After decorating more than 1,000 model rooms, the 44 design details summarized are super practical!

1. Entry hook

The small hook at the entrance is very common in finely decorated houses and is very practical. When you return from going out, you will carry heavy objects such as bags in your hand. You can hang it on the wall and then take off your clothes and change your shoes.

2. One-touch switch at the door

Many "obsessive-compulsive disorder patients" or "amnesia patients" will struggle with one thing after going out every day: Have all the lights at home been turned off? ? Today's finely decorated rooms are usually equipped with a one-button switch at the door. With just one click, all the lighting in the house can be cut off. You can also ask an electrician to do the wiring work when decorating your own home.

3. The bottom of the shoe cabinet is suspended in the air

The bottom of the shoe cabinet in the entrance is suspended in the air. You can take off your commonly used shoes and kick them in. This makes the entrance space more tidy and beautiful, and saves the need to open the door to put shoes. steps. Like the picture below, the two floors are suspended in the air, which is suitable for families with a large population. Commonly used shoes are placed on the bottom and uncommon shoes on the top. For higher-end ones, you can also add light strips for lighting. In fact, this treatment method can also be applied to bathroom cabinets, with the bottom suspended in the air to put slippers, washbasins and other sundries.

4. Install storage racks on the inside of the cabinet door

The depth of shoes is usually 30-35 cm. It is recommended that the depth of the entrance cabinet be 40 cm and the partitions of the shoe cabinet be made. It is shorter, and the gap between the cabinet door and the partition can be equipped with stainless steel shelves to store slippers, umbrellas, shoe brushes, shoe polish, etc. The emergency lights at home can also be placed here.

5. Shoe cabinet partitions are divided into high and short ones

There are always high and low shoe sizes at home, high boots, high-waisted boots, high heels, flat shoes· ·····It is best not to fix the partitions of the entrance cabinet, but to drill holes on the sides to adjust the height of each layer, so that shoes of different sizes can be placed.

6. Install a pull basket in the shoe cabinet

You can also design a layer in the entrance cabinet to install the pull basket in the picture below to specifically store some shoe care tools or small sundries. .

7. Add a countertop and sockets to the entrance cabinet

If possible, a countertop should be hollowed out in the middle of the entrance cabinet. After entering the door, you can temporarily put your car keys, door keys, power banks, and small packages delivered by express delivery here. It is also recommended that everyone has a power outlet. Nowadays, there are many small appliances at home, such as power banks, air quality detectors, aromatherapy machines, etc., which can be charged or used here.

8. Multi-track glass sliding door

In today's cities, housing prices are high and there are many small houses. The kitchen area is usually small and seems cramped. How to solve this problem? It is recommended to make the kitchen open and use glass sliding doors to separate the kitchen from other spaces. Close it when cooking to avoid fumes; open it at ordinary times to expand the visual sense of the overall space.

9. Pure faucet above the stove

This method of treatment is actually very common in restaurants. The faucet is connected to direct drinking water, and water can be added directly to the pot when cooking. If you think this design is good, remember to reserve pipes when designing.

10. Stick stone or painted glass in front of the stove

Chinese kitchens have a lot of fumes, and the wall in front of the stove is most likely to be stained with oil. Some model rooms will have a large stainless steel plate in front of the stove, but I personally think it is not very beautiful, and the stainless steel surface is easily scratched over time. Another option is to replace it with white paint explosion-proof glass, which is easier to clean.

11. Place trash cans in the air under the cabinets

Most families put the trash cans in the kitchen. Placing the trash cans outside is unsightly. If your cabinet area is large enough, , you can refer to the cabinet design in the picture below, disconnect a section of the cabinet without skirting boards, and hollow out the bottom of the countertop to place a trash can. Nowadays, many cabinet designers will design the trash can in the cabinet under the sink. In fact, it is very inconvenient to use.

12. Install reflective panels on the wall cabinets

The height of the upper floor of the wall cabinet is too high. It is easy to forget what is placed on it after a long time. It is very inconvenient to use a stool to climb up to see it. .

I once saw a reflective plate attached to the top of the cabinet, so that you can easily see the items in the upper wall cabinet. Isn’t it very clever?

13. Integrated stone on the window sill and countertop in front of the sink

Generally, the wall in front of the sink in a home is covered with ceramic tiles. However, when the sink is in use, water often splashes out. It is inconvenient to clean the ceramic tiles during the period, and the gaps between the ceramic tiles are prone to mold over time. There are some high-end project model rooms where the window sills are directly covered with cabinet countertop stone. There are no gaps and it is easier to clean.

14. Corner basket

The corner of the cabinet usually has a large space, but it is very inconvenient to take items. It is recommended to install a small monster basket to place some large items. The pots and pans are very convenient to take, and you no longer have to kneel down to dig into the cabinet.

15. Stone packaging of gas riser pipes with stainless steel breathable grilles

In most home decorations, gas pipes are packaged with cabinet boards. I saw in some model rooms that they were packaged with stone. , coupled with a stainless steel grille, if there is a leak in the pipe, the smell can be released immediately to ensure safety. However, in this regard, I personally think it is better to use cabinet boards, which are flexible and removable. It is very inconvenient to remove stone materials.

16. A crossbar above the sink

Various rags are indispensable in the kitchen, and a space must be provided for them. You can make a crossbar on the wall. You can put rags, dishcloths, etc. on it, and you can also buy some hooks and plastic storage boxes to put soap, dishwashing liquid, and other sundries.

18. Wall cabinets with pull-down baskets

We all have this feeling at ordinary times. It is very inconvenient to access the items on the wall cabinets, especially for some ladies who are not tall. Also step on the stool. It is recommended to install this kind of drop-down basket. Domestic hardware is not very expensive, but it can effectively improve the quality of living and efficiency of use.

19. Equipped with a pull-out faucet

It is recommended that you must have one such a pull-out faucet. It will not only make you feel how convenient it is to clean a large sink, but also make women feel comfortable. Children can use it to wash their hair and so on.

20. Integrated ceiling-mounted cooling tower

Going to the kitchen to cook in summer is simply a torture. Even if there is central air conditioning at home, there is usually no air outlet installed in the kitchen. You can choose to install Liangba, a ceiling-mounted fan that can effectively lower the room temperature in the kitchen. The price is not expensive, only a few hundred yuan on Taobao.

21. Use tall cabinets as small appliance towers

There are more and more small appliances in the kitchen, and some of them are not often used. There is not so much space if all the cabinets and countertops are spread out. If possible, it is best to build a set of high cabinets in the kitchen, place various small household appliances in them, and reserve a power supply. Like a rice cooker, you can also make a pull-out countertop, which can be pulled out and used directly every time you cook without having to move it around, which is very convenient.

Some living rooms will have bay windows, but the depth will not be very large. Combine the height of the bay window window sill to make some depth A cabinet over 60 cm tall can be used as a seat by covering the top with mats, and the bottom can be used for storage. This is a good way to expand the storage space in the living room of a small apartment.

23. Reserve hanging wires in the suspended ceiling to hang paintings

This method is not very common. I have seen wire troughs reserved in the ceilings of some model rooms. Use steel wire to hang pictures, so you don't have to drill nails into the wall to damage the wall.

At the junction of traditional floor paving and door stone, the closing is mostly fastened with copper door strips. Now there is also a A popular treatment technology is that when the floor and stone are of the same height, a stainless steel strip is used to close the edge, which is very beautiful.

Main lights are no longer popular in home decoration living rooms.

The light source and atmosphere, multi-point, multi-level lighting make the lighting in the entire space softer, not dazzling, and free of shadows.

Generally, the height of the sockets in our homes is only 30 cm from the ground, but this height is easily blocked by furniture. The method is to raise the height of the sockets on both sides of the bed to 75 cm from the ground, just above the bedside table. Charge your phone before going to bed, and you no longer have to bend down to lift the bedside table to find an outlet. In addition, for sockets on the sides of TV cabinets and sideboards, you also need to consider the height of the home placement and try to raise them above the furniture.

Different drawers on the sides and bottom hold different items, some are dedicated to jewelry, and some are dedicated to cosmetics. Even cosmetics are divided into flat boxes such as powders and lipsticks, tall bottles such as lotions and cleansing oils, and even cosmetics. Store opened and unopened items separately.
