Arrangement of the pantry

However, if you have a large family or are actively involved in conservation, or just know how to save money, then it is quite possible that you will need a pantry. And in this case, it is better to know how to properly and rationally equip it, so that in the future you do not have to be upset because it is uncomfortable. It may seem that a pantry can simply be called any room where you send food that does not require particularly low temperatures to be stored. But in fact, very special requirements are put forward for the pantry, even such a list of nuances is not always applicable to the living room. After all, this is a place where not only canned food is stored, but also sugar, canned food for animals, dry food, vegetable oil, cereals, sugar, flour and the like.

So, first of all, you should pay attention to where you plan to equip the pantry. Ideally, this room should be located next to the kitchen, as kitchen items are stored in it. At the same time, since this is actually a non-residential room, you do not need to worry about large footage and the presence of windows. On the other hand, it is very important to ensure good ventilation. This is important because poor ventilation will "please" you with the presence of increased dampness, the rapid appearance and growth of the fungus, which is detrimental to most products. If it is not possible to provide a decent ventilation system for a given room, then the only way out is constant ventilation. If the room has windows, put insect nets on them, otherwise not very pleasant neighbors will settle in the cereals.

Next, you need to decide on what kind of coating you need to provide the floor and walls. For flooring, ceramic tiles are the best option. As in the case of a bathroom, it is easily cleaned of dirt, does not suffer from moisture, is relatively easy to clean of the fungus and does not allow it to “take root”, as is the case with parquet, laminate and other less stable coatings. It is better to paint the walls, and the motivation here is similar - ease of washing, resistance to moisture, long service life. When choosing a paint, pay attention to latex paints.

Furniture for the pantry needs the simplest - shelves. Moreover, far from the elegant carved shelves that are placed in the bedrooms, but simple, roomy and very strong. If you are using wooden shelves, then make sure that they are varnished or stained, in order to avoid putrefactive processes, the dominance of insects and pollution. Products on the shelves also need to be placed wisely - all the heaviest at the bottom, it is better to send the lighter ones up. In addition, you need to constantly monitor the expiration date and quality of products.

In general, the pantry cannot be called a vital room, but it may well solve the issue of the location of food supplies.
