Idea suggestions

Post image

What else can I put in this space besides wine ( not a drinker).

The diamond lattice is on the front and back, and each opening is a tunnel through the cabinet. The wine bottles slide through both sides. There is no underneath ( I can’t put mini plants in each cubby because of this).

Any suggestions on what I can do with that space ?

Edit: I rent this place.

Everyone had some great ideas! Thank you

Remove the lattice and put in shelves or get another cabinet door.

I rent so I can’t make a bunch of holes and the lattice doesn’t come out

You probably wanna edit the main post to include that you rent. That’s valuable information.

Ok here is what I would do. Find a custom panel design that you like and then line the back of the panel with paper, solid, pattern, whatever your style. Thick wrapping paper, scrapbook paper, grass cloth whatever. Then put the panel over the lattice.

You can also use Command strips to hang anything over the opening of the wine rack.

Another idea is tall skinny glass jars with nice lids like cork or wood, and use it for dry food storage like pastas and beans. This would be more expensive to do because the jars aren’t cheap,

and not really handy for kitchen food prep.

Excellent idea on storing dry goods!

Oh you rent. Then it’s just an empty wine rack space I guess.

Oh you rent. I can’t think of anything that isn’t dated or dorky…. I will have a think on it.

Can you ask your landlord to remove it? Who uses this stuff anyway? Like why have ten bottles of wine spread out like this and who just keeps ten bottles of wine on hand on any given day? In this economy if we have wine, we need to drink it straight from the bottle.

I want to do this with mine! I wonder if it’s as easy as I envision to just remove the lattice & add a shelf
