Many people tend to choose large furniture such as TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, wardrobes and desks when decorating their homes, thinking that this will look more atmospheric.
However, in reality, some items that are too large can affect practicality and convenience in daily life. Therefore, some things are smaller and better, and we should avoid wasting unnecessary expenses on size when shopping, especially the following five items.
Traditionally, the coffee table is one of the indispensable pieces of furniture in the living room, usually placed in front of the sofa to facilitate the placement of small items such as remote controls, tissue boxes, etc.
Nowadays, the role of the coffee table is not as important as it used to be, and some families even choose to abandon the coffee table for more space. But at some point, we still need a coffee table to put some items.
Therefore, it is more practical to choose a smaller and lightweight coffee table.
Although a large coffee table can hold more items, it is heavy and difficult to move, especially when it needs to be moved for cleaning. In addition, if a large carpet is laid in the living room, the heavy coffee table will be pressed on it, and it will be difficult to move when washing, causing inconvenience.
Size Recommendations:
The ideal size of the coffee table in the living room should be less than 80X0 cm, and the material should be durable and lightweight, so that it can be easily moved and can hold the necessary items.
Consider using a side table instead of a traditional coffee table and moving it to the front or sides of the sofa as needed for added flexibility. In addition, the storage trolley with wheels is also a good alternative to the coffee table, which is more convenient and faster to move.
An indispensable piece of furniture in the bedroom is the bed. Considering that most commercial houses have limited bedroom size, it is more appropriate to choose a slightly smaller bed.
For example, a three-bedroom house of 5 square meters will have a main bedroom of about 0 square meters, other bedrooms of about 0 square meters, and some even only 0 square meters.
Therefore, when buying a bed, you should pay special attention to the size and ensure that there is enough space for wardrobes, desks, bedside tables, etc. after the bed is placed.
When buying a bed, you need to consider the actual size of the bedroom, and it is best to ensure that there is at least 50 cm of space around the bed for daily activities.
At the same time, consider the reasonable layout of wardrobes, desks, beds and bedside tables to improve the comfort of the bedroom.
Size Recommendations:
For smaller bedrooms, a 30.0 m wide bed is recommended. Although it is only 0 cm narrower than a 0.0 meter bed, it will make the bedroom appear more spacious and avoid a sense of oppression.
If the bedroom area is small and the layout is difficult, you can consider the integrated design of tatami bed, bookcase and desk to make full use of the space, especially the bay window area, to improve the space utilization.
A dining table is furniture for eating, and bigger is not always better, but a combination of factors.
For small families, there is no need to buy an oversized dining table. For example, a family of three can eat comfortably at a 4.0-meter-long dining table without having to choose a larger dining table.
At the same time, consider the size of the restaurant and the location of the sideboard. Generally, the depth of the sideboard is about 60 cm, and after placing the dining table, at least 0 cm of space should be reserved for walking.
Therefore, the choice of dining table should not simply pursue large size, but should be decided according to the specific opening, depth and sideboard location of the restaurant.
Size Recommendations:
For most families, a long dining table under 2.0 meters is ideal. The diameter of the round dining table should be controlled within 0.0 meters, and there should be enough walking space to make the layout reasonable.
A bedside table is a common piece of furniture in a bedroom, usually one on each side of the bed. When choosing a bedside table, the common size is between 60 and 0 cm, which is larger.
If the bedroom is small, it is recommended to have only one bedside table. Placing two may affect the opening of the wardrobe door, especially since the current wardrobe door is mostly a casement design.
Size Recommendations:
For bedrooms with limited space, it is recommended to buy a bedside table with a width of no more than 45 cm, or you can choose a rectangular design such as 0X0 cm or 0X0 cm.
Consider using a single bedside table instead of a traditional twin bedside table, or design a hidden bedside table close to the wardrobe side to improve space efficiency.
The sofa is the centerpiece of furniture in the living room. Although we often spend our free time on the sofa, it is still advisable to choose a smaller sofa style.
Nowadays, the living room of most commercial houses is not large, about 4 to 0 meters. Placing a large sofa can make the living room feel crowded.
An oversized sofa not only limits the flexibility of the living room layout, but also makes it difficult to move, leaving a limited amount of space to move around after placing the coffee table.
Therefore, especially for small apartments, it is not recommended to buy an oversized sofa.
Size Recommendations:
For small apartments, it is recommended to buy a two-seater sofa with a length of less than 60 meters. It is best to keep the width of the sofa cushions at about 0 cm, and avoid buying models that can be semi-reclined to prevent damage to the spine.
【Conclusion】
When choosing furniture for your new home, be sure to measure and confirm the dimensions of the site beforehand, and consider whether there is enough space for daily activities after the furniture is placed to avoid unnecessary trouble.
