Clutter Cabinets
Problem
Where, instead of on the refrigerator, can the client post the grocery list, appointment reminders, and the kid’s soccer schedule?
Solution
We like to use something we call a “clutter concealing cabinet,” a shallow unit with storage and even a bulletin board inside. The bulletin board can be on the back wall of the cabinet or on the inside face of one of the doors.
Phone books can be stored in a vertical rack, and pens and office supplies can be stored on shallow shelves.
If your client’s daughter is the reincarnation of Rembrandt, you can provide a display board covered with fabric elsewhere for the art. The client can pin things up inside the frame, and it will look like a planned piece of artwork. A less expensive option is to use homasote for the bulletin board and paint it to match the wall.
