Where to store iron and ironing board: we offer storage options

Have you found a convenient place for your iron? And the ironing board was removed from sight, but not far? And for many, this is still a problem. Each hostess decides her own way. Let's try to find the most suitable places for these items.

What should be the storage space

The dimensions of the ironing board allow you to hide it in any slot - behind the closet, behind the curtains, behind the doors, under the sofa. It’s possible to hide, but it’s not always convenient to get a rather bulky design out of this gap, periodically striving to “bite” your fingers.

Some leave the board open to the eye: convenient, but not very aesthetically pleasing. Simultaneously with the board, you have to look for a place for its permanent companion - the iron. It is not difficult to remove it, but there is a nuance! Immediately after use, it is hot, so it can ruin a shelf or nearby objects.

Our own experience suggests the requirements for storage space for iron and board:

• you need a space that is closed from the eyes, ironing equipment is difficult to fit into the interior of the room;
• the dimensions of the storage for the board should correspond to its dimensions;
• the place for the iron must be well ventilated to cool the hot appliance.

Important! Material in a secluded place must be resistant to high temperatures. Otherwise, you will first have to cool the iron, making sure that none of the household touches the hot sole. And only then clean.

A place will be convenient from which it will not be difficult to get the necessary items at any time.

Iron Storage Options

The iron is not so large that it was impossible to find a secluded place for it. Most housewives are not very inventive looking for him: they put a red-hot item on the windowsill so that it cools down there. Yes, and forget about it until the next ironing.

But there are more elegant solutions.

In a chest of drawers or furniture drawer

For iron, you can highlight a shelf in a chest of drawers in one of the furniture drawers.

Important! When storing the iron on shelves made of wood or chipboard, you need to take care of the hot stand, which will protect the surface from damage.

In a case

No less elegant option, excluding financial costs, but requiring time and perseverance: to sew a box-case, for example, using the patchwork technique.

For her, you will need unnecessary clothes or beautiful rags. You can even put the iron in such an elegant case on an open shelfwhere it will become an interior decoration.

In the closet

Don't like the “rustic” look of the case? Then you have to go to the hardware store, choose holder for iron and ironing board.

Mobile designs are available for sale that are hung on any door from above. And there are such holders that are screwed to the wall or the inside of the door of any cabinet, suitable in size.

Advice! The holder can be attached not only to the cabinet door, but also to the interior door.

How to store an ironing board

It’s good if there was a place for the board in the pantry or in the closet. And if you sorted out all the possible niches, and none of them are satisfied? And to order an economic cabinet in terms of size does not work: too expensive? And the idea of ​​a place on the balcony or in the pantry is also not suitable? Find another place!

Choose a place to store

It is a pity that the architects at the design stage of residential buildings did not think about the dressing room or laundry rooms. If they were in every apartment, then the problem of storing a board with an iron would disappear by itself.

Most living quarters have “hidden opportunities."

In the closet

The most natural solution is to store the board inside the wardrobe. Some manufacturers, apparently, themselves once solved a similar problem, therefore they provided for their products with a high narrow section, in which both the “ironer” and the iron are placed.

You can take this decision as a sample and make a similar compartment inside your existing cabinet with your own hands. Here, the board is definitely not dusty and will be hidden from prying eyes.

On the wall

• For example, was it planned to hang a picture on an unoccupied piers? You are welcome! But it can also be hung on the box, inside which the board will hide.
• A similar technique is a mirror masking shelter for a board. By the way, you don’t have to do all this yourself, you can buy it.
• In a nursery, it is appropriate to attach an ironing board with a magnetic marker surface.

We organize a place for ironing and storing the board

Another option is to organize a permanent place for ironing. And hide the inventory there.

Help in this extendable and built-in ironing boards.

Among them there are those that fit even in the drawer of the kitchen set! And there are whole ironing complexes. In appearance, these are ordinary cabinets or dressers, inside which shelves for linen are arranged.

Advice! When arranging an ironing corner, it is important to think over such “trifles” as the proximity of the outlet, the “patency” of the room, the need for additional items, such as a chair or bedside tables.

Why is it important? It is clear that there are extension cords, but domestic ones, especially children, do not always pay attention to wires. Stumble, fall, dump the iron. And if on foot? This is about the outlet. Now about the "cross". When rooms are small or heavily crowded, an unfolded board can make it difficult to move from one room to another.

Advice! Before dwelling on any option, one more question must be answered: is it convenient to iron here?

Check, maybe at this point the wire will fall under the sole of the iron, and the elbow will crash into the shelf behind.

Are you comfortable with the place? Then we organize the space in accordance with our own ideal and budget.
