The kitchen is a room in which a woman spends a lot of time. Therefore, her desire is to create maximum coziness, comfort and convenience in the arrangement of furniture. A prerequisite for the arrangement of the premises is the creation of a free movement zone. Bulky, voluminous furniture can be placed in kitchens with large areas. More often these are houses with individual construction plans. Most standard apartments do not have large kitchen areas. For them, compact multifunctional furniture would be an ideal option. This includes a kitchen column-pencil case.

Cabinet column
A pencil case for a kitchen is also called a column. Furniture is manufactured and offered for sale in different types.
The most common distinction is based on the number of doors:
- Single leaf;
- Bivalve. Such column cabinets for the kitchen can have a symmetrical arrangement of doors, or they can vary in their number and size. The staggered arrangement of the niches looks original.
Another option is based on the door closing mechanism:
- Ordinary, swing;
- Sliding; Retractable.
Pull-out shelves are convenient for storing food and metal utensils: pots, pans, ladles.
The pull-out shelf is good because it is an integral part of the set, which means it is in style with the main furniture
Another difference between pencil cases is the material they are made of.
- The most durable option is natural wood. It's an expensive but practical choice;
- Speakers for the kitchen made of MDF. The material is budget-friendly; with careful use, the kitchen pencil case will last quite a long time. It is important to check the methods and mechanisms for securing doors, walls and shelves;
- Pencil case for the kitchen made of chipboard. When choosing such a material, it is necessary to consider installing additional stiffeners so that the niches can withstand the weight of kitchen utensils and household appliances.
The design of the doors also changes:
- Closed;
- Open;
- Glass.
A pencil case for a kitchen with originally designed doors completely changes the look of the set. Kitchen utensils and household utensils can be hidden behind closed, dense door fronts. Behind the glass doors - display beautiful objects, interesting things: tea sets, sets of commemorative mugs and wine glasses. There is a clock on the glass doors.
A separate type of furniture is corner. A floor-mounted kitchen cabinet for the kitchen fits into a space that often remains unused and empty.
A floor-mounted kitchen cabinet often serves as an island to create a dining table
In addition to providing the housewife with new containers, it will make the kitchen stylish and change the space. The design of the corner cabinet allows you to install rotating shelves and rotating drawers. What is needed extremely rarely will go inside the kitchen column, other items will be located nearby.
A special place is occupied by pencil case furniture with built-in appliances. The development of different equipment makes the task of kitchen set designers more difficult. Many people want everything in the kitchen.
Tip: order a narrow pencil case that will help solve this problem. The location of the dishwasher is possible at the bottom of the pencil case. Moreover, the facade remains furniture, it becomes the door of the kitchen assistant. You don’t have to touch the appliance doors, then remove the furniture façade and install the appliances harmoniously as part of the set.
Housewives often order a cabinet for a built-in oven. Volumetric, bulky equipment will harmoniously fit into the set, becoming part of it. Registration is carried out at the request of the client. The cabinet under the oven may have an open niche; it is possible to close the oven with a furniture door.
It is easy to select appliances built into the kitchen with a pencil case in a single color scheme.
The kitchen set should be part of the overall design
Kinds
Here you can group this furniture by location, size and installation option. There is a classic corner cabinet, and there are also wall-mounted samples. If in the second case you can immediately think about how the overall composition with a washbasin and bedside table will look, then in the first case, saving space and high functionality are at the forefront.
Always try to look through as many options as possible to accurately determine your taste preferences, not forgetting the size of your specific bathtub.
Pencil cases come in wall and floor types. In a suspended state, it becomes easier to clean the entire surrounding space, but floor models are naturally easier to install.
The cabinets vary noticeably in size from each other. The height rarely exceeds two meters, and the depth is on average 30 centimeters. The main advances are in width. It all depends on your calculations and preferences.
What are pencil cases for?
The tasks that a pencil case in the kitchen can perform are varied:
- Storing dishes. A pencil case with shelves for the kitchen allows you to conveniently arrange sets of dishes. Additional services for guests that are not constantly used will be in an accessible place. Moreover, there can be as many shelves in the column for dishes in the kitchen as the housewife needs. They can be installed (changed) according to the height and other dimensions of the dishes.
- Storage of household appliances. Gradually, the amount of necessary equipment on the farm increases: electrical and manual devices. Not all of them are installed statically, for permanent use. Part is rarely required: before holidays, special events. They will be conveniently located in the pencil case. Most often, housewives leave them in commercial packages. They fit compactly on a kitchen cabinet shelf and can be removed and used if necessary. Meat grinders, juicers, blenders will not disrupt the design of the kitchen; they are hidden, but at the right time they will be at hand at the hostess. When making a floor cabinet for kitchen speakers to order, they calculate in advance what equipment will be placed in the pencil case. Selects a niche for a coffee maker, microwave and other frequently used appliances. They do not interfere and do not take up extra space on the table. Wires and electrical sockets will be hidden in the depths of the furniture.
- Storage of preserved foodstuffs. In the lower parts of the pencil case it is convenient to place narrow roll-out niches for bottles. This could be a wine bar, regular liquids for preparing sushi, various oils and spices. The pencil case will save space in the refrigerator.
- Storing kitchen sanitary products. A thrifty housewife always accumulates a large amount of detergents for washing dishes, countertops, appliances, and sinks. All of them can be hidden in the lower narrow part of the pencil case, by designing either a narrow drawer or a separate compartment for this. Napkins, towels, and aprons will lie neatly there.
- Closing pipes and other plumbing fixtures. The height of the cabinet from floor to ceiling allows you to hide pipes running along the wall and meters (for example, a household gas sensor). This is possible due to the option of partial absence of the rear wall in the right places. The pencil case allows you to maintain a unified style of the kitchen, hide all the eyeliner and other necessary technical equipment.
A storage system in the form of a sliding shelf is a very convenient option.
Appearance
Designers pay great attention to appearance. Choose a cabinet after all the repair work has been carried out, then it will definitely fit into your intricate interior. But this is not the most important thing. Focus on the quality of materials. This is always noticeable to the naked eye if everything is made of something very cheap and easily broken.
Look at the places where the front part goes into the back part, whether everything is even and smooth there. You should not take something where the seams are visible without close attention. This should not just happen in humidified areas.
High-quality and reliable fittings will allow you to use the cabinet for a long time. Strength is ensured by metal fittings with good thickness.
Take a closer look at the legs too. If they are missing, then this is definitely not an option for the bathroom. The bottom should be slightly torn off the floor to prevent premature soaking.
This is especially important in rooms where the floors are too crooked.
Dimensions of kitchen cabinets
The main advantage of furniture is size. It can be optimally narrow both in depth and width. The original design of the furniture allows you to save space. Due to the internal shelves, the narrow pencil case in the kitchen is quite spacious. Dimensions are selected according to the size of the room. Pencil cases are the easiest way to change the appearance of your kitchen furniture set. They are narrow, so they can create harmony within the entire set. The main thing is to think about the harmony of combining all the details into one complex.
Advantages
The most important thing is that it can be installed even in the smallest bathrooms, where it can be difficult for a person to walk through. This type of cabinet helps everyone who loves a lot of small things. Everything your heart desires will fit there.
It is also important that the floor cabinet for the bathroom is almost completely protected from the penetration of any moisture. Bathroom furniture is always made from special materials with an additional protection system, which increases the overall final cost.
Water resistance allows you to completely protect the things that are located inside. Remember also about the design of the new cabinet. It should fit well into your space.
