Tatami mat style is widely used in decoration, especially in recent years, tatami mat style has become a trend.
It is popular in small apartments because of its super storage capacity of tatami mats.
Tatami mats have both Japanese and Chinese styles, no matter which style is matched, and the design of tatami mats can be varied, so it can show a more elegant style that can be matched, and the soft and hard tatami mats are also suitable for people of different ages.
Advantages of tatami mats
The design style of tatami mats can present both a fresh and simple Japanese style and a Chinese style with Chinese cultural heritage.
The origin of tatami mats can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, when tatami mats were already designed.
Tatami mats are designed by splicing wooden planks together, and the wooden planks are covered with bamboo, and then tatami mats are laid on top of the bamboo.
Therefore, there are other ways to say tatami mats, such as bamboo couches, bamboo mats, etc.
Tatami mats were mainly used by the upper class aristocracy in ancient China, but later with the development of the times, the design style of tatami mats also changed, and now tatami mats are designed more with wooden planks.
The design of tatami mats is simple and flexible, and it can be combined to create areas with different functions or different shapes.
Tatami mats also have a long history of use in China, as early as the confinement period, in order to make the mother's rest more comfortable, Chinese people will spread a thick cushion on the tatami mat.
For this reason, tatami mats are also called "tatatsu", and the name "tatat" is still passed down to this day.
The tatami mat design creates an elegant, serene space, and the use of tatami mats makes the space appear more open.
In small houses, the area above the tatami mat can be used as a suspended design, and the material of the tatami mat is generally wooden, so this design can not only retain the original area, but also increase the storage space, so the small apartment is more suitable for tatami design.
The storage design of tatami mats is very widely used in small apartments, and the space under the tatami mats can not only place some sundries, but also the tatami mats can be designed as drawers, which is easy to take and more beautiful.
What's more, tatami mats can save more space in the room, such as designing the tatami mat as a bed, so that the tatami mat can be opened at night, and the tatami mat can be put down to sleep when you sleep at night.
The exterior design of tatami mats can not only be designed into building block shapes, wave shapes, etc., but also can be integrated with the wardrobe to build an overall wardrobe, which will not take up more space and improve the utilization rate of space.
Disadvantages of tatami mats.
With the development of the times, people have gradually become aware of some defects in tatami mats.
First of all, although tatami has a certain degree of design flexibility, its flexibility is mainly reflected in the appearance of the modeling, which does not mean that it has flexibility in design function.
Tatami mats are mainly designed in the form of patchwork, and it is this design that also limits its flexibility.
If the splicing of tatami mats is not done well, the overall structure of tatami mats will be affected, and even some gaps will appear in the splicing, which will also allow insects to enter the inside of tatami mats and affect the service life of tatami mats.
At the same time, you should always be careful when using tatami mats and avoid stepping on any gaps in the tatami mats to avoid tripping.
Tatami mats also need a certain amount of space when designing, but in some small homes, due to the limited space, people can only design tatami mats by the wall, which will cause one side of the tatami mat to be closed.
There is no storage space for closed tatami mats, so although tatami mats have storage functions, it is not necessarily better to have more storage space.
Secondly, the tatami mats are generally made of wood, which does not give people a very comfortable feeling in either summer or winter, and may be harmful to the elderly or children.
Moreover, the material of tatami mats is also susceptible to moisture, especially in the rainy season in the south, tatami mats are very easy to mold, but if tatami mats are damp and moldy, it will be more difficult to clean, and if they are not treated in time, tatami mats will become very ugly, which will affect the aesthetics of the overall decoration.
In addition, the splicing of tatami mats is likely to have the problem of excessive formaldehyde, which will affect people's health.
Therefore, although tatami mats can save more space in small apartments, the design of tatami mats also requires a certain amount of space.
Therefore, tatami mats are not suitable for all small apartments, especially in those that do not fit tatami mats, and tatami mats may take up more space.
Although tatami mats are designed as a space for storage, tatami mats also serve as a bed, and they come into contact with the surface of tatami mats when sleeping, and if the dust on the surface is not cleaned up in time, it may affect people's health.
The reason why tatami mats are less and less existing.
As a style in home design, tatami mats are favored by many people, but with the continuous development of society, people's quality of life is also improving, and the requirements for home design are also increasing.
Similarly, tatami mats are no longer favored by people, why tatami mats are no longer popular, let's find out together.
On the one hand, in actual use, the design of tatami mats is not flexible enough, and many people choose to use tatami mats mainly because of the storage function of tatami mats.
However, in actual use, the storage space of tatami mats is not large.
When some families decorate their houses, they design tatami mats and wardrobes together, which will cause the storage space of tatami mats to become very small.
It is impossible to put too many clothes in the space under the tatami mat, otherwise it will affect the normal use of the drawer, and the tatami mat is only used as a storage item, which is completely unnecessary to be designed as a tatami mat.
The design of tatami mats is not flexible enough, and for small apartments, if the area is small, the tatami mats will be very small, although it plays a certain role, but the higher utilization rate of space can save a lot of area.
If the area is large, the degree of display will be very high, which will affect the overall aesthetics of the space.
On the other hand, the use of tatami mats will also have certain health hazards, as mentioned earlier, the splicing of tatami mats may lead to excessive formaldehyde, tatami mats may also be moldy because of the use of wood is more humid and other reasons, and the surface of tatami mats is stained with dust, which will also affect people's health.
Secondly, tatami mats are susceptible to moisture, especially during the rainy season in the south, and tatami mats are prone to mold.
Tatami mats are difficult to clean, and if they are not treated in time, they will become very unsightly, and mildew will appear.
If the area of tatami mats is relatively wet, it may even cause the tatami mats to be unusable.
So tatami mats are no longer favored by people.
epilogue
Although tatami mats were loved by many people in the past, the times have developed and tatami mats have gradually become unpopular, and although tatami mats have many advantages, they also have some disadvantages.
Tatami mats are not suitable for all small houses, and the limited storage space of tatami mats is the reason why tatami mats are no longer popular.
Nowadays, tatami mats are not favored by people, but other designs can be explored to improve the utilization of space.
