I don’t need to emphasize how important storage is. Many people want to fill up the cabinets when decorating, especially if the cabinets are high to the top and the entire cabinet door is made of large boards, which improves the aesthetics, but to be honest, the practicality is not high!
The whole cabinet door reaches the top, which is not only expensive, but also easy to deform once used for a long time, and increases the load-bearing pressure of the hardware. You may wish to focus on the two-section type, especially these 5 types at home are more worthy of consideration:
◆◆◆◆◆◆
✔Entry cabinets
Entrance cabinets should be left empty. Most people focus on the bottom, mainly for changing shoes. There is nothing wrong with that, but if there is enough storage space, you might as well leave a countertop in the middle to form an upper and lower layer for convenient storage. Especially during the epidemic, it is perfect to put some narrow openings and disinfectant alcohol.
The upper and lower sections prevent the tall cabinet from reaching the top. It seems to sacrifice part of the storage, but it greatly increases the convenience of use. As for the size of the empty area, it can be adjusted according to actual needs. Some families will also use it alone on the side, or even form an L-shaped segmented entrance cabinet, which also acts as a partition.
Of course, if you have ideas, you can also consider changing the corners to arc shapes. It is also segmented, which is more visually beautiful, can also avoid collisions, and is more friendly to the elderly and children.

✔TV cabinet
I can’t wait to decorate small and medium-sized apartments The TV wall is filled with TV cabinets, which means more storage, but it is more likely to feel visually crowded, which is not worth the gain. After changing to a two-section style, there is space left in the middle to properly place the TV. The remaining countertop can also be decorated with hanging paintings, green plants, etc., and it is okay to put some books occasionally.
Based on the actual use, on the basis of the two-section style, we can also make slight adjustments, appropriately reserve high cabinets on one or both sides, and consider layering as appropriate to help store some sundries, which will make it more practical.
In addition to the two-section style, some families will also use cabinet doors to create a visual illusion. The following is an example. Different materials or textures are used on both sides of the empty space.
The two-section type is not limited to storage cabinets. The following two real-life decoration scenes can be used for reference:
● Styling wall + storage floor
● Suspended storage cabinet + floor

✔ cabinet
cabinet is a typical two-section type. The wall cabinet + floor cabinet can meet the needs of large-capacity storage. I don’t need to say more about this.
If you want hygienic cleaning to be more convenient, remember to use large-area ceramic tiles or enamel boards on the wall in front of the gas stove, and use oil-proof stickers to consider cost-effectiveness.
As for large items such as refrigerators in the kitchen, the size and location must be determined in advance. If you are more concerned about aesthetics, use a specially built-in refrigerator.
◆◆◆◆◆◆
✔Closet
Clothes should be segmented appropriately. The empty countertop is convenient for storing items, especially near the bedside. It can also be used as a bedside table, especially in the children's room. This area can also be used to properly place some commonly used toys. The location should not be elevated, so as to cultivate children's good habit of independent storage and organization.
At the same time, we can also consider placing the drawers externally to save worry and effort when handling them. Generally speaking, the number of drawers in custom wardrobes is usually 2 or 3, and any excess drawers need to be counted as additional items.

✔It is not a waste to change the washing machine cabinet to a two-section type. On the contrary, the empty space can be used to add a sink. Families with children and sufficient budget can install an additional small wall-mounted washing machine to wash children's clothes. If they are no longer needed later, they can also be used to wash socks.
In actual use, even if it is segmented, we can adjust it according to personal needs, such as:
●The wall cabinet is partially left empty, and the plastic box is used to increase the convenience of taking it. It is just right to put some commonly used cleaning items. If you want to The method can also be changed to a split-level countertop;
● By adding a clothes hanging area under the wall cabinet, hanging rods and other auxiliary storage can also be added to the unused wall;
● The bottom of the washing machine cabinet can be appropriately left empty to make room for the sweeping robot, especially if the balcony is integrated into the room, it is worth emphasizing.
