No matter how many cabinets you make during renovation, if these 7 storage spaces are not taken into consideration, it is equivalent to "ineffective storage"!

Ding ding, I only said that the renovated ones should move in early, and if you see me, it’s another day to avoid pitfalls!

Decoration is a complex system project, and there are many details that need to be paid attention to. This is the most difficult part, which means that we need to give it full consideration.

However, since many netizens are decorating for the first time, they do not fully organize their needs, which leads to the discovery of decoration loopholes after moving in. Especially in terms of storage, if you don’t consider it properly, your home will be messy.

In this issue, Zao Zao Zhu will talk to you about seven storage areas that are easily overlooked. These involve small items that are commonly used at home, and they are all essential cabinet details. If you don’t know them yet, then hurry up and save them!

01

Luggage Storage

Where do you put your suitcases? Are they placed randomly and in a mess? Many netizens put their suitcases in the corners of their homes. Even if they try their best to organize them, they are still in a mess.

There are also netizens who put their suitcases on the top of the cabinet. Not only is there a risk of them falling and hitting someone, but it is also inconvenient and difficult to take and put away, and the house is still messy at ordinary times.

In fact, when customizing a cabinet, you must find a home for the suitcase to avoid embarrassing situations like the one above. The method is very simple, just design a bottomless cabinet.

It is recommended to customize a storage cabinet with a depth of 600㎜ near the entrance door, reserving a storage space of about 750㎜ in height and 800㎜ in length, without the bottom of the cabinet, for storing suitcases.

When you store your suitcases in the cabinet, you won’t see any mess from the outside, and it’s easy to take and put away without the risk of them falling or the embarrassment of not being able to reach them.

For homeowners who have already moved in, they can use the shelves to build a storage rack to place suitcases. It is not expensive, but it can solve the pain point of having no place to put the suitcases.

02

Sweeping robot storage

Many homeowners have equipped their homes with sweeping robots, which can reduce a lot of housework by leaving the sweeping task entirely to the sweeping robots. However, how should the sweeping robots be stored to make them both beautiful and practical?

This netizen's automatic sweeping robot cannot be stored in the bathroom and can only be placed at the bathroom door, which is a tripping hazard and looks particularly abrupt.

In fact, when customizing the cabinet, you can make a home for the sweeping robot by reserving space in the entrance, balcony, sideboard, etc. At the same time, you can also connect the water valve and floor drain to realize automatic water supply and drainage.

On the balcony cabinet, especially next to the washing machine, reserve a small nest for the sweeping robot to easily achieve automatic water supply and drainage.

If you have already moved in, you can purchase a storage cabinet for the sweeping robot, or place a metal storage rack on the sweeping robot to achieve the same storage needs.

03

Stool Storage

After moving in, the family will have a lot of spare stools in case of emergency. These stools are rarely used and need to be stored in time. If you do not consider the storage of spare stools when customizing the cabinet, the house will look very messy.

How should spare stools be stored? In a cabinet close to the dining room, such as a sideboard or shoe cabinet, with a depth of more than 40 cm, reserve a grid space with a width of 50 cm and a suitable height for stool storage.

The recommended height is about one meter. The higher the height, the more stools can be stored, but the more space is required.

For homeowners who forget to reserve space, they can also choose to use the wardrobe for storage and use the grids that are not often used to place stools, which can also be stored.

04

Clean clothes storage

Where should you store the used and dirty clothes? This is a problem that must be solved at home. If you put them on the sofa, it will be a mess and uncomfortable to look at.

Just like this netizen’s home, the clean clothes were placed on the sofa, and the sofa was piled full, looking very messy.

Homeowners who have not yet renovated their homes must listen to advice. They must design a storage area for second-hand clean clothes and overnight clothes, otherwise the entire home customization will be a failure. There are many places to store second-hand clean clothes, such as:

①. Use the entrance hall to design a clothes hanging area. You can also add a shoe-changing bench to hang clothes, change shoes, hang umbrellas and bags, which is more practical.

If the entrance space is not large, you can install perforated boards or hooks directly on the entrance wall to store clothes and bags.

②. Wardrobe open grid. Reserve a large open grid on the wardrobe and install horizontal bars or hooks to hang clothes. It is very practical and can protect privacy.

③. Finished clothes drying rack. In the bedroom or other spaces, you can place a finished clothes drying rack to store second-hand clothes. However, since it is placed on the ground, it will take up space and is suitable for homeowners who have already moved in and do not have a second-hand clothes storage area.

05

Small appliance storage

After moving in, there are a lot of small appliances in the house, including rice cookers, microwave ovens, induction cookers, various small cooking pots, etc. If these small appliances are stored on the cabinet countertop, it will cause a lot of pressure on the countertop.

In this netizen's home, small appliances are placed in a corner of the cabinet countertop. There are so many of them and they are so messy that they not only waste space but also affect the appearance of the space.

Homeowners who have not yet renovated their homes must listen to the advice and reserve storage space for small appliances when customizing cabinets. In the kitchen or sideboard, reserve open storage compartments to place small appliances.

If you have a good budget for renovation, you can install a pull-out board, store small appliances on the pull-out board, and pull them out when you use them, which will provide a better experience and more comfort.

For homeowners who don’t have the time or have a low budget, they can buy ready-made metal storage racks online, which can also be used to store small appliances against the wall.

06

Large kitchen storage

After moving in, you will also find that in addition to small appliances, there are many commonly used large items in the house, such as rice, oil, etc., which are all items that need to be stored.

These large items are not small in weight, so it is recommended to choose a floor cabinet to place them, which is convenient for daily use and can also avoid damaging the cabinet. It is best to place them inside the cabinet, which has a large space and is easy to use.

07

Baby Products Storage

Many homeowners do not consider the storage of baby products, which results in no place to put strollers, toys, etc., resulting in a mess.

Many netizens, because they have no storage space for strollers and toys at home, simply place them in public aisles. This is not only unsafe, but also affects neighborhood relations.

Many baby strollers can be folded. It is recommended to learn from the storage ideas of suitcases and design a bottomless cabinet for storage. Designed as an 800-meter storage, baby strollers and baby supplies can be placed here just like a suitcase, and their folding bicycles can be placed in the future.

For homeowners who have already moved into the house, if they did not , they can buy the floor-to-ceiling storage rack shown in the picture online to store their children's toys .

In short, after moving in, you will find that there are many items that need to be stored at home, especially spare stools, suitcases, various small appliances and clean clothes. You should plan well and put forward your needs before customizing the cabinets, otherwise the house will be a mess after moving in.
