A new house, room by room
What each room of a new house needs
Main bedroom closet
Long and short hanging, a stack of shelves for folded clothes, and shoe space. A walk-in gets shelving on more than one wall.
Other bedroom closets
A shelf and rod across the width, or double hanging on one side for a child or a guest room.
Linen closet
Shelves from low to high for towels, sheets and supplies.
Front door closet
Coats on one rod, a shelf over them for hats and gloves, and open floor for shoes coming in from outside.
Pantry
Shelf levels spaced for the food and appliances it will hold.
Laundry room and garage
A shelf over the washer and dryer, and garage wall shelving placed clear of the door track.
Storage or bonus rooms
A storage room under the stairs or a bonus room over the garage can take shelving on its open walls. Tell us the ceiling height where it slopes, so the shelves fit under it.
What changes the size of a new-house job
The number of closets, and how many of them are walk-ins, makes the biggest difference. Adding the garage, a storage room or a second pantry wall adds to the job as well.
The type of shelving matters too. A house can be all fixed, all adjustable, or fixed in the bedrooms and adjustable in the pantry and linen closet. Tell us the mix you want and it is quoted that way, as one price for the house.
The pantry
Planning pantry shelves in Blountstown kitchens
Start at the bottom
The lowest level holds the heaviest things: a stand mixer, a case of drinks, a bag of dog food. Leave enough height for the tallest of them.
Middle levels for daily food
The shelves between your waist and your eyes hold what you use every day, where you can see it without bending or reaching.
Close shelves for cans
Cans and jars are short, so shelves for them can be closer together and give you more levels on the same wall.
Tall gaps for boxes
Cereal, pasta and crackers need a taller gap. Measure the tallest box and add room to tip it out.
The top shelf
Extras, party supplies and seasonal baking go up high, where they are out of the way.
Pantry shapes
Shelving each kind of pantry
The pantry in the plan decides how many walls the shelving can use.
Walk-in pantry
Shelves on the side walls and the back wall, with the middle left open to stand in. Deeper shelves on the back wall hold bulk goods.
Reach-in pantry closet
Full-width shelves from low to high behind the door, using the whole width of the closet.
Corner pantry
An angled door opens onto two short walls. Shelves on both, meeting in the back corner, use the full space.
Pantry in the laundry room
Some plans put food storage beside the washer. Keep food shelves apart from detergent and cleaning supplies.
Pantry details
Doors, lights and corners in a pantry
The door
In a walk-in pantry, shelving on the hinge-side wall starts past the swing of the door, so the door opens all the way.
The light
A ceiling light belongs over the open floor. The top shelf stays below it, so the light reaches every level.
Room for a step stool
A bit of open floor by the door lets a folding stool stand there for the top shelf.
Deep corners
Where two runs of shelving meet, the back corner is hard to reach. It suits things used a few times a year.
Unknowns at build time
Shelving for owners you have not met
On a house built to sell, some things the shelving depends on are not known until the owners arrive.
The washer
The buyers may bring a top-loading or a front-loading machine. Setting the laundry shelf high enough for a raised top-loader lid covers both.
The garage
Nobody knows yet what the garage will hold. A run on the back wall is useful to anyone, and the side walls can wait for the owners.
Building for an owner you know
When the buyer is known, their choices go into the plan: how their clothes hang, how they cook, what the garage will hold. Pass along anything the owners have said about their storage, such as a large shoe collection, a home office in a bedroom or a second freezer in the garage. Each of those changes a room.
Shelving a house that is already lived in
In a lived-in house, only the rooms being shelved need to be cleared: the old shelves, the closet floor and anything leaning on the walls. The rest of the house stays as it is. If a closet or pantry has old shelving you want replaced, say what bothers you about it now, so the new layout fixes it.
What to send from Blountstown
Builders: the address or lot and the name of the site contact. If you build in Blountstown more than once, a note on how you set up the last house helps us match it. Homeowners: the address and the days of the week that suit you for the work.
