The Back Of The Door Cabinet brings attention to all the [unused spaces present throughout the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-storage). As contemporary living areas become smaller and smaller due to rising populations, designs such as this one that utilizes unusual corners of the house or apartment are desperately needed. Paring down possessions can only go so far.

Available on Hammacher Schlemmer, the Back Of The Door Cabinet makes use of the existing hinges present at common entranceways. Once securely attached, it swings open to reveal [six adjustable shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf) with retention rods to keep objects from falling out. Perfect for additional storage in bathrooms, an impromptu pantry in the kitchen and more, it was created with small spaces in mind. The only catch is that it requires 3.5 inches between the adjacent wall and hinge pins to open up properly.
