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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Utilizing Unusual Spaces:** Creating designs that make use of unused corners and spaces in homes or apartments. - **Maximizing Small Spaces:** Designing products that provide additional storage options in limited living areas. - **Space-saving Furniture:** Developing innovative furniture solutions that help save space while offering functionality. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for designers to create functional and stylish solutions for small living spaces. - **Home Organization:** The need for products and systems that help maximize storage and declutter small spaces. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Potential for manufacturers to create compact and adaptable furniture designs for small homes and apartments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Discreet Folding Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf.md) - [Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet.md) - [Sleek Wall Organizer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mdf-boards.md) - [Playful Rotating Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giralot-rotating-storage.md) - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md) - [Cabinet-Style Kitchen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next125-pocket-system.md) - [Exercise Bike-Concealing Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botier-for-bike.md) - [Mirrored Freestanding Storage Closets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cayman-storage-mirror.md) - [Miniature Sanitized Cabinet Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yujin-lee.md)
