Tall storage cabinets and the floor space they save
A tall cabinet is the answer when you have more to store than floor to store it on. Going up rather than out keeps the walkable room intact, and doors mean the contents stop being part of the decoration.
These run 61.8 to 91.1 inches high, 14.6 to 69.8 wide and 9.8 to 23.2 deep. At the upper end you are near ceiling height in most rooms, so measure the ceiling as well as the wall, and check that the cabinet can be tilted upright in the space once assembled.
Tall storage cabinet shelves, and what will fit
Narrow cabinets under 20 inches wide slot into the gap beside a door or a chimney breast, which is usually dead space. Wider units act as a wall of storage in a utility room, a garage or a home office.
Adjustable shelves are what make a tall cabinet usable rather than merely large. Set the spacing for the tallest thing you are storing and work down from there, since a fixed shelf every twelve inches wastes the space above every short item. Move a shelf by lifting it clear of its supports rather than sliding it, and check both clips are seated at the same height before it goes back.
Anchoring a tall storage cabinet safely
A loaded tall cabinet is heavy and top-weighted, so anchor it to the wall before you fill it. Fix into a stud rather than drywall alone, since a drywall fixing pulls through under exactly the load that matters. Many of these ship with anti-tip hardware included.
Where a wall genuinely cannot be drilled, change how you load it instead: keep the top shelf light, put the heaviest items lowest, and choose a wider, shallower cabinet over a tall narrow one.
