The most common thing is the recommendation of various storage artifacts. The expansion of 100㎡ seconds to 200㎡ often ignores the essence of storage-not to collect more, but to use it well.
? What is effective storage?
Most people have a misunderstanding about admission. I have friends around me, or I think that storage is thrown away. Either find a way to design a hidden large storage space and put away all the sundries.
However, have you found that these storage methods can't solve the problem of sorting? It's that you reserved a lot of space in advance and found yourself enough reasons to buy in buy buy. The room is full of storage tools, but it is still untidy.
Storage has become the filling work of items, and all the useful and useless things in the house have been covered, so no one can see them.
It looks clean and tidy, but when the storage space is filled again, the room becomes messy again, and it can only escape to a simpler storage method again, thus falling into a vicious circle that cannot escape.
Effective storage is not to hide things, but to find them immediately when you want to use them. Improving storage efficiency is more important than increasing storage capacity.
It is impossible to change people's habits without changing people's consciousness.
There are only two things that should be done in real warehousing, one is to confirm the abandonment of the goods, and the other is to confirm the location of the goods. Do these two things well, no matter who can complete the sorting work quickly and efficiently.
Confirm that the abandonment of items begins with the abandonment of useless items. It is very difficult for most families in China, especially those with elderly people.
Items needed by a family account for 80% of the total items, 50% of commonly used items are stored first, and the remaining 30% are reserved with a small space to store items, which will not be as extreme as breaking up, but also meet psychological needs.
Respect parents' wishes, oppose the practice of "discarding without thinking" and oppose the unconscious hoarding of goods. If the purchase speed is much faster than the consumption speed, the total amount of goods cannot be reduced at all, and the room is always in the process of sorting out.
In addition to hoarding goods, there is another main reason why there are more and more items-I don't know the number of items I have, so it is very important to confirm the storage location of items.
? Cabinet storage
The kitchen often best reflects the cleanliness and storage capacity of a home, mainly the storage of cabinets.
Don't do partition
It is best not to partition cabinets, especially the bottom floor. It's inconvenient to get under the cupboard every time you take something.

And there are usually only two floors, which wastes a lot of storage space.

Compared with the partition, the drawer will be much better. You can get the contents by pushing and pulling, and you don't have to worry about hoarding the goods in a hidden corner and throwing them away.

Many cabinets and drawers have only one drawback, and the price will be more expensive.
Generally, there is only one set of drawers in a kitchen, and additional drawers are needed. The price of adding drawers is around 300 yuan, but you won't regret it after adding them!
Confirm the brand and length of drawer slide rail with the merchant in advance, or you may lose money. For example, a 60cm deep cabinet will make you a 40cm drawer, or it will be semi-drawn, because the short semi-drawn slide rail is cheaper.
Don't season the basket.
The seasoning basket in the cupboard is also tasteless.
Everyone still remembers that when introducing the kitchen storage method of Japanese housewives, it was mentioned that in order to be empty and convenient for cleaning next to the stove, it was best to put the seasoning box in the drawer under the stove.
Domestic cabinets also have special seasoning basket design. I thought it would be convenient to push and pull them. In fact, when cooking, it is a bit hectic to take out bottles from a basket full of spices and sauces.

Moreover, it has been stipulated where to put things and how big to buy them, otherwise they will not be put in at all, and the final result will be piled up on the table.
▲ Live among fans and take photos by yourself.
In fact, there is no need to pull the basket at all. Commonly used oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are packed in storage boxes and stored in hanging cabinets. When cooking, they are all taken down and put on the countertop, and then put back after cooking, neat and clean.
▲ Live among fans and take photos by yourself.
Other spices and ingredients that are not commonly used can be put in the drawer under the stove, and a small bowl can be prepared in advance when cooking, so there will be no hurry to find ingredients.

Hanging cabinets do not need to be topped.
Many people want to look good and have a large capacity, so the cupboard in the kitchen should be top-notch.
The height of the hanging cabinet itself is relatively high, and the storage space on the top floor is very thin, so you can't see the things inside, and you have to stand on tiptoe to pick up the things outside.
It is best to determine the height of the hanging cabinet according to your own height and height.
Moreover, the hanging cabinets are all non-standard cabinets, so there is really no need to add money to customize them. If you are worried about falling ash, seal it with a sealing plate.
? Wardrobe storage
Women's wardrobes are proof that they love themselves. It is a little lucky to go home and open a tidy wardrobe, but the reality is often like this:
Either the wardrobe is too small to hold all the clothes at all, and the season change has become a relay race for changing clothes;
Otherwise, there is enough space in the closet, but it is all partitioned and clothes are piled together. Looking for clothes is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
▲ Live among fans and take photos by yourself.
For wardrobe storage, it is strongly recommended to give priority to the clothes hanging area, supplemented by the drawer area, and no partition is needed.
▲ Live among fans and do it yourself.
The clothes hanging area is easy to take and store, so you don't have to take out a piece of clothes and pile up a bunch of clothes at random, and you don't have to stamp your feet when you go out in a hurry.
More importantly, I can see the number of my clothes at a glance and put it in the drawer without forgetting it. I feel that I have no clothes to wear every time I change seasons;
Always remind yourself that there are enough clothes and don't overspend on them.
The ideal clothes hanging area should be subdivided into: long clothes area, short clothes area and trousers hanging area, all of which are indispensable.
Hang long and short clothes separately to avoid wasting space under short clothes.
▲ Live among fans and take photos by yourself.
If you have a lot of short clothes, the long clothes area of the wardrobe takes up a lot of area, and you can also use telescopic poles to create a double-hanging clothes area.

? Bathroom storage
The bathroom is small and humid, except for toiletries, such as towels, toilet paper and sanitary napkins, which are not suitable for hoarding items in the bathroom.
▲ It is easy to breed bacteria when towels are placed like this.
The storage of small bathrooms should not be based on storage, but should consider the most commonly used items in bathrooms, and how to store and use them more conveniently.
Bottles, jars, rubber bands, razors and other commonly used odds and ends are best placed in the mirror cabinet, and the shelves with distinct layers and clear planning are clear at a glance.

Moreover, the depth of the mirror cabinet is 15~25cm, which is the most convenient. When the mirror is covered, nothing is messy, and the mirror reflection can also relieve the feeling of crowding and visually expand the space.
▲ Live among fans and take photos by yourself.
Storage demand is relatively large, and high cabinets are better than bathroom cabinets. The design of the high cabinet itself is slim and concise, occupying a three-dimensional space, and there will be no strong sense of oppression visually.
It is more convenient and faster to store things up and down than mirror cabinets and ground cabinets, and the storage efficiency is higher.
? Balcony storage
The reception, washing and drying of balconies in China are often interrelated, so when using space together with reception, washing and drying, basin, we should pay more attention to the size problem.
▲ Live among fans and take photos by yourself.
Hanging cabinets have the largest available space. In addition to cleaning supplies, you can also leave a cabinet to store higher tools such as brooms and mops, and the height is preferably above 130cm.
If you want to put a vacuum cleaner, the wireless vacuum cleaner should consider the storage of the charging seat and the location of the power socket.

The cupboard door can be used to hang tools and reduce partitions, and the space in the cupboard can be used flexibly by using hooks, shelves and orifice plates.
There is also a common combination of washing machine+hanging cabinet/shelf. It is also very practical to leave an open compartment in the hanging cabinet. The open compartment area is the most commonly used and convenient storage area, which is more convenient than opening and closing doors.

? Utilization of wall space
Using wall space is actually one of the ways to improve storage efficiency, and you can find what you need at a glance.

? Small item storage
In addition to a lot of big things visible to the naked eye, there are actually many small things in our drawers, which secretly occupy a lot of space.
Such as change, hairpins, erasers, spare buttons, gadgets, dry batteries that I don't know if I have used up, prescription drugs, key rings and so on.
I always feel that I can use it in the future, and I will accumulate more and more unconsciously. In this way, it will become the burden of using the space before, putting the cart before the horse.
There must be many broken wires in the data cable for unknown purposes, and even the machine itself does not exist. Keep only those familiar with performance. If it is really broken, it is better to buy new ones one by one and solve the problem faster.
Often some people want to keep the outer packaging boxes of large-size goods for use when moving. When to move, they don't know. It's really a loss to let the house they paid for occupy precious space for a long time.
Wait until you really want to move, then consider the box problem!
To tell the truth, are there any samples of cosmetics that have not been used for a year?
The service life of cosmetics samples varies greatly according to different manufacturers, some are two weeks, some are one year;
Moreover, due to the small capacity of the trial bag, compared with ordinary cosmetics, the quality deteriorates much faster. Deal with it quickly if you don't need it, and don't hurt your face!
Elastic belt, treadmill, juicer, and slimming yogurt machine, which were purchased for slimming and healthy life, were never used several times a year. If you can give them away, they will only take up space at home.
There are also fan pendants sent by various activities, plastic cup sets drawn from promotional lottery, shopping bags when traveling, and calendars obtained during New Year's greetings ... If you get rid of these, it will be easier for you to live at home and inside.
Real acceptance allows us to look at our life correctly and know what is necessary, what is unnecessary, what should be done and what should not be done in life.
What kind of things you have, you have what kind of attitude towards life. You can't judge what you need, and the items you don't need will keep increasing. In this way, both your home space and your spiritual level will be flooded with a lot of unnecessary items.
We all live in the "present", and the purpose of admission is to serve the "present" life more conveniently and comfortably. Learning to store things is not to optimize the storage capacity, but to consider our current needs.
You really don't have that much you need. Instead of buying too many useless things to occupy space, it is better to make good use of what you already have, free yourself from the shackles of things and live a more relaxed life!
