Pull-out cabinet behind the refrigerator. Kitchen drawer cabinet. Organize a real minibar from an old sideboard
One of the most big problems small apartments are the same small kitchens. But it has long been known that a person spends a quarter of the time spent at home. The kitchen is the place in the house where you need to place a lot of useful little things, and also in such a way that they do not interfere, and at the same time are always at hand. We suggest equipping a mini-pantry behind the refrigerator.
Consider getting some space for that much-needed pantry without cluttering the space. Even an approximately 12-centimeter gap, empty between the wall and the refrigerator, will do. Having equipped a mini-pantry there, you can easily pull out the cabinet and take everything you need, and then just as easily push it back.
Step 1: Selection of materials
We will need:
wooden board 61cm x 122cm x 2cm – 1 piece,
wooden board 13cm x 1.22m x 1.5cm – 1 piece,
wooden board 61cm x 10cm x 1.5cm – 6 pieces,
wooden board for the base 61cm x 10cm x 2cm – 1 piece,
handle and screws or self-tapping screws for fastening
2 furniture wheels (7.5 cm),
6 wooden dowels 63.5 cm x 0.7 cm,
wood glue,
wood screws.
Step 2: Assembling the structure
Take a 13cm x 1.22m x 1.5cm board and cut it into 2 equal 61cm boards. This is 2 side walls mini pantry.
For the bottom shelf, take a board 61cm x 10cm x 2cm.
For the top shelf, take a board 61cm x 10cm x 1.5cm.
Step 3: Attaching the Shelves
Fix the remaining 5 boards 61cm x 10cm x 1.5cm at the following distance (from the top of the structure): 11.5cm, 16.5cm, 16.5cm, 19cm, 23.5cm, 28.5cm. Then drill holes to insert a wooden dowel into each shelf, prepare dowels 64.5cm long and insert them into the holes.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Make a mark on the bottom of the structure and attach the wheels at equal distances on both sides.
Now all that remains is to secure the handle. Place the structure on wheels and try on where you want to place the handle to make it convenient. Make markings and secure the handle with screws or self-tapping screws.
The mini pantry is ready to use. Such a device will certainly find its secluded place in any kitchen. Enjoy the creation of your hands!

My mother has a very small kitchen, we knew this for a long time, but when we once again couldn’t fit in it, a reasonable question arose - how to save space in the kitchen.
Anything was offered, for example, my brother suggested changing the apartment, of course perfect option, but grandma is against it. I had to look for a simpler option so that I could not only save space, but also how to fit it in the kitchen.
Well, sometimes it’s very useful to sit on different forums, that’s how I found a wonderful idea - a do-it-yourself retractable shelf behind the refrigerator. My brother grimaced a little, but agreed to assist in my endeavor.
First, we measure the space behind the refrigerator so that our pull-out shelf can not only fit inside, but also move back and forth.
Then we assemble the shelf frame from chipboard. Here you can already play with color to make the shelf more invisible.
We complete our film across the boards with stands, making sure to insert a small strip into the set with the boards so that our supplies do not fall on the floor.
Attach the wheels to the bottom of the pull-out shelf; try to find small and silent wheels in a specialty store. They are not that expensive, but new small wheels will last longer than already used ones.
We insert our wonderful shelf behind the refrigerator, do not forget to attach a handle that will be convenient to pull pull-out shelf.
We arrange our supplies that do not fit in the main cabinets. By the way, if you don’t limit your imagination, then such a shelf will turn out to be quite a decent bar. Such comfortable places storage in the kitchen will never be empty, so when mom got such a shelf, almost half work surface immediately freed.
It’s another February, which means it’s time to prepare gifts for your loved ones for February 23rd. We asked the men we know (relatives and colleagues), found out what exactly they want as a gift, and are ready to present you with another selection of interesting and not trivial gifts for Defender of the Fatherland Day. Read, study offers in stores and make a choice!
Any housewife would not mind having extra space in the kitchen to store various equipment and accessories. Often the problem is that it is difficult to find free place to install a new cabinet. But if you take a close look at the various “nooks and crannies” of the kitchen, then in any space, even a small one, there is room for a small one or a shelf.
Here's how, for example, Dan and Erin played out a similar situation in their kitchen. When moving it to a new place, a narrow space remained between the wall and the refrigerator. free space. The decision has come to make it narrow drawer cabinet with shelves for storing various tall boxes and containers of products. They talk in detail about how the project developed on their website http://www.diypassion.com. I will try to briefly outline, step by step, their story about making a retractable cabinet.
The cabinet is made of planed pine boards and rests on four casters. The back wall of the cabinet is covered with a sheet of hardboard. To prevent objects from falling from the shelves, stoppers made of long wooden dowels are installed.
The dimensions of the cabinet were determined based on the height of the refrigerator and its depth. It took about 8 hours to make the cabinet.
Materials and tools:
- Planed pine boards.
- Hardboard sheet (white on one side).
- Furniture fixed wheels 4 pcs.
- Self-tapping screws.
- Wood glue.
- Putty.
- Nageli.
- Primer and paint.
- Stencil, foam swab.
- Nails.
- A circular saw.
- Drill with a set of drills and bits.
- Sandpaper medium grit.
- Measuring tape.
- Square.
- Level.
Assembly sequence.
Step 1. The boards were cut to size in accordance with the previously developed project.
Step 2. The cabinet frame was being assembled.
Step 3. The middle shelf was secured with self-tapping screws and additional nails. The remaining shelves are removable and placed on support bars. The distance between shelves was determined depending on the height of standard containers containing food products. The bottom shelf is for the tallest items.
Step 4. Cut out from a sheet of hardboard back wall closet Then, through a stencil, a pattern was applied to the white surface of the hardboard using a swab with black paint. Later the tampon had to be replaced with a larger one effective tool — paint roller.
Step 5. Just above the front edge of the shelves, dowels were inserted through drilled through holes in the side walls of the cabinet.
Step 6. Screwed to the base of the cabinet furniture wheels.
Step 7. All holes from nails and screws were filled with putty.
Step 8. The surface was sanded, primed and covered with two layers of paint.
Step 9. Final assembly cabinet work was done in the kitchen. The back wall was attached here. Then the drawer took its rightful place in narrow niche between the kitchen wall and the refrigerator.
As for the stability of the cabinet, it is securely held in the niche. But still, you should not completely roll it out of the refrigerator. If you intend to make a sliding wardrobe for own kitchen, then you should consider installing a limiter to prevent the cabinet from completely rolling out.
