Tatami has become a popular choice for modern homes with its powerful storage function. To give full play to its storage advantages, the following are key design points and practical tips.
First, planning and layout are the basis. Before designing tatami, it is necessary to accurately measure the size of the room and plan it reasonably according to the shape of the space and the location of doors and windows. If the room is square, you can create a whole wall tatami, set up multiple drawers or flip-top storage grids along the wall, and conveniently store clothes and sundries in categories. For corner spaces or special-shaped rooms, use customized special-shaped tatami to transform irregular areas into storage "treasure lands", such as making triangular corners into open bookshelf-style storage, placing books and green plants, which is both practical and beautiful.
Secondly, the storage methods are diversified. Drawer-style storage is suitable for storing commonly used small items, such as socks, underwear, etc. The slide rails should be smooth and strong to avoid jamming during use. Flip-top storage boxes can be used to store seasonal clothes and beddings, and the interior can be divided into small grids to keep items neat. You can also set up a large through-compartment storage under the tatami, push the unused suitcases and large toys directly into it, and use the depth of the space to achieve large-capacity storage.
In addition, pay attention to the storage details. Install partitions inside the storage compartment, adjust the height as needed, adapt to different sizes of items, and avoid chaotic stacking of items. The handle design should be hidden and convenient, such as embedded handles or corner handles, which will not affect the overall beauty of the tatami and are easy to open. For families with children, the storage area can be set up with a special layer for children, with an appropriate height, so that children can organize toys and picture books by themselves.
Material selection is also related to the storage effect. The tatami board should be sturdy, durable, moisture-proof and insect-proof, such as solid wood multi-layer board, with strong load-bearing capacity and not easy to deform, to ensure the safety of the stored items. The quality of hardware accessories cannot be ignored. High-quality hinges and slides ensure that they will not be damaged under frequent use, extending the life of the storage system.
During the installation process, ensure that the tatami fits tightly with the wall and the ground without leaving gaps to prevent dust and mosquitoes from entering the storage space. If there is a lifting table design, its lifting mechanism should be stable, the desktop and the surrounding connection should be smooth, and it should not affect the normal opening and closing of the storage compartment.
Finally, you should develop good habits for daily use. Clean the storage space regularly, sort the items and put them in their place, and avoid random stacking. For items that are easily affected by moisture, put them in moisture-proof bags or storage boxes, and cooperate with indoor dehumidification measures to keep the inside of the tatami dry, so that the storage function can be long-lasting and efficient, bringing cleanliness and convenience to home life.
