Who doesn't want their home to be clean and tidy? But the reality is often a bit of a headache. For example, after moving into a new home or cleaning, the home looks comfortable. But after a long time, as soon as there are too many things, the house becomes chaotic again.
I have observed many families and found that some people have a sense of messiness, in fact, it is mainly from 6 mistakes in decoration, resulting in a mess of thoughts, maybe you also have it, come and see.
1. Over-reliance on open storage
Open storage does give a visual sense of simplicity and clarity, and it's a lot easier to access things. But this type of storage also has its drawbacks.
First of all, without the protection of the cabinet door, the dust can easily adhere to the items, and you need to wipe it anytime and anywhere, otherwise it will be miserable after a while.
Secondly, if the items are not neatly arranged, they will look disorganized. What's worse is that even if it is neatly placed, because the colors are colorful, it still looks like it hasn't been cleaned up, and it still feels messy.
It is recommended to make it directly into closed storage, and add cabinet doors to better hide clutter and make the whole space look more neat and orderly.
2. The internal structure of the wardrobe is unreasonable
Some people's wardrobe design is a real headache, and the interior layout is simply terrible.
First of all, there are too few settings in the clothes hanging area, and for suits, shirts, and long skirts, only when they are hung up, they will look neat and easy to wear.
However, if the hanging area is not enough, these clothes can only be squeezed into the corner, crumpled, and embarrassed to wear out.
Although the stacking area may seem like a large space, it is actually a pit. The folded clothes will be messy when they are turned over, and they will all collapse if you are not careful.
Moreover, once the clothes in the stacking area are messed up, finding them is like rummaging through a pile of clutter, and the whole thing is a mess.
A good wardrobe design should be a reasonable distribution of hanging areas and stacking areas. The hanger area should be large enough to accommodate all your hanger needs. And the stacking area, although it is also needed, should not be dominant.
3. The kitchen wall cabinet is too high and too deep
The design of the wall cabinet in the kitchen is also a place where it is easy to step on the pit, and some people make it high and deep in order to increase storage.
Every time I wanted to get something, I had to move out of the stool, step on it carefully, and always be careful not to fall down.
Secondly, some things are hidden too deeply, and they have been forgotten for a long time, especially some foods, which are expired or moldy when they are remembered.
In general, the depth of the wall cabinet should be between 30 cm and 45 cm, and the height of the bottom of the wall cabinet from the ground is about 140 cm to 160 cm, so that the items can be easily accessed and at the same time avoid head bumps.
4. There is not enough storage space in the bathroom
The storage problem of the bathroom is a place that is easy to ignore when decorating, thinking that there are not many things, and there is not much storage space, but when you live in, you find that it is not like this.
At that time, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer, facial cleanser and other toiletries can only be stacked on the sink, and at a glance, it will be messy.
Moreover, if toiletries are not properly stored, they are susceptible to the influence of humid environment, bacteria and so on.
You can install some hanging shelves in the bathroom, which can make full use of the wall space and hang toiletries neatly. You can also make some niches to use the space inside the wall to store and save space.
5. Balcony storage is not planned
The balcony, an often overlooked corner, is actually a potential storage space in a home. But sadly, many people don't take full advantage of this and instead turn the balcony into a cluttered pile of clutter.
For example, the balcony of some families is filled with waste cardboard boxes, bottles and cans, brooms and dustpans, etc., which not only look ugly, but also waste space at home.
It is recommended to use some storage tools on the balcony, such as shelves, storage boxes, etc., which can also greatly improve the storage efficiency of the balcony. If possible, you can also make a special tool cabinet and put all the sundries in it, which looks much more refreshing.
6. The design of the shoe cabinet is unreasonable
The importance of shoe cabinet design is self-evident, it is the façade of the home, the first area you see when you enter the door.
If the design of the shoe cabinet is unreasonable, such as the height and depth are not enough, then the boots can't be put down, and the plus-size shoes can't be stuffed in, and finally they can only be put outside, and they will stink and mess as soon as they enter the door.
A good shoe cabinet must have enough height and depth, and the partition can be designed to be movable, which can be adjusted according to the height of the shoes, so as to improve the utilization of internal space.
Therefore, as long as it seems that the storage design of the home is wrong, although it takes a lot of thought, the home will still be messy. When decorating, it is necessary to plan in advance how to put things, so that the home can be practical and comfortable, and look neat and tidy.
