If you're annoyed by a messy shoe cabinet that can't be stored, be sure to put the practicality of the shoe cabinet first when you renovate.
There are about 12-15 pairs of shoes for one person throughout the year, and the total number of shoes for the whole family is about 70 pairs. With so many shoes, without a super-large capacity shoe cabinet, I am afraid that the home will become a mess, and every time I look for shoes, it will be quite devastating.
Therefore, today Xiaoai will share with you the most practical shoe cabinet practice, pay attention to the following 4 points, and customize a shoe cabinet suitable for the whole family's large storage capacity, which not only has a large capacity, but also has a very high appearance and convenience.
The shoe cabinet does these 4 points without wasting space
1. Determine the depth
Both the shoes of both the female and male owners should be considered, from 35 to 45 sizes, and it is more appropriate to keep the depth of the shelves at 350mm after calculation. Of course, this is the size without a shoebox, which is the most space-saving size, if you want to put a shoebox, you have to make it 400mm.
2. Determine the spacing of the shelves
The spacing between the shelves is the distance between the two horizontal plates in the shoe cabinet, and this distance is calculated according to the height of the shoes. Generally speaking, men's shoes are relatively simple and relatively short.
Therefore, we calculate by the height of women's shoes, and calculate by the general common single shoes, after all, many boots of women's shoes need to be stored separately.
The height of the single shoe is the height of the upper plus the heel, the upper is generally 40mm, the heel is 20-110mm, the maximum height is 150mm, and there is a slight space between the plates, we calculate it according to 160mm, this distance can basically accommodate all common single shoes.
3. Make movable shoe cabinet panels
As mentioned above, the height of the shoe is related to the style, and some women's boots can reach the calf or even exceed the knee, and the fixed spacing between the layers is obviously not able to be accommodated.
And in order to ensure that the style of our shoes is not restricted, the plate layer of the shoe cabinet should be made as much as possible to be dismantled at any time and move to adjust the spacing at any time.
The method is actually very simple, that is, when customizing the shoe cabinet, it is said that the shoe cabinet board is made movable through the row of drills and clamps.
This spacing is recommended to be spaced at an interval of 32mm, that is to say, a hole is punched every 32mm on the side panel of the shoe cabinet, so that the distance between the top and bottom of the shoe board can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the height of the shoe to meet the storage of all shoes and boots, and the space of the shoe cabinet is not wasted.
4. Clarify the composition and height of the shoe cabinet
Generally speaking, shoe cabinets are usually located in the entrance position, mainly composed of floor cabinets, wall cabinets, high cabinets, shoe stools, and decorative cabinets (lateral closing).
This combination can not only meet our needs for storing shoes and boots, but also serve as a storage space, decorative space, and convenient life. The height of various cabinets is determined by the ceiling height of the entrance of one's own home, and it is not completely uniformly determined.
However, here Xiao Ai gives you a few suggestions for reference.
Base cabinet: 1100mm high, can be used as a drawer, large countertop, strong storage power.
Wall cabinet: 1700mm high, you can let go of the shoes of the season, not commonly used in the season.
High cabinet: 2360mm high, large capacity, cabinet door can be made into a fitting mirror, eliminating the need to buy separately, practical and convenient.
Shoe stool: 450mm high, can meet the needs of most people, the elderly and children are also universal. It is also a practical choice to make a drawer under the stool for changing shoes or open to store shoes.
When building a shoe cabinet, you should also pay attention to these 3 points
1. Practicality first, capacity first
Whether we are decorating a new home with a custom shoe cabinet or buying a finished shoe cabinet, we must put the capacity of the shoe cabinet in the first place.
Other features are the icing on the cake, such as wanting an extra hanger area, adding an extra drawer, wanting an extra hat storage area, etc., which are not as important as capacity. It can provide us with convenience, and solving the most important storage is the most important thing.
2. Appropriately open the open position
I have also advised many times before that the bottom of the shoe cabinet in the entrance should not be completely closed, leaving some space for it to be very convenient to wear and change shoes often.
For example, there is often a large opening under the base cabinet, so if we have a large number of people in the family, we can actually make a double-layer open lattice.
3. Be good at using house types and walls
Different houses have different house types, and if you want to accommodate a large amount of shoe cabinets, but you don't want to be too bulky, you need to use the house type and wall to make a built-in one. This custom-made built-in shoe cabinet is not only beautiful, but also has a large capacity.
Of course, how to use the entrance position to make a shoe cabinet more scientifically requires communication with a professional designer. It is recommended that before you make an appointment with the designer, you should bring the floor plan of your home, and you should also know the approximate distance of the space.
