Pantry and cupboard planning for Uppsala homes

SKU STO-02

Utility cupboards

Laundry nooks, broom closets, and secondary rooms that swallow vacuum cleaners, detergent, and spare linen in Uppsala apartments.

Finding space beside the washing machine

Stacked washer-dryer towers leave a slim gap that often becomes a dumping ground for softener bottles. We design a 30 cm side cabinet with lipped shelves so bottles stay upright when the machine vibrates.

In basement laundry rooms shared by several flats, we plan lockable personal cupboards sized for two weeks of detergent rather than open shelves that invite mix-ups.

Cleaning kits that leave the kitchen

Mops and vacuum tubes belong outside the food pantry. We carve a tall utility bay with hanging rails for brush heads and a low tray for dirty cloths waiting for the wash.

Student households near Campus Polacksbacken often share one vacuum. A labelled hook board with a booking note reduces arguments about who left the machine in the corridor.

Moisture and ventilation in cupboards

Utility rooms in 1970s Uppsala blocks can stay damp after laundry days. We specify ventilated doors or cut louvres and keep cardboard packaging off the floor.

Where a cupboard sits against an exterior wall facing north, we recommend plastic or coated metal bins instead of untreated wood that warps.

Linen and spare bedding layers

Guest bedding for relatives visiting during university events piles up quickly. We reserve the top two shelves for sealed bags and keep everyday towels at waist height for daily grabs.

A simple colour code on shelf edges helps flatmates return sets to the right stack without opening every bag.

Typical fees for utility planning

Utility-only consultations usually cost 1 600 to 2 500 SEK when we visit one laundry or broom cupboard. Combined utility packages with hardware lists and install sketches land between 12 000 and 28 000 SEK.

When the brief also rebuilds a kitchen pantry in the same apartment, we fold both into a single package quoted toward the mid-to-upper range of our fee schedule.
