It is said that when decorating a new house, the designer should help us optimize and implement the idea according to our preferences and needs. But in most cases, it's the designer's mindset that dominates us.

Therefore, it is also a relatively common phenomenon that due to the designer's unprofessionalism or mistakes, there are problems with the decoration of the new house, or the effect is far from our imagination.

However, this does not mean that the designer's suggestions are useless, like the following 6 seemingly inconspicuous small designs, only after moving in, you will know how easy to use.

1. Movable compartment of shoe cabinet

The internal compartment of the shoe cabinet is handled in a movable way, which I believe everyone knows, which can make the storage space more flexible and meet the storage needs of different shoes.

However, if there is no special explanation during the decoration, then the workers will generally use the compartment support to fix. To put it simply, the shelves can be removed freely.

If you want to add shelves, or if you want to move the shelves up and down, you need to re-perforate and install the compartment brackets. For us, it's obviously a complicated one.

Suggestions from the designer:

(1) Punch holes

In the way of 5cm spacing, the holes of the shelves are laid in advance, and the holes are installed on the shelves. In this way, we can freely adjust the shelves in later life to maximize the storage rate of the shoe cabinet.

(2) AA column

If you didn't let the master punch holes at the beginning, and there was a little gap on both sides of the shelf, then you can install AA columns for the shoe cabinet to realize the role of freely adjusting the position of the shelf.

However, it is best to install the AA pillar in an inline way when customizing the shoe cabinet, which will be more beautiful.

Second, the washing machine is heightened

In the case that more and more families are choosing drum washing machines, the biggest problem is that they need to squat and bend over when using, which is very uncomfortable.

Especially for the elderly who don't have a good waist, it's called a pain. There may even be unpredictable and dangerous situations due to sudden uplift.

Suggestions from the designer:

Directly increase the height of the washing machine by 45-0cm, that is, add a finished metal bracket at the bottom of the washing machine, or build it with red bricks, which not only improves the comfort of use, but also does not affect the bottom space storage.

However, there is one thing to note, that is, do not use the cabinet to increase the height of the washing machine in order to pursue beauty. Otherwise, there is a high chance that the following problems will occur.

Netizen @天山童姥Sissy: I have seen a lot of network diagrams, all of which are heightened with cabinets, and then the washing machine is embedded in it. Unexpectedly, when installing the washing machine, the master said that the manufacturer only allowed the washing machine to be installed on the ground, and directly stepped on a big hole, and now the cabinet can only be changed.

Netizen @babypingguo: Inserting the cabinet into the washing machine is not reliable at all. Every time I wash and dry clothes, the machine will vibrate too much, resulting in the washing machine and dryer moving and colliding, which is too unstable.

3. Leave a vacant space in the cupboard

As the kitchen is the most messy space in the home, the structure and storage design of the cabinet is particularly important. If we have no special requirements when customizing cabinets, manufacturers will generally design them in the way of open door cabinets + drawers.

Although I don't feel inappropriate for daily use, the countertop will be very messy. Because in daily life, many people are used to putting items in the most comfortable place for their own use.

Suggestions from the designer:

Leave an empty space when customizing cabinets, then tuck into a mobile trolley to store some dishes that don't need to be put in the fridge, or some condiments, freeing up the countertop and making the space more tidy.

If you don't like a trolley, you can also install a pull-out basket, which is also very convenient for storing different pots and pans.

Note: Whether you are stuffing a small trolley or installing an open pull basket, you need to give the size to the cabinet manufacturer in advance.

Fourth, the head of the bed is placed in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan

The backless bed can be said to be getting more and more popular in the past two years, and in the bedroom, in addition to making the space more concise, it can also indirectly play a role in amplifying the sense of space.

In order to match the backless bed, many families will make a wainscoting design for the head of the bed, and hide lights on it to further enhance the atmosphere of the space.

Although the aesthetics are very good, the practicality is a little less and does not bring too much help to life.

Suggestions from the designer:

Instead of making wainscoting for the head of the bed, it is better to design a half-wall shelf directly. The depth doesn't need to be too much, 20cm is about the same, and it doesn't take up too much space.

The advantage of this is that in addition to the storage table can store some items, the two sides of the bed can also be designed as niches, and then solve the embarrassment that the bedside table cannot be placed on both sides of the bed, or the bedside table will block the cabinet door.

5. Wardrobe cleaning area

Many people know that the bedroom needs a large wardrobe, and even forcibly design a cloakroom in order to have more storage space, but they often ignore some details of life.

For example, if the clothes taken off before going to bed every day are not properly planned during the renovation, they will be thrown everywhere, causing the bedroom to become extremely messy.

Suggestions from the designer:

When designing a wardrobe, reserve a clean space in advance for hanging clothes that will be left overnight. You can leave a space on the back of the bedroom door, on the side of the wardrobe, or in the middle of the wardrobe.

If the room area is relatively small, the bedside table will cross the wardrobe door after it is placed, and the innermost space of the wardrobe can also be designed as an integrated bedside table + clean clothes area to maximize space utilization and comfort.

Sixth, the entrance one-key power off

As we all know, every home has a distribution box, and when you need to turn off the electricity, you can just pull down the main air switch inside.

However, if the location of the distribution box is awkward, such as on the TV wall, hidden in the shoe cabinet, or obscured by an object, it will be more troublesome in daily work.

Suggestions from the designer:

Add a one-key power-off switch directly at the entrance, and press it when you go out, and the electricity at home will be cut off, which is very convenient.

However, there are also some problems that need to be paid attention to when processing, one is that the installation position needs to be staggered with other switches to avoid accidental touch during daily operation.

The second is that special electrical circuits need to be done separately, such as a refrigerator plugged in at 24 hours, so you don't need to connect to a one-button power-off switch.

In addition, the switch can also be connected with the smart home system, using the mobile phone to control the socket and switch to be powered off, but the cost is not cheap, and it is good to do ordinary power-off with a low budget.

Write at the end:

In fact, the designer and we are in a cooperative relationship, through close communication, we can understand the designer's intentions, and the designer can also understand our expectations for the home.

Therefore, when you decorate, you must have the ability to make self-judgments, adopt reasonable suggestions, and reject unreasonable suggestions. Only in this way can you decorate your ideal home, not the designer's ideal home.
