comfort of their family in a new home by choosing the optimal utility room option, taking into account financial capabilities.

Storage rooms in the basement and access to risers - how to deal with them?

As a rule, residents of a multi-storey building are interested in the question of the ownership of the basements in their houses, and are especially interested in the question of whether it is possible to make storage rooms in the basement of an apartment building. The content of the article

Many property owners in apartment buildings argue that the acquisition of an apartment in a residential building is accompanied by the allocation of space to the new owners from the common property.

How to save money on your pantry?

Purchasing a storage room is always an additional financial cost for new residents. Not everyone is ready for them, because they strive to reduce expenses to a minimum, denying themselves the most necessary things: comfort, convenience, space for life. Compact premises are as accessible as possible, but not everyone can afford them. Do not rush to refuse the purchase - negotiate with your neighbors and purchase the premises together.

And now the common corridors connecting several apartments are cluttered with old furniture, leftover building materials and even unnecessary shoes from neighbors. All kinds of cabinets, chests of drawers and even chests used for “convenient” storage clutter the passage and cause scandals. And, by the way, they violate fire safety rules. These problems will be solved by storerooms available to residents of new buildings in Perm. Having agreed in advance with your neighbor on the procedure for using the storage room, register shared ownership - the convenience is obvious!

• The final document for registering property is the conclusion of Rosreestr on state registration of rights.
• The application is accompanied by the consent of the owners of the apartments in the building in the form of minutes of the meeting, a technical passport from the BTI, and a receipt for payment of the state duty. Important! It will not be possible to completely privatize the basement premises in any case - it is possible to register the right only to the part where there are no communications and no influence on the utility networks of the house.
  
  Features of basements The basement of an apartment building is very convenient for use by residents. Their location and low cost attract commercial organizations for the arrangement of various retail and industrial premises.

Choosing the right pantry

Choosing a storage room is a responsible decision that will affect the further comfort of your stay. There are four important criteria that you should pay attention to:

1. Number of people living in the apartment
2. Having a small child
3. Square footage of the apartment
4. Your hobbies

The larger the family, the more things and unnecessary items it has. For a young couple, a compact keller of 2.5 square meters is enough. m, where you can leave car tires, a couple of bicycles, jars of grandma’s jam. A family with children, especially small ones, requires a spacious utility room of at least 3.5 square meters. m. This is due to the need to safely store the stroller, which takes up about 0.6 - 0.8 square meters. m. The square footage of the apartment affects the number of items that require storage: in spacious apartments there is more furniture that needs to be removed during repairs, it is larger. Many developers offer owners of 3-4-room apartments storage spaces of up to 10-15 square meters. m! The maximum area of ​​the cellar offered by the developer Orso Group in Cosmodom is about 10 m². Keen athletes will definitely need a place to store snowboards, skis, longboards or equipment for hiking and rafting.

Small do-it-yourself storage room in the apartment

10 options for pantry equipment

Whatever pantry design is chosen, it is important to remember that rationalizing its space is impossible without getting rid of unnecessary things.

Solution

The typical layout of apartment buildings makes irrational use of the already small living space. This is especially felt in Khrushchev. A narrow corridor connects small living spaces and ends at 1 sq. m. m. pantry. Bathrooms are too small even to install a modern washing machine, and miniature kitchens rarely allow for a “bigger” refrigerator and just space for two adults to pass each other.

With such an acute lack of space, non-essential items are rapidly filling the formal pantry in a Khrushchev-era building. After which, the balcony and basement are filled with things. This reduces the illumination of the rooms, interferes with access to the balcony or storage of potatoes if things accumulate in the basement. A well-chosen pantry design will help you distribute things and free up space. To create it, you need to determine what in the apartment requires more space.

Location and efficiency

The location of the pantry in the apartment also affects its effectiveness. If the pantry is close to the kitchen, then you can put dishes there even for everyday cooking, and if it’s close to the bathroom, it’s easier to wash it in a machine, although otherwise water can be supplied and drained simply using hoses. You can give up such useful space for an office if you are a very neat person who can refuse a place where you can put so many different items. These ideas will be discussed in more detail below.

Laundry from pantry

A small bathroom is a reason to organize a laundry room right in the closet, as long as it is not too far from the water drain. Also, there will be small baskets for storing clean linen and containers for storing dirty clothes. The pantry doors can be equipped with a towel rack, and additional shelves are perfect for storing powders and conditioners. This design option will save additional meters in the apartment.

Where to store the vacuum cleaner and squeegee?

Placing a vacuum cleaner or mop in the corner of the room after cleaning the apartment is definitely not a better solution for Khrushchev from an aesthetic point of view. The pantry is great for storing detergents, dusty brushes and bulky vacuum cleaners. Hang a couple of hooks on the wall to secure the mop. and on the restroom door there are fabric pockets for storing gloves, brushes and cleaners. So, for 2 sq. m. in the Khrushchev house you can place all the household tools.

Office and utility room

If there is no space for work in the Khrushchev, create it in the pantry. The light color scheme and minimalist design will be an excellent solution when creating an office in the utility room. Lighting is important for work. He needs to be let down. It makes it more convenient to equip a 2 sq. m pantry. Hang a couple of shelves for documents, a plastic board for charts and a cork stand to stick stickers with a deadline and justify the high title of a work office in Khrushchev.

No wardrobe needed

The bedroom is a great place to sleep, and not for a closet with fur coats and boots. The storage room, even at 2 square meters, is larger than most closets, which makes it an excellent dressing room. The design of the pantry should be based on the amount of clothing. The best solution would be two or three rods (pipes), laid from wall to wall, with a number of hangers on them. For hats, you need a special shelf, otherwise they may get wrinkled, or even just fall to the floor. Racks on which you can stack bed linen will come in handy. Lighting will also come in handy. To make the dressing room itself take up less space, its doors can be made sliding, and the door itself can be made in the form of a solid mirror panel. The result will be a built-in wardrobe in the apartment.

Where to store toys?

If children appear in the apartment, their toys appear everywhere. The older the child, the more toys he has that need to be stored somewhere. The best place for this would be a converted pantry.

Boxes for toys, shelves, wallpaper that the child chooses, and rods for children's clothes rationalize 1-2 sq. m of storage space in a Khrushchev-era building.

How to make more space in the kitchen?

The kitchen is an action-packed environment. And a place to hang out. To make the atmosphere even more informal and provide more space for cooking, you need to remove some constraining factors from the pantry. You can free up additional space in the kitchen by moving bulky kitchen cabinets to the pantry. Bulk cereals that are stored in them need to be poured into labeled containers, but it is better to place canned food at the bottom of the pantry - the closer to the floor, the colder it is. A food processor can also go there. Shelves with utensils such as pots and pans can also be moved to the pantry in the apartment.

Universal solutions

Some solutions for different types of pantries are actually good for each. For example, sliding sliding doors, or accordion doors, will be equally reasonable for any storage room design in a Khrushchev-era building. because they free up a lot of space and are more functional than regular doors. Perceive 2 sq. m. pantry as part of the living space and make it a spacious, stylish room, and not a technical room. An apartment in an ordinary Khrushchev building will become spacious if you are not afraid to use a couple of square meters. meters for storing most things.

How not to do it

It is better not to make any decisions. Vacuum cleaners or construction tools will be superfluous in the office, and food products should not be placed with powders and fur coats with children's toys. Sometimes restrictions are the most faithful assistant.

Don't look for ready-made solutions

Shelves can be of different sizes; there is no point in hanging exclusively large ones, as this will take up a lot of space. If the corridor is too small, then a storage room with an area of ​​1-1.5 square meters. m. in the apartment can be corner to save space. The closet can be expanded using a niche in the wall by placing built-in shelves there. If you intend to store heavy outerwear, then it is better to take care of the reliability of the rod fastenings. Sometimes solutions for different storage rooms in an apartment can be combined if you determine in advance a place and a shelf for each item. So, it is quite possible to store outerwear with mops.

Visual style

Since a storage room is a room with an area of ​​1-2 square meters. m. in the apartment, it is better to use light color schemes in interior design, without overloading with heavy visual elements. And in addition to the mirror coating, the doors can be made of painted fabric or translucent glass. If the room still turns out to be small, then functionality can be achieved with folding shelves or hooks. You can hang tools or small repair kits on them.

Due to the layout, some storage rooms in the apartment are very deep. This makes them difficult to use. In such niches, you can install voluminous drawers, each for a separate type of thing. They can fit almost any household utensils, which is convenient.

Non-standard layouts

In some homes, storage rooms are made very deep, which significantly reduces their functionality. This situation can be corrected by dividing the pantry into several mobile pull-out modules and filling each with things of a certain theme.

Creating a design for a small storage room in a Khrushchev-era building is much more difficult than a large and spacious one. Here it is better to draw up a plan for the pantry, a list of things that will be placed in it. But no matter how huge the pantry is, it should not be filled with broken, unnecessary things. Sometimes you just need to throw them away, but there is a pantry for everything else.

DIY pantry design - do it right

Pantry. A mysterious receptacle for the most necessary and not quite useful things that are a pity to throw away. Perhaps over time, someday the items needed in the household will be able to find a use, but the pantry continues to be persistently replenished, gradually turning into a warehouse.

The surest solution to getting rid of storage space in an apartment is to convert the storage room into a small but functionally autonomous room. You can do the arrangement yourself. For example, convert it into a storage area for canned goods and supplies, or arrange a small dressing room. In this case, the design of the storage room depends entirely on the decision of the tenant. And the richer the owner’s imagination, the more interesting the options for solving this issue.

Owners of small-sized Khrushchev-era apartments often resort to alterations in their apartments. In their opinion, freeing up two or three meters will not solve the problem of modest residential meters. It is much more effective to create a wardrobe out of a closet, or even better - to arrange a small dressing room.

The main task of reorganizing a storage room in a small apartment with a narrow long corridor is to create a dressing room in such a way that visually it is almost invisible. But the internal space must be used to the maximum,

says the architect of the Moscow design studio GRASiO, artist and designer Marina Kuzina.

From the architect's point of view, the most acceptable option may be the possibility of creating an additional entrance to the dressing room. If as a result the room turns out to be small, then you should rationally use every centimeter of space by building shelves under the ceiling, and place pockets on the door for small everyday items so that they can always be at hand.

Pantry from the last century

According to standard designs of residential buildings dating back to the late 70s of the last century, each apartment was equipped with utility rooms in the form of storage rooms, mezzanines and built-in wardrobes that were not included in the living area of ​​the premises. It was a storage room in an apartment, the design of which was never taken into account, a kind of piece of space, fenced off by a thin partition from the living area. As a rule, there was a door in the partition. It was a self-contained room without electrical wiring, intended for storing various things. It is this space of the Khrushchev building that can be converted into a modern and functional dressing room.

An interesting option for refurbishment of space in a two-room apartment.

The storage room was located between the living room and the bedroom with a common interior door. Creating an additional doorway to the bedroom, as well as equipping the dressing room with its own door, ensured the creation of a new room. As a result, the rooms turned out to be separate, and the dead end, littered with things, disappeared.

Magical pantry transformations

There are two types of directions on how to organize a pantry. The first method involves installing a built-in wardrobe in the hallway. The work includes dismantling the partition with the door, and installing a wardrobe in the resulting niche along the entire length of the wall opening.

The second method involves a basic renovation of the closet in the apartment, when both the door and the partition are preserved, and the interior space is reconstructed into a dressing room.

The magic lies in the internal refurbishment with your own hands of a space that is of little use in terms of functionality into a comfortable dressing room.

Step one. Space is freed up from old shelves and unnecessary things when waste is thrown into trash containers without regret.

Step two. Cosmetic renovation of the storage room is being carried out. For these purposes, you will need water-based paint for the walls and ceiling that does not stain clothes, several meters of electrical wires for lighting, and linoleum for the floor.

Step three. Measurements are taken to construct the shelving frame and a project is created, where the location of each element is indicated with maximum accuracy.

Wardrobe room projects

All designed wardrobe rooms have one similar feature. This feature lies in the external design, which merges so much with the interior that the entrance to the room becomes unnoticeable. The interior design of the storage room is another matter. Here the imagination of the owner of the Khrushchev-era building runs rampant, but the limitations of space leave their mark. The owner is forced to rationally use every centimeter to realize his idea.

In small areas, it may be more appropriate to create the interior decoration yourself. This is often due to the fact that standard industrial shelving may simply not fit into a pantry converted into a wardrobe. And the interior contents of the dressing room, marked out by the caring hand of the owner, can turn out to be the most functional and convenient room during its operation.

It is important to remember that when creating a dressing room project, the most acceptable option is high racks with their upper base resting on the ceiling.

If, after all, the standard set of internal filling for the dressing room does fit and is conveniently located in the former storage room, then it can be decorated in the most unexpected way. These could be original handles, skillfully made from the most unexpected objects, or unusual lamps, since the interior of the dressing room needs good lighting. Even painting on faceless standard cabinet doors can become an exclusive decoration for the interior decoration of a dressing room.

A short video perfectly demonstrates what dressing rooms look like from the inside:

The benefits of built-in wardrobes

This element of furniture does not particularly need a lengthy explanation of all its advantages. The most important aspect of a built-in wardrobe is the ability to save several tens of centimeters and use them with maximum care. This question is especially relevant for the modest area that a storage room in an apartment in a residential building from the Khrushchev era has.

Remember, nothing saves space more than organizing retractable structures and installing end rods, as well as additional drawers and hooks.

Racks and shelves should ergonomically fill the space, divided into three functional zones in full accordance with clothing attributes:

• Lower zone. Its height from the floor is no more than 80 cm. Designed for storing shoes, some types of clothing and certain types of linen. Here it is advisable to organize a place to store canes and non-folding umbrellas.
• The middle zone, or red line. A visual area designed for storing everyday items. In the red zone there are also various drawers for storing accessories and small clothing paraphernalia.
• Upper zone. Its beginning lies at around 180 cm. As a rule, it is used for storing seasonal items and necessary items of rare use. Also in the upper zone there can be boxes with contents and spare sets of linen.

How to fill a dressing room

The filling and design of the pantry should be very rational. There are basic principles that meet the rules for zoning a dressing room, no matter what size the room reaches:

• The lower tier is reserved for storing shoes.
• The upper tier consists of shelves on which seasonal items are stored.
• The purpose of the middle tier is to place clothing and dress hangers, as well as hats.
• The line between the lower and middle tier is reserved for the arrangement of separate drawers for storing gloves and accessories.
• The purpose of the side shelves is to store everyday items.
• On the floor, a separate section is arranged where umbrellas and canes will be placed.

Storage of things can be organized according to one of two systematization principles:

• by installing rod racks, when the guides and end rod system are attached to the walls, and shelves and drawers are installed directly on them;
• by installing stationary furniture structures - custom-made cabinets, cabinets, chests of drawers, according to the provided designs.

Did you know that to fill a dressing room in a Khrushchev-era building, preference, as a rule, is given to stationary structures.

Modular furniture consisting of shelves, chests of drawers, cabinets, longitudinal and end hangers is used as inexpensive stationary structures.

Depending on the design of the doors, if sliding doors are not provided, their back side can be rationally used. Hooks for handkerchiefs, scarves or ties, as well as pockets for storing clothes brushes and other accessories can be attached to the door.

There are a great many possibilities for decorating the interior space of a dressing room. The main thing is that the space is used rationally, and a specific place is allocated for each thing. Only in this case is it possible to maintain the existing order and prevent cluttering of a small functional room.

However, you can create more than just a dressing room from a closet. Video about the magical transformations of pantries:
