Functional storage makes your everyday life easier. Elfa has different product lines adapted to different storage needs.
Husband and wife Möller Kirchsteiger used the simple click-in system to create an optimal storage dream in their newly-built walk-in pantry. It’s a harmonious, organised, structured and functional space that reflects a passion for cooking.

It took Cecilia’s father and Sebastian just a couple of hours to install the top-hung click-in shelving system from Elfa. Then it was Cecilia’s turn to let her creativity loose and add aesthetics to the pantry with beautiful glass jars and labels printed with a good old Dymo printer.
“I love storing things in glass jars! You can see at a glance when the contents are running low... making it so much easier to write a shopping list. The resulting look is also more harmonious and balanced without the jumble of colours and writing on packets of food.”
What do you like most about the Elfa system?
“Apart from the fact that it was so easy to install, I like the versatility that it offers. The layout can be reconfigured to suit your needs without any effort. For instance, we needed to fit it around the chimney in one of the corners. And when we want to add another part, it couldn’t be simpler. Like the shelf that we’re planning to get for our oven dishes. I like the fact that you can change your mind.

A small office shelf has been installed above the wine storage section along with a message board and boxes for pens and other bits and pieces.
There is a practical gift wrap holder here too.
Kitchen appliances have been sorted into drawers and labelled according to their intended use. For example, “Chopping”, “Baking”, etc.
The Möller Kirchsteiger’s walk-in pantry is a veritable dream for lovers of organisation and structure. Everything there is neatly arranged in a monochrome palette. Structured and easy to find. Just like in a convenience store.
“We actually call our pantry the “little shop”. But as we have a one-year old, we occasionally have to lock the shop up, which is why we’ve fitted a cabin hook on the sliding door.”
Cecilia insists that their pantry is always this well organised and tidy, not just when it’s being photographed for the public eye.
“My husband and I both like things to be organised and structured. We find that soothing. I love my pantry so much that on occasions I’ve gone inside and shut the door just for the pleasure of being there.” As a mum of a little one, I grab some me-time when I can! I like to drink a glass of juice and simply enjoy the tidiness of it all. If we’re pleased? Oh my goodness! We love our pantry!”
