Slatwalls are walls made with grooves at spaced apart intervals, usually containing inserts useful for displays and storage. These walls are most commonly found in retail locations; however, there are other places where this type of structure can offer a unique space saving utility. Have you ever thought of using this type of space saver in your kitchen pantry, closet or even the garage? Other uses may vary based on your individual home.
If you are worried about them looking tacky, get creative and you may be surprised at how many ways you can come up with to save space while keeping the style of your home fresh and up to date. (Installation is simple but keep in mind that you may need to hire someone to install the wall itself).
The kitchen pantry may be the best place to hide a slatwall and may also provide one of the most productive and efficient usage scenarios in the home. Use the wall to adjust shelf height based on groceries and other products using the space. Shelves can be installed into the wall at intervals ranging from 6 to 16 inches. You may also purchase accessory hooks for utensils, keys and even aprons.
Space 2: An In Home Clothes or Toy Closet
A clothes, shoes or coat closet can be another good place to hide this type of wall and still get plenty of usage from it. On these shelves you can store shoes, clothes, blankets, towels and even organization baskets or crates. For hats you can purchase a special hat hanging accessory. Waterfall brackets, hooks and a scarecrow shaped accessory, with arms extending in all directions, can be used to store ties, scarves, suspenders and even purses or other bags. This type of wall can also help you to organize hanger rods at different heights so that your closet space is used most efficiently.
This type of wall also provides a great way to help children learn organization and responsibility by providing them with spaces to store their toys. This type of storage unit is easy to re adjust making it easy and versatile when moving. As the child grows the shelves and other storage may be moved up and around to fit the growing needs of the child.
