There Is A Row Of Open Storage Compartments In The Middle Of The Wardrobe, Which Is Both Storage And Practical.

1. Space planning: breaking the fixed thinking of “one door to the top”

When most people are mentioned about the wardrobe, their first reaction is to "one door to the top", pursuing a minimalist appearance and maximizing storage. However, as a storage organizer who has been working for many years, I suggest that you change your mind and create an open storage compartment by leaving a row in the middle of the wardrobe. This is not a waste of space, but a more scientific space deconstruction. It breaks the closed feeling of the traditional wardrobe and achieves a three-section partition in the vertical direction. This partition is the seasonal bedding area at the top, the open display and easy access area in the middle, and the commonly used clothing storage area at the bottom. This structure transforms the wardrobe from a single hiding place into an exquisite fusion of hiding and revealing, making it more visually breathable and functionally more in line with real life activities.

2. Layout optimization: clever solution to the "door opening problem" of small apartment bedrooms

Especially in situations where the bedroom area is not large, especially in those families that use swing-door wardrobes, the conflict between the bedside table and the cabinet door has become the most prominent and thorny problem. When planning, the lower part of the wardrobe was designed as a floor cabinet, and the upper part was designed as a wall cabinet, and a row of space in the middle was specially left. This space just avoided the area where the bedside table would block the effect. After doing this, the wall cabinet is used to hang the coats of the season, and the floor cabinet is used to store stacked clothes or drawer storage boxes. The open storage compartment in the middle replaces part of the functions of the traditional bedside table. Books, glasses, and water glasses that are read before going to bed are all conveniently placed within reach, which does not affect the opening and closing of the cabinet door and frees up the floor space next to the bed.

3. Partitioning method: establishing the storage logic of the “28-principle”

Regarding the principle of home storage called "Hide Eight Exposes and Two", the open storage compartment in the middle of the wardrobe is exactly part of the 20% "exposed". In response to this situation, we have to implement a behavior called refined partitioning based on the frequency of use of the item:

Highly frequent areas (open grids) are used to place aromatherapy, photo frames, recently read books, and bedroom decorations. If this area is used as the "decision-making area" for daily wear, then it can also be paired with a basket made with rattan craftsmanship and a storage function, or a storage box made of fabric to store accessories such as belts and scarves that are ready to be worn the next day.

There is an area with relatively low frequency (the wall cabinet at the top). In this area, a storage box with a window is used to place quilts or large items of clothing during the season change. After placing them, label them so that they can be easily found in the future.

In the area with medium frequency (the bottom cabinet specially placed here), the drawer-like storage box is used to stack clothes vertically, so that every T-shirt and sweater can be clearly seen. When taking one of them, the other clothes next to it will not be messed up, and the other clothes next to it will be kept neatly arranged.

4. Storage tools: the “finishing touch” to enhance the appearance of storage compartments

If the middle part is open, its beauty will directly affect the appearance of the bedroom. It is recommended to use storage boxes with uniform colors and high appearance to organize clutter. For example, choose a MUJI-style storage basket made of pure cotton and linen to store those odds and ends, so that it will immediately become visually clean and tidy. A particularly important step is to add an embedded sensor light strip. It not only functions as auxiliary lighting, but also is a powerful tool for shaping the atmosphere of the bedroom. When the light shines on the ornaments or books, the texture of the entire space will be immediately improved.

5. Practical steps: How to achieve transformation step by step

Remove and re-measure: Remove the original clothes from the closet, accurately measure the dimensions inside the cabinet, especially the area in the middle that is intended to be open, and calculate the specific values ​​of length, width and height.

1. Disassembly, modification and design : If you are customizing a wardrobe, you should clearly know that there should be space in the middle during the design drawing stage; if you are remodeling a finished wardrobe, you can consider removing the cabinet door in the middle (if the door panel can be disassembled separately), and beautify the edges of the incision.

3. Functional positioning : According to the habits of family members, determine whether the open grid is used as a "decorative display area", a "bedtime reading area", or a "sub-cleaning transition area".

4. Tools enter the venue : Purchase a storage box of suitable size and a light strip. It is recommended to use a charging induction type light strip because it does not require wiring. In addition, you also need to purchase decorations.

5. Place items in appropriate locations and beautify them : place items in corresponding areas according to categories, place heavy bedding on the top, use storage boxes in the middle to sort out sundries and decorate them with green plants or aromatherapy, and use folding boards at the bottom to store clothes in a standing manner .

6. Effect comparison: living experience before and after renovation

A "black box" generally refers to a closed one, such as the wardrobe before the renovation. You have to rummage through the cabinets to find things; the bedside table is filled with items, and the cabinet door is often blocked and cannot be opened; the bedroom lacks personal style and looks dull.

After the renovation, the open storage compartment in the middle has transformed into the visual focus of the bedroom, creating a warm and stylish atmosphere. High-frequency items are located within easy reach. The action of getting up in the morning to get clothes, and the action of placing mobile phones before going to bed are extremely smooth. The space in the middle of the wardrobe that had been wasted has been transformed into an efficient multi-functional area, and the storage efficiency has increased by at least 30%.

7. Multi-scenario solution: not only on the side, but also on the bedside to "turn waste into treasure"

Utilizing the entire wall at the head of the bed, in addition to the conventional side wall wardrobe, this design called "integrated bedside background wall design" is also amazing. Some bedrooms are extremely small, such as some bedrooms with a width of less than 3 meters, and it is impossible to place a wardrobe on the side. In this case, you have to do this:

The design plan is to customize a set of storage systems with integrated effects on the bedside. There is a row of shallow wall cabinets above the bed, which are used to store various items that are not frequently used. A row of long open storage compartments is left above the headboard to replace the bedside table. Mobile phones, books, glasses and other items can be placed on one side of the body. The cabinet placed below is a base cabinet that is the same length as the bed. Use it to store seasonal clothing.

There is such an advantage. It is presented as this L-shaped or straight-line layout, which makes perfect use of the vertical space. Not only does it not feel oppressive, but also because of the space in the middle and the decoration of the light strip, the bedroom shows a rich and personalized appearance. When you get up at night, turn on the light strip, and there will be soft light to guide you. It will not be dazzling and also ensures safety.

Through ingenious space deconstruction and reasonable tool intervention, the empty row in the middle of the wardrobe is not just an extra storage compartment, but also introduces a more orderly lifestyle to our daily life, and also introduces a more leisurely lifestyle.
