A Very Versatile Closet System

WE LOVE ELFA! Wait…I think we’ve mentioned that before. There really is no closet system that we love more. Whenever I see a closet, craft area or heck, any old space, I try to reimagine it designed with elfa and sigh with joy. My local pharmacists have no idea how efficient their workspace just got in my head. Since you can customize elfa to fit your space and individual needs, the limits are virtually endless. We’ve compiled some inspirational pics below to get your heart thudding too!

A place for everything and everything in its place. This holds true for pantries too. Whether you have a walk-in space or a small closet, elfa has a solution for you. Ventilated shelves help you line up those cans, bottles and boxes but you can catch any spills that might happen by adding very inexpensive shelf liners from elfa and even remove the whole piece for a quick wipe down. Have a coffee or tea addiction? How about a nice slide out drawer to easily choose your morning pick me up? Or a drawer with quick and healthy snacks for your kids to grab? You can even corral all of your spices on the inside of a door. See, virtually endless!

Go one step further if you are a master baker and have the space. How about a whole pantry just for your baking supplies? Mixing bowls, rolling pins and cookie cutters all have their designated zone right where you need them, anytime. A utility rack that has hooks, shelves and container options can be the perfect spot to hold measuring cups and spoons. How about a little shelf to display those pretty cake decorations in clear jars? My mouth is watering, how about yours!?

Whatever your hobby is, elfa can handle all of your crafting storage needs. Imagine being able to find those googly eyes before the glue dries or being able to meticulously organize all of your scrapbook paper by color. What if you could wrap a present and tie it with ribbon without having to unwrap the ribbon from all of your other ribbon? That same utility rack from the baking pantry can help organize all those tiny little beads, string and tools if you craft your own jewelry.

Housework is never fun when you need to dig through cabinets for cleaning products or all of your mops and brooms come flying out at you when you try to get just one. I love everything about this setup from elfa. You can have a laundry center with space for sorting, hanging and folding all in one space. Your cleaning supplies can be within easy reach and have their own little spot, never to be battled for again. I would do a little jig every time I walked into this space if it were mine. Even if it was for the mop!

Oh right, elfa can also be used in your clothing closets! From reach-in, to walk-in, to entire rooms, you can design the closet of your dreams. Shoe racks and glide out drawers keep your favorite obsession neat and orderly. Shelf dividers keep your sweaters from merging into your t-shirts and keep your clutches standing upright. Jewelry trays fit right into the drawers to keep all of your baubles organized. Ties and belts can be hung from gliding racks and pulled into view when needed.
These aren’t even all the spaces you could organize. Game closets, kids closets, basements, garages, you name it and we’ve done it! I could go on and on about the magic that is elfa but it’s better to go see it in person. It’s on sale right now at The Container Store and we’d love to help you design the space of your dreams!
