Ideas for effectively using the space behind the door.

Storing spices in the kitchen

A narrow rack installed behind the kitchen door will not take up much space – a depth of 10 centimeters is enough for this. If you have a lot of spices, you can make a shelf from floor to ceiling.

Just be sure to provide the shelves with small sides so that the jars do not fall out if the door is accidentally opened with force.

Towel corner in the bathroom

There is never enough space in the bathroom, so it will be useful to occupy the niche behind the door by installing a flat towel dryer or by hanging hooks. You can install a shelf for tubes and jars above them. It is better to provide the shelf with a low side.

Storing kitchen accessories

You can place various potholders, towels, spatulas, ladles, whisks, etc. behind the kitchen door. The hooks can be arranged in several levels, you can even store not very large dishes there, for example, frying pans.

A place for an ironing board in the bedroom

In principle, an ironing board is often placed behind the door, but this is not always convenient and safe. It is at an angle and often falls when the door is closed.

It is necessary to install special hooks-fasteners so that the board is pressed tightly to the wall. The cover should be clean and neat.

Narrow shoe system in the hallway

For some reason, we decided that shoes should always be stored at the bottom on a low shelf or a small nightstand. It’s time to say goodbye to prejudices and install a narrow high rack or fasteners in the space behind the door. An improvised shoe cabinet can be equipped with transparent doors.

Bookshelf in a child’s room

A child’s room usually does not have cabinets with an extensive library, because it is not a study. But you still need to put the existing children’s books and textbooks in place.

To do this, it is enough to install a shallow rack – 20-25 centimeters will be enough. If there is less space there, you can make the shelves yourself, and place the books frontally against the wall. This will take up no more than 10 centimeters.

A place for fashion accessories

Handbags, hats, jewelry – there are never too many of them, and this collection tends to multiply rapidly after each sales season. The space behind the door is the perfect place to store accessories.

Place hooks or narrow shelves, and you will always see a huge selection of accessories before you go out.

Corner shelves for jewelry in the bedroom

Not everyone has a spacious storage system in their bedroom; it requires a lot of space, and it is inconvenient to store jewelry and small items in a bedside table.

You can install small corner shelves for small items behind the door in the bedroom, and hooks for hanging jewelry underneath them. You can even fit a narrow secretary-box to store your favorite jewelry in it.

Replacing the sideboard behind the door

Living rooms decorated in a modern style sometimes do not have a wall or sideboard, and storing various accessories and other small items in drawers or in plain sight is not very convenient. A great place is the space behind the door.

A shallow shelf to the ceiling can accommodate almost everything that could be stored in the sideboard. At the same time, it will not catch the eye of guests, but will be accessible to you.

Storing linen behind the door

Sometimes there is so little space in the bathroom that there is no room for a laundry basket. You can hang wicker boxes or flat textile bags behind the door. The laundry will not be conspicuous at the entrance, and you will have some free space.

The above examples show how unfairly underestimated the space behind the door is. The main thing is to show your imagination and you can come up with many more ideas for using the empty space so that everything lies in its place, and the interior pleases the eye.
