So much stuff, enough room, but where to put and organize?
I have a basement room that leads to a family room. Right now it just functions as a place to put 'stuff'. I also have a very large laundry room with the furnace, water heater, utility sink, electrical box, w/d, deep freezer and a ton of winter clothes storage, games, puzzles, etc.
I was recently given a smaller full size fridge and would like to create some sort of bar or kitchenette to include the fridge, a microwave, coffee maker, etc. Should I place the kitchenette in the laundry room? Should I try to place it under the stairs? Do I move the games/puzzles to the empty room and create some kind of storage there?
In the grand scheme of things this is not a real problem but I welcome the distraction of organizing/re-decorating and finding some purpose for these under/over utilized spaces.
Thanks very much!

hace 5 añosReally hard to comment on this without photos. Any chance you can upload some pix of the spaces in question?

hace 5 añosÚltima modificación: hace 5 añosCall an interior designer and a contractor to the SITE. Seems you deserve a better lit and more inviting laundry than what you now have. A closet would be handy as well. Why diddle with ten thousand answers, no dimensions posted and an unknown budget? Get on site help. A certainty of the games and piles and winter clothing storage amount is best determined before that on site visit. ......if not needed? Out.

hace 5 añosIn the meantime, I'll join in on the mental exercises of thinking things through!
First question: Who will use that kitchenette/bar, and for what?
Will it be a place that people get snacks and drinks while they're hanging out in the basement room?
I would want that kitchenette to feel part of the enjoyable living space--so, I wouldn't necessarily want it shut away in the laundry room.
So I'd put it in the corner of the room that people will spend time in.
(but I'll also say--I would probably decline that fridge--it takes up a lot of space, and I personally wouldn't find it of enough value. If I really was in love with the idea of a kitchenette, I'd get a little bar fridge.)Star-Doors com LLC
hace 5 añosIt is not very clear from photos and floor plan.
If you want to have clean place and store all stuff at the same place - build sliding doors floor till ceiling and put some organizers inside.
It pretty easy and no mess, but pricy. Example on photos - we built mirror doors in this repurposed garage.
I’m not sure about kitchenette, better to invest in nice laundry: organize storage for clothes, storage for detergents and cleaners, maybe a kind of pantry.
