A clutter-free home: How to create a storage layout that suits you
1. Understand storage space
Type of storage space
Scattered storage space
Close to the place where the items are used, part of it is solved by soft furnishings; the other part still needs to be considered in the early stage of design to leave space for subsequent installation.
Scene: magazines, remote controls, paper towels in the living room; towels, facial cleanser in the bathroom; seasonings and bottles in the kitchen
Temporary storage space
The entrance serves as a space that connects indoors and outdoors, providing a place for temporary items to stay. Emphasis on convenience, such as a hook, a shelf, or even distinction by the material of the floor
Scene: Returning home after shopping for groceries; just returning home after taking express delivery
Centralized storage space
On the one hand, vertical space must be effectively utilized by setting up partitions or hooks of various heights; on the other hand, appropriate "white space" must be provided to provide conditions for storing large items.
Scenario: Spare parts or large items that need to be kept in stock
2. How to design the storage layout during decoration
Three keywords:
thing
What items need to be stored in each space?
Location
The location of storage, that is, where is the appropriate placement of items?
Follow the flow of people’s activities for storage
size
The size of the storage space itself and the size of the surrounding space it brings
Two considerations:
What is the size of the storage object and what is the minimum size to store it?
The size required when people move around the storage space
Design case reference:
Kitchen: Add centralized storage cabinets, and set up a whole wall of storage cabinets on the back of the console (or other space) to store various kitchen appliances and tableware
Entrance:
Arrange storage along the flow of movement at the entrance. The best entrance design needs to be able to easily put down various bags and sundries on the flow line of the entrance, and complete many actions such as changing shoes and putting on coats.
In addition, it is also important to have a clear entrance partition. It is best to change shoes in non-clean areas to avoid confusion with clean areas
Housework room: a "squeezed" space
How to judge whether the storage layout is adequate:
The proportion of total storage area is 8~25%
Calculation formula: total projected area of indoor storage space and/inner area
See if you can find a suitable storage location for your items in each room
3. How to change the storage layout through soft decoration
Basic steps for storage:
1. Determine the basis for retaining items and remove excess items
Keep only necessary items according to your own trade-off principles
2. Decide where to store items
Give each item an “assigned seat”
Principles for determining "location":
Frequently used items are placed at a height where people can move around; less commonly used and heavier items are placed in the storage cabinet below; less commonly used and lighter items are placed in a higher position on the wall cabinet above.
3. Decide on the storage method
Give an appropriate method to the items whose location has been determined, and carefully consider what storage method can use the space more efficiently.
In daily use, remember to put used items back on the "fixed seat" in time. This is the iron rule when tidying up.
Flexible use of storage supplies
1. Various items need to be managed according to categories.
2. Orderly control the spatial composition of various items
3. About the relationship between hiding and revealing
Notice:
Storage supplies are not the same as storage space. Their function is more to facilitate the storage by categories and increase the efficiency of space utilization. Therefore, most storage supplies are usually not suitable for use alone without storage cabinets.
Before purchasing various storage products, you must arrange the space where they will be stored and measure the size of the space.
Storage system, space utilization
Storage system
Use it as a reference when designing storage locations
Height that can be touched by human hands: height x 1.2
Eye level: Height x 0.9
Height for placing commonly used items: 0.6-1.8m above the ground
Height of stored items: 1.8-2.4m and below 0.6m above the ground
To put it simply, you can follow the "head-waist principle", that is, the most commonly used items are placed above the waist and below the head.
The master of storage appears, and her beautiful storage methods are all in these 19 secrets
Entrance
①Coat rack and shoe changing bench combination
There is no entrance to the house (you face the restaurant directly when you enter)
Dining room
② Sideboard, shelf and hanging rod combination
study
③Multi-layer drawer cabinet, wall shelf, small bookcase
In order to maintain the openness of the space as much as possible and not block lighting and ventilation, there are no large bookcases in the study room. Accordingly, scattered storage is added, such as multi-layer drawer cabinets under the desk (the desktop and drawers are not integrated, and the desktop and table legs are also assembled later. combined), wall shelves, small bookcases.
kitchen
④Shelves and hanging rod combinations that replace wall cabinets
After removing the boring wall cabinet, an empty white brick wall is the best stage for displaying storage skills. The combination of shelves and hanging rods is still recommended. It can be placed and hung, and it is beautiful and useful.
⑤Magnet storage rack scissors
Make full use of the sides of the refrigerator and place items frequently used during baking on the storage shelves.
⑥Chopping board and knife set
If you don’t want your countertop to be cluttered, use the Amway JosephJoseph assorted chopping boards. Four chopping boards come with four knives. They are light and easy to use, and can be stored in a unified manner without taking up space.
⑦Storage basket under the sink
⑧Dish basket in drawer
Pull basket is more convenient than double door. When making cabinets, you must decide on the style of the pull basket (the pull basket does not have to be from the cabinet maker, you can also buy it elsewhere, such as Taobao), and report the size of the pull basket to the cabinet factory for making cabinets.
⑨Divider tray in drawer
Drawers without baskets can also be divided into trays for refined storage. The dividing plate of the soup potatoes was a little too big to fit in. I borrowed a chainsaw from a carpenter and cut off part of it before it fit... This is not a DIY recommendation! This is not a DIY recommendation! This is not a DIY recommendation! Everyone must be optimistic about the size of the cabinet itself before purchasing matching storage tools.
⑩Double-layered seasoning basket
The double-layered seasoning basket is the light of the kitchen! The various bottles and jars looked ugly when placed on the countertop, and the soy sauce easily seeped into the quartz stone countertop, so I preferred to put them all away.

⑪Storage items on the sink countertop
⑫Three-layer storage rack storage basket
The interior of the cabinet is divided into three layers of shelves and storage baskets. It is simply a miniature storage room. It is full and organized, making it suitable for those who love to stock up.

When you start thinking about storage, you must follow two principles
The first is the "proximity principle". Store things wherever they are used. Being "in a different place" is very uncomfortable;
The second is "three-dimensional storage". Don't make many large and small cabinets. A three-dimensional integrated wall cabinet is the real "storage artifact".
Floor-to-ceiling TV cabinet
Color
Try to choose light colors and avoid heavy colors. From a psychological point of view, heavy colors are more likely to give people a heavy and crowded feeling. The cabinets of Tiantianjia are the same white as the walls.
Appearance styling
It is necessary to combine reality with reality. Tiantian made the middle and lower areas of the cabinets open. The open space can eliminate the feeling of heaviness and oppression.
Lower opening
Not every household item that needs to be stored is beautiful and neat. If you use a full-opening cabinet, the entire cabinet will look messy. We need to close most of the space~
There are two reasons for choosing to make the lower cabinet into an opening. First, the space below is easier to take and place, and more convenient to operate. Second, the opening is easy to collect dust. It is difficult to take care of the dust on the top, but it is easier to take care of the bottom.
cabinet size
The size of the cabinet needs to be determined according to the size of the storage box. Storage is about making full use of space, but most of our items are odd-shaped, and small things take up a lot of space, which is too wasteful. At this time, use storage boxes to organize odd-shaped things and stack them together to make full use of the space~
Imagine that if the storage boxes are large, small, and colorful, even if you want to stack them, they will be twisted. It is best to unify the size and color of storage boxes. Uniformity is also the secret of storage.
Unified storage box
When choosing storage boxes, try to choose storage boxes with stable brands and classic styles. The quality of these storage boxes is generally better. Even if it is damaged, you can still buy the same storage box as before, and there will be no "inconsistency". Case.
Her kitchen countertop is bare, all thanks to practical cabinet design and storage techniques!
If you want to have nothing on the surface, the way is to put everything in the cupboard. "Floor cabinets, wall cabinets, high cabinets, shelves" all-round cabinet storage method
Cabinets
Use as many drawers as possible in the base cabinets, and small items such as tableware and knives can be sorted using grids.
What to do with the pot then? The answer is to put it upright. Thanks to the adjustable shelf, the pot can be tilted slightly when the drawer height is not enough. When decorating cabinets, remember to calculate the height and depth of items to be placed (especially large items such as pots), and then design drawers of appropriate sizes.
Wall cabinet
Wall cabinets are difficult to access, and items tend to spill if stacked. You can use tall and thin containers to occupy more space.
High cabinet
The upper part of the tall cabinet is close to the height of a person, making it easy to handle. It can be used as a partition, which is simple and cost-effective.
The lower part of the tall cabinet requires bending, so it is more convenient to use it as a pull basket.
stainless steel shelves
It is cheap and flexible to use. The floor height can be adjusted in units of about 3cm. The height of the Xiaoxiangjia model can be up to 1.8 meters.
Tips for purchasing stainless steel shelves:
Generally, the depth is 45cm. The 60cm depth of the little elephant is to be flush with the refrigerator.

Tips for upgrading your residence
There are more and more things, but there is not enough space. How to break them?
The solution is to gather spaces with the same attributes to create a family core area.
Traditional house types usually have the living room as the core layout, with a single connection to the dining room, kitchen, study room, and various bedrooms. Nowadays, many house types have begun to abandon the concept of "living room" and replace it with the "core area" of the home, that is, an open space integrating living, office, dining, and cooking.
The small kitchen area is limited. Transferring some cooking functions to the dining room and using the dining room to handle simple meals while another person cooks in the kitchen can effectively relieve the pressure in the kitchen.
By setting up an integrated open space, you can remove components with extremely low usage rates (such as sliding doors that are always open, rarely closed, and always occupy one track width), allowing every inch of space to be used.
Between the dining room and the kitchen, a bar counter may be used for "incomplete separation": the bar counter is higher and can visually block the clutter in the kitchen; the bar counter serves as a small appliance area, a temporary office area, and a simple dining area, so that the dining table is no longer full of clutter. , dining at a spacious and comfortable dining table makes you feel more happy.
Solution 2: Use foldable and stowable furniture to increase flexible space.
First of all, try to choose small furniture, so that you can leave more space for activities and be more visually transparent.
Then, choose multi-functional furniture to make the best use of everything. One piece of furniture can meet multiple needs.
How to plan a balcony?
The solution is a business balcony
It is first recommended to arrange the balcony as a housework type. The balconies of new commercial houses often have double pipes for rainwater and sewage diversion. In old houses, the washing machine sewer pipe can be connected to the home's sewage pipe.
Place the washing machine on the balcony and dry the washed clothes directly (no need to move the clothes from the bathroom to the balcony every time). The flow of movement is clearer and the entire laundry process can be completed in one go. When decorating, remember to reserve sockets for washing machines, dryers, etc.
Try to design the washing machine and sink on the same side to facilitate cleaning of detailed clothing such as collars or cuffs. The height of the countertop can adapt to the optimal height of the washing machine and sink. The sink must have hot and cold water. If the balcony is far away from the water heater, use hot water. If it is not economical, just add a small kitchen appliance under the sink; if possible, you can also install a wall-mounted mini washing machine specifically for washing underwear and baby clothes.
In order to use the washing machine without bending down, you can also use a cabinet to lift the entire washing machine, which is especially suitable for families with elderly people, making it easier to do housework.
As for drying, this kind of foldable clothes drying rack is not recommended. Although it can be folded and folded freely, it will be very obstructive if you want to place other large items on the balcony. The popular trend is electric clothes drying racks that can be remotely controlled. The advanced version also comes with functions such as ultraviolet disinfection and convection drying, saving friends from the south during the rainy season. The price is around a thousand yuan, which is acceptable to most families.
Solution 2 Leisure Balcony
The romantic idea of "I have a botanical garden at home" is not difficult to realize. The preferred flooring material is ceramic tiles, which are waterproof and easy to care for. Those who like the feel of wooden floors can choose wood grain tiles, or use antiseptic wood (plastic wood/ecological wood), but the gaps will be more difficult to clean.
Small plants are placed on multi-layer shelves, trolleys, benches or tabletops. Using vertical space can make the plants appear rich, lively and layered, and there is no need to bend down excessively when watering.
The appearance of the container is also very important. In addition to traditional ceramic basins and plastic basins, metal basins, cement basins, kraft paper bags, rattan baskets, glass bottles, etc. that are suitable for modern minimalist styles.
If you want a small cloakroom, can you do it?
Solution: Concave-shaped cloakroom
It can be understood as a walk-in wardrobe that is deeper than an ordinary wardrobe, with storage on three sides. More importantly, it integrates the dressing function. If a dressing table is set up separately outside the ordinary wardrobe, the wardrobe door may be blocked by the dressing table and it is difficult to Open question.
Usually, light walls and aluminum alloy glass sliding doors are used to separate the cloakroom. Whether the glass is transparent depends on how much the individual cares about privacy. Barn doors or even curtains can be used instead of sliding doors.
The wardrobe part can be realized through furniture customization. When designing, please note that the depth of the wardrobe is 55cm, and leave at least 90*90cm of moving space in the middle of the three-sided wardrobe so that people will not feel cramped inside.
Solution 2: Double-line cloakroom
That is, two rows of ordinary wardrobes with an aisle in the middle. For bedrooms larger than 15 square meters and long in shape, it is easier to build a double-line dressing room, which can be closed or open.
The bedroom is relatively small, and there are extreme measures. For example, without affecting the function of the bathroom, the bathroom in the bedroom or near the bedroom can be divided into two halves with a gypsum board wall, and one half can be used as a dressing room.
Wardrobe storage design
The highest point of the cabinet can be used to place quilts and out-of-season clothes. Use large storage bags to pack them all to avoid dust. Solid color storage bags made of harder material look neater and more stylish.
There must be plenty of hanging areas so that clothes of the season can be hung without creases. The clothes hanging area is separated for men and women, with men's tops and bottoms separated, and women's shorts and skirts separate. The space under the shorts can be made into drawers to store bags, scarves, thin T-shirts, underwear, socks, etc.
Small items of clothing such as underwear and socks in the drawer should be rolled up and numbered in sequence so that they can be clearly seen at a glance when the drawer is opened. Use drawer dividers to separate underwear and socks for easy access and hygiene.
Both the drawers themselves and the drawer dividers can be customized together with the wardrobe, but they are expensive. It is a more cost-effective way to customize the wardrobe with the simplest shelves and purchase drawers and other accessories of appropriate sizes.
House renovation
Dark hall turns into bright hall
In old houses, the second bedroom is on the extension line of the living room. If the second bedroom is not handled well, the living room will appear closed and crowded, and the lighting will be greatly affected.
In order to prevent the living room from being closed off, a completely transparent sliding door with a thin black frame was chosen, which is transparent.
Usually, when the sliding door is opened, the second bedroom and the living room are connected as an extension of the living room. If you need to use the second bedroom as a bedroom, thick curtains on the inside can also ensure privacy.
