Storage partition logic

Partition by item usage frequency:Commonly used items should be stored in a position that is easy to access, and try to bend down and squat less. Then store them centrally according to the frequency of use: for example, low-frequency items can be placed on the top of wardrobes, tatami floors, bay window cabinets, etc.; High-frequency items are placed in convenient places such as sideboards, TV cabinets, desk drawers, etc.

Partition by item function attribute:For example, cleaning tools such as brooms, mops, vacuum cleaners, etc. can be stored separately in a set of cabinets or placed on the living balcony. Electrical appliances that need to be connected to electricity, such as microwave ovens and ovens, can be placed in layers and partitions with shelves.

Partition by storage method and size:For example, wardrobe, according to your own habits, if you like to hang clothes, design more clothes hanging areas, and distinguish the proportion of long and short clothes; If you like stacking, set up more laminates; If you have more detailed storage requirements and like to use storage boxes, baskets, etc., you need to determine the size in advance before designing.

Good design can add icing on the cake to a beautiful home life, and so can storage. A perfect storage system can subtly guide residents to develop good storage habits and make people enjoy life better.
