Even Japanese housewives praise this storage method, and it can be used in your home too!
For small apartments, the most obvious problem after moving in is: insufficient storage space. Various sundries, clothes, children's toys and other things that need to be stored increase as you live in! In fact, if these places are well prepared during decoration, you don't have to worry about storage space!
Entryway storage
Storage must be done well, and the setting of the storage space in the entrance hall cannot be ignored. The space of the entrance hall actually undertakes the main storage task of a family. How should the entrance hall storage be done to meet the family storage needs?
1: Wall-mounted integrated entrance cabinet
The entrance hall is the main passage connecting the outdoor and indoor spaces. Changing shoes when entering the house is the most basic habit of life, so a built-in entrance hall cabinet is set up at the entrance to store shoes and other items.
How to make the entrance cabinet more practical?
1. Set up multiple layouts : If the entrance cabinet only has grids reserved for shoes, a lot of space will be wasted. Therefore, the entrance cabinet should consider the layout of multiple storage functions: such as shoe storage, clothing storage, and sundries storage.
2. Pay attention to details when setting up the shoe cabinet space:For example, the length of the shoe cabinet should not be too long, which will easily cause waste of space. The width of the shoe cabinet should be set according to the length of the shoes.
3. The lower part should leave space for a regular shoe cabinet and a shoe-changing bench. This way, it is convenient and comfortable to change shoes when entering the door, without having to stand crookedly and unsteadily.
Living room storage
In some apartment types, the living room is right at the entrance, and the entrance is not obvious, so there is no way to put a entrance cabinet to increase storage space. Therefore, the burden of storage falls on the living room.
1. Multifunctional TV cabinet storage
The most common storage method is to use the space of the TV cabinet. The multifunctional TV cabinet not only has the function of storage, but also has the function of display cabinet. Many families will choose to use multifunctional TV cabinets to increase storage space.
2. Move the sofa forward 10cm to leave space for storage
Normally, the sofa is placed against the wall. However, by moving the sofa forward 10cm, you can leave space for a storage cabinet. From now on, you don't have to worry about having no place to put things. Children's toys, books, etc. can be placed in the storage cabinet.
Bedroom space storage
Bedroom storage is mainly for clothes and other sundries. The bedroom space is not large, and the only three places that can meet the storage needs are the wardrobe, bed and windowsill.
1: Built-in wardrobe instead of finished cabinets
Built-in wardrobes fit the wall, which makes better use of space. The design of built-in wardrobes from the wall to the ceiling reduces the trouble of dust. Relatively speaking, built-in wardrobes can hold more clothes than finished cabinets.
2. Transform the bay window into a storage cabinet
In recent years, the design of bay windows has become popular in bedroom windows. In the early days, people were not very good at renovating bay windows, so they were wasted. Turning bay windows into leisure areas with storage cabinets can reduce storage pressure.
Bathroom Storage
Most of the items stored in the bathroom are for bathing, such as towels, clothes, shampoo, toothbrushes , toothpaste, cosmetics, paper towels, etc. A good-looking bathroom should be neatly stored.
1: Bathroom cabinet + wall cabinet
If the bathroom can accommodate a large bathroom cabinet, then basically all the bathroom sundries of a family can be put down. A tidy bathroom is a must for a family!
2. Use the space above the toilet
To be honest, the bathroom area of a small apartment is usually not too large, basically no more than 5 square meters, and it is unlikely to accommodate a large bathroom cabinet. At this time, you can plan reasonably and use the area above the toilet to increase the storage area.
Make full use of every space.
