Save your life, it's 2024, how can anyone still treat tatami mats as a small household artifact!
Recently, I have probably really caught up with the decoration tide, and many friends have begun to do their decoration homework, from style to construction, all kinds of strategies have emerged in endlessly, so our old actor - tatami mat once again appeared in front of Ah Yong.
The cause is just a question from a netizen @小Mo can't eat enough:
#小户型#, #榻榻米#, #储物收纳#, whenever these 3 keywords appear at the same time, there will be a small leek who does not know the truth and falls into the decoration consumption trap.
In the past year, Ah Yong has popularized the decoration of small apartments from all angles, including the tatami rooms, walk-in wardrobes, etc., which are now installed in many small apartments.
How to install tatami mats, what is said on the Internet does not count, it depends on everyone's needs!
Correct understanding of tatami mats
Not all types are suitable for small spaces
Generally speaking, there are two types of tatami mats, spatial tatami mats and functional tatami mats.
Space tatami mats are more inclined to traditional Japanese tatami mats, which have almost no practical functions, but are used to distinguish the space, such as the tea room, floor, etc., which many houses will do now, and divide a unique style of space for leisure, if there are relatives and friends to stay, it can also be used as a temporary bedroom, but there is almost no storage capacity.
Functional tatami mats are completely different, and they take on certain functions in many spaces, such as tatami beds in small secondary bedrooms, which assume the dual functions of sleeping and storage.
And for small apartments, there are these spaces to consider making tatami mats:
#阳台
The balcony space is actually very suitable for platform-type tatami mats, after all, for small apartments, all the space is almost just needed, and the leisure space is seriously insufficient.
#小次卧
Whether it is a rough small apartment or a hardcover small apartment, there is a very chicken rib small secondary bedroom, which can be said to exist in order to make up 3 rooms.
If this space is only for a small couple, it can be transformed into a cloakroom or study, etc., which is not too limited by space. But if a family of three lives, and occasionally there are elderly people to help with children, the narrow second bedroom can hardly have the function of a bedroom, at this time tatami is a good choice, relying on customization to integrate the three major functions such as wardrobe, desk, bed into a small space, at least can be used in junior high school.
But when the child is older, it is not suitable and needs to be remodeled.
#书房
Originally, Ah Yong did not recommend everyone to install tatami mats, and the tatami study was anti-human at first glance, and almost did not pay attention to ergonomics.
But in the end, it was written, on the one hand, there are netizens and Ah Yong feedback, the tatami study is used to meet the needs of temporary office at most, it is unlikely to sit for a day, 30 minutes - 1 hour of light office, tatami study is a good solution, on the other hand, the multi-functional room is now favored by netizens, the use of simple tatami can have one more function, for small apartments are also acceptable.
But here I still want to remind everyone that this kind of multi-functional tatami mat will have an anti-human experience such as stuck feet and insufficient space when used, and it will also affect the storage space to a certain extent.
I don't know if you have found it, no matter what the space is, Ah Yong did not mention the function that everyone is most concerned about, that is, storage, the reason is very simple, everyone thinks that the tatami mat can be installed, in fact, it is not so able to be installed, and it is not even convenient to take it.
In the real-life experience of Ah Yong's colleagues, if it is a spare bedroom that is almost uninhabited, it may be more practical to convert it into a cloakroom than to make a tatami bed.
Can tatami mats be loaded?
Not necessarily!
After a simple calculation, we know that a tatami bed with a length of 2m, a width of 1.2m and a height of 0.5m has a volume of only 1.2m³, and if it is a simple cabinet with a ceiling and floor, it is 0.6m wide, 1.2m long and 2.7m high in terms of conventional size, and the volume has reached 1.94m³.
Because most of the cabinets use three-dimensional space, relatively speaking, there are no tatami mats to occupy space, but it solves more storage problems.
In addition to the volume, the tatami mat is obviously criticized for more than these, taking the questions collected by Ayong as an example, each of them is a persuasion note:
#拿取非常不方便
There are generally two storage modes for tatami floor cabinets, one is to make drawers, and the other is to make the top panel detachable for direct storage.
Although the drawer type is easy to take, but the actual things that can be loaded are very limited, some of the larger sundries, such as quilts, down jackets, etc., basically say goodbye to this space, you can completely imagine the kind of bed with drawers, can only put some small things at hand.
If it is a space for direct storage on the roof, the amount of storage is very huge, and a whole space must be sorted out before it can be stored, which is the last straw that overwhelms the cleaning.
#榻榻米能取代床 No!
When you see the beginning, you may refute Yong: "We don't install tatami mats just to load things, it must be because the room is not enough to live in people!"
Indeed, living is a rigid demand.
But you should also note that tatami mats are not a suitable place for long-term sleep, which was analyzed by a professional custom teacher when the live class of the college was installed before, and Ah Yong did not make an axe in the class, so I will briefly tell you the conclusion:
For houses in the south, because of the humid weather and environment, the tatami mat itself is not breathable, and it is easy to accumulate moisture, which will not only accelerate the mold and deformation of the tatami mat, but also affect the health of the body.
If you don't believe me, you can go home tonight and lift your mattress to see if the normal bed frame is all skeletal frame.
Therefore, if you are sure to install tatami mats, you must ensure that this room is not a long-term living room, but only a temporary emergency room.
Can't make tatami mats,
What should I do for small apartment storage?
If you have read the above situations and determined that tatami mats are indeed not your first choice, then you can consider these methods.
#衣帽间
If the permanent population of the family is not large, you can consider making the small room into a multi-functional room, and also use the whole house customization to integrate the functions of the cloakroom and the study, so as to retain as much storage space as possible, and at the same time solve the study problem.
#正常卧室
If there is indeed a large number of people in the family, and the small secondary bedroom needs to be used, you can buy a box bed frame with its own storage, whether it is online or offline, there should be a style, and you can choose the right size.
Compared with the cabinet that stands on the ground, because the space of the small secondary bedroom itself is insufficient, it is simply made a hanging cabinet at the end of the bed to put some children's seasonal clothes.
#活动家具
For those who do not have permanent residence needs, but only cope with the occasional arrival of relatives and friends, it is also recommended that you transform this small space into a multi-functional room, place a folding bed or sofa bed, spread out when in use, and do not take up space when not in use.
As long as the size is measured, the remaining excess space can be transformed into a standing cabinet to solve the problem of insufficient storage in small space.
Let's just say that because of the lack of space, the most important thing for a small apartment is to be careful in budgeting, no matter how much the business says, we must stick to our hearts, recognize the needs, and maximize the use of space!
