Don't ignore these five types of furniture when decorating.

2025-10-19

The issue of furniture storage is what people are most concerned about during the home decoration process. Generally speaking, we only pay attention to the quality of the furniture itself, but ignore the space and size of the objects it needs to store. To create a piece of furniture that performs well in terms of storage space, we must first understand the size of the object itself.


Wardrobe

We need to know these things to keep our coats looking good when we take them off and hang them on the hanger after coming back from outside.

Most coats are 120cm high, so just determine the position of the hanging rail or hook. Within the 120cm range, the extra part can be used to create small drawers, add shelves or make a shoe cabinet. If there is enough height, you can hang two layers of clothes, which means that the remaining space can be used to store anything you want to store.

The spacing between the shelves should not be too wide, otherwise the clothes will be piled up on one side, which will cause the clothes to be deformed and difficult to take out and wear.

Divide your clothes into different categories and design a unique wardrobe according to the height of the walls in the room. You will suddenly have a lot more space to use.


bookcase

Reading is a hobby for more and more young people and the best choice to pass the time in their spare time.

Small books are generally 15cm wide, and large books are generally 21cm wide. Most books can be placed on a 23cm deep bookshelf. The mobile shelves can also be adjusted to 30cm to accommodate larger books. For some books of unusual sizes, you can choose to place them horizontally.

Adjustable shelves mean that each shelf can be adjusted to suit books of different heights. In a limited space, it is important to maximize the use of every centimeter.

By dividing the corridor into 23cm width, you can have a super cool bookshelf with adjustable shelves to store books of different heights more conveniently.


desk

Whether studying or working, you will need a workbench, which will inevitably take up some space in the house.

For those who don’t have a study room at home but need to work, you should pay attention. As long as there is a wall, the problem can be solved. The screen size of a general laptop computer can be solved.

12-inch 4:3: 18.59cm x 24.74cm

12 inches 16:10: 16.42cm x 26.14cm

13 inches 16:10: 21.59cm x 31.91cm

14-inch 16:9: 17.45cm x 30.99cm

14-inch 4:3: 21.44cm x 28.58cm

14 inches 16:10: 19.01cm x 30.39cm

15-inch 4:3: 22.81cm x 30.43cm

Therefore, it is sufficient to leave an office space slightly wider than this size.

This foldable design is most useful for small families. It can be opened to become a workbench when working, and closed to become a small storage cabinet when not working. Small ornaments can be placed on it to decorate the room.

The movable shelves can be adjusted according to the user's height, and the desktop can also be adjusted according to the height of the chair. The upper shelf requires a 30cm deep shelf and a minimum height of 32cm to ensure the depth and height to accommodate documents or books. Leave at least 50cm of space between the top of the table and the first shelf so that you will not feel oppressed when working.

Designing this kind of workbench directly on the wall can save the space occupied by the table legs, and it will not take up too much space when closed when not in use. The storage compartments inside can be used to properly store favorite CDs or other collections.

Use the corner space next to the door to design a small office space. Facing the wall, you will not be disturbed by others, allowing you to work and study more attentively.

A small desk lamp and a few favorite books, and that's a whole study.


Cleaning lockers

The placement of brooms and mops is the least important thing in every home, but it has the greatest impact on the appearance.

Try to classify these messy household items and place them in a dedicated place. A cabinet that is 60cm wide, 40cm-50cm deep and 160cm high will be very suitable.

Utilize every surface area and maximize the value of every centimeter with strategically placed hooks and baskets.


shoe cabinet

With many households adopting a no-shoe policy these days, shoe storage requires some serious thought.

Most shoes are no longer than 30cm, so the simplest solution is to create shelves that are 30cm deep and design shelves with adjustable height, so that your shoe cabinet can accommodate a range of footwear, from slippers to boots.

If you prefer fixed shelves, as long as there is 12cm-18cm between each shelf and they are placed at a certain angle, they can accommodate shoes longer than 30cm.

Designing shelves on the wall to store shoes can effectively reduce the use of floor space in the home.

If you can't make so many layers of boards at home, then move the position upwards. It's not easy to find a place 30cm wide. As long as there is a small space, the shoes will not move around. Why not do it?

Hanging shoes directly on the wall is simple and crude, which makes it easy to take them out without deforming them.
